Cocona’s Announcement

In the post, Cocona stated, “Today, I turned 20. As I reach this new chapter in my life, I want to share something that’s been in my heart for a long time.” They expressed their identity as “AFAB transmasculine non-binary” and revealed that they underwent top surgery earlier this year.

Self-Identification Journey

Looking Ahead

In closing, Cocona thanked fans and supporters for their unwavering presence. They expressed excitement for the future with both XG and their label, XGALX. The journey of embracing identity continues for Cocona, along with six fellow group members: Jurin, Chisa, Hinata, Harvey, Juria, and Maya.
