Yesterday (November 18), Asaya released her debut solo single, ‘PS118’ featuring rapper Rapsody. This makes the K-pop singer – who is also the leader of XG – the first member of the group to release solo material.

‘PS118’ is a smooth hip-hop track that sees Jurin rap with a quick and slick flow, later bouncing verses off Rapsody. Asaya raps with ease on the track: “Oxygen level low / Vapors is all I’m breathing in / Had to hit up Rapsody / The queen no bohemian / 8 bars pass off with ease so convenient / I see the play Earth is feeling crowded / So I needed space“.

Jurin commented of the track via a press release: “I’m so excited to release my solo single ‘PS118.’ For me, ‘PS118’ is a song about exploring and expanding my own universe. Throughout this project, Rapsody and I deeply connected with each other’s journeys, exploring and traveling through our own universes. The whole process felt like we were flying through space together—it was pure fun! I hope you can feel our journey through the words and rhythm.”

Rapsody added: “I was blown away by her lyrical skill and performance! Especially since English isn’t her first language—she killed it! The verses were flawless and deserve respect! Jurin proved herself to be a true MC on this track, and it was a joy to share the mic with her! Fans can expect real rap, wordplay, and sharp rhymes. No fluff, just pure Jedi force.”

In other news, XG have revealed the title and release date for their highly anticipated debut album – it is due for release in January 2026, and is titled ‘The Core’. So far, the album has been previewed by one single, ‘GALA’, which arrived in September.
