Boy group xikers has heightened anticipation for their comeback by unveiling the first concept poster for their eighth mini album 'ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING'.

Their agency, KQ Entertainment, released the first concept poster for the new album through official social media channels from the 9th to the 11th.

In the revealed posters, xikers pulled off structural silhouettes centered on black with hard-edged detailing. Leather outfits accented with sharp spikes and chain accessories created a cold, controlled atmosphere, while each member exuded charisma through distinct poses and intense gazes.

The background staging also captures attention. A surreal cityscape blended with black sculptural objects evokes an eerie mood, expressing the anxious and ambiguous situation of boys who must continue making choices within a mission where the next coordinates are unknown, sparking curiosity about the new album.

Meanwhile, xikers' eighth mini album 'ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING' will be released on November 2 at 6 p.m. through various online music streaming platforms.
