"It's the five guys' profiles."

"Ever since these 5 boys have gathered, 5 years has passed by."
Not just possessing the musical talents of a gasoo, but taking the time to capture and collect the different talents of an entertainer, they spent much time pruning these things. SS501 (Double-S Oh Gong Il)

SS501 was a name that took English and numbers into consideration when when being formed. The first S in SS stands for Sun, Star, as well as the future success that lies in their path. The second S stands for Singer. The last letters 501 stand for five people becoming one. So collectively, it stands for five singers who will become one to truly become stars.

The team's leader, Kim Hyunjoong was someone that clearly stood out and was hand-picked by the casting director. The second was someone that was picked later after all the others had been selected, when a friend introduced Huh Youngsaeng and he auditioned and was chosen this way. The third, Kim Kyujong was picked through a contest that DSP put on. He got through all the tough competition and was later chosen for the group. The fourth, Park Jungmin, was chosen through the audition as well, but his career as a VJ was something that gave him a lot of points for the judges to view him favorably upon. The last, the baby, Kim Hyungjoon, was the first to be chosen before anyone else. He waited patiently for the rest of his members to be chosen, therefore he has the longest amount of official training.

SS501 even has a plan with the sort of activities they do. Up till the time they were to debut, they decided to do most of their activities as a whole, however after some time had passed, they started to do solo activities as well. As multi-entertainers, they have their talent and skills to use for their music activities as a group, but they also have personalities and talents to show off for their individual activities. Each member has their own hopes and concerns for acting, producing, and solo activities. Most of them all are interested in acting. Hyunjoong and Jungmin are currently receiving lessons in acting, while collecting acting experience. Hyungjoon and Youngsaeng both intentions and are working towards solo careers as well. Kyujong has shown interest in music producing since his audition, and he is currently taking classes to work wards his dream of becoming a producer.

Thank you,
SS501.
