xikers Wrap Up Promotions for Their 6th Mini Album… Proving Their Presence as a “Global Rising Force”

Boy group xikers has solidified their position as a “global trendsetter.”

On the 16th, xikers concluded their official promotions for their 6th mini album HOUSE OF TRICKY : WRECKING THE HOUSE with their final stage on SBS Inkigayo. This album is the finale of the long-running House of Tricky series that xikers has consistently built since debut. Through the title track “SUPERPOWER (Peak),” the group expresses their determination to break away from existing norms and push their limits with their own unique energy.

The album achieved a career high with over 320,000 copies sold in its first week, doubling the first-week sales of their previous 5th mini album and marking their best record yet. This impressive growth reflects the intense global interest toward xikers, recognized as a leading 5th-generation boy group.

Upon release, the album entered multiple charts at the top, including No. 1 on the Hanteo Chart’s real-time physical album chart and the Circle Chart Daily Retail Album Chart, while also charting on iTunes Top Albums and Apple Music Top Albums. It later ranked No. 5 on the Hanteo Weekly Physical Album Chart, and the title track “SUPERPOWER” placed No. 2 on the Bugs real-time chart and entered the upper ranks of iTunes Top Songs and Instagram’s Trending Audio chart—showing strong performance on both album and digital charts worldwide.

The key choreography of “SUPERPOWER,” which mimics opening and drinking an energy drink, also went viral. The music video, filled with xikers’ powerful performance, surpassed 10 million YouTube views within just three days, earning the nickname “an energy drink you can watch and listen to,” and giving global fans a full-power boost.

Riding the momentum, xikers also performed the B-side track “ICONIC” on music shows to thank fans for their support. In addition, they captured fans’ attention with a unique animation-style visualizer, a striking performance video showcasing their sharp and captivating moves, and a remix album for “SUPERPOWER” produced with Eden-ary—all offering diverse content that further strengthened their global fandom.

This year, member Junghoon returned to group activities for the first time in nearly two years, restoring xikers to a full 10-member lineup. Through two albums and a world tour, the group has significantly expanded their global following. With their rise beyond Korea to become prominent representatives of K-pop, expectations continue to grow for their future achievements.
