The team was met with positive reception and rose to fame with their hit songs PomSaengPomSa and Couple. Eun described his time with Sechs Kies as hectic due to back-to-back schedules paired with little rest.[6][7]

In 1998, Eun made his on-screen debut, playing the lead role in the film Seventeen, which also featured fellow Sechs Kies members.

On May 18, 2000 Sechs Kies announced their disbandment. Despite their success, the group collectively to disband with hopes to succeed in the future.[8] Following the disbandment, the group released a final track online, titled "Thanks".

Under Waltz Music Entertainment[9] he released his third album, Drunk in Hip Hop (including title track "Drunk in Melody") in September 6, 2003.[10] The album was Eun's breakthrough into the hip-hop scene, solidifying his status as a rap artist and shedding his idol image.

Eun repackaged his third album, including an alternate version of "Mi Casa Ro" and "Never, Ever" from his first solo album.

Eun starred in the romantic comedy Marrying a High-School Girl (여고생 시집가기) , which was released on December 23, 2004. The film was met with poor reviews and was criticized for its absurd plotline. Eun recounted that he was forced into the role, noting how he shaved his head in an act of rebellion against doing the film.[citation needed]

Eun was a member of The Movement Crew (무브먼트), a hip-hop crew founded by Tiger JK, and performed at the group concert on May 13, 2006. Eun credits Tiger JK as a major influence in his musical style.
