A RETIRED DANCER'S POV- XG Marathon Part 2: "Tippy Toes" M/V+Dance Practice

WTF DOES “OG KPOP STAN" EVEN MEAN?!⬇️
Supposedly "original gangster”, can be seen as “old generation", personally viewed as “old-school”.🤓 I’ve been into Korean music since 1998 when I was 15, and using “kpop stan” is more catchy (super cringe or not) than “person who’s listened to Korean music since 1998”, amirite or AMIRITE.😂 For a bit of dance background details, feel free to check out my "About" section!

[@lvrvisuals7800]

@@faygus9667 Alot of groups train for years and they dont come close dancing like XG. They already were dancers before debut so that makes it easier. Other groups typically only have a few dancers.

[@ARE_jr]

Great vocals, Rap, Choreo, catchy chorus and a message to other groups to step up their game since they were talkin talkin in their lyrics now that's a solid debut.

it's the fact that they didn't even need much to be so impactful. their charisma and talent are speaking for themselves!!!! they said "we didnt come to play, here to dominate" and that was NO LIE 🗣️ I'm stanning hard, they're really very special and are meant to shine

[@sjc4]

If they've been prepping for this debut since 2017, that means the girls have grown together since they were in their early to late teens and literally grew up as performers together. They've got great group chemistry already, and the level of difficulty for their debut means we've got some great stuff in store.

[@Lydia_Ranki]

So cocona was 12 when she began training?…

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@Lydia_Ranki That's nothing new. There are Ten-Year-Olds who start training. Twice leader Jihyo is one of those. Some idols and some Soloists have DEBUTED at 13 years old. Same thing happens in Ballet, lots of dancers start training as TODDLERS. Not even kidding.

They are 1000% stan-worthy. The complexity of that choreo is so topnotched!

[@allons_y1001]

This choreo is soooo detailed and insanely satisfying... and I've been obsessed with this song. The performance video is also reaaaally good!

[@coucoujoyce]

Sienna Lalau did the choreo with May J Lee, you can even watch a dance cover of this Song on Sienna’s KZbin Channel with 6 amazing dancers in the video. I loved the energy, they got the swag ✨✨

[@ChRisu_Ojisan]

I became a fan 15 seconds into the song. I thought i was being biased since I'm nikkei and i will always support japanese anything because of it but no. These girls are so crazy talented and beautiful.

[@ChRisu_Ojisan]

remember in korea they dont play japanese music on the radio.

[@Thyrwyn]

They killed it. Super strong debut. The formation/transitions were seamless. No weak links in the dance line, that's for sure! Hinata didn't get much attention in the MV, but she's killing it. The choreo and the song were perfect for their debut.

[@lukereyes9263]

THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE GIRL GROUP!!!! KPOP has to take notice of XG - They are developed to be a "global girl group"! -- Smart move to have their debut song in all English! I see very big things for XG!!!

[@overthemoo]

I just got done watching this MV. I was actually catching up with K-pop releases from the last month or so, but I randomly decided to click on their music video - I am flabbergasted. And I’m with you on auto-stanning. Like… how does one not? I never even heard of this group, which is why I think I went ahead and watched the MV. The thumbnail alone gave me expectations that I assumed would not be met. Alas, those expectations were FAR SURPASSED. How is this a debut? How do they even exist???

[@rablink7685]

I instantly staned them after seeing their attitude and their talent

[@codebrker24]

I will stan this group if they keep true to their concept. I believe that they just put all other Pop groups on notice.

[@tg10u67]

Jakops made his debut as a singer in Korea as the executive producer of XG, and has been engaged in Kpop as a producer and songwriter for over 13 years. His father is Korean and his mother is Japanese, he has Japanese nationality and was born in the United States. XG's song composition and group concept were all produced by him. Also, Jacobs mentioned that XG is an all-Japan girl group that was created as a collaboration project between Korea and Japan Avex. And if you watch XG's demo video, you can see the rooftop overlooking the Han River, the background of X Academy (YG below), and 1MILLION Dance Studio. It is known that they traveled back and forth between Korea and Japan to receive vocal and dance training. 'Tippy Toes' is a good song in English and I expect XG to do good as a global group.

[@stanpurplekiss8437]

[@samanthascarcella526]

YourFormOfTherapy pointed out that they have a level of cockiness most idols don’t have until they’ve been around for awhile. For rookie idols(yes I know they’re a global group and not kpop) their charisma and skills are UNMATCHED

[@NoxNovak]

The choreo and synch is quite insane....

[@ohyeahwhooyeah]

Lace em on tight 😎🔥- that dance practice was illegal

[@monstafloppa871]

I think the flowers at the end were a metaphor for them throwing flowers in the grave of their collective competition. That's my take anyway. Keeping the competition on their tippy toes.

[@tracisr]

This song and choreo and mv is so freaking fire I love it so much! I really hope we get to see them perform it live or something you guys know how yg keeps their artists hidden! I'd love to see a relay dance to this too but we know that won't happen! This is so fire it should be on American charts too if it isn't already I mean it is all English!

[@MrSuperjam789]

This group has nothing to do with YG, XGALX is a sub-label under Avex, a big Japanese label.

[@tracisr]

@@MrSuperjam789 i saw that its a collaboration of the two Avex and YG to form the label called XGALX so I was worried about the YG way of marketing Good to have clarification!

[@user-hp1jr9dw1l]

not collaborating with YG JAPAN. They are not part of YG. YG JAPAN and AVEX partnership is called YGEX and it is only for YG artists promotion in Japan. XG debut in AVEX not YGEX. The XG label is XGALX/AVEX JAPAN the person who created this group is a 2nd generation kpop group DMTN member JAKOPS Simon (Japanese and korean half/nationarity is japanese/a one time AVEX trainee)and he started this company of XGALX which is a subsidiary of avex japan.

[@tucco2097]

I thought it was interesting that Hinata didn’t have any vocal or rap parts, she’s strictly a dancer in this song. I’m curious if this will be the same going forward. I watch a lot of dance practices and they are along with probably Enhypen the best in kpop/jpop in my opinion. I also think Twice have super clean dance practices they just maybe aren’t as technical.

[@spooksboh6251]

the part that makes this pop out to me is that in jpop groups it's not unusual for members to be dancer-only... i wonder if they decided to incorporate this concept here or if it's simply a matter of unfair line distribution

[@purplejuri]

XG IS THE BEST

[@xryucosmo]

XG is a group that was created through systematic hard work through global projects for over 5 years. The group consists of Japanese members who practiced in Korea with the K-pop system and set global goals with English songs. XG Executive Producer Jakops (Junho Park) debuted as a singer in Korea and has been engaged in Kpop as a producer and composer for over 13 years. His father is Korean, his mother is Japanese, he is of Japanese nationality and was born in the United States. XG's song composition and group concept were all produced by him. The songs on 'Tippy Toess' are well thought out, addictive and stylish. It looks like an evolved version of Kpop. Making a song in English is an important point. In that sense, XG group will be a group that can receive enough stimulation for K-pop.

[@user-hp1jr9dw1l]

April 22, 2022, producer JAKOPS said on Instagram Live, "I've been working on the XG project for 4years and my base was mostly in Japan" They are under AVEX. they were training in Japan.‬  (They were training at「AVEX ARTIST ACADEMY HEAD OFFICE STUDIO」in JAPAN ＊XG video: (The Beginning ,The Journey) YGX appears momentarily, but most of it is a training scene at 「AVEX ARTIST ACADEMY HEAD OFFICE STUDIO」) The MV producer and choreographer are Korean and were shot in South Korea. The first video was uploaded in February 2022. Given that, they may have been in South Korea for preparation in 2021. I think Simon's four years mean either the four years from 2017 to 2021. The MV dance performance uses YGX, but YGX is a dance studio, so anyone can use.
