After a landmark year in 2025, XLOV is now announcing its first major European tour, already sold-out in several cities. This phenomenon group is carried by four Asian artists who are reinventing contemporary pop codes and delivering a powerful message of self-love, resilience, and intercultural dialogue.
An emerging phenomenon turned into an obvious force within months, XLOV has established itself as one of the most unique groups of the new Asian wave. Managed by 257 Entertainment, XLOV began its activities in January 2025, consisting of four members: Wumuti (the leader and co-producer), Rui, Hyun, and Haru. Their fandom is called Evol.
United not by provocation but by conviction, Wumuti (China), Hyun (Korea), Rui (Taiwan), and Haru (Japan) joined forces around a genderless artistic project, where aesthetics take center stage. When asked, they explain that their approach is to question, explore, and endlessly express the notion of beauty, and that the conceptual space of genderless aesthetics allows this freedom. In a musical ecosystem often confined by rigid codes, XLOV dares to embrace what others no longer dared: an androgynous aura, a narrative of resilience, and a performance style rooted in real emotion.
A genuine tidal wave surged shortly after their debut. The announcement of their European tour confirmed the extent of the phenomenon: 90% of venues are already sold-out, and producers Envol Productions and 5 Oceans had to secure larger halls to meet the demand of the Evol. This reflects the scope of the movement–multigenerational, multicultural, resonating deeply with communities finally seeing themselves recognised in all their diversity.
XLOV will perform 10 songs, including the six tracks from their new mini-album, UXLXVE. They often remind audiences that genderless aesthetics are their artistic language — what allows them to feel freer and more creative. “We have prepared magnificent outfits and detailed makeup to deliver our message,” says Wumuti.

XLOV stands by a clear line: “Love yourself, hold each other.” Without the Evol, XLOV remains incomplete — their union represents wholeness, built on listening, respect, and collective creativity. Their artistic universe rejects rigid categories while refusing to adopt any identity label: the concept is genderless, the intent is inclusive. Their approach must not be confused with sexual orientation.
Their presence in Europe in 2026 is already shaping up to be a pivotal moment — not only for K-Pop but for contemporary pop scenes as a whole. They embody, in their own way, the lineage of boundary breaking artists such as David Bowie, who embraced flamboyance and ambiguity as creative strength. With rare stage energy, impressive cohesion, and a strong aesthetic vision, XLOV arrives in Europe to confirm what Evol already knows–they are unclassifiable and incredibly talented.
