xikers
Ten travelers, zero safe coordinates, and enough performance energy to make the stage look structurally nervous.
xikers built its identity on motion: strange worlds, reckless curiosity, loud rap, sharp choreography, and the idea that getting lost can be the beginning rather than the failure.

The quick file
Current era: ROUTE ZERO
The reset
ROUTE ZERO : The ORA begins a new series outside the familiar TRICKY HOUSE. The old coordinates are gone. That lets the group keep its taste for supernatural chaos without repeating the exact same mythology forever.
The May 19, 2026 mini album has five tracks: “Ghost Rider,” “OKay,” “Graffiti,” “Trophy,” and “문제아 (Outsider).” It also marks a full ten-member title-track era after JUNGHOON’s long recovery from knee surgery.
Why “OKay” matters
“OKay” rejects rules imposed by the world, then makes that message physical inside a haunted house. MINJAE, SUMIN, and YECHAN share lyric credits, so the group’s rap identity is part of the writing rather than merely the delivery.

OKay: xikers Walked Into a Haunted House and Told Every Nightmare to Deal With It
Song meaning first, then the haunted-house video, Twin Peaks reference, full credits, ten-member formations, album placement, and fan response.
More official-video reviews are being added newest-to-oldest from the CVM Sekai playlist. This section updates as each deep review is published.
History without the brochure voice
The ten trainees were introduced through interviews and performance content under the KQ Fellaz 2 name. Their pre-debut work included “Geek” and the training documentary-style content that let early fans learn personalities before the official name arrived.
xikers debuted March 30 with HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing. “TRICKY HOUSE” and “ROCKSTAR” established the two poles that still matter: mischievous world-building and a stage attack that rarely understands the word small.
JUNGHOON suffered a serious knee injury shortly after debut and entered a long hiatus for surgery and rehabilitation. The group promoted as nine, but official identity remained ten. Multiple HOUSE OF TRICKY releases, touring, Japanese activity, and increasingly confident live performance kept expanding the audience while fans waited.
JUNGHOON’s return restored the full lineup. The comeback was more than a headcount fix: fans finally got to hear how the complete vocal and performance balance worked after the other nine had grown through years of promotions.
The seventh mini album closes the comfortable map and begins again. The concept is not erasing the earlier years. It is taking everything the group learned inside the TRICKY HOUSE and carrying it somewhere the rules are not written yet.
Discography map
| Era | Release | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing | Debut; “TRICKY HOUSE” and “ROCKSTAR” introduced the group’s lore and performance scale. |
| 2023 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : HOW TO PLAY | “DO or DIE” and “HOMEBOY” widened the emotional range without dropping the chaos. |
| 2024 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : Trial and Error | “We Don’t Stop” pushed the hip-hop side harder. |
| 2024 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : WATCH OUT | “WITCH” leaned into darker, theatrical storytelling. |
| 2025 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : SPUR | Continued the main series and the group’s touring-era growth. |
| 2025 | HOUSE OF TRICKY : WRECKING THE HOUSE | The last full HOUSE chapter before the reset. |
| 2026 | ROUTE ZERO : The ORA | New series, full ten-member era, title track “OKay.” |
Fandom corner
The official fandom name is road𝓨. The road is not standing outside the story cheering; it is the path xikers travels on. The stylized final character also keeps the name connected to the group’s love of odd coordinates and visual wordplay.
New fans usually learn the group fastest by separating three engines: the rap line of MINJAE, SUMIN, and YECHAN; the distinct vocal colors across JINSIK, HYUNWOO, and JUNGHOON; and the performance personalities carried by JUNMIN, SEEUN, YUJUN, and HUNTER. Those are not prison cells—members cross roles constantly—but they are useful first landmarks.
Tea, rumors, and the facts people keep flattening
JUNGHOON was never a former member. He paused activities after a serious knee injury announced in May 2023, recovered, and returned. Old nine-member explainers are snapshots of a hiatus, not the current lineup.
ATEEZ’s “little brothers” is useful company context, not an identity. Both groups are under KQ, but xikers has its own lore, younger performance texture, and rap chemistry. Reducing ten people to a corporate family label is lazy.
Current tea rule: sourced updates belong here; anonymous accusation soup does not. Confirmed schedule changes, injuries, company statements, chart moments, and fan debates get linked to the people and songs involved.
