According to STARNEWS, xikers returned on November 2 with their eighth mini album, ROUTE ZERO : The CALLING, released at 6 p.m. (KST). The six-track record is led by the title track “DIENAMITE”, and the rest of the tracklist includes “Go,” “Mask off,” “One,” “DUMB,” and “Sanctuary.”
The comeback arrives on the back of a strong stretch for the group. According to Hanteo Chart data, their previous mini album, ROUTE ZERO : The ORA, sold 364,152 copies in its first week in May 2026. That number set a new first-week record for xikers, beating the 327,734 copies sold by their earlier release HOUSE OF TRICKY : WRECKING THE HOUSE. The new album continues the ROUTE ZERO storyline the group has been building since spring.
The album’s first teaser went up in September. It opened with a ringing vintage telephone and then tore the paper phone apart to reveal bold, colorful graphics, including a skateboarding skeleton. The teaser closed with the album title, the release date, and the tagline “FOLLOW THE CALLING, INTO THE UNKNOWN.”
Several details beyond the tracklist are still limited in public sources. Fans who want to follow the group’s promotion can keep an eye on the group’s official channels, where updates on performances and music show appearances usually appear first.
The release also keeps xikers in a steady run of comebacks. Their rise through the K-pop chart race has been marked by consistent album sales, and the new mini album gives listeners a fresh set of songs to add to their playlists. For fans who want to show their support, the group’s merchandise and related items are a good way to stay connected to the release.
