Following the reveal of Wumuti as the first member, the company shared more details about the upcoming debut.
In addition to revealing that Wumuti had produced the debut track himself, the company also shared that XLOV would be the first K-Pop boy group to have a “genderless” theme.
The concept for XLOV’s latest album marks a groundbreaking approach in K-POP male idols, being the first in South Korea to embrace a genderless theme. Additionally, XLOV member WUMUTI leveraged his impressive achievements in the survival programs “MNET BOYS PLANET” and “MNET Build-Up,” where he placed 3rd, to personally take part in producing this track.

Genderless can mean different things, from lyrics not containing a specific gender, to fashions leaning into the androgynous category on the gender binary.
Regardless of the meaning, netizens are excited for the possibilities this group holds!
