The Kulture Study EP 9: xikers 'DO OR DIE' MV REACTION & REVIEW 

KQ knows how to keep clear concepts and promote their groups properly. I'm so excited to see Xikers continue to grow under them. It's crazy that a newly debuted group with only two mini albums is easily one of my ult groups so quickly. They don't have a single miss in their discography and they are such a fun and cute group of kids. As an Atiny, it's fun to adopt Ateez's little brother group, too.

kq and those last 30 seconds goddamn

15:20 you’re talking about MINJAE the small BOMBASTIC LEADER and HUNTER the newest killer performer. Also, thank you for checking out xikers even for your busy schedule. They’ve just released the MV for their second TT “HOMEBOY” which is less energetic and explosive than this one but it’s more emotional and meaningful for them and for us, ROADY (xikers’ fandom name), because of one single shot, an empty space was actually full of meaning and full of emotions. I will just add, xikers is TEN.

the taller one who impressed you every time is Hunter, the main dancer from Thailand, and the other one you love is Minjae, main rapper and leader❤

They have amazing live stages and studio choom and relay dance!! Also they just released a mv for Homeboy which is amazing!

I've been putting off watching Xikers' mvs because I ain't got time to be sucked into another group and you know Ateez wasn't a fluke - KQ is just that good. And I love Xikers' albums, they're on regular rotation. But then when your notif for this mv came up I clicked it on a whim, bc your reactions are great, and godDAMNit imma have to learn their names now. How rude to be that charismatic right in my face children. Also, you're right, KQ does rock like no other and rock is my og love and my biggest weakness. Thank you for your time, I hope you're doing well!

I think in the first album reaction you also said Minjae might be your favorite! Also I definitely recommend their comeback showcase for the performances it has the most clear vocals and also they did a medley of their first album on there along with three songs from the new album, Koong, Do or Die, and Homeboy (which they just released an MV for aswell)

“THAT GOD DAMN BUILDUP IS INSA- okay I love you, who are you? What’s your name?” Killed me😂😭my reaction to Minjae every time.

SAME!!! My reaction was like yours. They are so good! These kids are destined for greatness. I know you’re busy, but I live for your reactions.

I had the same reaction! I haven't been this excited about a boy group (particularly the execution of their concept) in a WHILE

Rap Line: Minjae - deep voiced mf, leader, short (he's the one that made you go "Who is that rapper, i need names"). Sumin - green-hair in this video, smooth af, Mingi's son. Yechan - maknae, baby, possibly the best rapper in 5th gen. Hunter - eye-catching, multi-lingual, 5th gen best dancer(?), excellent facial expressions, our Thai boy. Seeun - pink hair (has a crown like the character from Where The Wild Things Are) *HAD TO EDIT SUMIN'S NAME CUZ I'M AN IDIOT. HE'S STILL MINGI'S SON THOUGH.

xikers are one of the strongest rookies since probably stray kids. I have a lot of hope for and expectations from them.

i got to see xikers last year when they performed before ateez on tour and was blown away now i get to see them on their first tour in a couple weeks and im so excited and proud of them

no lie, one of the BEST concerts I've ever been to! these boys are going big places, and I love watching it happen! 😍

i'm SO happy you checked the names of the members that really impressed you at the end ^^ can't wait till you learn the others too

The rappee that your ask is minjae. He's the leader of xikers. He is make his own music too like hongjoong

The whole album is sooo good! You need to check it out! Also they have MV for Homeboy and a cool animation for ticky's secret! But you should really check their albums cause their B sides can be titles! This cb a member is missing due to leg injury

I’m seeing them this month and I’m so FREAKING EXCITEDDDD!!! 🥳

You should watch them live - especially performing XIKEY!

What a rookie group !

why all the small guy in KQ always be the ones who goes crazy

Thank you for covering Xikers! I'm not normally into BG music too much but these dudes have an energy that is unparalleled IMO. Wish nothing but the best for them Wonder if Rocket Punch - Boom is on your radar 👀

From my pov this is the perfect first cb for xikers, the rock vibe with their energy and still feeling like a xikers feelings.... it's my new fav song from them.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on xikers new songs: We Don't Stop and Red Sun if you've checked them out. Also, I think you'd love the MV for ATEEZ's Not Okay. Hope you are well. ❤

Xikers comeback in january letsgooooo

I know you have a lot of catching up to do, but I definitely recommend watching their predebut dance cover of Industry Baby on SBS--I think it’s fair to say that one made Hunter jump onto pretty much everyone's radar, but it also shows how cohesive they are as a group, and it's a good opportunity to watch Minjae lose his mind lol--and they've all grown so much since then! (Yechan literally 😊) And for a full-on experience of the three rappers--Minjae, Sumin, and maknae Yechan--you can watch their predebut rap single Canvas. Also I just want to say it's so fun that in the debut album they were "feeling like a Rockstar" and in this mv they ARE rockstars--just, you know, the zombie reviving kind 😁 Thanks for reviewing Xikers and I'm so glad you're as excited about them as we are!

Hi PD! Was wondering if you've seen their recent comebacks! They had two korean cbs "We don't Stop" (with Red Sun as a promoted b-side) and Witch (Bittersweet also has a MV) And they also had their Japanese debut with Tsuki Lunatic. Would love to see your reaction to these songs!

17:41 that pause to say "okay i love you, what's your name" is me

PD reaction always make me lose my mind😂🤣 its so fun to see PD losing his mind like us (Roady), im laughing hard when PD "okay i love you who are you" 🤣😂🤣😂 He is Minjae, the shortest one but spicy, rapper leader, easy to say he is like Hongjoong 2.0🙈🙈 the other one in purple is Hunter one and only our thai boy.. the center you ask for is our main vocal Jinsik(also visual 😉)

Please Reaction "POW" Pow is Boy Groups from GRID Entertainment, a label under 131 Label of the boys 'Hanbin' or 'B.I.' The song "Favorite" It's a pre-release song before its debut on October 11th. And the song "Amazing" is a song released to show performance There are 5 members, including 'Yorch' a former trainee A.

XIKERS are the best new boygroup since Stray Kids and Ateez, and it's debatably better than them both.

isn’t do or die a bside track??

XG'S HESONO-O INTRO VIDEO, X-GENE LYRICS AND PUPPET SHOW MV + STUDIO CHOOM PERFORMANCE VIDEO PLS PLS PLSSS

I've been looking forward to this.

Your impact is profound! 🌟 ♦ "Dream big and dare to fail."

my recommendation/favorite songs for this album: Skater, Run, Koong

I love xikers!! I haven't been really into kpop lately, the last rookies i stanned were DKB in 2020 💀💀💀 I'm SO EXCITED to see them in like 2 weeks omg

You should watch their dance practice “DIE” version. They do it sped up and I was so shocked at how well they were able to do it. They are honestly monster performers. I really hope they get rookie of the year.

When I first saw this MV, I immediately thought of Scott Pilgrim too but it was such a niche reference I didn't know what to do with that information so THANK U FOR AGREEING LIKE YES IT IS SO SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD, i love it sm

I love it! But I personally liked Koong more. All in all its an AMAZING first cb. Their visuals and inspirations in the 90s was super cool. Plus, PD just summarize what I think the greatest Kq quality: they know how to brings the best perfrmance of their idols and it really feels unmatched. Its their thing

Xikers is killin' it

Thank you so much for reaction xikers 💜

I hope you can check out HOMEBOY MV too :)

This is great! I personally like Koong the most so far, it has just right amount of consistency and switcharoo for me. But I see how prevalent this (a little more chaotic and experimental) sound is now with the latest SKZ album as well and I'm just happy that Xikers are on top of the trend and also have a very distinct sound, something many of us were concerned after Tricky House sounded a bit too close to Ateez. Definitely not the case anymore!

WAIT PD HAS A KOONG REACTION VID?!?!

Yup minjae!

react homeboy by xikers pls

That’s dope i swear
