The anticipation for XG's debut studio album has intensified with the unveiling of a new layer.
On November 6th, XG (comprising Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, Maya, and Cocona) revealed the official logo for their first full-length album, 'THE CORE - 核', via their official social media channels. The group has confirmed the album title as 'THE CORE - 核', with a comeback scheduled for January 23, 2026, aiming to excite their fanbase.
The unveiled logo for 'THE CORE - 核' features the bold and dynamic brushstroke of the character 核 (meaning 'core' or 'nucleus') alongside the English title, THE CORE, symbolizing XG's commitment to focusing on the essential value of music. Following the previous '核' spoiler post, the revelation of the album title has heightened expectations for XG's comeback.
XG's debut album 'THE CORE - 核' is a concentrated embodiment of the group's identity, focusing on the essence of music and existence beyond trends. It illustrates XG's musical journey, seamlessly traversing genres and connecting various eras and spaces.
With 'THE CORE - 核', XG aims to convey the belief that 'good music holds intrinsic value,' capturing the essence of the current generation of XG.
Previously, XG announced their second world tour titled 'XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE', set to kick off in Japan in February 2026, with planned stops across Asia, North America, the UK and Europe, Australia, and Latin America. XG's debut album 'THE CORE - 核' will be released on January 23, 2026.
