In order to have a guerrilla concert, everything was kept in the dark except Yoo Jae Suk and Haha who knew about this matter along with the Sechs Kies members.
The group started training and practicing their dance moves though it was a struggle at the start as they have forgotten their own choreography moves and their parts of the songs.
They started off at average age of 19 teenage school boys and now they are all 37 years of age or more. Then the secret was leaked out to the media so Infinite Challenge had a change of plan- Indifferent Concert which means they have to perform wherever they are called to. Hah! From a rest stop corner to Korean Folk Village at Yongin...despite all the embarrassment and laughter from the public crowd, the members happily performed their hit songs.
After 16 years since their debut, Sechs Kies members have gone through many phases during their group activities to solo albums. Their title song 'Couple' rose to number one spot in real time music charts after been featured in Infinity Challenge. At 5.00pm, the song was on 7th spot in Naver Music and rose to 3rd spot on Bugs Music site. Sechs Kies were considered the first generation boy bands with the pressure from groups such as H.O.T and Shinhwa.
In 2014, ToToGa Season 1 featured old groups such as Turbo and S.E.S. The old groups were reunited and sang their previous hit songs reminding those who were fans in the 1990's. Imagine Kim Jong Kook from Turbo in his baggy pants and big goggles on his forehead. Haha! Those were the styles and fashion in the 90's.
Sechs Kies members are Eun Ji Won, Lee Jae Jin, Kim Jae Duk, Kang Sung Hoon, Go Ji Yong and Jang Su Won.
The reunion concert held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on 14th April was a surprise to fans. Everyone is worried whether ex-member Go Ji Yong would turn up for the event as he has totally left the industry since the group disbanded. With the persuasion from Yoo Jae Suk and final decision he appeared in the reunion concert. The fellow members still remembered their choreography moves and hasn't deteriorated a bit. The entire stadium was filled with yellow colored raincoats and balloons from their fans. Everyone was moved to tears when they saw Ji Yong appeared on stage after 16 years.
As what Sung Hoon said to the fans- let's not separate again which was a typical cheesy line that other members could never say it. The girls loved every bit of it. Hah! Everyone is leading their own lives happily, settling with family but there is one thing they can never forget- year 2000 was a peak time but sadly when they were disbandment on 18th May.
Once again, well done to the members for reuniting again! They have brought us back down the memory lane with their songs and dance movements. Sechs Kies jjang!
