Xlov debuted in 2025 with the slogan "K-pop’s first genderless concept". Park Jae-yong, CEO of 257 Entertainment, said: "The members do not identify as genderless in terms of identity—this is simply a concept we chose to differentiate ourselves from other groups. Our goal was to express beauty without gender boundaries." In a 2025 interview, the group stated: "When we say 'genderless,' we think it might be a little difficult for English-speaking fans to fully grasp. By 'genderless,' we aim to break stereotypes that suggest only certain genders can do this or that. The art we express is 'gender-free,' and we hope it empowers more people to embrace their true selves and pursue who they want to be." All members of the group wear androgynous clothing; the music video for "I'mma Be" features members wearing both skirts and pants.
