I just realized, XG took 5 years of training before debut. That's like going through college....Man, props to these girls for handling all the stress! The journey has just started! And now you got the international audience's attention. This will be an exciting comeback! 1st Mini-album, here we go!

It's more than a college degree, plus they were sooo young to be doing something as intense and stressful as this. They did it away from their family and in a whole different country too. They had singing, dancing, rapping, even language lessons. You don't even do all that in college. They're amazinggg 😭
@ammmm_4803 Жыл бұрын
@@Angel-jh6zp 아이구..Comparing it to college is not belittling their experiences. There are college students who live in dormitories too which is equivalent of being away from their family. This is even more evident with foreign students, who could also be exchange students from another country. Singing, dancing, rapping lessons can be done as minor course in Art colleges focusing with degrees in Performing Arts. In college, everyone is up till the next morning. E.g. architectural students. It's a realistic comparison.

@@ammmm_4803 IMHO I think the trainees are more stressed, students are stressed during the study period ending with getting a diploma, which they can use to find work. trainees are under pressure during the training period {delete their social media accounts, maybe they also have to diet for training evaluation} and will not necessarily debut, in this episode 21 participants who debuted only 7 people, 14 participants left without certificates.

As an American, it’s wonderful to see how respectful and well mannered these young ladies are. Having watched recent, it’s so refreshing to see how those who made it are still polite…and they’re humble.
when maya said "i wanted to give it my all for those who did not get chosen" it was so heartwarming, as always, maya has the sunshine and hard work energy, for her and also for others
I love how raw this documentary is. I’ve seen other docs from the big 4, and it felt very artificial. This was straight to the point on how rigorous this training process is. It’s not for the feint of heart and you can see how this will mentally develop a lot of them to who they are today

That was tough to watch. The blood, sweat and tears these girls put in is just amazing. The motivation they have is on a another level. That’s why they’re performances are just different, it hits different. Just debuting last year, you’d think they’re veterans. Simon is a great mentor, producer and a great big brother to these girls.
욕실에서 같이 선글라스 끼고 찍은 사진을 sns에 올린 것을 지적하는 simon님이 처음에는 조금 지나치지 않나 하는 마음도 있었습니다만, 한 편으로는 연습생들이 도달해야 하는 데뷔라는 목표를 향해 좀 더 진지하게 노력했으면 하는 마음의 발로인 것으로 이해하고, 또 그 마음을 의심 없이 따라준 연습생들 그리고 simon님 양쪽 모두에게 감동했습니다.😮😂
It’s funny how a lot of haters think that they could hurt them while these girls went through THIS. Training prepared them for the industry. I hope they’ll stay strong, say all you want and it wouldn’t move them one bit
It’s nice seeing that someone wanted to make a girl group thats one of a kind and aimed to be global stars. I feel like most of the time when companies try to make a global group they try and go for boy groups first. It’s crazy how fast XG has gotten to the level they are now they don’t seem like a new group it’s nice to see.they have me playing their songs on a loop nonstop

Darn I feel so bad for the girls, they are so little... Also Simon voice breaking during his talk because he is so emotional toward this goal means the world to me. As a fan of Dalmatian (DMTN) since the beginning and a supporter of Simon since he joined (re joined) the group I'm so proud of what he has accomplish for himself and the girls. I just love how passionate he is toward this goal. It must have been so hard on Simon, being strict toward the girls because he is a puppy at heart.

Simon is right, a lot are dreaming to become an artist because of the glamour, praises, privileges and the stardom they could earn through it but the real challenge in being an idol or an artist in general is the capacity to withstand the dark side of the glamorous life of the Idol industry. And I think, XG are well geared up to break through any challenges and withstand the cruelty of the life they chose to walk on. I'm grateful to Simon for bravely taking up the role as the girls’ shield in this cruel idol life. Alphaz will also serve as XG's shield until whenever.
Now we know how intense the dance training they went through at a very young age! 😲 I will never see their stage choreos the same ever again... The amount of blood, sweat and tears these girls went through to debut is no joke... They needed these intense trainings to be who they are today... Our global girl group that is! 💕 I already love our girls so much... but with today's XTRA XTRA, I have gained so much admiration and respect for them! 🙇♀️ Congratulations to XG, Simon-san and XGALX! This episode 1 is 👏👏👏 Now we know why XG has 7 main dancers... 😎 All of XG's achievements tastes a lot sweeter for me now... 💐 P.S. It broke my heart seeing Chisa crying while catching her breath... 😢 To the 15/16 year old Chisa... YOU DID GREAT! 💛

This is so sweet. That's why XG is THE GROUP period. We all know that they kill it once they are the stage performing - but this is on another level. The amount of hardships, heartbreak, trials and tribulations that they went through at a very young age. XG is built tough - SIMON really put them to the grinder on this one. It's a testament on how diamonds are made, through sheer pressure. 7 Main Dancers, Elite Rapline, Magnificent Vox Line - all fantastic performers. And these girls have shown they will shine, and will continue shining on the years to come. From a non-KPOP listener, seeing all these made me respect these girls soooo much and SIMON too of course. This is just the tip of the iceberg on what these documentary is all about yet for a grown man, i have already teared up with the introduction and this. These line from TIPPY TOES hits different now - so much different. "We a pack, every part of HER is part of ME"

These ladies are a dream for any choreographer because they move so well together and individually. This group doesn't need thousands of backup dancers like most K-Pop groups do.
