* I spazz a lot over this group. Bear with me? ^_^
So I was talking with
oneday2005 over MSN...and I guess over at CR she really liked my profile song, which was, of course, A Song For You (remix) by SS501. Which lead to me telling her what to watch/listen to by them. Which kind of lead to this post, because I'm cool like that. :D I even get to use Leader as my icon! :DDD So mainly this post is for her, and all those people who wanted to know who SS501 was but never actually got into them. D:
So. This is SS501. (pronounced Double S Five Oh One). Because the "Double S" stands for Super Star and the 501 represents all five members becoming one or some kind of logic like that. Whatever, it works. They belong to DSP (Daesung) Entertainment, which personally no one really likes after they had A'ST1 do some promo thing proclaiming "Defeat Super Junior" and ELF (SuJu's fangroup) went apeshit and yeah. That's a story for another day.
( Double S Five Oh One!! )
L--R: Jungmin, YoungSaeng, Leader (HyunJoong), Baby (HyungJoon), KyuJong.
Another group pic shall we?

L--R: Baby (HyungJoon), Jungmin, Leader (HyunJoong), KyuJong, YoungSaeng
(why does Leader always look so tired...?)
Let's meet the members!!
Kim HyunJoong



-Name/Nickname: HyunJoong, aka LEADER
- DOB: June 6, 1986
- He's the leader of the group, because he's the oldest (isn't that how it normally is decided in kpop groups?). It's okay if you get his name mixed up with Kim HyungJoon, aka Baby, because we called the leader Leader, and Baby Baby. more on this later?
- He's gorgeous. He's beautiful. People said he looks like Yamashita Tomohisa, which I totally don't see. I see more of Akanishi Jin. But this is my opinion, and if you don't like it, then screw you. :D
- He's crazy, he's funny, and he loves to sleep/hard to waken (watch "Thanks for Waking Us Up" and you'll see what I mean)
- He plays guitar..and he recently held a special stage with TOP of Big Bang, another gorgeous guy if you ask me. :D
- He is playing the role of Hanazawa Rui in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango. DAMN.
Heo YoungSaeng



WHY SO SERIOUS?*does evil Joker voice*Name/Nickame: YoungSaeng, aka Otter, aka Saeng, because I'm too lazy to type out his full name.
- DOB: November 3, 1986
- please don't ask me why his nickname is Otter. I have no idea. D:
- He has the best voice (again, my opinion) in the group. Think of a Yesung look-a-like with Ryeowook's voice.
I seriously have to stop using Super Junior references. SS501 was inactive throughout much of 2006 because Saeng had a throat condition that required surgery and instead of going on without him, they took the time off. :D
- He's pretty serious when it comes to TV shows, but we all know he's super dorky and always tries to return to his "cool demeanor" after he's done joking around.
- I LOVE HIS HAIR.
Until he dyed it that horrible light brown in Deja Vu and SFU Remix MVs
- totally unrelated,
but I have a friend who looks so much like him I keep thinking she's like his twin or something.Kim KyuJong



- Name/Nickname: KyuJong
-DOB: February 24, 1987
- I do not flail so much over him. I do not know why. I should.
- In "Thanks for Waking Us Up" he's almost always the first member to wake up, so he never has to go through Park Kyung Lim's punishments.
- In the same show (above) he sleeps with a giant teddy bear that's about the same size he is. :D
- He has the 2nd best voice in the group (again, my opinion..don't like it, then STFU.)
- I don't have anything to say about him. Except that he's asdklfjasdklfjadsklfjsadfklasjdf calm and cool and akdjfalksdfjadsklfjasdlfkajsdf hot and yeah. HELLO!! LOOK AT THAT LAST PIC!!
Park Jungmin



- Name/Nickname: Jungmin, aka Horse
- DOB: April 3, 1987
- Before I continue, I have to say this.
iconlovesu despises Jungmin. He's one of the top three of her "FUGLY LIST", and calls him HomoHorse. :DDDDDD
- Jungmin is crazy and whatnot. Many of us have questioned his sexuality and whatnot but I'm cool with however he identifies himself with, because he's just cool.
- He's called Horse because he loves carrots and sometimes neighs like one. If you ever watch Hyunderella (spoof on Cinderella), he acts like a horse and it's quite funny and disturbing. I think that's one of the places where some people wonder if he's ghei. *shrugs*
- After Leader, he's very hard to wake up. He will MURDER you, as in throw pillows at you, grab your hair and bite your arm if you try to wake him up. He tortures Baby like this every time and it's funny yet frightening to watch. *_*
- He has this ultra super super bright smile that gets me every time I see it. :D
Kim HyungJoon



-Name: HyungJoon, aka Baby
- DOB: August 3, 1987
- Remember under Leader's section I was saying how it was confusing to differentiate between HyunJoong and HyungJoon? Well, here is the 2nd part to the confusion. However, us fans call HyungJoon Magnae ( youngest one ,baby in English) so we'll call HyungJoon Baby and HyunJoong Leader. Still confused? Look at where the "G"s are placed.
- Baby. What can I say about him? He's probably my 3rd favorite member but that doesn't count. He sings, he dances, he raps!!! he gets picked on a lot, he does everything. He's cute, but is also very hot.
- another totally unrelated point, but his younger brother Kibum is a member of the new group U-Kiss. You know them. They're the ones who are a mix of Big Bang, SHINee and Soulja Boy wearing Kobe Bryant jerseys in the video. But that has nothing to do with Baby. except for his brother..and his brother being in U-Kiss... i'm getting nowhere.*headdesks*
- Baby, being the baby of the family gets picked on a lot. As in, watch "Thanks for Waking Us Up" and you'll see what I mean. Jungmin pulls his hair, Leader strangles him, and he is accused of a "crime" in which he did not commit! And he cries each time and it's so heartbreaking to see. :D
</div></div>
*Is she done yet? Of course not! :D
( More more more!! )Of course, there are always videos one should watch to interest themselves further in a subject. I sound so scholarly.
Deja Vu MV
- Deja Vu was their comeback single in Korea after spending much time in 2007 in Japan. One of my favorite MVs..Especially the dibidibidibidipdip parts come up.
</lj-embed>
A Song For You (Remix) MV
- One of their cheerful, get up and dance type songs. The original song was a darker one and was included in the single; this one is not. ( I think). I do wish Leader had picked me.
</lj-embed>
Unlock MV
- Ummm...yeah..another MV of theirs. I love the beat. And they walk around in this closed off room with spray paint, paint buckets and motorcycles. So badass.
</lj-embed>
Fighter MV
- quite possibly my favorite MV out of all of them. They workout, they sweat, they dance, they sing. Saeng's hair in this is love. And OMG at blonde! Jungmin and Kyujong. You don't get to see much of Leader in here. >_< And for some reason, Baby would make the perfect L in the Korean version of Death Note in some scenes.
</lj-embed>
*note: These are just their Korean singles/albums. For their Japanese albums
go to Youtube and look them up yourself I'll post the links in the next couple of hours. It's past midnight here and I'm sick. </div>
Interested in SS501? then /look at this pimp post for some pictures, downloading MVs and singles and a bit more information:
