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.
