Name

In an interview, one of the members, Aria, revealed that she came up with the term "EXIN" as it is derived from a Latin word which means "furthermore". This term was later evolved into the stylized form "X:IN" where X symbolises an unknown variable, as seen in mathematics, representing the group's mission to convey concepts beyond standard definition through their uniqueness and talent.[4][5]
