The moves behind the buzz: XG drops “GALA” practice video

Just two weeks after setting YouTube ablaze with the official music video for “GALA”, global girl group XG is back — this time with the highly anticipated Dance Practice Video. Fans across the world had been asking for it, and XG have delivered: a stripped-back yet electrifying showcase of raw skill, precision, and charisma.

“GALA” dropped on 19 September as the lead single from the group’s upcoming 1st full album, and its impact has been immediate. The single continues to climb global charts, hitting #3 on Billboard’s Global Japan Songs (excl. Japan), topping the charts in Brazil and the U.S., and placing in the Top 5 across SEA markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It also secured XG’s first-ever entry on the Billboard U.S. Dance Digital Song Sales chart (#10), cementing their global breakthrough.

Now, the Dance Practice Video peels back the runway lights to reveal the powerhouse performance at the core of “GALA”. The choreography, blending mannequin-like freezes, vogue-inspired moves, and standout moments like COCONA’s breakdancing and HARVEY’s acrobatics, highlights each member’s individuality while doubling down on their collective precision. The energy is unfiltered, the chemistry undeniable — and the result is a practice-room performance that feels every bit as captivating as the MV.

Fresh off festival appearances in Beijing and with major stages lined up across Luzhou, Saitama, Makuhari, Shanghai, and Hong Kong this October, XG continue to prove that “GALA” isn’t just a single — it’s a statement of intent. With every stage, chart, and video, the group raises the bar for what global girl groups can do.

With “GALA” still storming playlists and trending across platforms, this new Dance Practice Video gives fans the ultimate encore: proof that whether under the stage lights or in the rehearsal room, XG deliver performances that are bold, flawless, and unforgettable.
