We may hate YG, but i'm actually thankful that YGE offered a contract w/ artists who debuted in the past industry like Sechskies, Psy and Epik High. The 3 of them had bad experiences with either their career or prev companies but YGE still believed in them. YGE helped them to blossom their career more. And even tho Psy and Epik High were no longer in YG, as a BB21 baby~ i'm thankful to YG cuz i got to know their music.

RESPECT!

Fun fact: Eun Jiwon (G1), is a member of The Movement Crew which was one of the first hiphop crews in Korea. Founded by Tiger JK with members such as Drunken Tiger, Epik High, Dynamic Duo, YDG, Yoon Mi-Rae, Dok2, and Buga Kingz. They essentially popularized hiphop in South Korea early on in the underground scene.

Sechskies was one of the hottest 1st gen Boygroup back then.. and they were head2head to get Daesang (Main Prize SOTY) in 1998 for their song Couple against H.O.T. Eventually, both got Daesang that year ❤

I think you might be the only KZreadr outside of Korea to ever react to Sechskies. They are my OG favourites and their last concert in Seoul was my first kpop concert - I was actually amazed at how good they are live. They did a remaster of a bunch of their old songs when they went under YG to slightly "modernise" them so that might be an album to check out. They also have a hilarious random place dance on weekly idol in case you wanted to check out their choreo

I’m glad you enjoyed and connected with SECHSKIES! As many others have said the footage of them in concert was really their last performance. They were thanking and saying sorry to the fans about the disbandment. It was mostly the company/managements fault, but the guys just didn’t deserve to go through what they did.. you think mistreatment is bad today.. back in the day was even worst. But yeah they found each other again through a variety show Infinite Challenge, where they were reuniting disbanded groups. The 6th member Jiyong went on to have a normal life and was hesitant to join them. But he showed up and sang the last song with the other 5. He is always welcomed to come back to group and he will always be part of SECHSKIES. Jiyong himself still has good memories and keep in touch with them, but he’s focused on family right now. The other member Sunghoon that was the main vocalist and visual left due to some issues that came up. I’m not really going to comment on it because I don’t know what is 100% or what was fabricated. But now we have 4 active SECHSKIES. Suwon the maknae is now a married man which is very cute and I love that for him. Other than that, they are not only amazing artists.. they are variety show gold!! They are hilarious af! I hope YGE gives them another comeback!! It’s been since 2020! We need a SECHSKIES comeback ASAP!! 🙏🙏🙏

Gurl back in the day, it was a real FAN WARS......Things got physical.

I love "couple", version 1997 and 2016. My mom love "All for you" 🥺💛

Sechskies isnt orginally from YG but i m so glad that YG helped them reunited again! they r definitely my fav 1st gen!!

37:41 I think the beginning was when they announced they were disbanding/retiring. In 2016, there was a variety show called Infinite Challenge where they brought disbanded groups together to reunite and perform again. They did it with HOT too. If I remember it right, the day of the reunion concert, the former/retired member businessman Jiyong came and they sang the last song together. After that they came together and signed with YGE as 5.

I stanned Sechskies in 2016. Their song "couple" made me Stan them but i know Eun Jiwon, their leader way before i know about the group. I truly loved their songs even though it was a bit old school for me (😅). I have a lot of mixed feelings when i was listening to their song, three words because it depicted the words they want to say for their fans. Then when they released All for you under YG, i literally cried since i missed them so much

I remember ugly crying watching their Infinite Challenge episodes. They are at their peak when they disbanded and they just promoted for a short period of time so I am glad Infinite Challenge happened and they decided to come back. Just wishing YG would remember Sechskies is still signed to them and give them comeback from time to time. 😆

Yass Sech Skies! 🎉 These guys are one of my fave 1st gen groups.

Couple is their song from 1998 and it was a hit! everyone knows it 🥰 and on 2016 when they came back, they made this remake of couple with new arrangements. thank you for this 💓💓💓 I'm a Eun Jiwon bias 🥹💛

I still remember when Ko Ji Young appeared for the Infinite Challenge and they were all complete while singing "Would you Remember me?". How to fans cried 🤧 such a wonderful song

They don't like School Byeolgok either so it's okay🤣 aah I got emotional watching All for you with you, it's such a beautiful song and MV. Thank you for choosing them to be part of your series❤ I appreciate all your hard work😊

Thank you for checking out Sechskies, Caitlin! I love how you enjoyed it and how you were so shocked with the first song 😂 They are my ultimate group and they are literally chaos. 😂 I hope I could tell you the history of the group and the fandom it is so heartwarming and funny. Hope you get to check it out in your own time! BUT THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING MY AHJUSSI SECHSKIES!

I'm a big fans of YG's artist, so your discovery of them make me happy....thank u Caitlin. Love love love it

There is one song that stuck in my heart for me (DON’T LOOK BACK). Every time I listen to it and watch their video for this song, I feel like I'm ready to almost cry. I hope you watch the video for this song

Sechskies is supposed to mean six crystals in German, but I don't think it actually translates correctly, pronounced with the fancy z-j sound, zecks-keys or romanized-ish from korean, jek-su-ki-su. To me, School song seems to be a "if you're korean, going to school in the 90s you can relate" kind of song, where understanding the language and situation is important. I also got Nelly from the ohs, said it out loud as soon as you mentioned it😂

If you have a chance, I hope you can talk about "SHINHWA" in this series 'SHINHWA' is the oldest idol group that hasn't broken up in Korea and is still active It's one of the groups that many Korean boy groups choose as wannabe, So many new idols used to cover their dances(EXO,BTS,BTOB,GOT7,ASTRO,GFRIEND,etc..) Also, the group started its own entertainment program with the idol title for the first time in Korea, and many idol programs were inspired by these show They are celebrating their 25th anniversary this year Since they are a dance group, I recommend the live version rather than the music video

Thank you so much for reacting to Sechskies! They are one of my favorite groups. My first intro to them was in Reply 1997, a drama. It was set around late 90s to early 2000s Korea and the protagonist was a huge fan of H.O.T. while her bestfriend was a Sechskies fan. Jiwon also acted in that it was hilarious lol. If you have spare time to watch a good drama I highly recommend it. Then I accidentally came across the Infinite challenge episode where they gathered disbanded groups, and that was when I absolutely fell in love with them :) They are all crackheads and their variety skills are the best! For their older songs my favorite is The Way This Guy Lives, the choreo is fun and the lyrics are so funny, best breakup song ever lmao. Couple is actually an older song, they just remade an MV for it because it's their most iconic song. The yellow raincoats are an iconic representation of 1st gen fandom culture, Sechskies was yellow while H.O.T. was white. :-)

whoa!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INCLUDINH SECHSKIES, ITS SO RARE TO SEE A REACTION OF A 1ST GENERATION

I got to know Sechskies thnx to YG, and I don't regret it one bit. Ngl, some of their old sound being so 90's and early 00's still throws me off, so I'm more used to the re-issues YG did for their most popular songs, but I still enjoy some of the oldies cuz it give me "demo" vibes n.ñ. YG made 2 re-edit albums, and I feel they did a lot of cleaning, maybe toned down and managed to make 'em sound "current", which I actually apreciate a lot cuz it made it so much easier for new fans to come and get to know them. My favorite of these updates is 'Heartbreak' -just saying. With this said, I also totally love the "new" sound they got when in YG, since it shows how they're now in their 40's and can be/must be, more mature. I feel they aged so well, not only visually speaking, but musically. 'Another Light' was an album I got on repeat when it came out. I wish YG did pay more attention to them, we've been out of Sechskies music for so long :')

They are super funny as well. I love their personalities

IKRRR i want to suggest her to watch some of their shows but she's already packed with other stuff

Even my father loves their song Couple. It also has a very cute choreo. Almost every rookies of 2.5 gen made a cover of this song

omg sechskies!!! Yes!!!!! Never thought you would react to them😢 I am so happy!!! They are actually the reason I got into K-pop...... after so many years, and their fans are still waiting for them. Sechskies never see this coming, and they cry so hard when they finally see their fans on stage. It's just too sweet. I love them. Hope you enjoy and love sechskies' music❤ If you want to hear more, I think you might love their album. Especially th e re-made album, they did a such good job on re-make those 90s songs. You will be amazed.

1st Kpop song that I listened to is Sechskies's Couple in 2000 (and still have this song in my phone and in Spotify playlist)~ hahahaha 23years listening to Kpop from 90's songs till the most recent ones~ if in 1st gen, I would say I love Sechkies & G.O.D.. But since 2nd gen onwards, my forever fav and no.1 super duper ultimate love is only SHINee~ I'm a shawol since 2008~ but I would say I love lots of older generations Idols songs, maybe I love that kind of music colors and it suits more with me personally~ anyway thank you so much for discovering and do reaction to Sechskies~ I still remember how sad I am when I discovered them in 2000 and they already disband, and when they reunite again after like 16 years, I cried like a baby, even if I rewatch those episodes, I will still be in tears~ watching that episodes of infinite challenge, and when all members are there, together with Yellkies (and some even bring their child to the special Sechskies stage performance)

couple is a remake of their old song in 90s as well

Lee Jae Jin is YG founder/CEO ( Yang Hyunsuk) brother in law.. so YG is JaeJin younger brother imn law

Sechskies!!!💛i always feel nostalgic whenever i listen to their songs and now I miss them even more 🤧 Thankyou for this reaction and finally you have a taste of 1st gen 😄 I laughed quite a lot in the school song i totally get your facial expressions 😂 it’s entertaining to see how eccentric the trends were at that time. They debuted and disbanded at their peak, the old footage from their concert in the Three Words MV was their last show right after announcing the D-word. I came to know of Sechskies because I watch the korean variety show “Infinity Challenge” and they were featured there. Sechskies’ member Lee Jaijin is actually the brother-in-law of YGE’s founder Yang Hyunsuk and because of the successful, moving and heartwarming reunion in infinity challenge, and the loyalty of their fans that YG was inspired to sign with them and give them a comeback. Sorry this became an essay 😂

I’m glad you did Sechskies! Definitely grew up with them back in the day and always excited to new folks getting to know them and their music! Always enjoyed your reaction videos.

"couple" is such a legendary song, a lot of new gen kpop idols do a cover of this song every winter

My favorite 1st Gen group, aside from Clon, I love them so much! Thank you for reacting to them! But god damn I wish YGE would give them a comeback- I miss them so much! 💛💛💛

I first saw them in Infinite Challenge where they united and performed in front of their fans, not knowing if there was a single person coming or not. Despite the limited time offer, Yellowkies were able to fill the hall and cheer for their idols. SECHSKIES with their story gives me hope that kne day my favorite groups (disbanded or on hiatus) can make a comeback.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Caitlin so shook 😂

PART 2 FOR SECHSKIES : - Reckless love 2016 ver - Yegam/Hunch ot6 ver - chivalry 2016 ver - comeback 2016 ver - sad song - Heartbreak 2016 ver - Pom saeng pom sa Thank youuuu

You are the first reactor (that I know) that react to them without a prejudge. I feel like we are so used to the new things that we forget the old sound that kpop has. Honestly I only know the songs that you put in this video (and some of Jiwon solo stuff) in terms of music, I have watched them acting and Jiwon is in so many variety shows so I know him more because of that. It’s good to go back in time and enjoy old music, it has a different vibe and it just feels right. I’m a big fan of vocals so this was right of my alley, anyways thank you for the reaction and your hard work! 💚🌻

the culture shock on school byeolgok. 😭

38:09 yess it was their last performance before disbanding. they were so popular & successful back then thats why in the clips you can see the fans bawl their eyes out cuz the disbandment was so sudden (its the company fault tho)

Like imagine this all-rounded idol that brighten's up your whole teenage life. Like they are literally our life but they had to suddenly retire at the top of their career. And 16 years later, when they thought nobody remembers them anymore, we proved them wrong. And so they banded together again and slayed just like they did in the old days. And last time, we remember them as just young kids, but now they're all grownups. I WOULD BAWL MY EYES🥲🥲🥲🥲

OMGGGG MY FAV 1ST GEN GROUP NOT EXPECTING THAT YOU GONNA REACT TO THEM THANK YOUUUU💛💛💛💛💛💛

Lol, my Uncles had that “Middle Part with The Long Bangs” haircut back in the day. To which, in my opinion it still goes hard.

OMG 1ST GEN YAAS! Thank you so much for reacting! I'm SO excited for this journey you're on. I can't wait for more! Thank you again! You're awesome, I love your reactions.

Thank you Caitlin. Before your reaction I was not familiar with this group's music. I knew Jiwon through variety shows (he's entertainment industry legend haha), and I gasped when I saw his photo in the introduction 😂 And now I'm addicted to Road Fighter song, I listen to it 5-6 times daily!!!

Honestly if you want something to brighten up your mood you should watch episode of Weekly Idol with them. It’s one of the funniest, that’s how I discovered them

H.O.T, Shinhwa, and G.O.D were all 1st gen boygroups along with Sechskies!

omg yas!! Couple is my ult fave sechskies song 🥹

Thank you so much for this Caitlin 💛💛💛💛

Awww SECHKIES!!!! I got into kpop at a time when gen 2 had just started debuting but gen 1 idols were still super popular and on a lot of variety shows and I freaking love gen 1 artists bc they were so funny on variety!!! Love these throwbacks!

I'm glad you reacted to Sechkies and I love that you mentioned Vanner too. ❤

Sechs kids and HOT were the first of many boy groups that came after. Legends.

Thank you so much 🙏💛✨️

The way I screamed when I saw it was Sechskies!!!!! 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛 I laughed my ass off when School Song started, lol that is a lot to take. Recommendation: when they joined YG, they released a remastered album with their biggest hits, but modernized (that's where the Couple version that you reacted to comes from, Road Fighter remastered is also there), it's called Re:Album (2016). I cannot overstate how immaculate that album is, check it out on your own or on camera, whatever works for you, I'm sure you gonna love it. Thank you for reacting to them so much 💗 And yes, they are 1st gen, they were H.O.T's rivals back in the day haha

Finally Sechskies! Thank you Caitlin for reacting to them ❤❤ Will you react to Løren too in your Label View series as he is also part of The Blacklabel?

Three Words is such a great song ♥ Glad you've listened to it!!

it’s so cool that you decided to include them! i will always have a crush on eun ji won 💘

Thank you so much for this, as a yg stan this really means a lot 😢❤

Thank you for reacting to them... there's a time where Ive been really into them after their reunion and until now, I can say that their songs are really great... thank you so much. Jekki jjang!

OMG Sechkies!!!

Yashh, thank you so much for checking out Sechskies, Yes H.O.T is 1st gen, H.O.T's fans and Sechskies's fans (sorry, I forgot the name) used to be rival back then, like..for real😣

I'm loving this Label View series and that you started with my favourite label YGE. I'm an ancient VIP and I'm writing in, just in case you are planning to include Bigbang in your label view and if you haven't already filmed the episode and/or picked the songs out, my suggestions for some songs to include but no pressure if you have everything sorted out or filmed already. With BB we VIPs much prefer the live versions over the MVs so I'm including most lives here: Lies (MV, made them popular in 2007), Haru Haru (MV from 2008, acoustic live version from any tour, try Japan Dome Tour X), Candle/Fools Only Tears (Love & Hope Tour 2011, the vocal line only), Tell Me Goodbye (Japan Dome Tour X), Café (MADE Tour), Sober (MADE Tour), Garagara-go! + Top of the World + Number 1 (Japan Dome Tour X), Bang Bang Bang (MV)... and so many more but these are some of my personal favourites.

Since there is still no lightstick before fans use balloons as cheering material. Yellow for Sechskies then white balloon for H.O.T

Sechskies needs a comeback asap. I miss them 🥺

I saw Eun Jiwon, I clicked. 😳

Omg when you post the story on instagram i'm guessing sechskies, and i'm right. I was thinking it must be either big bang or sechskies, but the picture you post just scream sechskies to me. Oh and fyi they used to be a rival group of h.o.t, so yeah h.o.t is also a 1st gen group

the first song is such a legendary student rebel song lmaoo the lyrics is so relatable

Love this video so much. Please do reaction video for their old ballad song or all of their song. You made my day, your reaction are so fun and I feel accompany watching my favorite group videos. I LOVE YOU CAITLIN 💛💛💛

Thank you for reacting to Sechskies! Also a little fun fact, their lightsticks are balloon shaped because during their time when there was still no lightsticks, fans used balloons of the group's official color to show their support. So when they signed to YG, they designed the lightsticks as an ode to that memory. You can also see another reference to the yellow balloons during their recent concert clip in the Three Words MV

Fav 1st gen ❤

Wow, I'm amazed that you can make 50minutes contents of sechskies! Bravo!! ❤❤

Thank you for this video, SECHSKIES is my one and only kpop group ❤

ITS ABOUT SECHSKIES❤ WILL DEFINITELY WATCH LATERRR

Waaaaah SECHSKIES! 😍

the process of making their most recent song 'don't look back' from 2021 was so funny, try to watch the series is if you can. eun ji won (angry dude in the first two videos) was duped into signing an employment contract with na pd (of channel full moon/game caterers), who's producing jinny's kitchen right now, that's valid up to 50 years after his death in a show. one thing led to another and they got themselves a song because of some stupid bet. then na pd got so extra. he's best friends with one of the most popular kdrama producers in korea and was able to get him to direct the mv and used the equipment and set of the drama hospital playlist for free. they only performed it live once and they managed to still top the music charts. they're still a force to be reckoned with if and when they do decide to make a comeback.

WoW me gusto mucho tus reacciones a cada canción. Yo los conocí en el 2011 x otro grupo que escucho. Y cuando volvieron en el 2016 me alehre mucho. Gracias por reaccionar a ellos. Ah no se siseria molestia pero podrías reaccionar a SS501 (Su debut 2005) Y A INFINITE (Debit 2010) te lo agradecería mucho.

all for you is so good

I really wish YGE to let Jekki comeback with another full album, the last one was amazing! A no-skip album

Yay congrats on your first 1st gen reaction 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 some other 1st gen acts that i like are g.o.d, s.e.s, shinhwa and lee hyori. (Are hweesung and gummy considered as 1st gen too? I like them too)

Yeayyy first gen group reaction!

Thank you so much for reacting to them!! Not many reactor react to them.. SECHSKIES literally my fav boygroup aside from WINNER (another YG boygroup you've not react to yet here) Hope you're reacting to them more both Sechskies and Winner. They're THAT good in S.Korea, but not many international kpopers really know them well (especially the new kpopers)

I'm absolutely loving the reactions to 1st and 2nd gen groups. Please do a deep dive of Infinite, an iconic 2nd gen group. Bad, the Eye, Chaser, Before the Dawn, Be Mine

didn't push you but just recommending if you ever wanted to look back on their songs after 2016 (considered new to me) you can check out their concert performance, most of them have eng sub, but I enjoy 'drinking problem' the most

Bubbles here ❤️ Please try to watch their weekly idol they are the guests and trust me girl it is pure CHAOS haha Please also react to B1A4 ❤

School song sounds like a cult😭

Eun Jiwon really ages backwards. He looks even younger than me. 🥲

I think maybe that sample in couple might be reminding you of dilemma by nelly? Not sure if its exactly the same but if not its pretty darned close. 🤔 ~edit~ Yep 😅

Infinity challenge was a great show. They brought sechskies back. Thanks to that show they came back and watching it was so emotional. This show gave hope about ss501, Mblaq and B.A.P reunion.
