XLOV's 'I,God' Lands No. 6 on Billboard's Best K-POP Albums of 2026 List

XLOV has earned one of its biggest international accolades yet, with its second mini-album "I,God" ranking No. 6 on Billboard's list of "The 25 Best K-POP Albums of 2026 (So Far), Ranked: Staff Picks."

Released on July 20, the annual list highlighted the quartet's latest project for its cohesive sound and artistic vision. Billboard praised the album's groove-driven dance tracks and described its central theme as a journey toward embracing one's imperfections, noting that XLOV redefines perfection as the confidence to accept flaws rather than erase them.

"I,God" marks a creative milestone for the group, with member Wumuti taking the lead in production while Hyun and Haru contributed lyrics to several tracks.

The recognition comes as XLOV continues to expand its global reach. After wrapping up fan meetings in New York and Los Angeles earlier this year, the group recently kicked off its "Serving-X" Asia tour in Seoul. The tour will continue with stops in Tokyo on July 26, Hong Kong on Aug. 9, Taipei on Aug. 29, Singapore on Oct. 1 and Osaka on Oct. 17.
