xikers

xikers (싸이커스) is the 10-member KQ Entertainment group that followed ATEEZ with a harder, performance-first fifth-generation blueprint. Introduced as KQ Fellaz 2, the team debuted on March 30, 2023 with House of Tricky: Doorbell Ringing and quickly built a catalog that leaned on velocity, lore, and a much rougher edge than the average rookie-boy-group launch.

The House of Tricky run gave xikers a clear internal language. Doorbell Ringing, How to Play, Trial and Error, Spur, and Wrecking the House all pushed the same restless energy while the group kept leveling up its touring and performance reputation. KQ also regained full-lineup momentum once Junghoon returned to activities, putting all 10 members back into the live picture.

Now the group is resetting on purpose. Seventh mini album ROUTE ZERO : The ORA, due May 19, 2026 at 6 p.m. KST, closes the two-year-plus House of Tricky frame and opens a new series. That matters because xikers no longer reads like a promising experiment. It reads like one of KQ's core long-game acts.
