Education: Korea International School (한국 외국인학교) ; 여의도초등- 윤중중-하와이 HMA 졸업-HPS(경영학과) 휴학중-KFS 졸업... OK so basically he went to school both in Korea and Hawaii
Debut: SechsKies (젝스키스) in 1997 with '학원별곡'; His solo Debut was in 2000 with 'Never, Ever..'(2000)

How he was discovered (supposedly)
젝키의 선발과정은 기획사 오디션의 다양한 형태를 보여준다. 거리 캐스팅, 아는 사람의 소개, 공개 오디션, 스스로 찾아와 보는 오디션에 이르기까지. 젝키의 처음 멤버가 캐스팅된 곳은 하와이의 한 나이트 클럽.
The first member of Jekki was casted at a nightclub in Hawaii. o_O

거기에 놀러 갔던 대성기획 사장이 강성훈과 은지원의 춤솜씨를 보고 즉석에서 캐스팅을 한 것. 그리고 고지용은 강성훈의 어머니의 소개로, 장수원은 공개 오디션을 통해, 김재덕과 이재진은 부산에서 오디션을 보기 위해 올라온 5인조 댄스그룹 멤버 가운데 탁월한 춤솜씨 덕분에 선발되었다.
DaeSung Co president, who went there on vacation, saw Kang SungHoon and Eun JiWon's dance skills and immediatedly casted them.......

Sounds too farfetched? Hah, yea given his family background I doubt this is true.

I can't believe there isn't a thread on him... Actually, yes I can (believe it). -__- He didn't release anything for like a year+ now.

He was the leader and rapper in the popular boygroup SechsKies. I think he was absolutely adorable during SechsKies days and still cute now. He was my favorite member. =)

I think he's pretty talented. I'm not gonna say that he's the best or anything because... he's not. And people may think that he's not talented at all because he's a "rapper".. But back in SechsKies days he sang too.. Yes, he mainly rapped back then too but he actually has a pretty good singing voice. And you know those SechsKies kids.. they were like dancing machines (ok maybe not really).

I like how he doesn't try to show off dancing and singing (like on X-Man and LoveLetter when he used to go on those) even though he can... And how he doesnt show off with his English.. And he's still funny/entertaining =)

I think it's interesting how he chose to become a rapper instead of a singer when he can sing..

I like "Murmur" from his 1st solo album & "만취 (drunk) In Melody" and "MoonDeuk (문득)" from his 3rd album. I think a lot of people heard his 4th album songs "올빼미 (All Famy)" and/or "One." I really hope he comes out with a new album and I hope that he sings a bit more. I like the tone of his voice =)

If you want a feel of what he was like earlier on his career.. I really recommend "무모한 사랑 (Wreckless Love)" by SechsKies from their Roadfighter album. If you watch their performance/MV you'll get a feel of his singing+rap+dancing.. Their dances are really cool, they're like crazy hopping bunnies

I think you can listen to some of his albums at solid. http://www.solid07.net/music/eunjiwon.shtml. I don't know, it doesn't work for me though.... Well, youtube is your best friend. =) I have some of his songs and if you guys wants a specific one.. PM me and I'll send it to you if I have it. I also have some shows that he was on but they're all pretty LQ..

Also, I uploaded some songs on myspace.

Filmography

..I translated the movie synospsis for both of the movies and then Soompi got all weird on me and now they are gone =( I'll translate again later.. Or something.

[세븐틴] Seventeen (1998)
Never watched this so can't say anything on it except it was known as the 'Jekki Movie' cus all of them were casted in the movie.. I plan on watching this when I get the time.. And if I can find it at the nearby video store next to me.... Doode, is that u;nee (pre surgery)?! o_o


[여고생 시집가기] High School Girl Gets Married (2004)
You can watch this on Youtube.. just search for "marrying high school girl" or just click http://youtube.com/results?search=marrying...e=search_videos. This movie is... interesting. I liked it but not because it was extraordinarily good or anything... JiWon isn't shown as much as you'd think from looking at the poster. The ending is FREAKING weird/stupid and the graphics can get childish at times.. but it is funny.


Various Game Shows
(X-Man, Love Letter (연예편지) , YaShimManMan (야심만만), Happy Together (해피투게더), ManWon's Happiness (만원의 행복), JeulGyuhChakGi (즐겨찾기), NolRuhWah (놀러와), YoonDoHyun's LoveLetter (윤도현의 러브레터) ChunSeng YunBoon (천생연분), Star Donation (스타도네이션), Music Shows.... ETC!)

THE LATEST NEW I CAN FIND ON HIM


Yah, sorry for the run-ons, I wanted to stay as true to the article as possible. It doesn't really talk about JiWon, just mentions him though! Basically talks of a big Movement HipHop Concert thing featuring Drunkin Tiger, Epik High, LeeSsang, Dynamic Dup, Yang DongGeun, Eun JiWon, Yoon MiRae, Bobbi Kim&BoogaKings(?), Double K, MCK etc. But this was back on 4/13/2006
Ok, Just kidding, the poster clearly says 5/13/2006.. I didn't know because the original article I had up didn't say the month and I found the poster lateron. YAY for JiWon doing something!

Him and Lee Hyori news.. I think they'd be cute together




First one's talking about how Hyori sings in Eun JiWon's 4th album. They say that she decided to partake in JiWon's album because of their special relationship. It talks about how they knew each other before they both went solo and how FinkL and SechsKies were in the same company. They were able to stay close because they both had smilar personalities... She sings in his 8th track (despite the fact that she never collaborates with other artists) titled "Love론" (Love Lon).

Second one talks about how Hyori planned on taking part in JiWon's MV for his title song (All Famy) but couldnt because of her drama 'three leaf clover" <in my opinion, she should'be just done the mv and screwed the drama -__-;;
