XG aka Xtraordinary Girls, that made a global splash on January 25 with their third single “SHOOTING STAR”, finally dropped their first documentary ‘XTRA XTRA EP X1′, which captures their five-year journey.
In ‘XTRA XTRA EP XX’, XG’s producer (SIMON) JAKOPS revealed that he had been working independently for about five years to discover, nurture, plan, manage and produce XG, starting with the establishment of the global entertainment production company XGALX. The group also expressed their desire to create a girl group that is neither K-Pop nor J-Pop.
In ‘XTRA XTRA EP X1′, the XG members look back on their trainee days. The story throws light on each member, such as JURIN, who at the time was a professional snowboarder, and HARVEY who was a model. The members talk about their motivation to join the XGALX project and to become artists.
In June 2018, twenty-one trainees stepped into XGALX’s dedicated studio. The documentary shows the excited girls all set to begin their new lives, before focusing on the hard training ahead, with Simon treating them as adults rather than children, often with harsh words.
The XG members JURIN, JURIA, MAYA, CHISA, HARVEY, HINATA and COCONA’s lives as trainees at XGALX begins and they start on the path to realizing their dreams. The video shows the very beginnings of XG and makes for compelling viewing.
At the end of the video, a short clip from the Korean training camp is shown as a preview of the next episode. The documentary ends with SIMON saying that the team ranked at the third place will be eliminated from the project.
