This is Japanese work ethic. Simon is half Japanese so he knows the culture. The reason these girls are doing everything extremely well is not only because they’re skilled and talented, but because they were trained with strict discipline, intense work ethic, and strong attention to details. All of these things combined is the XG that we see today, and they never stop perfecting their craft. So yes, this documentary is hard to watch and it makes us all feel bad to see these girls cry, but the rigorous training was necessary not only to make them into a successful global group but also for their personal strength and individual growth.
get ready for a crazy journey. there is no sugarcoating in this doc. it is very raw and rarely pulls on the punches. we are going on all the ups and downs. that said, when the smoke clears you're gonna know an appreciate the XG journey so much and understand that this is required watching for any Alphaz. thanks for sharing this react with us and the subs are really appreciated.
Real and genuine Alphaz understands and knows what Simon-san is doing for XGALX and the Xtraordinary Girls. To me, he IS the CEO of CEOs in the Asian music industry. He knows how to take care of his people , even his technical staff.
as much i appreciate how eager you are to learn about the(XG) girls, i would love if you give the mastermind(PD Simon, aka Jakops) the same attention.😊 so i suggest to watch episode XX and i'm sure you gonna love not just the girls as a group but the whole XGALX as a team..
If you get a chance to watch the XG days vlogs you'll see how much respect and care there is between XG and Simon. He used to be a idol himself so he understands the struggle and hardships.
I appreciate this series so much because it is so raw and you almost never get to see this kind of stuff from groups. These kinds of things are just unfortunately the harsh realities of trainee life. Simon truly is a mastermind and theres a reason the girls respect him so much. It also helps that he has been through these same things himself so he has a bit of insider knowledge when it comes to these things.
This documentary should be on netflix or something so more ppl watch it. I'm sad so many ppl misunderstood Simon, like with the debate whether XG is kpop or not and things like that... If only they'd watch this documentary, they'd know Simon's stance about it. And I feel his stance, vision and mission are wonderful. Coming this far I respect him more and more because whatever he, XG or XGALX do are proven true and alligned to what he said in the very beginning. Truly good leader.
Yeah Xtra Xtra was a hard watch because it is unfiltered and actually shows the brutal process of training and eliminating trainees. It's gonna get more brutal in the following episodes. This documentary was the reason why I love SIMON just as much as I love the girls.
YES!! YOU NOW ON THE ALPHAZ JOURNEY!! Diamonds came from fire and pressure... now you will start to understand why ALPHAZ ARE SO OVERLY PROTECTIVE OF OUR LADIES.
Here you will see how great simon is, and he's vision, he write shooting stars before even the group was formed, and they could have debuted with that song and go global, but he didn't, and he really does cares about the girls, they are family, before each showcase, he always tell them to just have fun, and not worry about anything, and if something goes wrong, he will take full responsibility, i mean what CEO does that, he was an idol, he knows how is the industry, and that's whe he treats them different, he's amazing 👏
enjoring your reaction - I hope you can get through this, it’s life, raw, hartwarming, heartbreaking, but if you complete this, the reward a real bond with these girls, it’s worth it
Shouldn’t have any issues with the documentary as far as TH-cam is concerned no one else has, for warning episodes 5 thru 7 are pretty emotional, also know the episodes jump back and forth so pay close attention to the timeline
Thank you, thank you so much for taking your time in reacting to this beautiful, albeit sometimes bittersweet journey of theirs. Stock up on your tissues though it's gonna be crazy -- but i'm 100% sure you're gonna love them even more after you finish this one. Simon & XG are the DREAM TEAM -- it goes beyond the typical CEO/Artist relationship, it's more like a mentor, a father and brother figure if you will. You'll see it for yourself as you progress this journey.
Xtra Xtra definitely a hard watch! if you wanna break it up a bit with some more happy stuff their vlogs are very funny and wholesome (Xtra Xg and XG Days)
Simon Jakops is the only CEO worthy of being a Bias option. You will see why with this Documentary. ALPHAZ love him and you might even get to meet him in person and take pic with him at the concerts. Simon Jakops was a member of KPOP group DMTN, E.R. is a great song from them.
Es muy dificil ver a las chicas llorar. yo ya vi el documenta por 3 veces y todas las veces he llorado. I thought the same thing about the choice of music for them being so young.
XG is the direct challenge to the SK censorship bureau who controls KPop and the direction it's going and the sound of KPop(which to me is censored trash) I could explain a lot cause I was there for the birth of XPop 30 yrs ago and XPop is the term I used 30 yrs ago to be the genre of the hip-hop direction Korean music was going but it "inspired rebellious ideology". Same reason why Billy Joel can never set foot onto Korean soil. XG is different...the direction i thought Korean music was going to head into but nope. I saw it all happen and I was a huge fan of the early Korean music.
Besides the girls there 3 more trainees that are important to the story the documentary tells. I'm not going spoil it but just be on the look out. Just because someone isn't part of thr final lineup don't overlook them.
There parents wanted them to do this I agree that some songs shouldn't be performed .but at least it's not like the Americans music industry .does worse things . So I feel japanese music industry is not doing bad things like the American industry . that's my opinion
Imo a parent's sign off isn't everything. There are plenty of parents that make their kids do unsavory things, not saying that this was anything like that though. Also imo the Japanese entertainment industry is can be just as bad as America's or any others. There have been cases of minor idols/models being forced to do gravure shoots for example. Because it's a way for them to become popular. Ofc not all of the industry is like that.
These dances were done in private years ago for evaluation and are only meant to showcase dancing ability / skills. Not anything freaky or weird going on. The only reason it’s being broadcasted now is because the documentary is raw / transparent. Showing how the idol industry works and the intensive training they have to go through.

Once you watch this, be prepared to be very protective of them❤ Unnie Brandi!
Oh, you're reacting to the documentary already. Alphaz on the deck.

You will see why with this Documentary.
ALPHAZ love him and you might even get to meet him in person and take pic with him at the concerts.

I think you missed the first series "EP-XX". You may check it out too 😊
Really 😭 I got y’all on Friday night.
❤❤❤❤❤ love it
Es muy dificil ver a las chicas llorar. yo ya vi el documenta por 3 veces y todas las veces he llorado.
I thought the same thing about the choice of music for them being so young.
you are real alphz
Once you finish the whole 8ep. of this documentary you'll become a certified alpha lol

Also you missed the 1st episode of the XG Documentary. EP- XX.
It comes before EP 1
Really 😭 I got y’all on Friday night.
Yeah me too, choreo and song choice made me uncomfortable ngl. Especially the choreo for 10 year olds to 19 was a bit too much for me.
Besides the girls there 3 more trainees that are important to the story the documentary tells. I'm not going spoil it but just be on the look out. Just because someone isn't part of thr final lineup don't overlook them.
One thing to remember, is most all of them,(besides a few), don’t speak English. So they probably have no idea what the song is about.
🐺👍💯🫶
