1. [+1092, -24] Just like his personality, he's handsome and nice!!! Jung Woo Sung-ssi hwaiting!! Waiting for your next project!!

2. [+953, -23] What does Jung Woo Sung lack?

3. [+743, -19] Woo Sung hyung, what don't you have?

4. [+725, -62] He has everything except luck on women. He's a pitiful person.

5. [+517, -13] I love you Woo Sung hyung-nim

6. [+176, -5] Aging well like him means you're living a good life

7. [+160, -5] Jung Woo Sung will still look handsome when he becomes a grandpa

8. [+169, -9] People behave just like how they look... Look at Cho Young Nam...

1. [+632, -12] As Jung Woo Sung ages, he's getting really cool eye wrinkles like the national actor Ahn Sung Ki. Soft voice, cool eyes, tall, and handsome~ He's so handsome that I don't even feel jealous.

2. [+532, -11] Wow! I just watched this episode and he's so handsome and he does everything the panelists ask him. I found it amazing that he was confident with the subject he was interested in and how he was able to talk about all the knowledge he has! No wonder why people shout Jung Woo Sung!

3. [+477, -9] Ak! How can a guy be so elegant like that?

4. [+37, -0] Ah... There are countless trendy young actors but I've never seen one at Jung Woo Sung's level. He was crazily handsome when he was young and now he's warmly handsome. Any praise isn't enough for him... sobs.

5. [+30, -0] He had an unfortunate incident recently. Look at his strong mentality.

6. [+29, -4] You have to see Jung Woo Sung in real life, he doesn't look as good on the screen. In real life, he's more than shining. Your eyes will widen and your mouth will hang open. You'll be frozen. I also saw Jo In Sung and Jang Dong Gun and both were handsome, but Jung Woo Sung wasn't even comparable. He's not even human... Too handsome.

7. [+22, -3] His facial features are too confident of themselves

8. [+21, -1] There are only 11 UNHCR High Profile Supporters in the world and he's one of them. Angelina Jolie has been promoting actively for 16 years, so she's above it. He's been promoting for 3 years... I felt proud. He asked carefully, "There are many struggling people in the world, but please also help out the refugees."

1. [+168, -2] He's more handsome than the foreigners. Everybody turned into a squid after Jung Woo Sung appeared. Woah... he's really handsome.

2. [+110, -1] I saw Jo In Sung in a drama a few days ago and I thought he was really handsome... And this episode aired a footage of Jung Woo Sung and Jo In Sung and I was in awe... Jung Woo Sung is amazing.

3. [+106, -0] It's awkward to see a visual like this on a variety show ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Source: My Daily via Naver

1. [+327, -3] Unlike others that become tryhard actors and waste their wealth and image for themselves, Jung Woo Sung shines... I cheer for his nice and warm heart.

2. [+243, -1] I started to donate for UN refugees when I heard Jung Woo Sung's voice in an advertisement, it's been more than a year. He's not an ambassador who promotes only with his name, he actually studies the subject, understands it, and puts it into actions. Good influence, indeed ^^

3. [+208, -1] Every word he says sounds classy and elegant. He makes listeners focus, I could feel his aura from the screen... He's handsome with a great personality ^^

4. [+33, -0] It's a talent to live normally with his looks...

5. [+31, -0] Jung Woo Sung does have charisma. As soon as Jung Woo Sung appeared on the show, the MCs and panelists all got nervous and looked scared like students in front of a scary teacher. It was a completely different atmosphere than usual ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Guillaume: "I went to eat meat with a hyung I know and Sechs Kies Ko Jiyong was there. He was with his wife, he was handsome. Do you know what 'Sechs Kies' means in German?"

Daniel: "It doesn't mean anything. It's said to be 'six crystals', but the word is more used to mean 'rock'"

-

1. [+486, -13] Six rocks ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ko Jiyong doesn't get old ㅠㅠ His wife is pretty!

2. [+479, -20] Rocks ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought it meant crystals ㅋㅋ His wife is pretty by the way

3. [+449, -23] Ko Jiyong's wife is the Kang Mo Yeon of the medicine world. She's really pretty.

4. [+34, -6] Handsome guy and pretty lady <3

5. [+30, -3] I live in Germany. After learning German, I found out what Sechs Kies meant. It does mean six crystals, but the word is more used for pebbles... And a rock band on I'm A Singer was Guckkasten which means periscope ㅋㅋㅋ I found it funny.

4. [+2204, -34] I again felt that the power of media is unimaginable ㅋ

5. [+1934, -24] I love you Sechs Kies :)

3. [+1213, -43] Com' Back is a good song. "Ripping through the wind~"

Article: [Exclusive] 'The father of Sechs Kies' sheds tears at his sickbed

Source: Sports Donga via Naver

(Article talks about how DSP's CEO Lee Ho Yeon cried at Sechs Kies' reunion when he saw them on TV but Sechs Kies didn't bother to visit the CEO.)

1. [+18309, -219] Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Is this journalist insane? What kind of a nonsense... Consider the things Lee Ho Yeon did to Sechs Kies...

2. [+14984, -190] Way to rewrite the past ㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're mentioning about how Sechs Kies promoted without a contract as if it was for the sake of the group... The company tried to register a trademark with the group's name but got rejected.

3. [+14663, -211] The members were underage but they had to perform at night events on a hectic schedule. The company didn't even film music videos for their title tracks. The company didn't do proper support for the group and now what? Don't try to ride on their fame. They falsely reported Sechs Kies' physical sales and disbanded the group. I see that they're trying to grab Sechs Kies again but no matter how much media-play they do, we already have all the evidences for their past.

4. [+13312, -181] Well... There's a reason why they're not visiting you. Why are you trying to grab them after 16 years? Just stop caring about them. And I hope you get better.

5. [+11255, -129] They made underage members come to drinking parties at late night and if they didn't come, they were scolded and called arrogant. They performed at night events, had a hectic schedule, weren't fed properly, and weren't paid properly. Now he's trying to gain sympathy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I'm so speechless. Talk about crocodile tears...

6. [+3823, -18] 1) 5~6 schedules a day. At night, they had to perform at adult clubs. 2) No music videos for 2nd and 4th album title tracks. HOT fans would know that music videos were very critical during the time. For the 3rd album's title track Road Fighter, the director volunteered to spend his own money to film their music video. 3) The manager beat up the members. After disbanding, one of the members confessed in an interview. The members were hit for no reason. Fans were also hit. The manager always carried a stick and threatened and hit fans. They're a gang. 4) Under-reporting physical sales.

1. [+2191, -27] Sechs Kies disbanded because of their bad relationship with the company

2. [+2135, -26] If DSP has some shame, they should keep their mouth shut. Father of Sechs Kies, my ass.

3. [+1884, -26] Is he kidding? He's the one that disbanded the group.

4. [+287, -2] Why do you think Sechs Kies fans destroyed Jo Young Goo's car? Because they thought it was yours. The interviews of the members' parents give away the answer. The members were sleeping but they were called to drinking parties to serve. Lee Jaejin and Kim Jaeduk weren't from the city so they always practiced at the company building and got beat up a lot. The members were slaves with no contract. They blocked Ko Jiyong's career after disbanding. Ko Jiyong got furious and left the entertainment industry. Who is he to be talking ㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+237, -5] I do thank him for forming Sechs Kies but this article makes me speechless ㅋㅋ If they have some shame, then they should never say, "The members should've visited CEO Lee before YG."

6. [+231, -2] Sechs Kies members were so innocent... They could've sued the company...

7. [+218, -2] Called underage members to drinking parties. Beat up the members and had no contract. Lee Jaejin already said what the members wanted was changing their company, not disbanding. How can he call himself the father of Sechs Kies?

8. [+201, -3] So frustrating... If it wasn't DSP, we would be seeing Ko Jiyong on TV... Stay quiet and be nice to your current artists.

Reasons why Sechs Kies Ko Jiyong left the entertainment industry + participated in TOTOGA

Ko Jiyong's post after a few years of Sechs Kies' disbandment:

"Hello, I'm Ko Jiyong... When I was 20, my sunbae told me that your 20's years pass very fast. At that time, I didn't feel anything. But after experiencing it, it did pass extremely fast... I didn't even do anything... Now that I'm in my mid-20's, I'm starting to be worried. It feels like a few months ago when I had my 22th birthday party with you guys... It's been 2 years already. I even feel sorry for you guys... and thank you so much for waiting for me for 3 years... You're also amazing.... Haha, I'm kidding. I'm very sorry that my stubbornness made you wait and get bored... I have some good news. In this fall, I'll have a nice start with a project. I recently chose my company... I signed under Player Entertainment which my favorite sunbaes Lee Byung Hun and Lee Jung Jae are associated. I'm starting to be hopeful. Please wait for me a bit... I'll get a chance to pay back to you guys. Lastly, I want to celebrate my birthday since this will be my last birthday as a jobless person... ㅋ I'm gonna drink up with my friends and die.. ^^ Thank you so much and I'll hold a meeting soon. Thank you for reading my poor writing. It's been a while since I've written stuff so I don't even know if I got all spellings correct. Please understand me and bye..."

P.S: Once again, I'm only posting on Ko Jiyong.com so I'm worried that my other fansites might get upset... If you're not a member of this fansite, please understand me again...^^ Guys, your 20's years pass really fast... Run hard for your future.

Pann: The reason why Sechs Kies Ko Jiyong left the entertainment industry

1. [+156, -2] His career was blocked by his ex-company for sure, so dirty ㅋㅋ Eun Jiwon said on Infinity Challenge that they sold 500K of physical sales but their company called them a flop.

2. [+114, -0] Someone blocked him ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+96, -0] I can see his kind personality from his writing ㅠㅠ

4. [+64, -1] As a Sechs Kies fan from the era, let me say something to the comment that says, "Singers sold 2M at that time, 500K was a flop." It's still a reach to say selling 2M was easy in the late 90's. HOT sold around 1M and singers like Jo Sung Mo could sell 2M. Sechs Kies never sold more than 1M officially, but there's a reason behind. If you google Sechs Kies physical sales, you'll find that DSP earned a ton by under-reporting the physical sales of Sechs Kies. Eun Jiwon said it was the only time that Sechs Kies beat HOT. Their 3.5 album was a hit with Couple but the trash DSP reported the physical sales as 4~500K. Their first and second albums sold 900K ㅋㅋ Since their third album, their physical sales shrunk down to 4~500K. The company even told the members that they flopped because they only sold 500K. The company is insane. Sechs Kies fans had enough of DSP's bullshit and when their disbandment was announced, they tried to destroy the CEO's car which turned out to be Jo Young Goo's car instead. Anyways, talking about physical sales is really hurtful to Sechs Kies fans, so please stop calling them a flop with their 500K result. The company was really trashy.

5. [+36, -0] I think he was very hurt... Poor him ㅠㅠ

6. [+31, -0] Ko Jiyong was cast in a drama 'Cool' but it got cancelled ㅠㅠ Ugh, the company has no solution.

7. [+28, -0] It's because his company was a fucking asshole ㅠㅠ

8. [+22, -0] He wasn't in a good company. I'm not from the era of Sechs Kies but I know Sechs Kies songs like Couple, Pom Sang Pom Sa, etc and I know all the members. I saw a new side of Sechs Kies on Infinity Challenge. Ko Jiyong seemed really nice ㅠㅠ He must've struggled so hard...

9. [+21, -0] I feel really bad for him. He must've felt like the sky was falling apart...

10. [+19, -0] His ex-company blocked him. It's a common thing that happens when a celebrity changes their company... Considering Ko Jiyong's personality and family background, he wouldn't have stayed in the entertainment industry and see all these corruptions.

Ko Jiyong: "I wish after Infinity Challenge, the members would be able to promote more. It's not related to myself though..."

Pann: The reason why Ko Jiyong participated in TOTOGA

1. [+128, -2] His face and consideration are so cool ㅠㅠ Oppa, I hope your income rises ㅎㅎ

2. [+120, -1] Hul... His smile in the last gif is so cute ㅠㅠ

3. [+106, -1] He seems like a nice person ㅠㅠ It was a hard decision, thank you for appearing on the show ㅠㅠ

4. [+42, -1] I can never forget the visuals of Ko Jiyong and Click B's Yoo Ho Seok

5. [+41, -3] He wanted to become an actor and even signed under a famous actor company. But DSP kept blocking him so he couldn't do anything and was disillusioned about the entertainment industry. He went overseas to study and started a business. Is it also true that DSP manager beat up the members a lot? I heard that they didn't even have a contract and the CEO called the members when he was drinking at night. It's fortunate that DSP can't claim the rights for the name of Sechs Kies, but the members only earned 200 million won for 3 years ㅡㅡ These days, companies invest money on trainees for years but Sechs Kies was quickly formed and they debuted after months of training. They didn't even get proper pay ㅡㅡ Eun Jiwon, Jaeduk, and Jang Suwon still participated in a recent DSP event, they're saints.

6. [+40, -0] Section TV idiots. Ko Jiyong is a non-celebrity but they revealed where his company is. Ko Jiyong could sue them, they're hopeless.

In 5 hours, more than 5000 fans came to Sechs Kies' guerrilla concert on Infinity Challenge

Pann: Sechs Kies is really amazing

1. [+191, -1] The fandom is mostly married women and working adults in their 30's, but more than 5000 of them came in a few hours. It's a big achievement... It's their reunion in 16 years... Really cool.

2. [+189, -2] Eun Jiwon is so handsome ㅠㅠ

3. [+168, -2] Ko Jiyong is so handsome ㅠㅠ I want to stan him

4. [+129, -0] Our frozen human is also really handsome <3 Heart-fluttering

5. [+103, -1] Why does Eun Jiwon talks so eloquently? He looked immature on variety shows but he talked so prettily today ㅠㅠ As expected of Sechs Kies Eun Leader <3

6. [+91, -1] They only promoted for 3 years and disbanded at their peak. It was a forced disbandment... Watching today's episode, their disbandment didn't seem to be wanted by the members. They don't have a bad relationship or anything, which makes it more unfortunate.

7. [+88, -2] Sechs Kies' Couple is charting on Melon. I hope it climbs back on the chart and they promote the song <3

8. [+85, -0] I teared up when Kim Jaeduk showed his hair extensions to Ko Jiyong and he called it pretty. I cried when they predicted that Jaeduk would cry the most ㅠㅠ It's been 16 years but they know each other well.

9. [+71, -1] It's my first time of stanning a 90's group other than Shinhwa... Why are they so cool ㅠㅠ

10. [+67, -1] In the first generation of idols, computers and SNS weren't vitalized, so the fans were more caring.

Sechs Kies fans struggle to catch up on new fandom culture after 16 years

"Do fans still send wreaths? I want to do everything fans do these days. We're not dead!!"

- Fans do rice wreaths these days

- Rice wreaths!

- Yes. Rice wreaths, ramen wreaths, school supply wreaths, food wreaths, and etc. Fans choose whatever they want for the wreaths.

- Yes, I really want to do everything for them ㅠㅠ It's time to fire the bullets that I've kept for 16 years.

"If we're going to do rice wreaths, let's put brown rice instead of white rice since it's healthier."

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Brown rice is also yellow <3 (tn: Yellow is Sechs Kies' official color)

- Might as well do yellow millet ㅋㅋ

- Let's put all sorts of grains for the members' health ㅋㅋㅋ

Title: I'm the halmaemi (tn: old fan) that posted below. So there's no wreaths of red ginseng or vitamins?

"Thanks for answering my questions... So you really don't put up a banner? Then what do you do at a concert without a banner? And I didn't know that you're actually donating the rice. Fandoms do a lot of good deeds these days... So there's no wreaths of dog food or red ginseng? My oppa raises a dog."

Title: I'm a halmaemi from other gallery, can I ask some questions...

"I'm from the gallery of a first generation idol group that recently reunited... We're preparing for a concert and gifts. We're all halmaemis so we don't know a thing... I was looking for other active idol galleries and because SHINee and 2PM are the newest groups that I know, I decided to come here. Please help me with these questions..

1) What exactly are rice wreaths? Do the members eat the rice?

2) Fans don't put up a vertical banner at a concert these days? And what's a slogan?

3) There's no fanclub president? Then how are you supposed to contact the company?

4) Why can't we make placards?"

 

"You halmaemis do realize that the members don't actually eat the rice wreaths, right? You guys seem to be misunderstanding this ㅋㅋㅋ"

- Then who eats those? ㅠㅠ

- You're donating them ㅋㅋ

- I was also confused. So where do you donate them?

- They don't??

- Ah, I see! I didn't know ㅋㅋ I'm learning a new thing today ㅋㅋㅋ ㅠㅠ

- Oh, they don't? Yeah... I was wondering how they could take the huge amount of rice...

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You should've searched up rice wreaths at least ㅋㅋㅋ

Pann: Sechs Kies fans who are stanning after 16 years

1. [+188, -0] My favorite singer has a comeback once a year and I still want to do everything for them ㅋㅋ I can't imagine how it is to have waited for 16 years ㅋㅋ I understand them. And they're so cute ㅠㅠ

2. [+155, -0] Why are they so cute? ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+128, -0] Ah ㅋㅋㅋ I understand their feelings ㅋㅋ

4. [+68, -0] I read on a blog that the difference between stanning in the past and present was that they're going to the concert with their husband and kids and they don't have to worry about the time of the train. It made me tear up. I wonder how I'll be stanning in 15 years.

5. [+67, -0] My heart started beating faster when they mentioned grains. They must be in their 30's, why are they so cute ㅠㅠ

6. [+66, -0] "My oppa raises a dog" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+58, -0] They were young fans but now they're madams... Red ginseng wreaths... Their scale is different.

8. [+53, -1] "My oppa raises a dog" is so funny ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so cute

9. [+41, -0] The newest idols are 2PM and SHINee ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So cute

10. [+38, -0] "Who eats the rice?" "Fanclub president" ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Sechs Kies Ko Jiyong's visual

Pann: Visual of Sechs Kies Ko Jiyong who was born in a wrong era

1. [+160, -1] There's this famous anecdote. An HOT fan went to Ko Jiyong to throw a watermelon at him but she fell for his visual and gave him the watermelon.

2. [+117, -1] His family is well-off, so his celebrity career was a hobby for him. Other members stayed in the entertainment industry but he went off overseas to study. He's indeed very handsome.

3. [+112, -3] I don't think Sechs Kies has a visual hole

4. [+50, -0] Him and Click B Yoo Ho Seok aka Evan were the best. Even if they promote now, they wouldn't look old-fashioned. They're extremely handsome.

5. [+42, -0] As I was watching Infinity Challenge, I wondered why they looked so young when they were nearly 40... Their ages are similar to my company's chief and deputy but I couldn't feel it. They look really young, no wonder why they're celebrities. They had a long hiatus but still looking young and handsome~ Hah...

6. [+36, -1] Now that I think of it, they didn't have a visual hole. Eun Jiwon is aged and he had a choding image from 1N2D but he was handsome when he was promoting in Sechs Kies.

7. [+35, -1] His family is rich, too... He runs his father's business.

8. [+28, -0] He looks rich

9. [+26, -1] He was also good at studying. He lived in Dongbu Ichon-dong and he was the school president of Joongkyung High School. His school was against celebrity careers so he transferred to Anyang Arts High School. His university entrance exam scores were 360 out of 400. He could go to Yonsei University. He went overseas and is now running a business. He promoted as a celebrity but still got high exam scores, he was born to be elite. Male celebrities didn't get plastic surgery at that time, he was so handsome still. He's an unfair character.

10. [+26, -1] Ko Jiyong and Yo Ho Seok are handsome in a classy way.
