(YG Entertainment)

YG Entertainment on Thursday released photos of five-member boy band Sechs Kies.

The group had debut in the 1990s under DSP Media and was considered one of the most influential boy bands of that period. It had six members then, but only five of them signed contracts with the agency YG Entertainment in May. They were on hiatus for 16 years.

The recent photos were meant to promote their two-day concert on Sept. 10 and 11. Taken against a yellow backdrop, they are reminiscent of pictures of the band during their heyday.

MBC’s show “Infinite Challenge” helped pave the way for the band to make a comeback.
