Introduction

Eun Ji-won (은지원) is a South Korean rapper, dancer, composer, host and leader of the first generation idol group SECHSKIES (젝스키스) under YG Entertainment.
He first made his debut with SECHSKIES on May 14, 1997 with the album School Byeolgok (학원별곡) and went on to make his solo debut on October 27, 2000 with the self-composed mini album "G".

During his solo promotions he faced heavy criticism from SECHSKIES fans, as he changed his music genre from Pop to Hip-Hop, although many argued saying SECHSKIES had many hip-hop influences in their music.
In 2004, Jiwon made his acting debut, in the romance comedy film "Marrying a High-School Girl (여고생 시집가기)", which he had later announced that he was forced into the role by his company at the time, even noting the reason he shaved his head was to get out of the role.

During his time solo, he had joined Tiger JK's crew "Movement", and had created music and performed with them for a few years.
Jiwon is also considered an entertainment icon, appearing on many variety shows and earning himself the nickname "Eun Choding" (Elementary-kid Eun) for his childish personality on television.

In February of 2010, Jiwon announced his marriage with Lee Sooyeon, yet three years later it was announced that they had gotten a divorce in the August of 2012.

In 2011, Jiwon had formed and led a new group, Clover, with members Glime and Mr. Typhoon, which was met with outstanding positivity despite being a hip-hop group.
After a few years of promotion with Clover and focusing on television promotions, Jiwon had reunited with SECHSKIES, having a reunion concert through the variety show Infinite Challenge. The group had later signed a contract with YG Entertainment to start promotions again, after their sudden disbandment in 2000.

In March of 2018, Eun Jiwon had announced the re-openening his fanclub 1kyne (1 of a kind), and in August of the same year had signed an individual contract with YG Entertainment.
On June 6, 2019, it was revealed that Eun Jiwon was to make his solo comeback with his 6th studio album "G1" on June 27, he went on to hold solo concerts of the same name.
