Bingkai Karya – Just two weeks after setting YouTube ablaze with the official music video for “Gala,” global girl group XG is back this time with the highly anticipated dance practice video. Fans around the world had been asking for it, and XG has delivered: a stripped back yet electrifying showcase of raw skill, precision, and charisma.
Released on September 19 as the lead single from the group’s upcoming first full album, “Gala” has already made an immediate impact. The single continues to climb global charts, hitting #3 on Billboard’s Global Japan Songs (Excl. Japan), topping the charts in Brazil and the U.S., and placing in the Top 5 across Southeast Asian markets including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. It also secured XG’s first ever entry on the Billboard U.S. Dance Digital Song Sales Chart at #10, cementing their global breakthrough.
Now, the dance practice video peels back the runway lights to reveal the powerhouse performance at the core of “Gala.” The choreography blending mannequin like freezes, vogue inspired moves, and standout moments such as Cocona’s breakdancing and Harvey’s acrobatics highlights each member’s individuality while doubling down on their collective precision. The energy is unfiltered, the chemistry undeniable, and the result is a practice room performance that feels every bit as captivating as the MV.
Fresh off festival appearances in Beijing and with major stages lined up across Luzhou, Saitama, Makuhari, Shanghai, and Hong Kong this October, XG continue to prove that “Gala” isn’t just a single, it’s a statement of intent. With every stage, chart, and video, the group raises the bar for what global girl groups can achieve.
With “Gala” still storming playlists and trending across platforms, this new dance practice video gives fans the ultimate encore. Whether under the stage lights or in the rehearsal room, XG delivers performances that are bold, flawless, and unforgettable.
XG’s 1st Full Album
XG’s first ever full album is a declaration of the group’s core essence. Stripping away trends and embellishments, the record focuses on the heart of their music and identity.
The album moves freely across genres, weaving together different eras and spaces. At the center of all this transformation lies XG’s unshakable identity and energy. It is itself a declaration of the new genre XG has created X-pop. Built on the belief that “good music holds value on its own,” the album represents a musical journey that transcends time, space, and generations.
This body of work is the most candid reflection of XG today and a powerful starting point toward limitless future possibilities.
