Recently, XG announced the title of their long-awaited 2nd mini-album 'AWE', which will be released on November 8. Fans were thrilled when the tracklist of the mini-album, partially revealed on the same day, included 'WOKE UP REMIXX'. It was announced that 'WOKE UP REMIXX (PROD BY JAKOPS)' will be released this week on September 20 (Friday). The original song 'WOKE UP', released in May this year, surprised the world with its powerful hip-hop identity and unconventional all-rap style, leaving a new impression on listeners. During the ongoing world tour 'XG 1st WORLD TOUR “The first HOWL”', JAKOPS (SIMON JUNHO PARK), the Executive Producer/CEO of XGALX to which XG belongs, has been a hot topic as he played as a DJ. The remix is finally set to be released. JAKOPS, born in Seattle and a mix of Japan and Korea, has newly planned and produced the remix, incorporating an evolved charm while maintaining the original song's identity. The participation of eight rappers representing the hip-hop scene in Japan and Korea, including Park Jaebum, OZworld, AKLO, Paloalto, VERBAL from m-flo, Awich, Tak, and DOK2, brings together diverse cultures and creates a synergy different from the original. On Billboard Japan's comprehensive chart 'Hot100', it has ranked for eight consecutive weeks. Similarly, on the Global Japan Songs chart 'Global Japan songs Excl. Japan', it has recorded the top position for nine consecutive weeks, and the music video has ranked in 19 countries and regions, including first place in the USA, creating a viral sensation worldwide. Fans can't help but look forward to how the remix of XG's first all-rap song 'WOKE UP' will turn out. 'WOKE UP REMIXX (PROD BY JAKOPS)' will start streaming on all music distribution sites at midnight local time on September 20 (Friday). • XG appeared at the final stage of 'VCT Pacific 2024' held in Korea!
