The group xikers (Minjae, Junmin, Soomin, Jinseok, Hyunwoo, Jeonghoon, Se-eun, Yujun, Hunter, Ye-chan) dazzlingly adorned the cover of a fashion magazine.
xikers appeared on the cover of the November issue of the fashion magazine "THE STAR," released on October 27. Their intense charisma and further matured charm drew attention.
In this photoshoot conducted under the concept of "xikers in RED," xikers perfectly executed sophisticated styling centered around red and black. The members, from chic suits to intense leather jackets, wore various outfits in their own unique atmosphere, revealing the individuality of 10 people with 10 different colors.










They drew attention by completing a unique atmosphere using various props such as apples, playing cards, and chess pieces. With black clothing contrasting against the red background, they evoked not only a refined mood but also a mysterious tension through sharp gazes and restrained poses. Furthermore, they proved their ability to handle a wide range of concepts by freely moving from playful boyish charm to mature and fatalistic appeal.
In an interview accompanying the photoshoot, Ye-chan shared his impressions, saying, "xikers usually have a mischievous image, but it was a pleasant experience to be able to show off a stylish and sexy side through this photoshoot." Jeonghoon also added, "This intense concept suits the members better than expected, so I want to try it more often in the future."
xikers, who are set to release their eighth mini album "ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING" on November 2, also shared stories about the new album. Leader Minjae, who participated in the lyrics and composition of the title track "DIENAMITE," revealed behind-the-scenes details of the work, stating, "It was three months during which I poured out more energy than ever before, but I feel very good because it seems we created a satisfying result after going through such a rigorous period."

Regarding the title track, Ye-chan said, "It is powerful and full of energy. It is a song that evokes an image of a rascal," and pointed out expressions and performance as key points to watch. Junmin also stated, "Through this album, xikers' musical maturity has increased," heightening anticipation for their comeback.
The strong teamwork among the members was also evident. Jinseok expressed confidence by saying, "xikers is composed of 10 members who are all close friends, and there is absolutely no chance that rumors of discord will arise." In addition, the members shared various episodes, such as their first impressions of each other and hidden charms, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Starting with rap, performance, and vocal unit content, xikers sequentially released diverse promotions, including a comeback trailer, concept posters in three versions, and an album preview reminiscent of a horror game. As they showcased not only the individual capabilities and broad musical spectrum of each member but also a unique worldview that transcends reality and unreality, anticipation is building for the further expanded music and performance to be unfolded in the new album.
xikers will release their eighth mini album "ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING" at 6 p.m. on November 2 and make their comeback.
