XG appeared worldwide as a new entity (X-GENE) through their 1st Mini Album ‘NEW DNA’, starting XG’s original worldview.
Now, we are trying to be closer to the world through the means of communication of music.
When a new entity appears, people feel fear and curiosity, and in accepting it, they experience a psychological process called “awe.”
XG’s 2nd Mini Album brings such “awe” and also provides a special experience to accompany XG’s music in everyday life.
