Korean boy bands B.A.P and VIXX will go back to the 1990s by singing to old K-pop songs on Mnet's music show this week. B.A.P and VIXX will transform themselves into H.O.T and Sechs Kies on Mnet's "M! CountDown" this evening, according to the broadcaster's press release.Mnet officials explained that the reason for the special 1990s stage is to recall H.O.T and Sechs Kies' popular tunes through the rookie groups' performance.B.A.P is expected to put on the same stage costumes as H.O.T and perform their rendition of H.O.T's 1996 song "Warrior's Descendant," while VIXX will appear as Sechs Kies to dance to the former idol group's 1997 hit "The Way This Guy Lives." Being one of the most up-and-rising K-pop idol groups, B.A.P is scheduled to drop the repackaged version of their first mini-album "NO MERCY" on August 29. Consisted of Ravi, Ken, Leo, HongBin, N and Hyuk, VIXX broke into the music scene with the first album “SUPER HERO” on May 24. The boys are currently promoting their new single "Rock Ur Body."Meanwhile, other performers on tonight's "M! CountDown" are BEAST, ERU, AOA, F.CUZ, Solbi, Phantom, Two X, D-Unit, Tasty, Skarf, Choshinsung, EXID and Fresh Boyz.
