XG is not Kpop. Nice reaction 👍

Highly recommend XG Winter Without you.

XGGGGGGGGGG

Xg is Xpop (Their own category): Japanese girl group, based in Korea, Singing all published songs in English. (Tapes, Voxes, other materials they do Trilingually, English, Japanese, Korean). BTW, it is Hesonoo, not Henosoo. It means embilical chord, that all the girls are connected like that, that is why the choreo is blindfolded and closely interlinked. As far as Kpop, it all started back in 1992 with Seo Taiji and Boys. But it really got going about 1996 -97, after the Financial crises of the 4 tigers (Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, S Korea) affected their economies severely. The Korean Government established government agencies to help subsidize Korean Pop culture, because studies had shown in other countries, that with every $1 of Pop culture sold, $4 dollars of products (cars, TVs, electronics, etc.) were sold in export driven economies like Korean, and Japan. (think Anime, Sushi, Toyotas). So as far as Kpop generations, they usually last about 7 years in Kpop (most Group debut contracts are 7 years now.) So 1st generation was 1996 to 2003 (Shinwa, Fin K.L., H.O.T.) , 2nd generation roughly 2004 to 2012 (TVXQ, Big Bang, 2EN1, 2PM, Akiss, Sistar, KARA) , 3rd Generation 2013 - 2020 (BTS, EXO, Red Velvet, Blackpink, Twice, Stray Kids, Mamamoo, Got 7, NCT, etc.) and 4th Generation is 2021 - 2028 ( ITZY, G Idle, Treasure, TXT, Enhypen, Ive, Le Sserafim, NMixx, Kiss of Life) and every other group that has debuted in the last 2 - 3 years.) Those who say some group is 5th generation are newbies raised on the attention span of Tiktok, and trying to define a new period.
