The highly awaited "WOKE UP" music video, the fifth single by XG, was released on May 21st. Renowned for being a worldwide girl group that captivates listeners with their catchy songs, the members of this group are also open to taking risks.
Member Cocona startled the industry with a completely different hairstyle, this time sporting a buzz cut for their comeback. Her fans, who are shocked by her transformation are still amazed and supportive of the change.

Still, some netizens are uncertain as to whether this is Cocona's decision or that of her company and hence are worried for the idol, they commented:
- Can you all please be a little nicer to Cocona? Isn't she just 18 years old? She looks great with this buzzcut! It's bold and not easy to actually go through with so please be a little respectful for once.
- XG really is such a good and original group like you won't see this anywhere else in K-pop
- As long it's her decision it's fine!
- I doubt her company would force her to do this! Pretty sure AVEX just gives them a lot of creative freedom and Cocona just wanted to drastically switch things up
- Omg, so she really cut her hair... why?
- Somebody buy her a cute wig please
- It's better than braids, I guess
- She's enlisting
- I just hope it was her decision to get the buzz cut and not the company that forced her to do it
- For me this is the real definition of "I wanna change the K-pop industry"
- She is the real miss change the industry miss Eunchae and Yunjin could never
- Real definition of doing something for K-pop
- This is how you shake the industry
