xikers have released the powerful new single, ‘Iconic’ – check it out below.
Last Friday (August 01), the KQ Entertainment K-pop boyband returned with ‘Iconic’ several months after their fifth EP ‘House Of Tricky: Spur’. ‘Iconic’ takes on a trap sound, with a blend of Western-inspired guitar riffs.
The group sing on the chorus: “Turn up the heat, yeah, I’m about to blow / Live my life, so iconic / They’re gonna think I’m ironic / I want so much more what you’re waiting for / I want so much more from it / What ya waiting for from me? / Y’all thought I would hide from it / I just put some ice on it / They’re gonna hear me roar, got that animal / Live my life, so iconic / They’re gonna think I’m ironic”

The release of ‘Iconic’ comes around four months after the group dropped their fifth EP ‘House Of Tricky: Spur’. That EP included the tracks ‘You Hide We Seek’, ‘Breathe’, ‘Highway’, ‘Roller Coaster’ and ‘Rock Your Body’.
Prior to releasing ‘Iconic’, the group embarked on their 2025 ‘Road to XY: Enter the Gate’ world tour, featuring concerts in Rosemont, Atlanta, New York and more. It all kicked off in early May with a show in Seoul, South Korea.
In other K-pop news, ILLIT have enlisted rising Canadian singer-songwriter and social media star Sophie Powers for a new version of their song ‘Jellyous’. The original version of the track arrived in June as part of their ‘Bomb’ EP.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
