Origins & Early Life

Lee Jai-jin (Korean: 이재진; born July 13, 1979) is a South Korean singer and dancer. Lee is the sub-rapper and main-dancer of the South Korean boy group Sechs Kies. Lee and Kim Jae-duck formed a dance crew called "Quicksilver’" in their hometown of Busan, and was selected as a trainee in Lee Juno's company. Lee Juno was famous as Seo Taiji and Boys' member. At that time Lee Ho-yeon, Daesung Entertainment's CEO, asked him to recommend a idol group member.

Career & Major Achievements

That is how he became a Sechs Kies' member.[1] In 2016, Kang Sung-hoon said that he had watched the audition tape and chosen Lee as a member for his superior dancing skill and good looks. Lee debuted as a member of Sechs Kies, signed under Daesung Entertainment, in 1997. Along with Kim Jae-duck, he created the choreography for most of Sechs Kies' music videos. Sechs Kies achieved great success and became an icon of the 1990s Korean idol groups. However, Sechs Kies suddenly disbanded in 2000 after finishing their fourth album's promotion.

Enduring Legacy & Impact
