SECHS KIES -The Return of Legend-

Well, it's actually not a new thing about the comeback of Sechs Kies. Even I wasn't their fan back then. I know that recently some of an old group make their comeback, and it including SES and Sechs Kies. I feel curious about that so I decided to see the group, and here I am chanting their song hahahahaha. As expected old group never betray you. Although, at some point, I really questioning about my music taste, why I always like the old group, even in Japan I like the senior groups like SMAP and V6. (-_____-)

Although, as not as old as Japanese Boyband SMAP (debuted 1988) or V6 (debuted 1995), Sechs Kies is a legend in Korean boyband industry. Off course, their comeback really makes a huge commotion. They even signed their contract with YG now.

Sechs Kies debuted in 1997 with their debuted album School Byeolgok (학원별곡). They debuted under DSP entertainment and I think this is one of the reasons why I got attached to them (feels like SS501 *sigh). They consisted of 6 person like their name which literally means six crystal. They were Eun Jiwon (은지원) as Leader, Main Rapper, Lead Vocalist; Lee Jae-jin (이재진) as Sub Rapper, Main Dancer; Kim Jaeduck (김재덕) as Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer; Kang Sunghun (강성훈) as Main Vocalist; as Ko Ji Yong (고지용) as Lead Vocalist; Jang Suwon (장수원) as Sub-Vocalist, Maknae. 

Maybe all of you now about them and some of you don't even know who they are (like me). This is because they disbanded before Korean Wave make a huge hit. They disbanded in 2000. After that, they go the separate way. Their first reappearance is in a variety show named Infinity Challange (episode 476-478). Their concept like a throwback and Sechs Kies is planned to have a guerilla concert. However, out of 6 only 5 member come. Ko Ji Yong can't fully participate, the reason is because he is a business man now. He can't participate off course, he already has their own responsibility now. If you really curious about them you can watch this series, it is really nerve-wracking and touching. I am sure you can't get over with it. As for me, I can't stop crying watching it hahahaha.

In the end after this episode, Sechs Kies finally really come back with only five members in 2016. Their first song is Three words. A calm song that really goes well with their voice tone, especially Kang Sunghun voice. In the same year, they also release another album "2016 Re-album", which consist my favorite songs titled Couple. In my opinion, they all have a charismatic voice. I can't comment on their dance since it's basically a normal back then (I've seen a lot of dances like that you know my favorite boyband usually err.. well hehe). However, in term acrobatic dance, I admit they are really good. I believe almost all of the senior boyband are the best in term acrobatic dance and ballad song (I love it so much).

All of the members has their own charisma. Their leader Eun Ji Won, I don't really expect he was a boyband before, since he really absurd hahaha. When I know he is a boyband member and moreover a leader, I just can't believe it, hehehe. Lee Jae-Jin *deep sigh* okay just see the infinity challenge and see how unique he is hahaha. Kim Jae-Duck, I've seen him before with Tony (HOT) in happy together. I found that he is really feminine, however, wait until he dances you will know how cool he is. Kang Sunghun! when I first saw their MV for 'Couple', I think he is the MV model, not Sechs Kies model. His face isn't aged at all. He is really cool. Where else you could see a man with age over 30 and still loveable with pink dyed hair. Jang Suwon which is well known for his robotic acting. He is really handsome and sometimes weird, I find him attractive hahaha. That's the five members that still continue their group activities in 2016.

Although they are only five now I think they still have their rhythm. You can see that they get a lot of attention after their appearance in Infinity Challange. Even after they released the album in 2016 they proved it, that they don't loose their touch. They got 3 awards in that year too which are Click!Star Wars Awards Hall of Fame; 6th Gaon Chart Kpop Awards Artist of the Year (Song); and 8th Melon Music Awards, Hall of Fame.

And how about Ko Ji-young? Since his schedule, he couldn't join them. However, you could see him on the return of superman. Yup, he is the new superman alongside with his son Sung Jae. His son really adorable. I've fallen in love with his son. Maybe some of you will ask, why he can make time for TROS and couldn't make it for the group. It is because TROS shooting is scheduled for the weekend and not as intensive as if he participate in the group. Anyway, you will see in the Infinity Challange that he still has their love for his group.

I still couldn't talk a lot about them since I am new too. However, please do support them *bow.

Sechs Kies - Couple Lyrics

예전보다 지금 니가 더욱 괜찮을꺼야

Yejeonboda jigeum niga deook gwaenchaneulggoya

Compared to before, you’re probably better now

허전했던 나의 빈 곳을 이젠 채워 줬으니

Heojeonhaetdeon naui bin goseul ijen chaeweo jwoseuni

You’ve fulfilled this emptiness inside me

아름다운 세상에서 많이 외로워 하며

Areumdaum sesange seo manhi waeroweo hamyeo

Being so weary in this wonderful world

내 반쪽을 찾아 해맨건 모두 옛날 얘긴걸

Nae banjjokeul chaja haemaenkeon modu yetnal yaegingeol

Losing my way trying to find my other half is all in the past

내 생애 이 시간만을 얼마나 기다렸는지

Nae saengae i shiganmaneul eolmana gidaryeotneunji

You don’t know how long in my life I’ve waited for this day

마치 꿈만 같은걸

manji ggumman gateungeol

It feels like a dream

이젠 나 혼자가 아닌 너와 함께 하는거야

Ijen na honjaga anin neowa hamkke haneungeoya

I’m not alone, but with you now

Oh love

왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야

wae ijeseoya manhi waerobdeon nareul chajaongeoya

I’ve been so weary, why did it take you so long to find me

Oh love

너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해

neoreul saranghae ije modeun shigandeureul nawa hamkkehae

I love you, now you can spend every second with me

All right

all right

When I saw you one time I lost my heart to you

Oops baby I’ll be loving you forever with you now

Baby, don’t go too far I won’t let you go

Please don’t go I want to hold you tight and

I need your love

Come into my arms and look at me

Stop breathing and close your eyes

Will you accept me

I’m not bent

For you I’m your one rose baby kiss me

얼마나 수많은 날을 기다려 왔는줄 아니 이젠 모두 앞에서

Eolmana sumaneul nareul gidaryeo watneunjul ani ijen modu apeseo

Do you know how many long days I’ve waited for you to come

너의 손을 꼭 붙잡고 우린 함께 하는거야

neoui soneul kkok butjapgo urin hamkke haneungeoya

Now I’m going to hold your hand real tight in front of everyone, we’re going together now

Oh love

왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야

wae ijeseoya manhi waerobdeon nareul chajaongeoya

I’ve been so weary, why did it take you so long to find me

Oh love

너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해

neoreul saranghae ije modeun shigandeureul nawa hamkkehae

I love you, now you can spend every second with me

과거 따윈 모두 잊고 나와 함께 할

Gwageo ddawin modu itgo nawa hamkke hal

Dance with me now to forget the past

많은 시간을 추억으로 만들어

Maneul shiganeul chueokeuro mandeureo

We have all the time to create new memories

Oh love

왜 이제서야 많이 외롭던 나를 찾아온거야

wae ijeseoya manhi waerobdeon nareul chajaongeoya

I’ve been so weary, why did it take you so long to find me

Oh love

너를 사랑해 이제 모든 시간들을 나와 함께해

neoreul saranghae ije modeun shigandeureul nawa hamkkehae

I love you, now you can spend every second with me
