[News][2011.01.10] DSP's going to make new group SS502
DSP Entertainment held an audition for a follow-up group to SS501 and has announced that the new 7-member group will be called SS502 for the time being.
SS501, whose name stands for "Super Star," "Singer," and "5 members united as 1," debuted in Korea in 2005 and Japan in 2007. In October 2010, it was announced that they would be back in 2011 with an album, but in the meantime the members are doing solo work. Hyunjoong filmed Playful Kiss, while Youngsaeng and Kyujong are holding fan meetings across Asia. On January 20, Jungmin will be releasing his comeback solo album "Not Alone."
Considering the "501" from SS501 stands for "5 members united as 1," does this mean that "502" in SS502 does not have the same "5 members united as __" meaning? What do you think about this new group and its meaning?

It's ridiculous to think that naming your son Elvis II is going to make him like Elvis in any way. SS502 will give the new group such a shadow that they can't get rid of. The new group deserves a new name, original and cool name. If the company can't come up with one, let the new group think of one themselves.
ReplyDeleteSS501 is unique, not something from a cookie cutter that you can make again and again. What are they thinking? SS502 is laughable.
ReplyDeleteI think (I HOPE!) DSP is making fun of us! Its so ridiculous to think that a new group will be SS502...its a nonsense. Really. If this is a joke, its a very bad joke. Its like DSP is going to make ridiculous what SS501 were, are and what they've done.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous! What are they trying to do? Are they trying to clone SS501? And I agree with what Wendy said above, they'll be living under the shadow of SS501 for the rest of their entertainment careers. DSP should definitely come up with something more original. They don't need 502. I think this is another way of milking money off SS501 indirectly. There will be increased interest in the group.
ReplyDeleteCome on DSP. After coming up with Lee Hyori, SS501 and Kara just to name a few, cant you come up with something original and just as good?
