Eun Ji-Won and His Military Service
Eun Ji-Won was scheduled to start his military duty in 2010. But unfortunately, he was exempted from the army due to lack of education. His agency at that time, GYM Entertainment released a full statement regarding Eun Ji-Won’s exemption from the army. Eun Jiwon’s official military exemption was due to education under-qualification. He studied overseas in Hawaii during his middle school days. The school in Hawaii wasn’t recognized in Korea, and when he returned he became a transfer student in Kent Foreigners School, and his education was not recognized. Due to education under-qualification, he was rated level 4 for his physical examination results. Also at that time it was the IMF crisis, and there were many voluntary enlistments into the army. Thus his conscription status was adjusted to level 5, and he was automatically exempt from military service. Eun Jiwon has been continuously involved in solo activities, thus he does not have adequate time to complete his education. Also, after so many years of receiving exemption, even if he were to go for civil defense training [Translator Note: I think this is the training that those who finished military training go to] or sit for school qualification examinations, it will be too late for him to enlist for military service.
SECHSKIES Leader, Eun Ji-Won
Eun Ji-Won was discovered by Daesung Entertainment’s president, Lee Ho-Yeon, who was vacationing in Hawaii. Eun Ji-Won decided to leave Hawaii along with Kang Sung-Hoon to be a part of a boy group with 6 members, SECHSKIES and got the part of leader, main rapper, and sub-vocalist. The group lasted a long time, 3 years after they debuted in 1997. SECHSKIES decided to disband due hectic schedules, and upon agreement by the majority of the members. The former agency used to plan a lot of media appearances without consulting SECHSKIES, an that was one of the reasons behind the disbandment. On May 11 2016, SECHSKIES signed a special contract with YG Entertainment after their reunion on MBC’s “Infinite Challenge”, except Ko Ji-Yong who was busy with his company as CEO. SECHSKIES is still active as a group now, only with 5 members.
