xikers, the latest boy group under KQ Entertainment, is rapidly gaining global attention, continuing the success trail blazed by ATEEZ. The group debuted with a distinct musical style and an immersive storyline, capturing the hearts of international K-pop fans. Their debut album sold over 100,000 copies, ranking fifth in boy group debut album sales, and even secured the 75th spot on the Billboard 200 chart, cementing their position as ‘super rookies.’
Beyond album sales, xikers has proven its global appeal. Within just six months of debuting, they embarked on their first world tour, earning the title of ‘next-generation performance powerhouse’ with concerts spanning Japan, the U.S., and Europe. Notably, they became the first 5th-generation boy group to tour both North America and Europe, showcasing their stage presence and rapid growth in the industry.
Meanwhile, their senior group, ATEEZ, continues to dominate the concert scene with their 2025 World Tour. Performing 14 shows across nine European countries, ATEEZ set a new benchmark for K-pop acts, even holding a historic solo concert at France’s La Défense Arena. Their upcoming finale concert at Seoul’s KSPO Dome sold out, proving their unwavering popularity.
xikers is set to launch their own world tour, ‘Road to XY: Enter the Gate,’ in May, kicking off with their first solo concert in Seoul before heading to major cities in the U.S. and Japan. Adding to their growing reputation, they have been invited to perform at the ‘Wango Tango’ festival, hosted by iHeartRadio, making them the only K-pop boy group in the lineup.
Their highly anticipated fifth mini-album, ‘House of Tricky: Spur,’ is slated for release on April 4, marking their return with a full-strength lineup, including member Junghoon’s comeback. With expectations soaring, xikers aims to deliver an upgraded performance, building on their prior stage experience.
As the next torchbearers of KQ Entertainment, xikers is poised to carve a new chapter in K-pop history, and fans worldwide eagerly await the journey ahead.
