SS501 Korea Airports Co

SS501 has been busy lately, traveling the world and making 20 minute music videos, but they've finally received a reward for their all hard work.

Yesterday, SS501 was appointed the official promotional "Goodwill Ambassadors" for Korea Airports Corporation. Check out the ceremony at Kimpo International Airport:

As you all know, I'm not the biggest SS501 fan, but this news is sickening. The news is describing Kim Hyun Joong as the main factor for all of SS501's success. Sure, KBS Boys Over Flowers and MBC We Got Married were popular, but have they forgotten the music show wins from Triple S' "U R Man"?

Triple S has more than proved that they are just as worthy of praise, and that they don't need Kim Hyun Joong to succeed. Triple S has voiced their disappointment before, so reading this kind of news has got to make them feel shitty.

This Engrish speaking, voice cracking, terrible excuse of a guitar player led SS501 to greatness?

I beg to differ.

Thanks to Alan03 for the help and Eunice Lee for the tip!

That’s cool. I like SS501 but yeah i agree.. KHJ can’t really take all the credit. As a group, they did a good job in supporting each other so they shouldn’t really focus all the attention to Leader. All though he did have popular shows and all if the other 4 didn’t back him up it won’t be as successful.

You can’t blame HJL for the media giving him the spotlight. It’s not like he’s saying “LOOK PEOPLE, I AM THE REASON WHY SS501 IS SO GREAT.” Fingers should be pointed at the media for getting their facts wrong.

i love SS501 there like my no 1 fav band   im glad they are being reconised =D

however kim hyun joong is not the source of their success without the othe rmemebers he would of debuted with the group and he might not of been as popular plus all the othe rmembers are hwat makes the group unique so hes not the source of their sucess

Kim Hyun Joong is not the greatest leader imo, he just got well known thanks to an overhyped character in an overhyped show . He’s not even the best looking of the bunch lol.

Well, should we blame KHJ for all the attention focus on him? Did he the one who claimed that he is the reason of the current group’s popularity? Just think carefully before one decided to bash on him.

i only like the leader, but they sure are hot. lmfao. not that big of a fan, but not a hater.

I really love SS501, and actually love all the members individually aswell, but hyunjoong getting all the limelight is starting to grate on me… Its not his fault though, its the media. In korea they like to place emphasis on just ONE member as being the standout. during wonder girl’s Tell Me it was all about sohee, back when SNSD debuted it was all about tiffany, when 2pm came out everyone seemed to really like nich khun. i guess hyunjoong is just the current golden boy of the group, but i actually think some of the other members are more fun/interesting. i like him but… his acting in BOF was so wooden… like a plank of wood… same expression. and yeah, some of their noses look different 0_o

nice hair yo.

I guess it does beat the meaning of their band name doesn’ t it? five members as one.. Though it isn’t kim hyun joong’s fault that he has the busy schedule.. i guess the little details of him while he was away from the band really counts. he’s a leader afterall. mybad for commenting twice.

Good for them! IT IS TRUE that HJ’s popularity brings a lot of benefit to SS501. Not that other members do not contribute to the fame, but leader’s success is also the group’s advantage. THERE ARE LOTS, LOTS OF NEW FANS CAME TO KNOW THE EXISTENT OF SS501 ONLY THROUGH HJL. There are tons of comments like that on Youtube, or any other SS501 website.

CONGRAATS TO OUR BOYS <3

kim hyunjoong is definitely not the main factor to SS501’s success but rather more popularity than before after being in WGM and BOF.

but anyways, SS501 FIGHTING :D

Wow! So proud of them. HJ looks so good with specs.
What’s wrong with HJ’s popularity? He’s SO deserved it. I only know of SS501 because of BOF’s Kim Hyun Joong.

 
pangstar's avatar

i think this article was a little harsh on HJL.
I know i can be Hyunjoong biased sometimes but, i think that its the media who puts the lime light on him. The other members are succesful as well, in their fields.HJ may have more attention but it helps SS501 get more attention too.

@31. deserve it, he did.

They are all looking so damn fine smile

TheProdigy, YOU MUST BE ONE OF THOSE UGLY ANTIS OUT THERE! Each of the members of SS501 did contribute to the group’s success, but it’s also true that HJ’s popularity brought a lots of new fans, and new oppotunities to SS501.
Congrat to SS501! Way to go, boys!

congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes they should get somthing for all hard work they do…..
love ss501

WTF…....Leader is not the reason behind SS501’s success! I’m also mad about this ‘cause I’m also a TRIPLE S member.
He maybe the most popular but he is NOTHING without the boys.
I’ve had enough with the “hyunnies” and ignorant people who only see him and not the ones he is part of. I’ve ignore all those who have thought of it and has labeled it as Kim Hyun Joong and SS501. HELLO it’s not SS401 feat Kim Hyun Joong.
As a Triple S member this is insult and will not be taken likely among our members.
Each member has their own greatness and talent that has helped put where 501 is. And that’s what 501 stands for. FIVE FOREVER AS ONE. KBS needs to get their shit right.

yea this article is a little harsh on KHJ
it’s not his fault that the media focus all the attention to him
if there is anyone to blame. that’s the media
plus, hyunjoong’s popularity is also an advantage to SS501
and i agree that there are many ppl who came to know SS501 because of Hyunjoong
(myself included)

I DISAGREE WITH THE ARTICLE. I CAME TO KNOW OF SS501 BECAUSE OF WGM & BOF. YOU SHOULD AT LEAST THINK, BEFORE PUBLIC SUCH A HARSH ARTICLE ON SOMEBODY. ANYWAY, CONGRAT TO SS501! LUV THEM TONS

OMG! HyunJoong looks very hot in the pic though! But it is so unfair to give him all the credit for Double S! Triple S were doing awesome without him…=/

Kim Hyun Joong is like the Eric Mun of SS501. He brings the attention to the group but he lets the boys have the limelight when they are together as a group. And even when promoting for BOF he always introduced himself as “SS501’s Leader Kim Hyun Joong”...he’s a good leader and the rest of the boys are very talented as well. I did not know the boys until I saw hyun joong in WGM and now i like all of them as a group.

WTF WITH THAT LAST ARTICLE! WTF D<
How can they say Leader was the one that caused SS501 success. They were already successful! DAFUCK!

This is bullshit man. I hate that article >_>
SS501 can succeed alone. Not just leader making it.

Either way, I still love them no matter what! Forever Triple S!

P.S: They’ve already succeeded long time ago D<

 
no avatar

YAY..! Good for them! Congrat SS501! HJ fighting..!
This article is not fair for Leader. I knew nothing about SS501 until I watched BOF with HJ as Jihoo, and that the cases with a lot of my friends too.

I TOTALLY AGREE. Groups like SS501 and a bunch of others that appoint their leader as their “key to success”. I hate it. I feel bad for the other members.
