The group Xikers celebrated their 1,000th day since debut.
Xikers posted commemorative photos on their official SNS today (23rd) to mark their 1,000th day since debut. They added meaning by uploading a verification photo holding a balloon that read HAPPY 1000 DAY♥.
Xikers, who debuted on March 30, 2023, made an immediate impression on the music industry with mini album 1 "House of Tricky : Doorbell Ringing(HOUSE OF TRICKY : Doorbell Ringing)". Not only did they achieve the feat of entering the Billboard main chart Billboard 200 at No. 75 just 12 days after debut, they were also selected by the Grammys as one of the "Top 11 K-pop boy groups to watch in 2023," announcing the birth of a "monster rookie."
On the occasion of Xikers' 1,000th day since debut, which opened the curtain on a powerful debut that captured the attention of K-pop fans around the world, we looked back on their dazzling trajectory so far.
# music and performance proved a solid identity
Xikers have built their own identity based on the members' outstanding songwriting skills and solid teamwork. Minjae, Sumin and Yechan have participated in album work from mini album 1 through mini album 6, steadily proving their musical capabilities.
Also, the 10 members present an unparalleled performance with powerful group choreography in perfect harmony that keeps fans' eyes glued.
# the potential Billboard noticed in Xikers
From their debut, Xikers made their presence felt on the U.S. Billboard charts and established themselves as a group drawing attention in the global music market. In particular, they reached No. 1 four consecutive times on the Billboard Emerging Artists chart from mini album 1 through 4.
In addition, they proved the intense interest of global listeners by appearing on various overseas charts such as Japan's Oricon chart and the worldwide iTunes chart.
# proven global influence on the world stage
Six months after debut, Xikers held their first world tour, and in 2024 they became the first 5th-generation boy group to carry out a North American tour and a European tour in succession, expanding their contact points with global fans. This year, through the 2025 world tour Road to XY : Enter the Gate(Road to XY : Enter the Gate), they began in Seoul and completed performances in five North American cities and Tokyo, Japan, bringing the world tour to a close.
Moreover, during their world tour schedule they achieved the distinction of being the only K-pop boy group to appear at the U.S. music festival Wango Tango.
Furthermore, Xikers continue their astonishingly high popularity amid ongoing growth. Through the mini album 6 released last October, they set their own best records on digital and album charts, surpassing first-week sales (sales in the week after an album's release) of 320,000 copies and achieving a career high.
They were also crowned winners of three year-end awards, taking Best Artist at the 2025 Korea Grand Music Awards with iM Bank(2025 KGMA), the AAA Potential category at the 10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025(10th Anniversary Asia Artist Awards 2025), and the K-POP Award at the Korea Culture and Entertainment Awards.
Having passed a meaningful 1,000 days of daily growth like this, attention is focused on Xikers' next move as they leap to become a "global artist".<
