Information

XING debuted in December 2006 with the single "In Your Hands" as a 4 member group, including Kevin (now member of U-Kiss), Marumir (known known as Ki Bum, former member of U-Kiss), Yume and Chun Hye Sung. Marumir decided to leave the group only seven months later, in July 2007, and two new members joined the group, POPPIN' DRAGON (now known as Yong Jun Hyung, BEAST) and Zen. XING released their second single "My Girl" in August 2007 as a five member group.

In December 2007 Chun Hye Sung decided to leave the group and he was replaced by Husky (now known as Hyunmin, The Boss). Yume and POPPIN' DRAGON also decided to leave short time later, in January 2008. The same month three new members joined XING: White (now known as Mika, The Boss), Yoon and Gun. Kipalang (now known as Jay, The Boss) would, in February, join them too. With the new 7-member line up, the group released a repackaged edition of "My Girl" and the digital single "T Express".

In April 2008, Kevin, the only remaining original member, also decided to leave XING, and two new members joined, Rising (now known as Garam, The Boss) and Soul (now known as Injun, The Boss). At that point, it was announced that XING would become a rotatory group, and the 8-member line-up would be occasionally divided into different sub-groups. In October, they released the single "Memorize" as XING OPERA featuring the 8 members of the group. Two months later, in December, a new version of "In Your Hands" was released as XING HARMONY, featuring Soul, Rising, White and Husky. In January 2009, they released "Sarang" as XING ARIA, featuring White, Yoon and Husky. Two more sub-groups were announced, however none of them finally debuted.

In June 2009, the group released what is now their last release, the single "2009 HI-FIVE" as, once again, XING OPERA. The single did not featured member Zen, as he was studding abroad at the time.

In December 2009 a teaser video was released featuring a complete new line-up including Hyun Jin (now known as Zin, X-5, Lu:kus), Jin Wan (now known as Sulhu, X-5, Lu:kus), Wan Chul and Doo Hwan (both now members of A-Peace), and Dong Geun (Dong Geun did not appeared on the fifth generation promotional photos, as it was a latter addition to the group.) This new group never debuted, which made XING to be considered unofficially disbanded.
