XODIAC: The 9-Member Group Inspired by BTS & SEVENTEEN Makes Their Mark
Global rookie idol group XODIAC has officially made their entrance into the music industry.
XODIAC (Lex, Hyunsik, Zayyan, Beomsoo, Gyumin, Wain, Sing, Davin and Leo) held their debut single "Throw a Dice" showcase on April 25th at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
XODIAC is a group that seeks to find their own constellation through endless effort and an enterprising spirit. Their name and symbol, 'X,' represents infinite possibilities, as they aim to showcase a diverse musical world through their ever-changing personas.
Beomsoo said, "The X in XODIAC's logo stands out, representing both the first letter of our name and the concept of infinity. Like a rocket exploring the infinite universe, we aim to present a world beyond our own."
XODIAC is a unit-based group, with members participating differently depending on the album's concept. The nine members have come together for the "Throw a Dice" promotion.
Launched with the concept of changing the group's identity and color according to the planned concept, six members previously participated in pre-debut promotions with the song 'Calling.'
Gyumin said, "The six members did a great job in the pre-debut, so we decided to show an amazing performance with nine members. We made sure to showcase our unique vocal tones, performances, and charms."
The group emphasized that their differentiation from other boy groups lies in their unit-based member participation in album tracks.
"Throw a Dice" is a hip-hop-based track with a flashy rhythm and minimal sound, embodying the concept of confident youth achieving their goals.
Dabin described the song as having a "calm before the storm" feel, with its rough raps and smooth melodies creating a captivating transformation. Wain also expressed excitement for their "powerful and rhythmic performance."
Regarding future activities, Lex said, "I want to show our true selves on the music shows we've always admired." Gyumin added, "I hope to perform at year-end awards shows and win a rookie award through our hard work."
Hyunsik expressed his desire to compete against other senior artists on music shows and perform on the 'MAMA' stage, which is a dream for many idols. The group cited BTS, SEVENTEEN, MONSTA X, and EXO's Baekhyun as their role models.
