Black6ix was a six member group under Black Hole Entertainment and their name means “six boys with infinite potential"… that or the company just needed an excuse for how uncreative they were about naming things. The members were Taeyoung, Yongseok, Jongwoon, Ziki, Yey, and The-King and their fans were called Black Pearls.
They debuted on 170407 with the digital single Please, after which they released two other digital singles, Like a Flower and Alone on 170903 and 180203 respectively. They seemed to have a solid start, with both of their first two singles breaking a million views each on 1theK (원더케이)'s youtube channel, but their third never surpassed 200k for whatever reason and it just seems like they were never quite able to climb back up. After releasing two other mini albums, they eventually disbanded on 210416 with little more than a basic announcement.
I couldn’t find any major issues or backlash that might have affecting them, so I can only assume they were just one of the many “middle of the road” type groups that come and go all the time in this industry. Could they have gone further? Did they deserve more attention? Sure, they certainly had everything from the talent to the image, but it just… didn’t happen; idol life simply isn’t meant to be forever.
Getting to the songs themselves, Like a Flower is the best of this bunch for me (although that rap section in the middle really needs to be cut), followed by Alone, Please, and then Universe. And finally, the last song on this medley, the OST, was done by members Ziki and The-King (the two rappers of the group) and is called Fighter. It was released on 200503, a couple years after the digital singles, but it felt best to add it here rather than to one of the two mini albums they released in between.
