X) is a South Korean boy group under Victory Company that debuted in 2021. Their sound identity is defined by a rigorous fusion of hip-hop, trap, and electronic dance music, often featuring self-produced elements by members like Rawhyun.
Historically, they emerged during the 'fourth generation' of K-pop, a period marked by high-performance choreography and complex, genre-bending production. Their career arc has seen a transition from the brighter, more traditional pop sounds of 'Full of Lovescapes' toward a darker, more aggressive sonic palette in later releases like 'Hold X' and 'ODD HOUR'. Critically, they are noted for their 'all-rounder' capabilities, particularly their strong rap line and the involvement of members in the creative process, which lends a more authentic, gritty edge to their discography compared to more manufactured peers. They occupy a space in the scene alongside groups like Trendz and BAE173, catering to a fanbase that values high-intensity performance and industrial-influenced pop.
