XG Unveils Fifth Single “WOKE UP”
HIP HOP / R&B girl group XG held their first world
tour, "XG 1st WORLD TOUR 'The first HOWL’", captivating
audiences at Osaka-Jo Hall with back-to-back sold out shows on May 18th and
19th. The performances showcased cover songs that are unique to the Japan
shows, reimagined versions of their tracks, and songs from their "XG
TAPE" rap content series alongside their "XG VOX" vocal content
series, crafting an impressive 22-song setlist.
In a mesmerising display of talent and nostalgia, XGALX's chief producer, JAKOPS (Simon Junho Park), took center stage during the DJ segment. Against a backdrop of footage chronicling the 7-member girl group’s evolution from trainee days to the present, JAKOPS enchanted the audience with a blend of R&B classics and Japanese favourites. As the concert reached its crescendo, XG surprised fans with a double encore, unveiling their new single “WOKE UP” for the very first time. The concert, spanning about two exhilarating hours, was met with enthusiastic cheers from the crowd until the very end.
