XG have dropped the main visual for their upcoming first full-length album “THE CORE,” due out on Friday, January 23 — and the impact is immediate.
Set against a cold, inorganic vision of the future, the image shows the members standing still in pure white and soft pastel outfits. The stark contrast sharpens the album’s core ideas, visually translating themes of inner essence, magnetic allure, and hypnotic pull.
The reveal also confirms the album’s full 10-track lineup, with “HYPNOTIZE” named as the lead single. Built on a dreamy house groove and a pulsating piano line, the track captures the moment of stealing a heart with a single glance. With its intense charisma and forward-thinking sound, “HYPNOTIZE” signals the next step in XG’s ever-evolving world of “X-POP.”

XG’s first full-length album “THE CORE – 核” lands as a bold declaration—one that carves out the group’s deepest essence. Stripping away trends and surface-level polish, the project zeroes in on the fundamentals of music and presence.
Moving freely across genres, the album traces a journey that connects eras and dimensions. Yet at the heart of every shift lies something unshakable: XG’s unmistakable identity and raw, self-generated energy.
More than just a release, “THE CORE – 核” stands as a manifesto for XG’s self-defined genre, X-POP. Guided by the belief that truly good music holds value on its own, the album reaches beyond time, place, and era to present a genuine musical voyage.
At once a clear snapshot of who XG are right now and a powerful starting line for what lies ahead, “THE CORE – 核” signals the beginning of limitless possibilities.
