Rookie K-pop boyband xikers are set to make their first-ever comeback this August.
Yesterday (July 3), xikers released two teasers on their Twitter account. The first seemed to emulate the home screen of a phone, with an app called “Trickey” with a chat bubble that says: “Trick or search!”

xikers made their official debut on March 30 with their first mini-album, ‘HOUSE OF TRICKY: Doorbell Ringing’. The project was lead by the lead single ‘Tricky House’, as well as the follow-up single ‘ROCKSTAR’.
‘HOUSE OF TRICKY: Doorbell Ringing’ went on to debut at umber 75 on the Billboard 200, making them the third-ever K-pop boy group to enter the chart with a debut release, after SuperM and Tomorrow X Together.
Prior to their debut, the members of xikers – Minjae, Junmin, Sumin, Jinsik, Hyunwoo, Junghoon, Seeun, Hunter, Yujun, and Yechan – were introduced as KQ Fellaz 2 in August 2022. During this time, the group performed at several K-pop festivals and labelmates ATEEZ’s concerts both in Korea and overseas.
In other K-pop news, OMEGA X have joined a new K-pop agency after leaving SPIRE Entertainment. The boyband have signed an “exclusive contract” with IPQ Corp, known for producing the Korean Boys’ Love series A Shoulder to Cry On, which starred OMEGA X members Jaehan and Yechan.
