[Oh!Ssen Talk] SECHSKIES Says, “We never thought we would become No.1 on charts abroad, and this is all thanks to YG.”
[OSEN=이소담 기자] SECHSKIES has recently released a new album for the first time in 17 years, and its songs are becoming viral across the globe, especially in Asia.
SECHSKIES released an album titled “THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY” on April 28 to mark the 20th anniversary of their debut. The album topped the charts in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. It took the second spot in Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam and the fifth spot in Indonesia.
In an interview with OSEN, SECHSKIES said, “We can’t believe we’ve become No.1 on charts abroad. It’s all thanks to YG” and praised YG’s global influence.
With artists like BIGBANG, 2NE1, WINNER, iKON, and BLACKPINK whose YouTube views go well over 100 million, YG has a strong presence not only in Asia but in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Drawing upon its systematic management, YG is not only nurturing music artists but also actors and actresses so that they can grow in the global market.
SECHSKIES’s album is also doing well in the domestic music scene. As of 8 AM on April 29, the album is at second place on Olleh, third place on Naver Music and Soribada, and fifth place on Melon. All the songs in the album made it to the top 100 on the Melon chart, which is remarkable and shows that SECHSKIES has a wide fan base.
SECHSKIES will be performing the title songs of its new album, “BE WELL” and “SAD SONG”, on MBC’s Show! Music Core on April 29 and on SBS’s Inkigayo on April 30.
