XG's Identity Evolution: The Japanese Girl Group Ditches 'Girls' for a More Profound Symbolism.
The septet known as Xtraordinary Girls, or simply XG, has finally decided it's time to redefine its moniker. After growing up and entering their 20s, the group is adopting a new name that better reflects their artistic and personal growth - "Xtraordinary Genes." The name change signifies a significant milestone in the group's journey, marking their transition from adolescence to adulthood.
In an official statement released on January 12, XG's team explained the reasoning behind this rebranding. They stated that the new name represents the innate creativity, individuality, and forward-thinking energy present within each member of the group. This name change is not merely a cosmetic update; it serves as a declaration of evolution - from their starting point to the driving force behind their artistry.
As fans eagerly await the release of XG's debut full-length album, "The Core," on January 23, they can now experience the "Xtraordinary Genes" era through the group's lead single, "Gala." Released in September, this track showcases the group's new direction and artistic vision. In a recent interview with Billboard Japan, executive producer JAKOPS (SIMON) emphasized that their goal is to create the greatest record in the world.
The seven members of XG have indeed grown at an astonishing pace, signaling the end of one season and the beginning of another. With this name change, they are redefining themselves as women who are committed to pushing boundaries without limits.

... xtraordinary genes its a bit too deep for me lol i mean idk what's next, gonna change their music style too? 
"gala" is fire tho 
anyway, gotta respect them takin the leap 
. It's like, your name shouldn't limit you - it should reflect the person you're becoming 
. This name change is about celebrating individuality & creativity, and I'm all for that 
. Its not just about looking good on social media, its about being true to yourself & taking risks 
. The fact that they're making this statement now shows how confident & self-assured they've become - it's a beautiful thing to see 
.
, it's crazy how fast they're growin' up! I mean, they were just a bunch of cuties called XG and now they're Xtraordinary Genes? 
It's like, wow, they've got some serious skills and individuality goin' on. I love the new name, it's so much more profound than just "Girls" 
. And that debut album, "The Core", can't come soon enough! 
I'm all about that JAKOPS (SIMON) energy 
, he's gonna make some magic happen, for sure. It's like they're sayin', "We're not just a group, we're a movement!" 
... hope they're still making music that speaks to people... not sure if the new direction is gonna be good or bad, but I'm hyped to find out 
, but at the same time i get it, they're growin up and all that jazz 
, and "Xtraordinary Genes" sounds kinda deep and all that 
!
They're evolving into a whole new vibe and I'm all for it. The name change from "Xtraordinary Girls" to "Xtraordinary Genes" makes total sense - it's like they're embracing their unique DNA and unleashing their full potential 
. Bring on the Xtraordinary Genes era!
But what I want to know is... do you guys think the name change is just a marketing ploy or does it really reflect their artistic growth? 
"Xtraordinary Genes" is just a fancy way of saying "they're getting old" 
. And don't even get me started on their lead single "Gala" - it's just another generic pop song that doesn't even scratch the surface of what real music should be 
.
!
? plus, what's with all the drama around the word "girls"? cant we just stick to whats real? 
what's with all these name changes in K-pop?! They're like, already trying to be grown adults but still wanna reinvent themselves every 5 seconds... idk, i guess it's cool if its a symbol of growth or whatever but can we just stick with one name for once?! 
i love how they're evolving as a group and taking control of their own destiny. it's so inspiring! 
It's not just about changing their name, its about embracing who they've become as artists & women
