Hunter stands out by a mile. His performance is amazing. He reminds me of Chaewon of Le Sserafim, or Hong Joon of Ateez. Yechan (his name is Yechan, I looked it up!) is a stunningly good rapper, like I said, he reminds me of Han of Stray Kids. Seeun stood out to me for a deeper voice. I am having trouble disambiguating the rest of them at this point. (Ten! There are ten of them! I try to not follow groups with more than eight members!!!)

So far xikers's concept is dokkaebi, or Korean trickster goblins. I am not equipped to explain the nuances and implications of that. But it's a decent fantasy/sci-fi cousin to Ateez's dimension-hopping dystopian freedom fighter concept. And KQ, as always, understands that costumes need killing parts and/or point moves, too. In the stage performances and the M/V for "Tricky House," xikers's costumes stand out.
In this second group, KQ has made the decision to not widen their brand but to absoLUTEly double down on it. Their first and hitherto only group is Ateez! And Ateez's brand is:
1. Utterly insane talent
2. Deeply convoluted lore and backstory
3. Wild, unmatched, performances
4. A dark/SFF/over-the-top concept
5. Goofy-ass guys who become ethereal performance demons on cue
And the new group, xikers, appears to be investing in the same direction.
This morning, in between cleaning the house before the cleaners get here, (Because this is absolutely a thing. Like, if I want them to sweep and mop the floor, I have to pick up all the throw rugs and floor mats, right.) I have been deep-diving into KQ's second group, xikers.
"Tricky House" is just fantastic. Hunter is mesmerizing! And, um, Yuchen (????) is a stunning rapper. Reminds me of Han from Stray Kids.
(There are ten of them, I am TRYING to learn their names!!)
