With much room to experiment in their history, early k-pop artists Sechs Kies featured adventurous vocal and on stage dancing performance, quite advanced if a bit less focused than today‘s k-pop, plus all diversely in accordance with individual characters of the members.
Gliding across the stage while the rhythmic beats are going on, Eun Ji Won is surprisingly good both in rap and tunes, considering how his tv career depended for a long while on wearing a childlike mask in entertainment.
They debuted just when the internet was blossoming. the numbers of members of the earlier rivals HOT were 5, Sechs Kies 6.
I was supposed to be busy preparing for my Korean SAT, and I sometimes got the presence of those two simultaneous tv-stage-sweeping groups mixed.
Someone online then compared HOT to Sechs Kies saying that HOT was Korean version of the Beatles and that Sechs Kies was like Rolling Stones.
There could have been some credibility in that comparison as the former was very sweet like early Beatles and the latter was rugged, more masculine.
There was more freedom in scopes of what these two rivals brought to Korean pop music in the bygone era.
They are prototypes of what these k-pop-flourishing times sometimes seek to replay.
If The BTS are boys you can meet every day, these boys are born celebs and they know it.
One of their unexpected surprises is Flying Love, which a sole boy in the fan club commented on as being romantic, atmospheric and effective. It's very artistic trying to listen to Flying Love by Sechs Kies in Youtube where you can enjoy the song's feeling, dominating vibe. (The boy made so much of Flying Love it got a halo)
