The group is composed of seven members: Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Juria, Cocona, Maya, and Harvey.[3] They made their debut on March 18, 2022, with the release of the digital single "Tippy Toes".[4]

Name

The group's name, XG, is an acronym for "Xtraordinary Girls".[5] The term is used as an aspirational name, as the group strives to empower young people all over the world with their fresh, inventive music and performance.[6][7] XG's fandom name is "Alphaz".[8]

XG's social media accounts were launched on January 25, 2022, with a short video entitled Xgalx – The Beginning.[9] The video showed several girls in training for the Xgalx Project. This was followed by a dance performance video directed by Choi Hyo-jin, of the Korean street dance TV show Street Woman Fighter.[10] Over the next few weeks, the group released a series of teaser content, including a rap video featuring Jurin and Harvey performing a cover of Rob Stone's "Chill Bill",[11] and a vocal cover video of Justin Bieber's "Peaches", performed by Juria and Chisa.[12] On February 2, XG posted solo dance performance videos, with each member dancing in different styles.

On March 18, 2022, XG made their debut with the release of their all English-language digital single "Tippy Toes".[13] On June 29, they released their second all English-language single titled "Mascara",[14] followed by their first television appearance on South Korean Mnet's M Countdown performing the single.[15] On November 17, XG released a rap cypher video entitled Galz Xypher.[16]. The video became viral on a TikTok through an XG fan account, gaining over 15 million views on the platform.[17]
