Description

xikers is a South Korean boy group formed by KQ Entertainment, the same agency behind ATEEZ. The group officially debuted on March 30, 2023, with their first mini-album HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing. The name “xikers” combines “x” (representing coordinates) and “hikers,” symbolizing their journey across space and time to find their own path. The group originally debuted with ten members — Minjae, Junmin, Sumin, Jinsik, Hyunwoo, Hunter, Junghoon, Seeun, Yujun, and Yechan — known for their powerful performances and adventurous concept. Their debut album showcased a blend of intense energy, dynamic choreography, and experimental sounds that quickly drew comparisons to their labelmates ATEEZ. Following their debut, xikers released additional projects such as HOUSE OF TRICKY : HOW TO PLAY (2023) and HOUSE OF TRICKY : TRIAL AND ERROR (2024), solidifying their reputation as one of the most promising 4th-generation boy groups. In August 2024, it was announced that leader Minjae and member Junmin would temporarily halt activities due to health reasons, but the group continues to perform actively with eight members. With their bold concept, synchronized dancing, and futuristic storytelling, xikers has established a distinct identity in the K-pop landscape.
