For the people who don't understand the concept : They are 19 years old according to Korean culture. BTW there concept is that they are ( dokkebies ) means Goblins. In Korean tricky house means Goblins house. If you play with them they will reward with various gifts which you need [ like money, car etc...] Which you can see in MV. But if you will be on there bad side then you don't want to know what will happen with you. In Korea, After they are done they transform themselves in brooms which we see in the end. In there name X stands for coordinates and also X is also refer as ten in roman numbers and then the rest stands for hikers. There is actually a storyline something like that Mr X has stole there dreams and they are trying to get it back. And we sure are supporting them in that😁. TBH KQ entertainment is actually very smart in debuting it's artist firstly and importantly that they are not minors secondly all of them are great performers. And the storyline are just incredible.

Another Korean reactor couple said that Goblins can turn into brooms or come out of brooms or something of that nature, which is why the brooms are there in the ending shot of the music video. They also made the point that everything in the video involves the 'Main Character' winning something in some way. The stuffed animal machine: he has all of the toys at the end of the shot. He smacks the ATM with the microphone 'bat' and all the money comes out of it like winning the lottery. The car is just there for him to get into and drive around in. These are intentional references throughout the video about Goblins granting people who play with them great fortunes. Once they're done with you, though, they will take it all back, which is why everything is gone at the end of the video and they've turned into brooms. Really smart use of known mythology, and such a cool concept to have for a debut!

Producer Eden said that this song was very heavily inspired/influenced by Bollywood and you can definitely hear the Bollywood sound and rhythm in the whole song. So the "shanty" lyrics might tie in with that, too, along with their concept as goblins and tricksters: Because in Hinduism, "Shanti" is a Sanskrit word meaning "peace" or "inner peace". So, since the man indulged in playing with these 10 goblins, they are now chanting "peace" to him at the end of his wild journey with them. 😉❤️

"It feels like Ateez hasn't changed their concept since debut" That's lore, I believe. Like, when a group has a lore like Ateez does they can have many different concepts but it won't feel like they change their "concept" because it's engrained into people's minds already. And I think Xikers are going to do the same thing. I'd be devastated if they don't, honestly, because we already got the perfect base for a fantastic lore, like Ateez', with the explanation behind their group name and their debut album. And istg if their lores don't overlap at some point Imma flip several tables.

I agree with blaire, its very interesting to see how similar, yet different ateez and xikers are. Its almost like rl siblings, like you and with your siblings obv are different individuals, yet there's something that makes you similar, either your look, behavior, etc. I think what makes xikers feels similar with ateez not only bcs they're very good at performing, also their storyline and the message they want to convey almost compliment each other. I'm not into ateez storyline tbh (bcs its freakin confusing and complicated, my brain capacity couldn't cope with their lore 😅😅) but if i'm gonna take conclusion, they have dream and on journey to reach their dream, but society seems to go against them. While xikers, they are on their way finding their dream bcs their dream are stolen by X. Ofc ateez and xikers using different approach to tell their stories, ateez with pirates and xikers with dokkaebi, but both are the actual realities of young people. Some of us maybe in our journey to makes our dream come true, but other people, like parents, friends, or even government go against us. And some of us may used to have dream, but bcs other people "stealing" that dream by underestimate it, we lost confidence and not know what our dreams are. Dang, that's a very long comment 😅😅 but i think we all agree that KQ definitely amazing company that could create these 2 amazing group. So, bravo KQ 👏👏👏

@@ubu8 Their storyline involves dreams though. Ateez is not only using 1984 for their lore. Their is inception ( the firm), Peter pan and e.t.c and all these stories are all in writing in an dreamlike reality especially inception and Peter pan. Both have character their storyline happen in a dream. 1984 is a fictional prediction of the future during the time War II, the time he was lived. Dream may not refer to being asleep but to seek, which Ateez embodies both meanings in their storyline. They're videos like inception, illusion, dreamers where they fall asleep or wake up and deja Vu and other song titles that have words close to dreams. Fever series also starts off with inception and the diary film one introduce the cormer to hongjoong as though he is asleep. Inception is also directed like a fever dream and the album concept is about young Ateez finding their dreams or lose it. Treasure 1st song on the 1st album, Maddox made a statement saying "treasure can be anything we want" and said us on the last track of series "did you find it ?". This inclined Ateez were seeking for something, they wished to find when the story started, they dreamed. Their storyline heavily involves dreams and Ateez always has more than one meanings to the words they use like in 1984. The dystopian world is the storyline not ' a storyline'. All previous stories are going to come together like puzzle pieces eventually.

I have to agree that xikers got me the same way mcnd got me. The moment I heard tricky house in their predebut show I just got the same vibe from them that I did from mcnd.... And they're rapidly becoming an ult for me

i'm glad you mentioned MCND pd because that's the exact energy both of these groups give me, the same energy some of my favorite boygroups have: youthful, energetic, full of attitude; music that blows you away.

Ateez debut was all natural visuals, the desert and pirate vibe. Xikers was gritty urban. Tbh, I was more excited for Ateez debut because it was more my style... Treasure is still one of my favs. I really like this too, it's not mutually exclusive, right? They have their own identity, but I feel like they're in the same universe if that makes sense.

What a wild ride. Even having heard the song predebut, I was blown away by the mv. With the mv, the team did a good job of immersing us in this story as you pointed out. But get ready for the music. Honestly, my first listen through the album was this feeling amplified. The energy coming out this album is so intense I was dazed. But then I immediately had to listen again to figure out what just happened. Overall, I would describe this debut effort as rare. I am excited to see more from Xikers.

I ADORE the sound of this song, and I cannot get over that exact thing you picked apart. Similar, not the same. No forced "difference" in concept, definitely related, but still clearly their own thing. Their mischief comes through, goblins/tricksters are the PERFECT concept for them. Ateez is a huge amount of fun and charismatic as all get out, but (besides Wooyoung) they are too *intense* and sincere to be mischievious. Xikers oozes wicked mischief. Ateez was obsessed with their fans since pre-debut, they will do anyting to hog the camera, they all want the spotlight and our love. I get the impression that introverted Xikers would do what they are doing even if nobody was watching. So they don't have to try extra hard to be different. They are different. They just do them. After "Xikey" and "Rockstar", I somehow get the impression that they *can't* effectively be anyone other than themselves. Chameleon, theatrical Ateez can pull off literally anything with their own unique flavour, but Xikers is Xikers, and they can't help being themselves. It's a fascinating difference because it's so subtle. Behind all the magic of Ateez, the music is what I love, which means Eden-ary. The fact that I can hear more Eden-ary, and more flavours of KQ production is a colossal win, I am *so* happy!!! This is all just my own two cents as I caught up on their released material....and listen to the album on repeat. It could of course turn out to be very wrong, but anyway...thank you for this wonderful, detailed review!

I think Hongjoong never is the first name in credits bc Eden is the main producer and oldest? Like bc of seniority and who says the final okay? But Hongjoong is the one who did the guides and you could basically say they were his songs initially but then the rest of producers come together and polish and adds things like he described bf, this was the same with all Ateez Hongjoong songs like Aurora or Good Lil boy that we know he made the guides and those where described as his songs. Anyways I'm so obsessed with this song and Rockstar who will have a MV soon!! And I'm so curious of how they will sound in their 2 next albums!

Along with the Listening party Pd, you have GOT to check out their album preview, one for editing and two just to see how amazing of performers they are !! They have choreos for all the songs off the album, and truly its an experience. Xikers are gonna be big I can feel it

Im so happy to hear you bring up MCND, because i was thinking the same thing. Like even though they are different concepts, they still give a lot of energy with their performance and vocals. Its refreshing to see another debut thats on the same level.

You know they are good because for a debut,they chose an old business man and they still managed to captivate their audience! Any group could have easily chosen a good looking young lady or young man or a futuristic AI since it’s a debut. They were able to showcase their lore along with their youthfulness ,fresh on the scene and here to stay aura! They command our attention but yet stayed funny,fun and mischievous. It’s creative and Fresssshhhh!!!
@racheljohnson7177 Жыл бұрын
I agree! At first I thought the business guy got too much screentime but now I think him being a part of the MV gave the boys an edge
