Korean goblins (dokkaebi) are nature spirits/gods that can inhabit objects and have special powers. They can be mischievous and can also be helpful. They're associated with blue flame (Wikipedia), so the blue flames around the man in some shots are the members in their spirit form. My take: while it appears the goblins are being mischievous, I believe they're being mischievous in a helpful way. The man is working so late that no one is left on the subway by the time he leaves work. He looks stuck in the daily grind of life. I think exposing him to music, the arcade, dancing, and the carnival is their attempt to help him remember what it feels to enjoy life again. At the end of the bridge, they say "Tell me what you want. Tell me what you need." and a car appears. I think they gave him what they sensed he wanted. The man smiles ear to ear as he drifts around the parking lot. Minjae's last words are "don't forget." This could have double meaning: 1) "Don't forget" it's our time now (we've debuted). 2) "Don't forget" to have fun and enjoy your life (within the context of the MV). I think they left because they had accomplished their mission. Apparently, goblins are known to inhabit household items like tools and brooms. The ten brooms at the end are likely proof he hadn't been dreaming. He had actually encountered 10 goblins. They may be using the term Tricky instead of goblin because international fans can have different ideas of what a goblin is (like Lord of the Rings). Tricky gives the general idea. Thanks for reacting to them--they are insanely talented. Car Kpop did a best raps of 2023--No surprise Hongjoong and Mingi were on the list, but Minjae and Soomin's passe rap in Koong made the list as did a couple of Yechan's raps (red hair). Car Kpop also gave him Rookie Rapper of 2023. If you want to better understand their concept Andy and Jas explain a lot of dokkaebi lore in their Tricky House reaction.

Best debut I've ever experienced!! I listened to the whole album waaaay too many times 😅

As an ATINY and ROADY I am soo happy for this video 😊 They had 2 Title Tracks for both of their albums First Album House of Tricky:Doorbell Ringing 1.The Tricky's Secret(Intro of Storyline) 2.Doorbell Ringing 3.Tricky House 4.Dynamic(leads to Rockstar) 5.Xikey 6.Oh My Gosh Second Album House of Tricky:How To Play 1.Skater 2.Homeboy(2nd Title Track) 3.Do or Die(1st Title Track) 4.Koong(also Have Performance Video) 5.Run(Have Performance Video) 6.Sunny Side(Also have Special Video for ROADY'S)

yess the blue lights represents spirits and xikers lore is that they are goblins! Some sort of mischievous entities that can be good or bad, in this video they are mostly "having fun" with the man but also conceiving him wishes like giving him money... in korean mythology the goblins can transform into common objects thats why they became brooms at the end

the balls of light are xikers, they're goblins

Xikers have a deokebbi or goblin theme and x is the roman number 10 and there are 10 members combined with the word hikers who travel between time and space dimensions.​@@hallyudoing

One of the best 5th gen debuts!!

This song is so good! 🔥

Yes! Like others have said... 도깨비집 literally means "Goblin House" but, of course, the idea of a goblin/dokkaebi is different in Korean lore. I looooooooove the Xikers lore! One of those plushies from the claw machine that comes to life looks like the traditional depiction of a dokkaebi - if you want to look that up. I went to see the Xikers concert here in LA and they were phenomenal. I was blown away.

Their lore sounds fascinating! I’m so blessed that we’ve already seen them twice but I’m even more excited to see them now I’m finally diving into their music videos heheeee

just for the future reference, it's pronounced "psych-ers" (sike-ers)! they're super adorable so I hope you continue reacting to them in the future when you have time!
