Girl group XG (comprising Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya, and Cocona) has strengthened its status as a 'global group' by drawing approximately 55,000 spectators at their first World Tour stop in Japan.

According to their agency, XGLAX, XG kicked off their World Tour, "The first HOWL," with performances on May 18 and 19 in Osaka, followed by shows on May 25 and 26 in Yokohama, successfully concluding the first leg of their tour in Japan. At the Osaka concert, XG performed their new song "WOKE UP" as an encore, and in Yokohama, they elevated expectations by featuring "WOKE UP" as the opening number. Following this, XG delivered a series of impressive performances, including a band version of "SHOOTING STAR," using various innovative presentations that thrilled the audience, who responded with enthusiastic 'howling' as the tour name suggests.

XG recreated their rap content series, "XG TAPE," which had previously stirred up the global hip-hop scene, showcasing their exceptional rap skills and earning widespread acclaim. During the rap performance, the members made a special entrance through the audience, adding a unique touch to the show. Additionally, the vocal members performed exclusive covers of Japanese artists' songs, such as Utada Hikaru's "Flavor Of Life," ZARD's "Yureru Omoi," and Senel's "Believe," which were exclusively for this concert.

Performing a total of 22 songs over more than two hours, XG successfully opened their World Tour. They expressed their gratitude, saying, "We are so happy to be able to embark on the world tour that we have aimed for since our debut. We want to cherish this moment clearly. Let's go to the universe together." With the successful completion of their Japan performances, XG is set to tour globally, starting in Seoul on July 11, followed by stops in Taipei, Singapore, Manila, Bangkok, North America, and Europe, connecting with fans worldwide.

Meanwhile, tickets for XG's "The first HOWL" Seoul concert, scheduled for July 11, will be available for fan club pre-sale on May 28 through YES24, with general sales starting on May 30.
