okay so, imma try and make this like a short but possibly not so short guide to Sechskies :D
Sechskies means, or at least should mean, 6 crystals in German, but kies apparently means gravel. There are 6 members but 1 is inactive (Ko Jiyong, we’ll get to that), and they are divided into two units, Blackkies and Whitekies, for no particular reason other than concept™ lol
They debuted on April 15th 1997 under Daesung Entertainment, today’s DSP Media. They held a press conference on May 18th 2000, announcing their disbandment, at their prime. Here’s a post that explains what exactly happened.
Sechskies were reunited through the variety program “Infinite Challenge” in 2016. (Episodes 476, 477 and 478.) They have signed with YG Entertainment.

Sunghoon and Jiwon were originally supposed to debut as a duo, but due to the popularity of H.O.T, DSP decided to debut a 6-member group, but Sunghoon refused
DSP CEO persuaded him to stay by giving him right of veto; the other 4 members of Sechskies were chosen by Sunghoon
was the 2nd member to go solo after disbandment, releasing an album called 비상 (Bee Sang) with title song 고백 (Confessions)
okay so this part even I’m slightly confused about but, he was in some legal troubles for a few years for fraud, and he also spent a few months in prison; it turned out those were false charges, but I can’t really find a good source or good translation of the whole ordeal, but yeah..this happened
