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!

This article is a full of crap.
Sure Hyunjoong has made a big impact on SS501’s popularity but whoever took interest in SS501 because of Hyunjoong would have realized that all five boys are just fascinating.

#38 - So you are proud being a Triple S member.  Now you are bashing hyunnies as well and call people who like Hyun Joong more as ignorant?  I like Kim Hyun Joong and if he is not a member of SS501, I will not give SS501 a second look.

Why are people bashing on HJ??? It’s what the news reported, not him. STILL, YOU NEED TO GIVE HJ CREDIT FOR BRING IN LOTS OF NEW FANS AND PROSPECTS FOR SS501.

54. I’m only bashing the hyunnies that have constantly label them as Kim Hyun Joong with SS501. Separating the Leader from the Group making it seem as if it’s Kim Hyun Joong feat. SS401 instead.

u know when i first heard of Kim Hyun Joong
i kept getting him mixed up with Kim Hyung Joon

 
no avatar

So proud of SS501!!! Congratulation boys!
Everybody knows how great each member of SS501 is, but KHJ’s popularity does make a big impact on SS501’s recent achievements. THis article is not fair for him, AT ALL!

although talent-wise clearly kjh isnt amazing, however the fact that he tries so hard gives him extra points . he should be getting a fair amount of credit because he puts himself under so much stress through doing events and stuff . its a bonus that ss501 gets more recognition , and im sure kjh sacrificed alot for their growing fame : /

this is from a totally unbiased pov , cos clearly i would have wanted dbsk to be appointed (hence the username LOL)

and as a writer of akp , which i know has alot of readers , i think it honestly isnt nice to say stuff like that of him . stuff like this is quite ignorant and reminds me of anti-fans =_= ; reference to the last sentence .

TO ALL CRAZY PEOPLE SAYING THEIR NOSE CHANGED:

1. Any celebrity, especially a member of an Idol group would be INSANE to get plastic surgery when everyone knows what they look like. It’s like “Hey! anti-fans!! Look, I got a plastic surgery and now you can all bash me!!!!”
2. Why in the world would get a plastic surgery when they already look so good??
3. Their noses haven’t changed. Look at the other pictures or them. They looke the same. When they take these pictures, there’s so many flashes that anyone can look different.

I became HyunJoong’s fan when I saw him in WGM, but then I started taking notice at all SS501 members and now I love JungMin most….. 
I still love all five of them though

Poor Hyun Joong! Being bashed by stupid blogger. N yes he does bring work and attention to SS501. But hey, he never said that he’s abovse ss501 and he always gives credit his success to his bandmades and their efforts.

To all the SS501 followers, if you knew them well why are you gals trying to throw stones on HJL ? You all know very well how much he love the group and WON’T DO anything tacky as : ” HEY whole world check me out ” like that….did he asked the writer to write that article? Did he asks the media to label him as Hyun Joong the great of all SS501? Let’s face it each one of them has followers and they are the one that is causing some of these nonsense and you loyal fans of SS501 are joining in, in making these accusations more believable ? Shame on you if you do so. I am a huge fan of the group and never would I bashed or say hurtful things on these individual guys. I’m sure the boys will be hurt upon seeing all these nasty comments. Think about it.

TheProdigy should learn to research before attempting to write articles.  It’s not Kim Hyun Joong fault he’s more recognized in the group, the media perpetrated it. You might admit hes not the most talented in SS501 but you cannot deny they got more exposure due to him. I learned about SS501 through WGM.  I think hes talented in his own way. So before making fun of his engrish and guitar skills, learn how to write with constructive criticism.

The slant of this article is ridiculous. I am a big fan of SS501 as a whole group, and they are all very close. Kim Hyun Joong constantly gives credit to his members, and they give credit to him. And, it’s quite obvious that he is the most popular member and that his charisma is responsible for a great deal of their success. To say otherwise is to deny the obvious.

The “disappointment” referenced was from a passing conversation from a variety show that was far from even being serious.

Allkpop is generally slanted against SS501, and generally I don’t care because I’m used to the unfairness, but sometimes it’s simply ridiculous.

i think you are being too hard on hyunjoong, yes the news shouldnt have been ALL about him..but he has worked so hard too…it seems like your bashing him but he has been working so hard, look at how busy he is, and how many times he has collapsed..and its true that the rest of the group deserves applause too, but you had to admit that hyunjoong has been doing a lot more than they have…dont get me wrong i think it shouldnt have been ALL about HJ either but i dont think we should discard the fact that he has been working very hard..

Well they have been getting a lot more attention since Hyun Joong was in Boys Over Flowers. Just saying…

And it’s not his fault everyone is saying he’s “the main factor for all of SS501’s success”. He didn’t like go out and say that. People are making that up themselves and then going back and saying he can’t take all the credit. They’re all talented and make SS501 what it is.

Marry me Hyun Joong.

lol i love how u judge him based on one clip….

but yeah… thats stupid…
i mean kim hyun joong’s fame like helped a lot to get fans in other countries and probably increased his fan base maybe in korea…
but triple s did really well too. and they won awards and stuff for u r mannn

This article is way harsh.  It’s a fact that SS501 is benefiting tremendously from Kim Hyun Joong.  I agree he is not the most musically talented, but he has really put in effort to get his band lots of recognition.  Even in his recent interview (the one that chicken co did with 70 women) he said he would do more CFs if the opportunity came up, and specifically asked for more CF opportunities with the rest of his group, you can check it out on youtube.  I thought that was really sweet… and do you think it’s a coincidence that ss501 sang the OST for BOF?  There are so many benefits for all of them because of HJ… it’s up to the rest of the group to parlay it into a bigger success.

I’ve been watching and listening Korean drama and music for 4 years and honestly before bof I’ve never heard of ss501. After watching bof I was curious of HJL and it motivated me to watch WGM and that when I became ss fan. What I’m saying here is at some point HJL took SS501 popularity to the next level. Obviously he is not the main factor of the success, he even not the best singer in the group smile, but his popularity help ss501 to get more oportunity. If Korean media only mention him as the reason of the band resent success don’t blame hjl blame the media….

Wah! It’s great that SS501 got appointed as Ambassadors, but I’m kinda sad that the media is saying Kim Hyun Joong is the cause of all of this success for them. Sure he was in a popular drama and show, but you have to give credit to the other members too. They worked just as hard. Triple S carried on the group while the other 2 were doing their own activities and they should be given some praise. I would have to say that SS501 as a whole should be praised all together instead of by one individual. I guess it’s a bit advantageous for them, but not for the other members in the recognition department. Kim Hyun Joong had SS501 before his drama and show. I knew of SS501 before Hyun Joong’s hype and they are all talented together.

wait isn’t kim hyun joon in ss501? then what’s up with bashing him? are you retarded or something? just because he get the credit doesn’t mean he takes it. im sure he’s aware that it’s not only cause of him.

Wow good job for SS501! Not a huge fan but theyre def hot commodity right now. they deserve this and more. kyu jong is so cute:-)

 
CryMellow's avatar

Another point I wanted to say about my previous comment was that I’m not trying to bash him. I love Kim Hyun Joong and all, but Media is portraying him as the center of the light. I guess that’s what I’m trying to say. You’re right that he’s given credit and that doesn’t necessarily mean he take them, but Media is seriously doing damage control and I don’t like that at all. You can’t help how a celebrity is portrayed sometimes, but SS501 deserves a lot.

...okay

I’m a bit slightly disagree, you should not compare in the way of their ability, who become the main factor of SS501’s success is not so important because every members have contributed in the SS501 success. Either Hyun Joong did BOF and WGM or Triple S ‘U R Man” also for SS501 image thus you shouldnt compare that then may lead to the unhappy feeling among memebers. Everything they do is just for SS501.
