I think their debut is very good they definitely have great stage presence and don’t feel like rookies, the whole album is amazing and what makes it even better is that hongjoong is one of their main producers.
from what i understand their concept is goblins (the MV title directly translated is 'goblin house'). So unlike western 'ghosts/spirits' which are associated with the death of a human, in Korean lore they're nature spirits/gods (or smth like that from what i've been reading online lol) that's why you see the blue flames throughout the MV since the goblins are associated with blue flames in lore. They can also transform into different things and take on different forms and so on. I find their concept super interesting and ever since following them back in August i've been super excited for when they finally debut! This song they've performed before as the opening act for Ateez before and they have a DP for this, so i'm familliar with the song but hearing it with the MV just hits different lol. I love this song a lot, ever since i first heard it. And the choreo for it is insane as well, they're all really good dancers and performers. The whole debut abum to me is a masterpiece, it's bop after bop and i hope they'll do even better in the future I'm super super proud of them and what they've done for this album :') ps. there will be another MV for the second title track 'ROCKSTAR' dropping as well from what i've heard, super looking forward to that as well!!!
SAMEEE. i was with them 5 or 6 months ago and im so proud of their debut. also is rockstar mv really coming? im super excited because rockstar and the doorbell ringing are one of my top songs in the album
I heard some discourse about a second mv for the second title track yk it wouldn't be too surprising since best seniors Ateez also did double mvs for double title tracks. If there ISN'T going to be an mv for rockstar i'm going to have to write a strongly worded email to kq because i love that song so much and it NEEDS an mv!! (my fav songs are rockstar and xikey) I am so happy with all the attention they're getting and how many people genuinely like them and their music it brings me so much joy I'm so glad i'm here so early on to be able to see them grow and shine even more in the future :(((
xikers are definintly going to be that FIRE rookie groups, I'm a stan and they are my ults now I cant wait for award shows and concert. im so proud :)))
Normally I can tell wether I'll like a song just by hearing the first 30 seconds of it and this song didn't disappoint as I fell in love with it straight away and I love the electric/EDM sound of it aswell. I also love the rapping and choreo too and its so catchy😊
I've been stanning xikers since pre debut and I'm super happy that they debuted and I've been waiting for them to debut for the longest! This may be biased because they are one of my semi ult groups but I loved this album so much it's my fav fav album released so far this year(there are some that are like a tier albums but xikers album is super it's s tier it's like everything I wanted and more). They also have a dance practice of tricky house if you want to check it out and I don't know if you knew but they were the opening show for the ateez concerts and this was one of the songs they performed! And also when you said it having some sort of ateez/kq vibe to it fun fact hongjoong actually helped in writing all the songs of this album!
trust me seb, listen to the whole album especially i think youll like "xikey" cause thats my favorite song from the album! i actually loved this debut and yea it did remind me of ateez a lot, in some way it has a similar feel to pirate king
For people that don’t like it on the first listen ( which there is a lot of them ), once you hear just the audio or watch the performance, it’ll grow on you.
Korean goblins (dokkaebi) are nature spirits/gods that can inhabit objects and have special powers. They can be mischievous and can also be helpful. They're associated with blue flame (Wikipedia), so it may be that the blue flames around the man in some shots are the members in their natural form. My take: while it appears the goblins are being mischievous, I believe they're being mischievous in a helpful way. The man is working so late that no one is left on the subway by the time he leaves work. He looks stuck in the daily grind of life. I think exposing him to music, the arcade, dancing, and the carnival is their attempt to help him remember what it feels to enjoy life again. At the end of the bridge, they say "tell me what you want. Tell me what you need." and a car appears. I think they gave him what they sensed he wanted. The man smiles ear to ear as he drifts around the parking lot. Minjae's last words are "don't forget." This could have double meaning: 1) "Don't forget" it's our time now (we've debuted). 2) "Don't forget" to have fun and enjoy your life (within the context of the MV). I think they left because they had accomplished their mission. Apparently, goblins are known to inhabit household items like tools and brooms. I think the ten brooms at the end are proof he hadn't been dreaming. He had actually encountered 10 goblins. They may be using the term Tricky instead of goblin because international fans can have different ideas of what a goblin is (like Lord of the Rings). Tricky gives the general idea. EDIT: this theory is not originally mine it was from a different user but i think its a fantastic theory
i mean hongjoong and eden with some other producers produced all their songs and the three rappers of xiker sumin minjae and yechan wrote their own raps but the song is produced by the ones that produce ateez songs so i feel like thats why they give so much of ateez vibes
I LOVED this song from the first listen. It reminds me of the time I enjoyed watching Bollywood movies for the song & dance many years ago. I'm so excited for these boys. They have worked so hard, performed at so many venues alrdy as KQ Fellaz 2, made countless number of tiktoks/reels/shorts 😅 The future is bright, xikers! Fighting! Edited to add post-watch: Heads up Seb! The mini-album is 1000% energy. I've watched the live stages of Xikey and Rockstar too from the debut fan showcase and mcountdown. These boys ATE. (I however would probably throw up right after) The choreo for these songs are 🔥 🔥 🔥 good luck to the cover grps planning to attempt these!
SEBBB we went to the same ateez concert in newark (and i think it was at every concert) but they brought xikers on tour with them and they opened for ateez, they performed tricky house and geek (which were both released predebut) but i think u said u got there when ateez were coming out (i could be wrong) so u probably missed them preforming 🥲🥲
Has bn a minute since I watched the concert vlog but I think yeah I rmbr tt Seb missed the opening act. 😢 I'm so happy that these boys had all these opportunities to perform in big arenas (the tour stops, the Kcon stages) as KQ Fellaz 2. They are monster rookies right now
OMG YESSSS!!! YOU REACTED TO THEM!!!! I was going to make them a recommendation for you to check them out if you didn't hear of them. They may be new, but they are amazing and their MV was so fun to watch!
they're concept are like Korean goblins (which are tricksters) also the song is inspired by Bollywood. said by Eden. You missed them at the atz concert cuz they were the opening act
I was a lil overwhelmed in the fisrt listen tbh, but all it took was a second listen and watching the dance practice to make this song a permanent in my playlist , plus every time I rewatch the MV I fall more in love with the members
Your honesty is my favourite seb .. Tricky house is catchy song for me , i like it but i love xikey more .. The song itself so powerful and the dance ?? It’s soooo good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 they sang it live with that choreo .. Highly recommended ❤
The fact that Captain Hongjoong was a part of each and every song in the album in writing and production makes me happy! Those kids are talented and Hongjoong is a master! KQ doesn't play around with its groups! bravo
Is KQ formula yeah because you may feel alot of "Block B" energy in the production... mainly at 05:52 yup. I feel and probably I am pretty early to say but "Xikers" has the best Rappers of 5th Gen?? I think so.
The same people was working on this song so it’s no wonder that it sounds a bit like Ateez. However I think that the only similarity is the vocal arrangement cuz Edenery team likes to add A LOT of different background vocals
i think it sounds a bit “ateez like” bc hongjoong had a big part in producing it, along with the rest of the album. all the songs are good, but of course everyone has their own opinions 🤷🏻♀️
Its very definitely "we're related to ATEEZ" but 100% not "we're trying to copy ATEEZ". They're insane, and as a stern atiny (they're ny ult), I'm so hooked
Saw them during an ATEEZ Concert and they did well. The video has a lot going on and will look at it again. It’s not bad but think they attempt to deliver a lot at one time. It’s not bad at all but may need a second or third listen to get the vibe❤ Nevertheless great job guys look forward to more hits❤
I think their debut is very good they definitely have great stage presence and don’t feel like rookies, the whole album is amazing and what makes it even better is that hongjoong is one of their main producers.
♡ I just found that out recently and it made me go "oooOOOooo" ♡
When they did this in the ateez concert i was so hype. Hearing it live is absolutely insaneee
from what i understand their concept is goblins (the MV title directly translated is 'goblin house'). So unlike western 'ghosts/spirits' which are associated with the death of a human, in Korean lore they're nature spirits/gods (or smth like that from what i've been reading online lol) that's why you see the blue flames throughout the MV since the goblins are associated with blue flames in lore.

Hongjoong produced and helped write lyrics for all 7 songs on the album.
Tricky House is influenced by Indian music-the instruments used and style.
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
There was a dance practice before debut, and honestly I think the choreo is one of the most impressive of 2022.
Yes! Literally dizzying choreo 🔥
That one move they do, was even done by San for one of The Real performances. Definitely in homage to xikers
@@micahlazo8011 Oh do you have any idea which performance? There are so many I have no idea which
Hongjoong helped produce this song, ofc it sounds like their songs 😭
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Особенно напоминает The real
The energy of the song? yes but Xikers have their own styles with their fresh, young vibes.
@@lidgardisthien343 perfectly said 😌
Yeah cuz it kinda gave me an ateez or kq vibes
Best debut album ever!!! Love that Ateez now have some little brothers to keep them company at KQ 🤗 Super proud of these boys!! ❤️🫰🏽
xikers are definintly going to be that FIRE rookie groups, I'm a stan and they are my ults now I cant wait for award shows and concert. im so proud :)))
Block B was picked up by Kq once they sued their original label, kq has a sub label they created for them, but they’re under kq family
Normally I can tell wether I'll like a song just by hearing the first 30 seconds of it and this song didn't disappoint as I fell in love with it straight away and I love the electric/EDM sound of it aswell.
I also love the rapping and choreo too and its so catchy😊
Check out their album's B-side.. As usual, KQ artist's b-side songs are hidden gems.
For real I actually like xikey and Oh My Gosh a lot more than Tricky House tbh
Rockstar for me!!
SHANTY SHANTY YAYAYA ~🎶🎧
I've been stanning xikers since pre debut and I'm super happy that they debuted and I've been waiting for them to debut for the longest!

Yeah fr same
Aww never seen an actual debut! They did so good!! Edit from the future: I CAN NOT STOP WATCHING THE DANCE PRACTICE FOR THIS!!!! ♡
trust me seb, listen to the whole album especially i think youll like "xikey" cause thats my favorite song from the album! i actually loved this debut and yea it did remind me of ateez a lot, in some way it has a similar feel to pirate king
They performed this song at the ATEEZ concerts. They opened for them.
Wait didnt seb go to the concert?!😅

Hongjoong helped produce arrange and write lyrics for the whole album
You need to see xikey by them it's soo firee
i mean hongjoong and eden with some other producers produced all their songs and the three rappers of xiker sumin minjae and yechan wrote their own raps but the song is produced by the ones that produce ateez songs so i feel like thats why they give so much of ateez vibes
I get what u mean and I really hope they won’t only be known as ateez little brothers but have their own name. I definitely see potential in them
hongjoong is one of their main producers so it makes sense as to why it sounds very “ateez” lol
They slayed so hard like finally they debuted jdjdfj
its grows on you. the same happened to me, i wasnt sure at first now im singing shanty shanty yaya ya all day HELP ME
They are under ATEEZ company, where all the producers there are the same, of course it sounds like ATEEZ.
It’s not even funny how good the b-sides are. Like what hello???
I've been waiting to finally be able to streak this 🙌🏽 got to see them with Ateez last year and I'm so happy for their debut! 👌🏽🙌🏽
You should watch their stage for "XIKEY", they'll blow your mind.
Finally!!! A kpop reaction channel that actually gives their HONEST opinions. That’s so refreshing
Yess the performance is AMAZING
The whole album>>>>>>>>>
omg yes xikers content, i love it!!
Their lore is basically their super power is called tricky and they are these supernatural beings who go around messing things up
I LOVED this song from the first listen. It reminds me of the time I enjoyed watching Bollywood movies for the song & dance many years ago. I'm so excited for these boys. They have worked so hard, performed at so many venues alrdy as KQ Fellaz 2, made countless number of tiktoks/reels/shorts 😅
The future is bright, xikers! Fighting!
Edited to add post-watch:
Heads up Seb! The mini-album is 1000% energy. I've watched the live stages of Xikey and Rockstar too from the debut fan showcase and mcountdown. These boys ATE. (I however would probably throw up right after) The choreo for these songs are 🔥 🔥 🔥 good luck to the cover grps planning to attempt these!
I LOVE THIS DEBUT
I love the song so much 😭
It’s the energy that I love about this song. Xikers packed a punch. I hope you react to another Xiker mv down the road.
SEBBB we went to the same ateez concert in newark (and i think it was at every concert) but they brought xikers on tour with them and they opened for ateez, they performed tricky house and geek (which were both released predebut) but i think u said u got there when ateez were coming out (i could be wrong) so u probably missed them preforming 🥲🥲
Has bn a minute since I watched the concert vlog but I think yeah I rmbr tt Seb missed the opening act. 😢
I'm so happy that these boys had all these opportunities to perform in big arenas (the tour stops, the Kcon stages) as KQ Fellaz 2. They are monster rookies right now
you should check out the album is full of bangers and Hongjoong wrote and produce for the album
Idk how to explain it but this song changed my life
so apparently these blue things that are flying over that man are xikers but they are ghosts.
it’s giving the goblin things from thunderous
I think they are goblins but these Korean goblins are more like tricksters than the creatures that try to kill you in western lore.
@@kimdaniel2601 yea its dokkaebi
Solid Debute
Block B is on Seven Seasons, which is a sub-label under KQ.
seb they will have also an MV (idk when) its called ROCKSTAR
They performed it on Kcon! The video is on here you should give it a watch 😊 rockstar and xikey are my favourites on the album!
WHAT THIS MV TRYING TO TELL IS...
this 10 boy's (Xikers) is Goblin... they play with Your mind and they like to having Fun with you.
You gotta listen to the whole album it’s extremely different
i stan already lol
They’re so cool!
Oooh i was waiting for you to react! They are fun, aren’t they? ❤
OMG YESSSS!!! YOU REACTED TO THEM!!!! I was going to make them a recommendation for you to check them out if you didn't hear of them. They may be new, but they are amazing and their MV was so fun to watch!
I did watch this mv but didn't finish I just finished watching it because you react to it
I LOVEEEEE THIS MV
They performed before ateez during the American leg of the tour as an opener so I kinda agree its a crowd hype
OMG YESSS im so glad u reacted to yhisssss
They are goblins 😍
they're concept are like Korean goblins (which are tricksters) also the song is inspired by Bollywood. said by Eden. You missed them at the atz concert cuz they were the opening act
I love your reactions Sebastine i love so much xikers
hongjoong is heavily involved in the production of this song so this is why its very ateez/kq coded lol
I was a lil overwhelmed in the fisrt listen tbh, but all it took was a second listen and watching the dance practice to make this song a permanent in my playlist , plus every time I rewatch the MV I fall more in love with the members
Your honesty is my favourite seb .. Tricky house is catchy song for me , i like it but i love xikey more .. The song itself so powerful and the dance ?? It’s soooo good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 they sang it live with that choreo .. Highly recommended ❤
Me encantó muchísimo, supero mis expectativas 🎉
Gracias por comentar ❤

Those kids are talented and Hongjoong is a master!
KQ doesn't play around with its groups! bravo
I'm 100% a xikers stan now! this was too good but you gotta check out their song xikey its fire too! 🔥🔥🔥
Is KQ formula yeah because you may feel alot of "Block B" energy in the production... mainly at 05:52 yup.

you should check xikey performance
Debut song.
I was searching for a UA-cam reaction to them and I should’ve know that you would’ve been on it ASAP 🫶🏾
The concerned giggle 😂
i think it sounds a bit “ateez like” bc hongjoong had a big part in producing it, along with the rest of the album. all the songs are good, but of course everyone has their own opinions 🤷🏻♀️
💓💓💓
Its very definitely "we're related to ATEEZ" but 100% not "we're trying to copy ATEEZ". They're insane, and as a stern atiny (they're ny ult), I'm so hooked
They got double title. Rockstar and this one. I think Rockstar better than Tricky house! I hope you reaction to Rockstar oneday!!
If you understand the concept of the video, you'll like it even more.
(btw this literally was helped produced with hongjoong LMAO.)
Nah I thought this was a fantastic and strong debut! But respect your opinion.
You should watch their stage debute
WE NEED AN ALBUM REACTION SEB
plss watch the dance practiceee🙏🙏
dude block b MADE kq exist (miss them
Saw them during an ATEEZ Concert and they did well. The video has a lot going on and will look at it again. It’s not bad but think they attempt to deliver a lot at one time.
It’s not bad at all but may need a second or third listen to get the vibe❤ Nevertheless great job guys look forward to more hits❤

you reposted?
apparently
@@whoisshepard saw is community post, apparently because he flashed us?
might be whezn he stood up
I love this group. I believe they have Ateez energy but they sound NOTHING like Ateez. It a new sound and it’s playful and I love it
First
Out of interest did you like PTD by BTS?
