Hello. XGALX's representative and "XG" general producer Simon (JAKOPS).

Once again, we would like to thank the company staff, many staff members, related parties, and fans who have been waiting for us, who have always worked hard for 'XG'. There are some differences between the facts and the contents, so I will tell you a few things in order to help you grasp the facts even a little.

Furthermore, as a representative, I feel a sense of responsibility to those who felt inconvenienced by the fact that we were unable to quickly explain our missteps, and to the staff and fans who have been doing their best for XG.

1. First of all, our 'XG' management office is XGALX.

Our company XGALX, which started in 2017, means a combination of XX, which means female chromosomes, and GAL, which means a nice woman. We look at the earth from the perspective of the X Galaxy, and are not bound by a specific nation or culture. An enterprising entertainment company that focuses on content that respects cultural diversity and relativity. 'XG (Extraordinary Girls)', which debuted in March 2022, is our first artist group.

2.Are you a K-POP group? Are you a J-POP group? to the question for

Born in the United States and raised as a Japanese-Korean half, based on the activities and experiences of two artists and producers in the K-POP scene, he cultivated and produced "XG" in Korea and Japan in a new way, and in the process, Korea, Japan, and the United States. China and other multinational staff are participating in our projects. All of the 'XG' artists are Japanese, but what is certain is that we want to show 'XG' music and performances to as many people as possible around the world without being bound by prejudices and attitudes towards regions, languages, etc. It may seem strange because the team had no existing examples. From now on, we will work harder to show the colors and diversity of XG and convey the essence. We will continue to cherish our activities in Korea and become an artist and company that can have a positive impact on the global POP scene, including Korea.

3. Many people ask me why I don't use Korean lyrics while promoting in Korea.

Over the past few years, the Korean cultural industry will not only continue to grow into a global market, but it will also become a large, fierce, and high-quality market worldwide. As someone who has been directly involved in the project for several years and thinks that it has helped, I have been preparing fiercely for policy and music activities in such a competitive Korean market since 2017 when I started production. The most important part related to language is that we want to present XG's music in the global market, so we will base our music on English, which is the most common language in the world. conveying a message. In various contents, we are communicating with fans in Korean songs and Korean, and we are preparing contents to approach fans not only in English but also in various languages including Korean.

We, XGALX employees, respect diverse nations and cultures regardless of nationality, and will gather strength and support with courage so that we can show the world our own music, colors, and content. Thank you for your support. I would like to correct the fact that there is a strategy of using a specific target as a role model or not being aware of it as a competitor, and trying to use the branding of a specific company, as in the recent bad rumors. am.

I would like to have a positive influence on the public and culture around the world with the slogan 'Create Bold Cultures!'

Lastly, our 'XG' is an artist who truly loves music based on cultural diversity and global sensibility. In fact, I have traveled to Korea many times since I was a trainee, and I still live in Korea, learning a lot about Korean music and culture, and I love it. We want to be active as a global Asian hip-hop girl group, so please continue to give us lots of love and encouragement. Thank you very much.
