New Sound, Same Energy: xikers Are Back With a Bang
K-pop rookie group xikers just made their return with a turbo-charged digital single, ‘ICONIC’, released on July 1 at 1 PM KST. It’s been four months since fans last heard from them, and their comeback is as bold as their name.
‘ICONIC’ Hits with Gritty Guitars and Trap Beats
The new track blends Western-style guitar riffs with trap rhythms in a high-octane sonic chase. The lyrics tackle themes of self-identity and defiance: “Even if the world views me ironically, I live iconically.” It’s a confident rallying cry for a group that’s turning heads in both Korea and abroad.
Visualizer Adds Anime Aesthetics to the Heat
Dropping alongside the single, the official visualizer shows a charging character animated through vivid, kinetic scenes. Think high-speed anime meets music video—it’s the kind of eye-candy that makes you hit replay instantly.
Building Their Billboard Legacy
This release follows xikers’ April mini-album ‘HOUSE OF TRICKY: SPUR’, which made notable waves on the Billboard charts. The album peaked at:
- #3 on World Albums
- #4 on Emerging Artists
- #6 on Top Current Album Sales
- #8 on Top Album Sales
- #33 on Independent Albums
- #50 on Billboard Artist 100
Not too shabby for a group still early in their career.
From iHeartRadio to the World
xikers recently performed at iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango —as the only K-pop boy group on the lineup. Talk about flexing their global credentials. They’ve also announced their 2025 world tour, ‘Road to XY: Enter the Gate’, with stops in Seoul, five US cities (including New York, LA, and Dallas), and Tokyo. The message is clear: xikers aren’t just local favorites—they’re next-gen global performers.
Next Stop: Live Party at Nodeul Island
To thank fans, xikers will host a release party on July 2 at Seoul’s Nodeul Island Live House. Expect high-energy performances, fan interactions, and possibly some behind-the-scenes tea on ‘ICONIC’.
