The group Xikers has made a comeback to the music scene as a complete 10-member group.

On Nov. 4, Xikers released their fifth mini album 'House of Tricky: Spur' and returned to their global fans.

Xikers' new album 'House of Tricky: Spur', published about seven months after their last release, continues the 'House of Tricky' series they have steadily built since their debut. Notably, member Jong-hoon has returned to team activities after about two years, garnering even hotter responses.

The title track 'Breathe' embodies Xikers' unique charisma, accurately targeting in a harsh environment. Members Min-jae, Su-min, and Ye-chan, who have consistently participated in writing songs, also contributed to the lyrics this time, infusing Xikers' music colors and delicate emotions.

In addition, the new album includes a total of five diverse tracks such as 'You Hide We Seek', 'Highway', 'Roller Coaster', and 'Rock Your Body', showcasing Xikers' Unick vocal color and wide music spectrum.

With upgraded music and performances as a complete group, Xikers has announced their successful return as a '5th generation top performer', introducing their new album 'House of Tricky: Spur' through a Q&A.

Here is the Q&A regarding Xikers' fifth mini album 'House of Tricky: Spur'.

Q. How do you feel about your comeback with the new album 'House of Tricky: Spur'?

A. (Hyun-woo) I'm really relieved to have Jong-hoon back, and it feels like a new beginning. I really want to show our complete group's stage soon, and we plan to meet you with various activities, so please show a lot of interest.

Q. Could you introduce the title track 'Breathe'?

A. (Se-eun) 'Breathe' is a trap genre song that you will feel is sharp and intense. The harsh environment is indeed our home ground, and even in the situation where everyone is struggling, the message contained in it is that we push through without any issue.

Q. What are the key points to watch for in the 'Breathe' performance, and could you explain the focal choreography?

A. (Hunter) The song is titled 'Breathe', which means 'breath', and the theme of breath is placed throughout the choreography. It would be fun to see which choreography relates to 'breath.'

Q. What do you think is a keyword that represents 'House of Tricky: Spur'?

A. (Jun-min) The title of the album, 'Spur.' I want to express a stimulating presence as it literally means. For someone living passionately, I hope it serves as a stimulation that adds heat, and for someone living a calm life, I want to be a stimulus that intensifies the temperature of life. I want to make an impression on the public with this stimulating presence.

Q. This album follows the 'House of Tricky' series you've built since your debut. What kind of image did you want to capture?

A. (Min-jae) This is the fifth chapter of the 'House of Tricky' series that started from our debut album, and we aimed to propel ourselves in the direction we chose, providing people with a new stimulus. Including the title track 'Breathe', a total of five songs are included, and you can experience an upgraded Xikers identity.

Q. How do you feel and what are your resolutions for your return to team activities after two years?

A. (Jong-hoon) I have been consistently recovering while resting. With the support of many people, I am glad to greet you in a healthy appearance. I'm very happy to be welcomed back after a long time. Finally, we will perform as 10 Xikers, so please look forward to the chemistry of the complete group.

Q. Is there a specific charm or strength unique to Xikers that you want to showcase through 'House of Tricky: Spur'?

A. (Su-min) Xikers is a team that creates music with a distinct identity. Based on a unique concept that allows you to recognize a song as 'Ah, it's a Xikers song' after hearing it once, we are now releasing our fifth album. We showcase our color through intense sound, enhancing both the listening and viewing experience with our performances. We believe our clear identity is what defines us.

Q. Are there any reactions or descriptors you hope to hear from this activity, or goals you wish to achieve?

A. (Ye-chan) I want to be a 'performance house' that has a strong and exhilarating charm that keeps people coming back. Since our debut, Xikers has filled the stage with energetic performances. I hope many people recognize how much we love the stage.

Q. Is there a special episode or memorable moment during the album preparation process, such as recording, jacket, or music video shooting?

A. (Yu-jun) During the filming of the music video, there was a scene with ice cream, and I really wanted to eat that ice cream. So, after finishing that scene, I remember eating it right away. It would be fun to look for the scene I mentioned in the music video.

Q. Starting in May in Seoul, you will embark on a world tour. What are your feelings and resolutions?

A. (Jin-sik) Fortunately, about seven months after our debut, we held our first world tour, meeting many Roady fans in cities across Japan, the U.S., Europe, and Australia. We are soon approaching our second world tour, and I believe we will be able to showcase even more diverse aspects based on the experiences and confidence we've built. I will do my best not to disappoint the audience who come to see us.

Q. Please say a word to the Roady fans who have been eagerly waiting for Xikers' complete return.

A. (Xikers) I want to start by thanking the Roady who have been waiting for us all this time. We will repay you with amazing stages and performances. I hope we can support each other like we do now and that you will feel a lot of energy and happiness through this activity. We will work hard to create many happy memories, so please keep watching!
