SS501 (pronounced as Double-S 501) is a South Korean boyband under management of Daesung Entertainment, also known as DSP Entertainment. SS501 stands for Superstar and unison of its 5 members until eternity (symbolized by the 0) as 1. They debuted in 2005 with their first single "경고" (Warning), with a second single "Snow Prince" released in late 2005. The group was inactive in Korea for most of 2006, although they have had a fan meeting in Japan in April1. The hiatus was due to Heo Young Saeng's throat condition which required surgery, thus resulting in a need for time to fully recover.[citation needed]. Around July - September 2006, they held their first concert, "Step Up Concert" in Osaka, Japan. In late 2006, they returned to Korea in order to promote their first full album, which was released on November 10. Singles from the album included "Unlock" and "Four Chance". As well as promoting the album on various variety and music shows, they also filmed a show on MNet called SOS. On their 600th day (January 28, 2007), they won the Mutizen award from SBS Inki Gayo for their song "Four Chance". As of 2007 they are planning to release an album in Japan (presumably in Japanese) sometime in the future[citation needed], and eventual releases may include a Thai version[citation needed].
A Japanese fanclub is currently being established with the name of "Triple S Japan"; it will officially debut on March 25, 2007, when SS501 will have its first official meeting with the group. In Korea, their fan club members number around 417,000[citation needed].
Recently the boys are in Japan with their new Japanese single "Kokoro" There are six types, each member recorded a solo and as well with the group. The single debuted 5th on the Oricon Chart. Currently, now the members are working hard on their Japanese Album, which the date is set to be Sept 19 for the release.
In 2008, SS501 returned to Korea with their single Deja Vu released on March 8, 2008. The title track was the first song to be promoted, and they started their comeback on music channel M.Net's M Countdown.1 After success with their single "Deja Vu", they began to promote their second single, "A Song Calling For You". They performed their Goodbye Stage on Music Bank on June 6th, 2008, to return to Japanese activities.
SS501 member Kim Hyun Joong was cast as the F4 member Hanazawa Rui in the Korean version of Hana Yori Dango, which is scheduled to be broadcast via KBS 2TV in the first half of 2009 with a total of 24 episodes. According to an official from Group Eight, the production house in charge of the drama, Kim Hyun Joong was selected to play Rui because he was deemed suited for the character. The decision was based on his performance in the MBC program “We Got Married” where Kim Hyun Joong is being coupled with singer Hwangbo.
On October 2, 2008, an official announcement confirmed Hyun Joong as part of the cast for Hana Yori Dango.
Due to two of the members' busy schedules, Jungmin performing in a musical and Hyun Joong filming a drama, SS501's album, originally due for release in late 2008, was to be pushed back to April 2009. Instead, a subgroup Triple-S is formed with the remaining members and a mini album UR Man released on November 25, 2008.
