SECHSKIES (pronounced as /ˈzɛkskiːs/ ZEKS-kees,Korean: 젝스키스, Japanese: ジェクスキス) is a six-member South Korean boy band that was formed under DSP Media in 1997. They are the "1st-generation K-Pop idols" and was named as one of the top boy groups in the 90's with H.O.T. Consisting of members Eun Ji-won, Lee Jai-jin, Kim Jae-duck, Kang Sung-hoon, Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won, the group officially debuted on April 15, 1997. Their name "SECHSKIES" 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. The group is separated into "Black Kies" (Eun Ji-won, Lee Jai-jin and Kim Jae-duck) which is the rap-line and dance-line, and "White Kies" (Kang Sung-hoon, Ko Ji-yong and Jang Su-won) which is the vocal-line.
SechsKies 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. On May 11, YG Entertainment officially announced that they signed a contract with SECHSKIES (except Ko Ji-yong who is now an entrepreneur).
