In April, xikers demonstrated their global presence with their 5th EP, HOUSE OF TRICKY : SPUR, charting on several Billboard rankings: No.3 on World Albums, No.4 on Emerging Artists, No.6 on Top Current Album Sales, No.8 on Top Album Sales, No.33 on Independent Albums, and No.50 on Billboard Artist 100. Released just four months later, this new digital single signals another bold leap forward.

Recently, xikers performed as the sole K-pop boy group on the line-up for iHeartRadio’s Wango Tango. Since May, they have been on their 2025 World Tour, 'Road to XY : Enter the Gate,' starting in Seoul and continuing through five major U.S. cities: New York, Rosemont, Atlanta, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Los Angeles, as well as Tokyo, Japan. Through this active engagement with global fans, xikers has solidified their position as a top 5th-generation performance group.

With this new digital single, “ICONIC,” xikers is set to mark yet another milestone in their rapidly growing global career.
