XG proves overwhelming performance power with 'TAKE MY BREATH' dance break
XG showcased sophisticated choreography and overwhelming performance energy through the dance break rehearsal video for 'TAKE MY BREATH'.
XG has showcased the sheer intensity of their stage through a dance break video that encapsulates the core performance of the track. Based on "TAKE MY BREATH" from their first full-length album, *THE CORE*, this rehearsal video provides an unfiltered look at the members' movements and the song's raw energy. Released in tandem with the flow of the XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE FINAL "1" & "7", the video is capturing the attention of fans worldwide.
A Synergy of Seamless Formation and Explosive Energy
The released video focuses heavily on the dance break segment of "TAKE MY BREATH." As one of the key tracks from XG's first studio album, *THE CORE*, the song serves as a vital component of the album's overall sonic identity. In the video, the members execute highly sophisticated choreography synchronized with the beat, going beyond mere movement to physically embody the texture of the music. Notably, even during segments with rapid shifts in formation and spacing, the members maintain impeccable precision, elevating the overall quality of the performance.
The members' movements, which shift in intensity alongside the sound, add a layer of visual immersion. At points where the beat intensifies, synchronized movements maximize the song's tension, while the individual details displayed by each member coalesce with the overall formation to create a massive, singular flow. Capturing the vividness of the rehearsal, this video serves as a preview of the performance density that will be unleashed on stage.
The Musical Composition of the First Studio Album, *THE CORE*
XG's first full-length album, *THE CORE*, which features the foundation of this performance, "TAKE MY BREATH," is a culmination of their musical spectrum. The album consists of 10 tracks, starting with "XIGNAL (The Intro)" and progressing through "GALA," "ROCK THE BOAT," "TAKE MY BREATH," "NO GOOD," "HYPNOTIZE," "UP NOW," "O.R.B (Obviously Reads Bro)," "4 SEASONS," and concluding with "PS118." Each track progressively reveals the unique musical world XG has built, and this dance break video captures the essence of the most performance-driven track among them.
The 'THE CORE' World Tour Schedule Foreshadowing a Tokyo Dome Debut
This video was released as part of the journey for XG's massive world tour, "XG WORLD TOUR: THE CORE."

Following this, they will tour across Japan, visiting Osaka Joe Hall, Nagoya IG Arena, Fukui Sundome, Miyagi Sekisui Heim Super Arena, Kobe GLION ARENA, Kitakyushu Messe, and the Yoyogi National Stadium First Gymnasium.
The itinerary expanding to the global stage is equally vast.

The tour continues in October through Melbourne Rod Laver Arena, Sydney Qudos Bank Arena, and Taipei Arena, before embarking on a massive journey through North and Central/South America in November, covering Auckland, Los Angeles, Chicago, Hamilton, Newark, Dallas, and Mexico City.
The pinnacle of the tour is scheduled for February 2027, with performances at Tokyo Dome and Kyocera Dome Osaka. The shows at Tokyo Dome on February 10 and 11, 2027, and Kyocera Dome Osaka on February 27 and 28, 2027, serve as the grand finale of this world tour. The intensity of the performance shown in this rehearsal video heightens expectations for how such power will be realized on the massive arena and dome stages ahead.
