xikers will hold the 2025 xikers SPECIAL FANMEETING at 5 p.m. on Oct. 25 at Donghae Culture and Arts Center, Kwangwoon University in Seoul.
xikers entered the Billboard main album chart, the "Billboard 200," just 12 days after their debut, setting an unusual record. They went on to chart in a total of seven institutional sector, including No. 1 on Emerging Artists and on Artist 100, and were named to the Grammys' "2023 K-pop boy groups to watch: Top 11," rising as a "monster rookie."
Also, the mini-album 2 title track "DO or DIE" surpassed 10 million views on YouTube within 22 hours of release, and the double title track "HOMEBOY" also reached 10 million views in about 19 hours, proving the intense reaction from global fans.
Taking their first world tour six months after debut, xikers showed steep growth in 2024 by successfully completing not only a North America tour—the first for a fifth-generation boy group—but also a Europe tour. Although they are rookies not yet a year since their official debut, it is notable that they quickly expanded their presence on the global stage.
General ticket sales for the fan meeting opened through NOL Interpark on Oct. 1 and will be available until the 21st. In particular, since the fan meeting is being held ahead of their comeback on Oct. 31, fans' expectations are especially high.
Through this fan meeting, xikers will have time to interact offline with global fans. Members are reported to be preparing special stages and various events, drawing fans' attention.
Meanwhile, xikers are scheduled to release their mini-album 6, HOUSE OF TRICKY : WRECKING THE HOUSE, at 1 p.m. on the 31st.
