Their story

The second KQ Fellaz

xikers is the second boy group from KQ Entertainment, the agency of ATEEZ. As trainees the ten members went by KQ Fellaz 2, and in 2022 they opened for ATEEZ on the US leg of the Break the Wall tour. The pre-debut song "Geek" followed that September. The name is pronounced "psy-kers". It combines x, for coordinates, with hikers. The debut came in March 2023 with the EP House of Tricky: Doorbell Ringing, led by "Tricky House" and "Rockstar".

A debut written by Hongjoong

ATEEZ leader Hongjoong wrote the music and lyrics for every track on the debut EP. Within weeks it entered the Billboard 200 at No. 75. That autumn xikers went on their first tour, Tricky House: First Encounter, through six US cities. Their first solo concert in Seoul came in 2025 and opened the Road to XY: Enter the Gate world tour.

Six chapters of one house

The six EPs of the House of Tricky series share one story, but the title tracks keep changing style. "Tricky House" put Korean dokkaebi folklore over a Bollywood-style beat. "DO or DIE" was alt-rock, and "WITCH" was built on trap. The members write as well. Minjae, Sumin and Yechan co-wrote songs on House of Tricky: Wrecking the House, the last chapter. Its title track, "SUPERPOWER (Peak)", got a music video that passed 10 million views in three days.

Where they are now

All ten members are together again. Junghoon rejoined for House of Tricky: Spur in April 2025, the first release by all ten in two years. A year later the EP Route Zero: The ORA opened a new series. It passed 320,000 copies in four days, a group best. The eighth EP, Route Zero: The Calling, has been announced for 2 November 2026.
