The group xikers (Minjae, Junmin, Soomin, Jinseok, Hyunwoo, Jeonghoon, Se-eun, Yujun, Hunter, and Ye-chan) is set to make a fresh leap forward.
xikers will release their eighth mini-album, "ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING," at 6 p.m. on November 2, and kick off promotional activities for the comeback with the title track, "DIENAMITE."
The new album features six tracks, including the title song, as well as "Go," "Mask off," "One," "DUMB," and "Sanctuary." "DIENAMITE" is a song that captures xikers standing on a new path beyond established order, depicting the moment when their growing desires lead to a precarious state on the verge of explosion.

Leader Minjae participated in the lyrics, composition, and arrangement of the title track, as well as the composition and arrangement of the included track "DUMB." This is the first time a song directly produced by Minjae has been selected as an xikers title track, with Soomin and Ye-chan also contributing to the title track's lyrics. The three members participated in writing the lyrics for all tracks on the new album.
Previously, xikers released a comeback trailer, tracklist, album preview, concept posters, and two music video teasers. The first teaser featured members discovering Hunter tied up in a space covered with flyers searching for xikers, along with an image of Hunter biting into dynamite. The second teaser included members uncovering a rock guitar after "Digging," as well as part of the choreography for the new song.

Minjae, Soomin, and Ye-chan participated in the rap unit content "JUST FOR FUN," while Junmin, Yujun, and Hunter took part in "JUST FOR FUN (Remix)." Jinseok, Hyunwoo, Jeonghoon, and Se-eun presented the vocal unit content "RUNNERS HIGH."
xikers will hold a comeback showcase at MyungHwa Live Hall in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, at 8 p.m. on the 2nd to meet with fans.
