You are so right awards are crap .I feel XG is not getting recognized by even the Korean music industry but XG doesn't need none of that they are taking over the world 🌎 period
I can’t see them being recognized by the Korean industry unless there are big changes since they are under a Japanese label. I do hope they get more international recognition though they are so talented and it will be great when they get the exposure they deserve.
They JUST had their first interview on a Korean show for “Howling” so maybe there’s hope but I don’t see it happened anytime soon. Quality fans over quantity anyway 🤷🏽♀️ 😂
Yeah, that’s why it makes me mad when people say they’re kpop or “kpop adjacent”. The Korean pop industry has done little to nothing for them. The only good things was the do rooms and Simon(🐺
XG is evolving at a rate that's hard to keep up with. You blink and they come back with some next level shit. Nobody is touching these girls, bro. They're just elite.
There are a ton of Michael Jackson references - even some hidden ones. Not only Thriller, moonwalk, Dangerous, and some Earth Song similarities, but the sound effect going into the first verse is lifted from the start of The Way You Make Me Feel.
I listened to the making of thriller he other day and I realized the whole production is a feint version of it. The bass in howling is very similar to the syncopated groove in thriller. And they both have the loud in your face horror lead sound. Thriller also has a howl in the chorus, but much quicker one.
@@NikkiGTA416also writers from woke up, korean hip hop group members from Year Of The Ox, you should check them out, they are good, will help you appreciate what the bring to the writing team
Left Right popped up on my YT when it came out and it’s been a wrap for me ever since lol. Saw them in NYC in October, they are so polished on stage, it’s crazy.
A glimmer of hope on the awards front is that they just announced they'll be performing at the MTV VMAJ (Japan) awards. Hoping they get some nominations there if they're not already out
XGALX, a subsidiary of AVEX, and it's a Japanese company. They were trained in Korea and are headquartered there, which is where some of the confusion about them being K-Pop comes from.
MV was inspired by Princess Mononoke! (Japanese Anime film) Even the wolf outfits. 🐺 There are scenes from the movie incorporated in the MV. Like at 1:19 that happens in the Ghibli film.
They just finished their American part of their world tour. Most every show was sold out. They are gaining ground here. I found them just by being in that K-pop arena of music. They for sure are the best doing it right now and it's really not even a close race.
I went to their concert in Atlanta. It was so good. My first concert of this type... because they're that good. They're so talented. So much work has been put into their development. They're just gonna keep evolving. They've set the bar for their ownselves. They got big shoes to fill!
I was there too with my bestie!! She had green LED cat ear headphones on and we were stage right haha. It was SUCH a good concert, and the crowd was so good.
yeah awards in the east are weird and they are not really recognized by Korean media being a full Japanese group singing in only English so far. THEY DESERVE MORE
U have to watch GRL GVNG mv and HESONOO & X-GENE mv!!!!!!!! Also. The mv of GRL GVNG is only half the song because of budget restrictions (it was insane!!!). The full version is also available on the xg channel(dance practice)
Their documentary series called XTRA XTRA is on their channel. Other reactors posted it on TH-cam. I highly recommend watching it for better knowledge and appreciation of the members and the XG Project.
For me it's easy coz I'm from South East Asia. K-Pop is big to most Asian countries. Personally I found them through TH-cam. I honestly love all of their songs.
Another great reaction from you guys, thank you! XG is a very unique group and I love the references they make as well as symbolism, nothing out of ordinary 🤩 My fav track from their new mini album is "In The Rain" - very RnB, my fav genre, would love to see y'all reaction! Will stay tuned for it!
They haven't won the last two Korean music award live shows despite being probably the best song and choreo on the show. The shows also go by sales and youtube views...which they are not meeting compared to the other Kpop groups because they are Kpop adjacent and still not AS popular in Korea. They are gaining traction however as well as Japan this time.
They didn’t win because those shows are hard on Korean groups so they definitely aren’t going to let a Japanese based international group win no matter how talented even if we know they deserve it they are fighting against an established and biased industry.
XG is a young group still i think it took Black Pink 8 or 9 years to become big and a household name this is XG'S 3 year so they still crawling I love XG ❤ Alphaz ✌️ on deck XG for life XG world domination 🌏🔥👸🧚♂️🐺👽👌👍✌️
The thing is though the fandom ALHPAZ behind XG in the USA are huge like the fan size is crazy huge but yet, Good ole Music labels don't want to make these Groups become super big. Their still categorized into Kpop or Asian Groups on Music Award Shows, (which are useless in my opinion - its so divided) Blackpink were getting recognition and grew but again they never really in my opinion blew them up to be major. These girls DEFINITELY deserve that. But this also is coming from someone in Australia who observers a bit. IDK
Record Label(s): Avez, XGALZX Produced by Simon (aka JAKOPS (야콥)), & Avex Trax Debut: 2022 XG Awards: 2022 (1): MTV VMA Japan - Rising Stae 2023 (3): K-Star MVA - Next Star: Women; Premo Annual K4US - Debut of the Year; Mubeat Awards - Promising Idol They are WILDLY underrated!
On the MJ subject-- it's tough to hear in the music video, but when they perform it live you can hear that the backing track stacks a male voice in during the "dangerous" chorus. It's not Michael, but it seems like an intentional nod to him.
ALPHAZ 🐺 on deck. XG DON'T MISS! Enjoyed your reactions. XG can transform themselves into different forms. Visuals expands the atmosphere of the song and creates an immersive feeling draws the audience into a wild world. The music video depicts XG coming from outer space,🌌 tearing apart a standardized city where everything is controlled in the same way, transforming it into it own nature, and gradually expanding its power. The work strongly expresses the group strong unity, like a pack of wolves, and their will to change the existing order and world in their own way. XG inspired by Michael Jackson. XG included Michael Jackson References. Moonwalk, Thriller, Close to Midnight, and Dangerous, in their lyrics. Some MJ's Visuals. "Earth Song" Visuals and Caption EO "We Are Here To Change The World," Visuals. [XG VOX] Chisa, sang Michael Jackson's "Rock With You." XG can transform themselves into different forms. Juria, a Goddess with Wings. "Howling" Juria, Goddess with Wings. "WOKE UP" Juria, Wolf Goddess with Wings. "IYKYK" Juria, an Avatar with Wings. "GRL GVNG" Juria, with Wings. "MASCARA" Juria, with Wings. 👸🏼
Turning on the captions will definitely help you! If it just says, "English" then it's fine but if it says, "English (auto-generated)" then it's bad because that's just the terrible AI trying to make the subtitles from what it hears in the video and it barely works well. However, XG always upload their music videos with proper/professional subtitles. There is very little XG content that isn't properly subbed. This goes for most K-pop or Asian Pop videos nowadays btw! Most of them are posted with proper subtitles now. Also, the documentary is free on their TH-cam channel and other youtubers have uploaded it without issues but that's not me pressuring you to stream it or anything. I do think it'd be good to watch just to see how hard these girls worked to be here today. It's very eye opening into just how grueling the process was but also perfectly showcases WHY they are able to be at the top of their game only 2 and a half years into their careers. And as far as I know, XG hasn't won any significant awards just yet but I know that'll change in the future. It's just about waiting for the rest of the world to catch up at this point.
I like to watch random music vids on YT and they came up recommended with Woke Up and it’s been a wrap for me since - I am a fan! I’m an elder millennial white “girl” who came up with the style of music they reference/ lean into. 😊
Why are you guys guessing what she said? THERE ARE SUBTITLES Don't confuse auto generated subtitles with the official ones made by themselves for their own videos.
@@jasmineharris9545 to be clear, our reactions are not bar for bar breakdowns. there are channels out there that analyze lyrics and breakdown bars. we like to just react to the song as a whole, if something stands out we’ll point it out. but we’re really just reacting to the overall production. we are entertaining the idea of revisiting tracks to breakdown bars but we’ll see
The fact that the Grammy's straight up ignores artists like xg takes away their legitimacy to me (among the many other people they ignore). It's not even about diversity, it's about people putting out genuinely impressive art, they don't actually reward genuinely impressive art.
Almost every reactor probably has some kind of allergy to official captions, otherwise I don't understand why they're not using it & keep guessing the lyrics🤣
they all are too mucho 4 a crappy award, the award is your support like a creators, giving to people more views and fans! Awards are cappin couple of years ago
@@CONLEYMUSICIf the captions are available as 'auto-generated', then they are not right. Otherwise, you can trust them. Keep that in mind for future reactions.
XG has won the 'Rising Star Award', an award given to up and coming artists, at the MTV VMAJ 2022.
It was also announce yesterday that they will be performing at the MTV VMAJ 2025 on March 19th. Their could be some nominees for that show.
That’s lit they’re really awesome and deserve it
Are you lying or what, there is no news from Xg group about what you said, also where did you hear about this؟؟ @@Sabo3081
Also the Next Star Award in Korea
You are so right awards are crap .I feel XG is not getting recognized by even the Korean music industry but XG doesn't need none of that they are taking over the world 🌎 period
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Korea doesn't deserve this level of awesomeness

XG's record labels are XGALX, Avex Trax, and Avex Group. Avex is one of the biggest in Japan.

Well said
There are a ton of Michael Jackson references - even some hidden ones. Not only Thriller, moonwalk, Dangerous, and some Earth Song similarities, but the sound effect going into the first verse is lifted from the start of The Way You Make Me Feel.
Oh wow I didn't even peep the sound effect. That's a great catch
I listened to the making of thriller he other day and I realized the whole production is a feint version of it. The bass in howling is very similar to the syncopated groove in thriller. And they both have the loud in your face horror lead sound. Thriller also has a howl in the chorus, but much quicker one.
turn on the captions and watch the video again, whoever are the writers they did a damn good job with the lyrics
Chancellor and Simon are the main writers for this. Same with Woke Up and others
@@NikkiGTA416also writers from woke up, korean hip hop group members from Year Of The Ox, you should check them out, they are good, will help you appreciate what the bring to the writing team
Year of the Ox too!!
Their groups deserve more , they are so underrated.
Wow this is masterfully done. The visuals, rapping, and singing are all on point. XG is on another level
Left Right popped up on my YT when it came out and it’s been a wrap for me ever since lol. Saw them in NYC in October, they are so polished on stage, it’s crazy.
omg me too hahahhaha
There's an english subtitle for their MV's no need to guess the lyrics. Just turn it on man while watching the MV.
Xg is amazing bro
A glimmer of hope on the awards front is that they just announced they'll be performing at the MTV VMAJ (Japan) awards. Hoping they get some nominations there if they're not already out
Dangerous was the title of a Michael Jackson album from the early 90s
Yes, many reactors have missed this, that I've watched. The Wolfgang Puck (chef) with the food scheme Maya does...
The part where Cocona is in the storm during the howl is very similar to when MJ does it in Earth Song during the howl also

So dangerous, We so dangerous
My XGALX is dangerous
For me it's easy coz I'm from South East Asia. K-Pop is big to most Asian countries. Personally I found them through TH-cam.
I honestly love all of their songs.
Oh shit... the rhyme scheme for the chorus really matches that of Buster Rhymes Dangerous too!!!
DAMN!!!!

They signed with XGALX, and that’s the name of the ship 😅

If you watch Michael Jackson "Earth" you can see the influence they may have drawn from that as well.
Give them their flowers YESSSS BOYSSS

Interview XG sach zang show make them famous now so award is coming 2025
10:05 just a thought it might help you to put the CC on and you can read it while you’re listening 🤷🏻♀️
Xg always have great music video becausw their under Avex..even they are base in korea
Docuseries can be streamed, some Reactors get hit during the dance practices due to the music but some don't.
Please watch videos with closed captions they have english lyrics so you can follow along 😊
They had some music called the Cypher series maybe a couple years back, or 3? You could tell they were hungry ever since then.
I like to watch random music vids on YT and they came up recommended with Woke Up and it’s been a wrap for me since - I am a fan! I’m an elder millennial white “girl” who came up with the style of music they reference/ lean into. 😊
When they howl during the chorus, it reminds me of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant song”
I hope you just vibe to this for awhile
Need to watch left right, ciara even did a cover/feat on it
my guy on the left is in disbelief the entire video lmao
The world is sleeping on XG.
Why are you guys guessing what she said? THERE ARE SUBTITLES
Don't confuse auto generated subtitles with the official ones made by themselves for their own videos.
XG crosses to many genres. Will be hard for them to get linearly defined accolades. Their socials and sales are far more important imo.

you should reaction XG song Wimter without you. it shows vocal talent. make sure do the live version called First Take
Most awarding bodies are rigged.

turn on CC bro so you can fully understand the lyric
You guys should start reacting to bad ass kpop songs now for example, stray kids, Ateez, Taemin etc
turn on the subtitle next time😂
