It's not completely unheard of for company executives and idols to market themselves as "not K-pop." This has happened before, but the optics weren't as bad because they were Korean and not Japanese. In fact, idols don't often reference other companies, acts from other companies, or K-pop industry as a whole.
This time, the optics are bad because we have a Japanese CEO with an all-Japanese girl group promoting in Korea. I'm sure XG members are very respectful to everyone else in K-pop. I just hope that the CEO himself does more to show respect to the industry and Koreans.
The most impt thing is image and I want them to succeed. This will eventually come back to them if they dont properly address it tbh. The knetz isnt hard to please, they just want that form of cultural respect and acknowledgement that’s all.
They just aren’t a kpop group heck I found out they weren’t JPOP either they are an international gg
They mentioned in their interviews they were influenced by hiphop and r&b but it seems like they are avoiding being influenced by kpop. Global gg is fine as long as acknowledging the kpop roots as well since kpop is their platform rn for promoting.
And this is one of the reasons why Xg is always in controversy in Korea and rightfully so. Simon/xgalx and Max matsuura/avex (no longer chairman) is to blame for the disregard and untrustworthiness Koreans have for them. The behavior of both of them is to be questioned as their intentions with xg is sort of obvious to those that aren’t 100% blinded by the glitz and glam that is xg while also knowing the shaky history between Korea and Japan. It’s just that Koreans saw through the bs before kpop fans but are now being labeled as racist (?) insecure xenophobes due to believing that both companies are opportunistic with kpop and the platform they have built for over a decade for xg to even be able to thrive.

He’s shady and tbh I really think xg is talented and could have blown up more.
Actually I think xg themselves do respect korea contrary to what most knetz think as I watched their fancams and their content. I just wished they addressed the kpop influence but I think its gotta do with their company image or ceo direction. Xg harvey & jurin are blinks. They covered kpop songs too.
What I think is the ceo not addressing it properly or the company itself.

not a fan and this is abt blinks & bp not their juniors
As a casual xg stan, this whole topic irks me. It’s like they are they are trying to disassociate themselves from kpop yet they are using the tools & platform that is based on kpop.
I get xpop meaning a normal pop group that isnt on kpop or jpop. Maybe just say pop group instead? But I just didn’t feel good abt how they keep emph they are influenced by hiphop or r&b (not wrong) mostly.
It seems like they want to omit the fact their concept is influenced by kpop as well.
What’s really hard to admit it? They are pissing koreans off for very good reasons.
It’s obv they are influenced by kpop - e.g. training system, choreography, using the popularised hip-hop and r&b into the music.
