Animated Mayhem Meets K-pop Mystery
K-pop’s fast-rising group xikers is coming in hot with their new digital single ‘ICONIC’. On July 31, the rookie group’s label KQ Entertainment unveiled an animated teaser clip for the track via their official YouTube channel, instantly sparking buzz across fandoms.
Neon Noir Meets High-Energy Sound
The one-minute clip kicks off with a lone character sprinting through a maze of neon-lit skyscrapers, evoking vibes somewhere between Tron and a Seoul-set sci-fi. As the figure dashes ahead, streaks of vibrant color and kinetic light effects pulse to the rhythm of an infectious beat—yes, that beat is from xikers’ new single, and yes, it’s already stuck in our heads.
By the time the character disappears into a glowing portal (cue end-credits level chills), both your eyes and ears will have been thoroughly stunned. If the visuals are any indication, ‘ICONIC’ is shaping up to be, well, iconic.
