A coalition of Sechs Kies fans has released a statement opposing the possibility of Ko Ji-yong rejoining the group's activities. The fan coalition expressed regret over Ko Ji-yong's attempts to join Sechs Kies and take part in a reunion, and demanded that his agency and related officials halt the effort. They also called for an end to commercial and personal activities using the Sechs Kies name and trademark.

■ Statement Posted on the DC Inside Sechs Kies Gallery

On the 2nd of this month, a statement issued in the name of a fan coalition was posted on the DC Inside Sechs Kies gallery. Through the statement, the fan coalition made clear its opposition to Ko Ji-yong joining Sechs Kies activities or attempting to participate in a group reunion. They emphasized that Sechs Kies, which debuted in 1997, is a group that has been sustained by the efforts of its members and fans.

In particular, the fan coalition took issue with Ko Ji-yong's conduct since announcing that he would step away from group activities to focus on his main career. The coalition claimed that Ko Ji-yong had used the Sechs Kies name and fandom for personal gain and commercial promotion, and the statement asserted that such actions had disappointed fans.

■ Three Demands Contained in the Statement

The statement included three demands.

First, the coalition opposes Ko Ji-yong joining Sechs Kies and any future return to group activities. They argued that after having stated he would not participate in group activities, his attempt to once again use the group's name cannot be accepted.

Second, they demanded that the agency and related officials heed fans' opinions and stop pursuing Ko Ji-yong's addition to the group. They also raised concerns that proceeding with his addition without fans' trust could negatively affect the group's image and create discord within the fandom.

Third, they urged Ko Ji-yong to cease commercial and personal activities using the Sechs Kies trademark and the group's name.

■ 'We Will Continue Opposition Activities Until Our Demands Are Met'

The fan coalition also stated its intent to protect the honor of Sechs Kies and the rights of the members who are currently maintaining the group. They conveyed that they would continue their opposition through various means until their demands are accepted.

However, the claims regarding Ko Ji-yong's commercial use contained in the statement represent the fan coalition's position. The specific facts regarding whether a return to the group is actually being pursued, and the circumstances surrounding trademark use, cannot be confirmed by the statement alone.
