SS501 (pronounced as Double-S Five-Oh-One or Deo Beul E Seu Oh Gong Il, Hangul: 더블에스오공일, Chinese: 雙五百強之一, Japanese: ダブルエスオゴンイル ) is a South Korean boy band formed under the management of DSP Media, formerly known as Daesung Entertainment and DSP Entertainment.[2] The group debuted in June 8, 2005 with five members: Kim Hyun-joong, Heo Young-saeng, Kim Kyu-jong, Park Jung-min and Kim Hyung-jun,[1] along with their debut mini-album entitled Warning.[3]

In May 2010, SS501 released their last album before their contracts ended entitled Destination, produced by Steven Lee.[4] One month later, in June 2010, upon the expiration of group's contract with DSP Media, all the members have subsequently moved to other management companies, to pursue solo careers, but Kim Hyun-joong, the leader, has stated that they have not disbanded.[5]

Etymology[edit]

The name of the band is a combination of letters and numbers that have special meaning. The first “S” stands for "Superstar", the second “S” is an abbreviation for "Singer", and the combination of 5, 0, and 1 symbolizes "five members united as one forever".[6] SS501's official fan club name is Triple S which means "Super Star Supporters (SSS)".[7] Their first studio album entitled ST 01 Now is a combination of "S" from SS501, "T" from Triple S, and "01 NOW" which, when combined altogether, means "SS501 and Triple S united as one from now until forever".[8]

History[edit]

Pre-debut[edit]

Before debuting with SS501, each members has had experiences in the entertainment world.

Kim Hyun-joong was initially about to debut in a five-member group, of which Han Yeon of B2Y (now disbanded) was to be the leader and Kim the youngest member.[9] During 2001 and 2002, while working as a waiter in a family restaurant located at Jamsil-dong, Kim was introduced to a new set up management company CEO. While the group underwent training together, they were asked by their company to debut in China as a Hallyu project group, but they rejected the offer and disbanded. Kim proceeded to audition for DSP Media (formerly DSP Entertainment) and became a member and the leader of SS501.[2]

Heo Young-saeng started as a trainee at SM Entertainment[10]. He, then transferred companies and joined DSP Media, formerly known as DSP Entertainment, instead, and became a member and the main vocalist of SS501.[2]

Park Jung-min was once became a commercial model for condoms[11]. When he was 13 years old, he was scouted by an agency and was accepted by both DSP Media and S.M. Entertainment. At that time, S.M. Entertainment told him that they were preparing a new group, but that the group consisted of many members, which according to Park was probably Super Junior since he saw them rehearsing too. Park eventually chose DSP Media because he believed that he would debut faster through DSP.[12][13][14]

Kim Hyung-jun appeared on Ock Joo-hyun's music video, "Catch" in 2004.[15] He was also the first one to be included in SS501, which means he had the longest training period.[16]

In addition, SS501 has had their first variety show before they officially debuted entitled SS501 M!Pick by MNET, documenting their pre-debut days and three months after their debut.[17]

2005–06: Debut[edit]

SS501 officially debuted on June 8, 2005 along with their first mini-album, "Kyeonggo" (Korean: "경고", "Warning");[3]. Their second mini album, Snow Prince was released in late 2005, five months after their debut.[18] During this time, they also established their official fan club name, "Triple S", and fan club color, pearl green.[7] The group earned popularity right away as they won many rookie awards after their debut.[19]

The group was inactive in Korea for most of 2006, although they had their first fan meeting in Japan in April of that year.[20] The reason was due to Heo Young Saeng's throat condition, which required a surgery, thus resulting in a need for time to fully recover.[21] In mid-2006, they held their first successful concert, "Step Up Concert" in Osaka, Japan.[22] In late 2006, they returned to Korea in order to promote their first studio album, which was released on November 10 entitled S.T.01 Now.[23] Singles from the album included "Unlock" and "Four Chance".[24] Alongside promoting the album on various variety and music shows, they also filmed a show on MNet, which was called SS501 SOS.[25][26] The group (excepting Heo Young Saeng, who was recovering from the surgery) also lent their voices for the 2006 animated movie Pi's Story.[27]

2007–08: Breakthrough success, Japanese debut, Boys Over Flowers, and sub-unit[edit]

Later in 2007, the group debuted in the Japanese market to further spread their activities and challenge themselves outside Korea.[19] A Japanese fan club was established with the name "Triple S Japan", which officially debuted on March 25, 2007, when SS501 had their first official meeting with the club.[28][29] The group at this time released their Japanese single "Kokoro", alongside multiple versions, including one with all members and five featuring each member individually.[30] The single debuted at the 5th spot on the Oricon chart, and moved to 3rd spot the next day.[31] It was also chosen as an ending theme song for an anime entitled Blue Dragon.[32]

SS501 appeared in the Japanese drama Hotelier as a cameo seen in episode seven.[33] In May 2008, Kim Hyun-joong joined the cast of We Got Married[34] along with Hwangbo in episode 9. The other members frequently appeared on the said show as well, while doing their Japanese activities and recording their upcoming second single.[35] Later in September, SS501 released their second single in Japan entitled Distance.[36] Finally in October 24, a month later, a full album was released with their self-titled album, SS501.[37] SS501 also received the "Newcomer Award" by Japan Gold Disc Award in January 2008; this was the first time for Korean artists to receive this award.[38]

SS501 returned to Korea with their single Deja Vu, which was released on March 13, 2008.[39] The title track was the first song to be promoted, and they began their comeback on music channel M.Net's M Countdown.[40] After their success with their single "Deja Vu", they began to promote their second single, "A Song Calling for You".[41] They performed their Goodbye Stage on Music Bank in June 2008, to return to Japanese activities.[42] Their third Japanese single was released on June 18, 2008 entitled Lucky Days.[37]

On October 4, the group represented Korea to perform at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, and received the The Best Asian Artist Award at the 5th Asia Song Festival, organised by Korea Foundation for International Culture Exchange.[43]

On October 2, 2008, Kim Hyun-joong was cast for his first lead-acting role as 'Yoon Ji-hoo' in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, officially named Boys Over Flowers,[44] a role for which he won the "Best Actor Award" at the Seoul International Drama Awards 2009[45] and the "Popularity Award" at the 45th PaekSang Arts Awards.[46] The series was broadcast on KBS during the first half of 2009.[47] During this time, around early 2009, Park Jung Min was also cast for his musical debut in Grease as "Danny Park",[48] where he received the award "Best New Musical Talent" by the Golden Ticket Awards.[49] While both Kim and Park were busy with their schedules, the remaining three members formed 'SS501 Project Group' with Heo Young-saeng as the leader. They released a project album named U R Man in November 2008, with a high tempo dance track "U R Man",[50] which the three remaining SS501 members promoted by themselves, with the exception of some special performances that included all five band members. The project group also performed "U R Man" in episode four of Boys Over Flowers, where they appeared for a cameo performance.[44] Moreover, they contributed to the Boys Over Flowers soundtrack with "내 머리가 나빠서" (Because I'm Stupid) track, in which they received multiple awards such as "Song of the Month (February)", "Best OST Award", and "Best TV Drama Song of the Year" just to name a few.[51][52]

SS501 released their official second Japanese studio album, All My Love, on May 13, 2009.[53] Although they were doing acappella performances during their past years before, it was their first time to record and include an acappella title track to their album, "All My Love".[37] A promotional tour was held in Japan in support of the album.[37]

In 2010, SS501 continued their 1st Asia Tour Persona concert in Thailand before holding their final encore concert, on February 27, in Seoul to conclude the tour.[63] Although the release of a new mini album was planned for May 1, 2010 (a nod towards "501" in the group's name, or as they call it "501" day), the date was pushed back in order to "add finishing touches". They performed at the 2010 Dream Concert later that month. Due to the fact that Kim Hyun-joong was still recovering from a previous injury, they sang two ballads instead of the rumored comeback track.[64]

Their last mini album before the contract's expiration entitled Destination was released on May 24, 2010.[4] The lead track, "Love Ya" was composed by Steven Lee, a song accompanied by an orchestra, and blended with a piano melody.[65] Their first win for the lead track, "Love Ya", was on KBS's Music Bank, on June 11.[66] On June 18, DSP announced that SS501 would end their "Love Ya" promotions due to the expiration of their contract on June 7, 2010, five years after since their debut.[5]

Kim Hyun-joong explained in an interview that, at the time, there wasn't a company that would accepted them as a whole, thus the group decided to take the chance to focus on their solo activities.
