SECHSKIES or 6KIES (Korean: 젝스키스) is a South Korean boy group that was formed under Daesung Entertainment in 1997. Their name "SechsKies" is pronounced as /ˈzɛkskiːs/ ZEKS-kees. It is supposed to mean "Six Crystals" (representing the six members) in German, although "Kies" is actually translated as pebbles. They are popularly referred to and remembered by fans as "Jekki" for short. Their official fan club is YellowKies and official fan club color is yellow.
SechsKies debuted on April 15, 1997 and disbanded on May 20, 2000, performing "Bye" and "Remember Me" for the last time at the Dream Concert. The group held a reunion concert in 2016 because of Infinite Challenge. On May 11, YG Entertainment officially announced that they signed a contract with SechsKies (Eun Ji-won, Lee Jai-jin, Kim Jae-duck, Kang Sung-hun, and Jang Su-won).

Eun Ji-won, who was studying abroad in Hawaii, was scouted by DSP Entertainment, along with friend Kang Sung-hun in a nightclub. The agency had originally planned to debut Eun Ji-won and Kang Sung-hun in South Korea as duet, but with the success of SM Entertainment's male idol group H.O.T., the agency shifted gears to instead debut a six-member male idol group.
