*I hope you'll read my long comment* 23:35... Amy Janet Harvey, that's her full name. But as Amy and BTS fandom Army sounds the same in Korean pronunciation, she took Harvey as her stage name is But Alphaz and members and staffs call her Amy 25:30...yes, as Japanese ruled Korea in the past, many Koreans hate Japanese. But younger generation is more open to it, though still some may hate Japan. So promoting a total Japanese girl group singing in english in Korea is a extremely hard challenge. XG didn't get pass for any music show performance for Tippy Toes, they started music show performances from Mascara. But those songs weren't very popular. And with Shooting Star and Left Right they blew up. Also they never made a song totally themed on love, that is the most typical theme for kpop groups. They always made songs about women empowerment. And with their first mini album and GRL GVNG, they started their Alien Lore 27:08... when you start reacting to their behind the scenes videos, you'll see how close they are. I'll say after JYP, only Simon has such good relationship with the members. Though JYP is notorious for putting twice members in extreme diet, Simon never did that, you can see from the members physique if you compare them with other female, even male kpop idols, they're much healthier. That makes me so happy 😊😊 39:40... I think it's both way, she's young so she wouldn't think the way Simon thinks and maybe she also understands that she has to improve more 40:52... she's in Kepler. During the training period of XGALX she participated in girls planet (survival show to form Kepler) and got through. XG and Hikaru are still close and she shoots TH-cam challenges of XG songs with the members 45:10...if you keep gap between the Xtra Xtra series, you'll lose track of it. You won't be able to connect the episodes. So go for some other content after completing this. It's just my opinion, you're free to do what you want I think they're supposed to debut in 2021, but due to the Covid situation it got pushed back to 2022 *I hope you've read my whole comment.* I discovered them after mascara, it's still my favourite xg song, though it's not popular (as if I care😅). I'm glad I came across them just before their turning point (Shooting Star and Left Right) and I'm proud of them
These are truly different girls, XG is truly different, this is the group that rose up by real ability without much promotion, the fact that they don't claim to be KPOP is also partly understandable because we rarely see them on Korean TV, in Korea there are many people who don't support XG simply because they are Japanese, plus XG's strange and different style, it makes people in Korea feel disliked because the IDOL standards in Korea are very strict, but they have the ability to affirm that they are the strongest group in the world at the present time, the investment in MV, the thinking of making XG's music is on a different level, they have girls who rap with a strong American hiphop style, they have vocals, all their songs are in English, their efforts in tears prove it, XG's music is very different and impressive, CHARLIE PUTH praised XG's LEFT RIGHT and played their song again on his video, the song XG's also been wished by artists besides singing at COACHELLA - the world's largest music festival and the dream of many artists and music groups, XG has done it, they have been on the COACHELLA 2025 list and this is their worthy achievement, they don't have many places to perform in Korea but they have many places to perform internationally and XG's international fans are very large, they have had their 2nd global tour just 2 years after their debut, they have toured all over Asia, the states of North America, and now the European tour in England, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and soon they will fly to Australia to continue their tour, XG has a place in the world and it is clear that XG's music is very suitable for the world, I don't see anyone rapping better than them as a group, they have FLOW, DELIVERY, rap all in English, listening to XG's music I don't want to listen to any other group anymore, XG is more than enough
I love this DOCUMENTARY SERIES. Our Xtraordinary Girls have evolved into Amazing International Performers. The journey though was tough and eye opening. I’m so proud of each member. Simon “Jakops” is a visionary genius. The XGALX Production Team is extremely diverse but driven to excel. Thank you for reacting to this journey of XG’s. 🐺💫🐺💫
The first 3 episodes are filmed more like a survival show but from 4+ is where there’s a shift and it starts to get really good. There were actually hundreds of girls that auditioned through AVEX Artist Academy (some XG members trained at this school) for the X-Galaxy program and was eventually narrowed down to the 21 you saw here.
You’re really locked making sure you catch everything. I love it! This documentary is so eye opening into the world of XG. They become more than just artists to me after the documentary. Can’t wait to watch it with you!
It’s later. But when you finish the doc. I always recommend people watch the extra hitc ny and la episodes. Those two really for me complete that first cycle of xg journey and show where this doc is taking them.
Yes! Agree! Jurin crying after the HITC performance hits really hard after you watch the docu series.... Lets get ready, because we will experience the same next year in Coachella! Awoooooh! 🐺🚀
Actually, Xtra Xtra has a lot of serious and tough scenes😢 But I believe that era became girls' foundation as an artist who being active on the world stage.
So happy you are on this journey. You are picking up all the key points also. You get it!! And truly understand what they are up against. 🐺🐺Alphaz on deck🙌🏾🙌🏾
It probably already has been recomended but it would be great if you could react to XG Days. These are the offcial vlog type of videos while they are on tour. There is backstage footage, them sightseeing, eating (way to many delicious food) and other things. XG Days are really wholesome and fun and show very well how close the girls are with each other.
New to channel loving the reacts so far. If you haven't I do recommend GDragon and bigbang (both the group stuff n solo) they always pulled alot attention from the kpop community when they dropped something.
One of the top girl, Hikaru, was asked to leave. They asked her to take part in Girls Planet 999. Now she's in Kep1er. I have asked you to react to them.
Hikaru is a wonderful example of XGALX’s ability to hone talents. She’s the best dancer, rapper, and stage presence in Kep1er. The girls are all still very close. I love when they reunite in dance challenges.
For real. Kids then are always emotional realizing their dream path. So feedback is seen a lot with tears. But in my viewing experience, I always have in mind the girls and their surroundings, that firm support circle of peers. So cry -> next time continue the grit. Just like the moment of the intentional dropping rank news 03 rank girl tearing, she’ll push through the next day and so forth. Appreciate all your thoughts and consideration as you share your viewing experience with us
Simon’s also so cool for holding on to every girl for ~1yrs b4 closing the audition phase. 21 girls to like 15 going to Korea camp = pass 1st lvl audition. I never knew auditions periods could be maintained this long until I seen XGALX. The regiment was supervised all the time by many staff and trainers so Simon and his crew could as accurately as possible note down every (XG fitting) characteristic and personality about the auditioned girls
wow that got intense real quick. this is why i hate watching documentaries. i hate seeing all the cries and hearthaches😭 i guess it’s the feeling of getting demoted, when you’re really passionate about something, and then you’re faced with rejection, it can be or its especially tough for kids like them because they think so straightforwardly and haven’t really experienced tough criticism before. plus kids are usually treated nicely thats why you gotta sugarcoat the things you say
please react to XG - CHISA - I’ll Never Love Again - The First Howl in Paris - Fancam, i think this is the best cover she did so far and she was even sick at this time and couldn't finish the rest of the show (Kaylawmochi) have the best video for it Edit: XG - CHISA - Never Enough - The First Howl in Brussels - Fancam this one too is amazing
PLEASSEEEE LISTEN TO CHISA COVER NEVER ENOUGH AND ILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN it’s her live performance for XG tour also check out Juria Hello cover. These covers actually made me ascend and never enough made me cry.
They went from 100's down to ten, and then 3 of the final team were actually kicked out but the practice all night and asked for a second chance. The other contenders vote to give them another chance. These girls trained for 5 years
If they were a bunch of American kid 90% or more would have quit, but for these Japanese kid, quitting would bring dishonor to their family's. However if they hang in there and are sent home it's not the same
Dope. The thing this doc does is make you legit adopt them. Everything they do later makes u more proud and invested watching where they came from.
*I hope you'll read my long comment*

最初に聴かせたdemoがMASCHERAかTippy toesじゃないかと予想したり、全員日本人のグループが韓国で活動していくことの難しさを推測したり、ZukikruegerさんのXGとゆうグループとサイモンさんへの理解が本当に素晴らしい
You instincts are 100% accurate with what you were saying...you are 🔥 with the reaction and understand everything they are going through.
The first 3 episodes are filmed more like a survival show but from 4+ is where there’s a shift and it starts to get really good.
There were actually hundreds of girls that auditioned through AVEX Artist Academy (some XG members trained at this school) for the X-Galaxy program and was eventually narrowed down to the 21 you saw here.

It’s later. But when you finish the doc. I always recommend people watch the extra hitc ny and la episodes. Those two really for me complete that first cycle of xg journey and show where this doc is taking them.
THIS 💯 PERCENT!!! Those really shows that XG is just getting started.
Yes! Agree! Jurin crying after the HITC performance hits really hard after you watch the docu series.... Lets get ready, because we will experience the same next year in Coachella! Awoooooh! 🐺🚀
"Anything is possible if you put your mind into it", you'll love Simon, how much he put into this project is mindblowing
Actually, Xtra Xtra has a lot of serious and tough scenes😢
But I believe that era became girls' foundation as an artist who being active on the world stage.
Cocona and Maya were both 11 years old when XGALX first interviewed them. Juria was 12.
FINALLYYYYY! Really enjoyed this reaction today as well! Thanks, Zuki!
Simon was a Kpop star himself so he knows all the ins and outs of the industry and the fans
Another great reaction! I love this documentary
so happy you are watching these! and also i'm happy to rewatch the videos too
XG is just different.
They are a different animal, literally.
XG are Alien Space Wolves.
So happy you are on this journey. You are picking up all the key points also. You get it!! And truly understand what they are up against. 🐺🐺Alphaz on deck🙌🏾🙌🏾

Keep it up fam we're lovin these reactions! W 💯
You're spot on with your perspective. Love your reactions!
New to channel loving the reacts so far. If you haven't I do recommend GDragon and bigbang (both the group stuff n solo) they always pulled alot attention from the kpop community when they dropped something.
One of the top girl, Hikaru, was asked to leave. They asked her to take part in Girls Planet 999. Now she's in Kep1er. I have asked you to react to them.
Dude she isn’t that great and Kep1er kinda sucks. This obsession with her isn’t warranted 😂😂
Hikaru is a wonderful example of XGALX’s ability to hone talents. She’s the best dancer, rapper, and stage presence in Kep1er. The girls are all still very close. I love when they reunite in dance challenges.

Glad you are starting this!
please react to XG - CHISA - I’ll Never Love Again - The First Howl in Paris - Fancam, i think this is the best cover she did so far and she was even sick at this time and couldn't finish the rest of the show (Kaylawmochi) have the best video for it
Edit: XG - CHISA - Never Enough - The First Howl in Brussels - Fancam this one too is amazing
Amy Janet Harvey - Harvey's fool name, that's why Amy.
*full
Yeees the documentary !!!
PLEASSEEEE LISTEN TO CHISA COVER NEVER ENOUGH AND ILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN it’s her live performance for XG tour also check out Juria Hello cover. These covers actually made me ascend and never enough made me cry.
I really don't like rewatching Xtra Xtra Docu because of the heartbreaks and tears :).
They went from 100's down to ten, and then 3 of the final team were actually kicked out but the practice all night and asked for a second chance. The other contenders vote to give them another chance. These girls trained for 5 years
The girl crying didn't do anything wrong, Simon said it right, but don't forget their age, all she heard was "You'll be dropped" that's all, I think
aaahhh damn! i know now why harvey looks familiar..... she kinda resembles jayla hahahahaha
You will realise Cocona and Maya are both 10 or 11 yrs old when they auditioned and ask, what was I doing when I was 11? 😂
If they were a bunch of American kid 90% or more would have quit, but for these Japanese kid, quitting would bring dishonor to their family's. However if they hang in there and are sent home it's not the same
The first Xypher Cocona and Maya were just 16 years old. Maya is 2 months older than Coco
