SS501 (pronounced as Double-S 501 or Deo Beul E Seu Oh Gong Il (더블에스오공일) in Korean) is a very popular South Korean boy band under management of Daesung Entertainment, also known as DSP Entertainment. The name of the band is a combination of the alphabet and numbers that have special meanings in them. The first “S” stands for “Super” “Star” . The second “S” is an abbreviation for “Singer”. The number 5, 0, and 1 means “five members united as one forever”. So SS501 has a message of let’s become a sensational singer as 5.
History
2005-2006: Debut
SS501 debuted on June 8, 2005 with their first single “Kyeonggo” (Korean: “경고”, “Warning”), with a second single “Snow Prince” released in late 2005. The group was inactive in Korea for most of 2006, although they had a fan meeting in Japan in April.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. In mid-2006, they held their first successful 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 and titled S.T.01 Now. 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. The group also lent their voices for the 2006 animated movie Pi’s Story.
