SECHSKIES showed the power of monster rookie with hit after hit "School Byeolgok (학원별곡)", "Remember Me", "The Way This Guy Lives - Pomsaengpomsa (사나이 가는 길 - 폼생폼사)". OhmyNEWS reported SECHSKIES debut album exceeded 1,700,000 ~ 1,800,000 copies (but this may be a combined figure for the first two albums which were released back to back).
The physical sales of SECHSKIES' albums remain unclear not only because of DSP's under-reporting but also because the official records do not exist for albums released before September 1998. For further information on SECHSKIES' album sales record, read SECHSKIES discography.
Shortly after, SECHSKIES made their much anticipated comeback in October 1997 on KMTV's "Recharge 100% Show" and began promotional activities for their second album release. Their second album titled Welcome to the SECHSKIES Land, a 20-track album formatted as a fictional amusement park known as "SECHSKIES Land", was released on November 1, 1997.
They quickly began promoting the album's title track "Chivalry (기사도)" on various music programs, which gave the group their first #1 spot on SBS Inkigayo on December 7, 1997.
