K-pop fans are sure to flock to the GRAMMY Museum for their newest exhibition, KQ ENT. (ATEEZ & XIKERS): A GRAMMY Museum Pop-Up. The exhibit is the museum’s first event in its series of exhibitions and programs occurring over the next two years in celebration of the rising phenomenon of Korean pop music – also known as K-pop. The museum’s first event features outfits and props used by KQ Entertainment’s two K-pop boy groups, ATEEZ and xikers, and is on display until June 10, 2024. 

The eight-member South Korean group ATEEZ, short for “A TEEnager Z,” has taken the world by storm since their October 2018 debut. Fans of the band will be excited to see on display the outfits and props featured in their music video for “미친 폼 (Crazy Form)” from their 2024 album THE WORLD EP.FIN: WILL. “It’s an honor to have pieces from our latest music release displayed at the GRAMMY Museum, where so many wonderful artists have left a piece of their musical history,” says ATEEZ. “There are so many elements involved in the process of music creation and we’re excited to be able to share some of it.”

xikers is a multinational group of nine Korean members and one Thai member. Their name combines the unknown variable “x” and the term ”hikers,” representing the ten boys who are traveling through infinite time and space based on their own geographical coordinates. xikers listeners will be thrilled to see that the Grammy Museum’s exhibit features the band members’ outfits from their new music video “We Don’t Stop” from their 2024 EP HOUSE OF TRICKY: Trial and Error, as well as various props from their first two mini-albums. Also showcased are xikers member Junghoon’s outfit from a performance of the title track “도깨비집 (TRICKY HOUSE)” from their debut EP HOUSE OF TRICKY: Doorbell Ringing. xikers is full of gratitude to be partaking in this experience, explaining, “We’re so grateful for the opportunity to have our pieces displayed alongside our labelmate and seniors ATEEZ, as well as so many amazing artists that we’ve grown up listening to.”
