FORMATION
Eun Ji-won, who was studying abroad in Hawaii, was scouted by DSP Entertainment, along with friend Kang Sung-hoon in a nightclub.
The agency had originally planned to debut Eun Ji-won and Kang Sung-hoon in South Korea as duet, but with the success of SM Entertainment's male idol group H.O.T., the agency shifted gears to instead debut a six-member male idol group.
Kim Jae-duck and Lee Jai-jin at the time were members of a dance crew called ''Quicksilver'' in their hometown of Busan and had submitted an audition tape to Daesung Entertainment. Jang Su-won was cast during an open audition, and lastly, Ko Ji-yong, a childhood friend of Kang Sung-hoon, was cast as the final member of SECHSKIES.
On June 1, 2016, SECHSKIES guest on Radio Star, Kang Sung-hoon said that he selected all SECHSKIES members himself.
