Female Star’s Bold Move Sparks Global Buzz in New Comeback Teaser

Becoming a K-Pop idol requires one to possess a complete set of skills, and appearance plays a significant role in it. Every time a female idol makes a comeback or starts a new project, careful consideration is given to their hair as it becomes a defining aspect of their image.

Similarly, the Japanese group XG follows this trend. From their debut, the members have not only expressed their unique personalities through their fashion choices, but also fearlessly pushed artistic boundaries.
