The boy group XLOV took a head-on approach to the polarized reactions they have been receiving.

On the 28th, a showcase commemorating the release of XLOV's (Woomuti, Louis, Hyun, Haru) third mini-album "I Equals I (i=!)" was held at the Cube Convention Center in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Hyun was unable to attend the showcase due to a leg injury, following medical advice.

When asked on the day what kind of impact they hope to have on K-pop through their strongly polarizing gender-free concept, Woomuti stated, "While I think it is still too early for a group like XLOV in K-pop, which began with outstanding senior artists, we are active with the mindset of becoming a new window on a wall that had none." He added, "I believe that by thinking differently from other perspectives and creating art this way, even small differences in vision will lead to different outcomes. Going forward, we want to be a good source of inspiration and strength for many artists and trainees who will debut in the future, as we have experienced many worries and hardships, and we hope to become wonderful seniors for those who will stand on stage in the future." He conveyed his ambitious aspirations.

XLOV is a boy group active with a gender-free concept that does not adhere to or cross gender standards and boundaries, a first in K-pop. In March of last year, RBW acquired 257 Entertainment, XLOV's agency, and in August, 257 and WM Entertainment began a new chapter under the single name StrangeLab Co., Ltd.

"I Equals I" was released at 6 p.m. on the 28th through various online music platforms.
