""'Xtraordinary Genes' represents the innate creativity, individuality and forward-thinking energy embedded within each member of XG,""
""'More than a rebrand, the shift serves as a declaration of evolution - from their starting point to the source that drives their artistry - as the group continues shaping culture without boundaries.'""
XG retained the XG moniker but changed its meaning to 'Xtraordinary Genes' to mark a symbolic milestone as all seven members entered their 20s and to signal a new phase of artistic and personal growth. The new name emphasizes innate creativity, individuality and forward-thinking energy within each member and is presented as a declaration of evolution as the group shapes culture without boundaries. Member Cocona came out as transmasculine non-binary, disclosed having undergone top surgery earlier in 2025, and described self-acceptance as transformative. XG announced debut studio album The Core, set for release on 23 January and described as spanning genres and featuring X-POP.
