On May 18, 2018, KQ Entertainment published a YouTube video titled KQ Fellaz Performance Video I on YouTube, in which 8 trainees performed together. It was the label's first boy group, which was known as “KQ Fellaz” until its debut. The group debuted in 2018 and has been topping the charts regularly for years now. We're talking about ATEEZ, of course. But today we're not talking about ATEEZ, but about their successors xikers.
xikers is the new ten-member boy group from KQ Entertainment, who will release their first mini album “HOUSE OF TRICKY: Doorbell Ringing” as early as March 30!
As early as August 15, KQ Entertainment started introducing the 10 trainees on its own YouTube channel, back then still under the name “KQ Fellaz 2”. Since then, new videos of KQ Fellaz 2 have been released regularly, in which the members introduce themselves and prove their talent. There are even dance practice videos for several original songs like INDUSTRY BABY or TRICKY HOUSE. We're curious whether we'll see these songs again on the first mini album!
On February 23, KQ Entertainment finally announced that KQ Fellaz will debut as xikers in March. On that day, the first videos and photos were also uploaded to xikers' official social media channels. And by now they are being filled with new content and teasers almost every day!
Three days ago, for example, the first concept photo with all 10 members was released.
And yesterday 10 individual concept photos followed, one of each member: Minjae, Junmin, Sumin, Jinsik, Hyunwoo, Junghoon, Seeun, Hunter, Yujun and Yechan.
It's interesting that the photos are split into two groups. Junghoon, Seeun, Yujun, Hunter and Yechan appear in cozy sweaters and denim jackets with gummy bears and crowns.
Minjae, Junmin, Sumin, Jinsik and Hyunwoo, on the other hand, wear white shirts and black jackets. Jinsik is also holding a baseball bat. Which concept do you like better?
On a poster uploaded on March 6, some of the teasers we've already seen are listed on colorful balloons. A few of the balloons are very blurry, but we can make out that more teasers will be released on March 10 and 13.
It looks like the debut will be a big, colorful party!

As successors to ATEEZ, xikers have to live up to high expectations. In their videos so far, the guys have shown that they have what it takes to conquer the stage and make a name for themselves. We're excited for the group's first album and are keeping our fingers crossed for xikers!
