Xlov (Korean: 엑스러브; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean musical group formed by StrangeLab Inc. (formerly 257 Entertainment).[3] The group was previously managed by WM Entertainment,[4] which integrated with 257 Entertainment in August 2026. The group consists of four members: Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru. They debuted on January 7, 2025, with their single album I'mma Be. With a "genderless" concept, the group is known for their androgynous style and themes of being one's authentic self.
1. History
1.1. Pre-debut and other activities
In 2015, Wumuti participated and won the first season of MBC Music's reality competition series Super Idol, debuting as a member of Swin.[5] They then participated in three reality programs: MBC's Under Nineteen in 2018, Mnet's Boys Planet and Build Up: Vocal Boy Group Survival in 2023 and 2024, respectively.[6][7] Following Build Up, Wumuti was active as a member of the project group Waterfire.[8] In 2024, Wumuti made their solo debut with the single "You Make Me Better".[9]
Haru and Rui, then going by their full name Chen Kuanjui, participated alongside Wumuti as individual trainees in Mnet's Boys Planet in 2023.[10][11]
1.2. 2025–present: I'mma Be , I One , Uxlxve and I, God
In December 2024, 257 Entertainment announced that Xlov would be debuting on January 7, 2025, and revealed the members' lineup: Wumuti, Rui, Hyun, and Haru.[12][13][14][15] The group name is a combination of "X", which represents the unknown and negation, and "lov", which represents unfinished love, with different forms and meanings. The group's theme is "genderless concept".[16]
On January 7, 2025, Xlov made their debut with the single album I'mma Be and its lead single of the same name.[2] On March 2, 2025, Xlov began their first tour in Japan, "-X:On1y-", with 23 performances in Tokyo and Osaka.[17]
Xlov released their second single album, I One, on June 13, 2025. The album includes "1&Only", "1 of Lov", "Bizness", and 3 instrumental versions of the respective tracks.[18] To mark their first comeback, they released a new logo which depicted their debut logo engulfed in flames.[19] Xlov held their second tour in Japan, "XXXX:-P", on August 29, with eight stops in Tokyo and three in Yokohama.[20] The group released their first extended play, Uxlxve, on November 5, 2025.[21] The album includes six tracks for the streaming version, and nine for the CD version, of which three are instrumental versions of songs on the album.
The group's second extended play, I, God, was released on May 27, 2026 with its lead single "Serve".[22] Aani Nagaiah of Complex featured "Serve" as one of the top K-pop songs of 2026 so far, emphasizing their homage to queer ballroom culture.[23]
2. Public image
Xlov debuted in 2025 with the slogan "K-pop's first genderless concept".[24] In a 2025 interview, the group stated:
When we say 'genderless,' we think it might be a little difficult for English-speaking fans to fully grasp. By 'genderless,' we aim to break stereotypes that suggest only certain genders can do this or that. The art we express is 'gender-free,' and we hope it empowers more people to embrace their true selves and pursue who they want to be.[25]
All members of the group wear androgynous clothing; the music video for "I'mma Be" features members wearing both skirts and pants.[24] Xlov's leader Wumuti has stated that the genderless concept was not chosen for attention but is rather a reflection of the group members themselves. Wumuti said, "The genderless or gender-free concept we're best known for is part of the lifestyle we would like to show the world. I believe it is more about how I want to present myself to the world."[26] In his interview with Brendan Le at PEOPLE Magazine, Wumuti said, "Our goal has never been to force people to think in a certain way. We simply want to share our perspectives and our art and invite people to see the world from a different point of view. [27]
