SECHSKIES leader Eun Ji-won reflects on fans ahead of 30th anniversary

Eun Ji-won expressed his affection for SECHSKIES fans after seeing singer Park Seo-jin's fandom on 'Mr. House Husband 2' on the 14th. His remarks come as the group approaches its 30th anniversary next year, following the recent cancellation of a planned performance by members Ko Ji-yong, Jang Su-won, and Lee Jae-jin.

Eun Ji-won, the leader of the group SECHSKIES, has expressed his deep affection for his fans as the group approaches its 30th debut anniversary. His remarks have drawn significant attention, coming just four days after news emerged that a planned performance by members Ko Ji-yong, Jang Su-won, and Lee Jae-jin would not take place. Eun Ji-won confessed that watching the fandom of singer Park Seo-jin, which uses the same signature yellow color, made him think of his own fans.

During the broadcast of the KBS2 entertainment program 'Mr. House Husband 2' on the 14th, singer Park Seo-jin was shown hosting a sports day to gather his fandom, Anchor Star, from across the country. After spending special time with fans through various programs, Park Seo-jin continued the momentum by holding a mini-concert following the sports day. The final stage for the fans was the fan song "Because of You."

However, while singing, Park Seo-jin was unable to continue his voice as he became visibly moved. This was triggered by the fans, who turned on their mobile phone lights to create a beautiful scene resembling stars decorating the night sky. Park Seo-jin struggled to compose himself at the sight of the fans' sincerity, and Chaeryeong, a 'Salimdol' watching the scene, expressed admiration, saying it gave her "goosebumps." Watching the video in the studio, Park Seo-jin also appeared to be overcome with emotion, highlighting the special bond between the singer and the fans.

This scene led to a discussion regarding the relationship between singers and their fandoms. Lee Yo-won asked Eun Ji-won, "Isn't it the 30th anniversary of SECHSKIES next year? I think I would be moved thinking about meeting the fans." In response, Eun Ji-won revealed that seeing Anchor Star, Park Seo-jin's fandom, reminded him of his own fans. "When I see the Anchor Star members, I think of our fans. It is because we use the same yellow as a symbol. I think of our fans a lot," he said.

Eun Ji-won's comments, which revisited the long-standing connection with fans through the signature color of SECHSKIES, carried even more meaning given the upcoming 30th anniversary. His words naturally revealed the gratitude and affection held for the fans who have protected the group for decades. In particular, as the remarks are interpreted as looking forward to meeting fans ahead of next year's anniversary, attention is focused on the future activities of SECHSKIES.

However, the path for SECHSKIES leading up to their 30th anniversary has not been smooth. Previously, Mountain Movement Story, the agency for Ko Ji-yong, announced plans to hold a performance titled 'THE TREE in INSPIRE - SECHSKIES' Untold Stories' featuring Ko Ji-yong, Lee Jae-jin, and Jang Su-won. The performance, which was intended to be held in a dinner show format, garnered high expectations as a special stage ahead of the 30th anniversary and a potential reunion of the members.

Interest grew as various discussions arose regarding the performance, including pricing and whether the members would officially join the team. However, the performance was ultimately canceled due to conflicts between the organizers and the members. As it was expected to serve as a catalyst for new activities ahead of the 30th anniversary, the cancellation caused significant disappointment among fans.

With expectations for a reunion dampened by the cancellation of the performance, attention is once again turning toward the future direction of SECHSKIES as Eun Ji-won directly mentioned the 30th anniversary and the fans. As the affection and gratitude for the fans continue, interest is mounting on how SECHSKIES will meet their fans to mark the 30th anniversary next year.
