Back to Korea, SS501 performed "Find" on Music Core today much to the delight of their fans. During the performance many of the fans were chanting with conviction / passion, showing their appreciation.
I never really got into SS501, but after watching the performance of "Find" I think I may have found a new talented group to follow. Maybe this time around, they'll get to the next level and reach Big Bang, Super Junior, or DBSK status ... or maybe not.
Here's the performance:

i like ss501!!!!! i liked their song: song calling for you!!! it was catchy…
their performance was ok..
jungmin is one hilarious dude!!!
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:25 PM
I think they will only improve given time. They got good looks anyway :D
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:35 PM
Eh, I don’t think so.
Maybe if they’re promoted more.
But thank god Kyujong’s hair hasn’t reached
Japan’s point yet of length like everyone else’s.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:36 PM
YoungSaeng has really nice vocals, the others were alright. And to be honest, I don’t think they’ll reach the status of the three groups that you mentioned.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:42 PM
i think not TVXQ is way over them in korea and japan
and i do like them
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:46 PM
DBSK pwns more in my opinion.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:49 PM
DBSG fuccin suck at singing. damn their mass promotions giving them popularity they dont deserve.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:52 PM
I really like the song…its wow…I thought they were dying…I like the songs that they made from their debut but their songs now are just flop…it doesn’t show case their vocals…but this song is just really good that I have it…it’s my first CD from SS501, too…but the MV is just…lols…Jung Min is such a guy, he destroyed the mood of the song…
but Young Saeng owned the song…he’s like the only one singing it…
well, he was an SM Trainee…I don’t expect any less from him…
Young Saeng and Hyung Joon are love by me…lols…
anyway, nah…they’ll never reach DBSK’s status…as long as DBSK exists ...they’ll be the top group for this generation, at least…
I wish they would continue singing this kind of songs…
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:53 PM
@pkdlsdkq9238…they won’t be known in Japan as a vocal group if they do suck in singing…what a piteous creature you are…
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:55 PM
Honestly, I never heard of these dudes before, but I don’t know, I think they have what it takes to make it in KPop. But I just think they need to be exposed a whole lot more than from what I’ve seen & just give them a lot more time. I think they definitely have the image, because for some reason, two of them remind me of Super Junior members. So of the dudes are kinda cute too. I don’t know them, but after this, I think I will try to learn more about them.
—-
By the way, I wonder what their name stands for.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:56 PM
The melody is catchy, but typical.
Aug 09, 2008 - 05:56 PM
Ooo not bad song…but i still think dbsk is much better
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:01 PM
@pkdlsdkq9238
I so agree with you! There popularity is just fueled by money, not talent.
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:03 PM
I don’t think they’ll never be at the top of the charts..
I actually think their vocals need A LOT of work cause their voices sound strained.
The song sounds good, but…. they still need work.
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:06 PM
I like the song(:
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:28 PM
i like them after hearing this =/
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:31 PM
oh this one was the bad performance (not really, just not as well as other times), you should check the other one, a wholeeeee lot better.
ss501 - star singers if i’m not mistaken, 501 = five becoming one..
if you wanna get to know them better, check out waking up on youtube with park kyung lim.. lol they’re really cute.<3 and they do have talent, definitely can sing.
i think they will make it big.
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:33 PM
i think its a good song and the perf was good too even though younseang sang 2/3 of the song. they need to come out w/ better songs though.
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:34 PM
What they need is better promotions.
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:34 PM
awe i love this song<3
and they really aren’t that bad :]
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:35 PM
don’t think they’ll make it big like bb, sj, or dbsk
but i love hj =)
Aug 09, 2008 - 06:56 PM
whether or not dbsk’s popularity is “fueled by money” or their “singing sucks” or whatever… they’re still a more popular than SS501. so hate all you want, it ain’t gonna change ANYTHING.
Aug 09, 2008 - 07:00 PM
SS501 is vocally talented, no doubt. Their songs are catchy and I think they do have a chance to make it big!
Personally for me, I don’t care if they don’t reach as far as DBSK or whoever. As long as they’re happy with what they want to do and they have fun singing and performing; that to me is what should count.
If you ever actually see a totally different live performance, you can see they really are great! I guess this just isn’t the performance that truely shows it :\
The SS for SS501 stands for Super Star 501…-___-;;
Aug 09, 2008 - 07:14 PM
ive just lost faith. is that good?
-_-
Aug 09, 2008 - 07:23 PM
But, it’s not the best song out there, they’ll have to improve to be better than most of the other bands.
Aug 09, 2008 - 07:27 PM
i liked their song Deja Vu, typical don’t like ballads, but this was really nice.
wiki says that thier names is pronunce Double s = Superstar and 501 = 5 members until eternity (0) as 1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS501
Aug 09, 2008 - 07:59 PM
this was okay
i still don’t think they are all that though. they’re just meh to me. I DID like Deja Vu and the other song from the Deja Vu single(too lazy to type name) but that was it. It’s gonna be a long way ‘til they beat out those guys but i after seeing this performance i kinda think they’ll get there. at least close XD
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:02 PM
I love Young Saeng but he needs to sing less. He’d give Kim Jong Kook a run for his Mosquito-Voice money.
Too bad, I wish they’d performed You’re My Heaven. I didn’t mind Young Saeng there because of Hyung Joon’s awesome part. <3
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:23 PM
TVXQ is very talented thats why they are doing good in japan
people with no talent dont succes in japan
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:30 PM
DBSK = Forceful promotion + Moderate talent + Pretty faces = Success.
. Big Bang = Varied Talents + YG + Being considered a Boy Band = Success.
. Super Junior = Fan Club + Pretty faces + Minor talents = Success.
. Its all a money game, if you’re a pretty face, your label can force you down peoples throats to eventually love you. Success is one thing, Genuine acknowledgement for ones talent is an absolute other.
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:37 PM
^ well said…
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:40 PM
what r u guys talking about? Dbsk Is the it thing right now…in ASIA. I am not a fan girl but that group has got harmony, look and dancing down to a T.
P.s SS501 isn’t necessary failing nor succeeding becuz considering they debuted AWHILE ago. They’re r also plenty of famous talentless act in Jpop. JohnniesE any1? at least those boys r cute is all i have to say from some of thd JE acts i’ve seen.
Aug 09, 2008 - 08:40 PM
If Super Junior can win best artist or whatever BS award they won, ANYONE can reach the next level. Just depends on your entertainment company.
Aug 09, 2008 - 09:10 PM
@Taejus- there’s actually a better live performance than this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdERHhkLSgw The one in the post is actually the worst live that they have of this song. =(
Aug 09, 2008 - 09:27 PM
hey! if suju did it WHY IN THE WORLD SS501 CANT. =_____=
eventhough it was bad even waaay before,
but i’ve completely lost faith on the korean industry since MKMF 2007.
thats that.
Aug 09, 2008 - 09:38 PM
hey TVXQ is very telented just hear their last single
their voices are great
or love in ice too their voices are great too
even made me cry when i heard it the fits time!!
and yes i think SS501 is food i really like calling for love
dance moves very funny
Aug 09, 2008 - 09:43 PM
@Big Bang > KPOP
well look at you mr know it all.
you think success is just that?
well you should shove your equation down to your throat, loser.
Aug 09, 2008 - 09:59 PM
they have what it takes, talent and good looks, but i think it will be hard for them because there label is not strong enough to compete with big names like sm yg jyp ect. there label (dsp or smthing like that) shud promote them more and better if they want to reach the “idol” status. they are close though…
Aug 09, 2008 - 10:14 PM
i like ss501 so i hope they will be successful but their label cant compete with sm O_o
Aug 09, 2008 - 10:56 PM
dude, DSP sucks. poor boys. such wasted talent T__T
Aug 09, 2008 - 10:59 PM
if i didn’t know ss501, i would have thought that youngsaeng was the singer and the other four were just back-up vocals.
regarding, dbsk’s popularity being fueled by money - somehow i agree with you on that…too bad - but i like the boys though. it’s just that sometimes i feel like everything is being hyped up.
to the fans, lets not all be that boastful - thinking that dbsk’s is the greatest. it’s all about marketing strategies - i bet even those hidden whatevers/fancams being leaked out are from the management - the guys are good looking, they sing ok - but more than these, they are backed up with heavy promotional stuff. makes me wonder - will they be as popular had they not been given all those hype/promo stuff, i mean, just the 5 of them singing…popular but maybe just like the other typical boy groups in korea.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:06 PM
I like SS501, but I prefer them singing tunes like, ‘A Song Calling for You,‘ or ‘Deja Vu,‘ not this ballad-type. They have the looks and talents, their company just sucks.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:11 PM
^ yeah DBSK got special heavy promotion from SM (Just like H.O.T back in the days). They’re talented but I don’t think they are THAT amazing to the point that fangirls declare them as #1 group.
SS501’s talented, just their talent isn’t shined properly (Their Japanese songs just don’t bring it out) and this song only allows Young Saeng to shine, which is unfair for the other members.
I think their other songs from their first album shows their vocal talents more but yeah…
Luckily SS501 got a bit more popular due to leader being in We Got Married=]
But SS501 as a top idol group in Korea…Idk, I don’t think they’re cut for it. I love them but it doesn’t mean that they can reach to the top.
But I hope their album in Oct. can prove me that they deserve the ‘top’ spot and then I’ll reconsider.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:12 PM
@TVXQBBLOVE
Agreed! lol DSP sucks like HELL! They should get so much more promotion and everything.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:13 PM
can the people here at least criticize tvxq WITH knowing them?
goodness, you people talk crap without even knwoing anything.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:13 PM
tin, while I agree with you somewhat, you have to agree that almost every idol band will always be backed up by heavy promotions and marketing. Just because a certain group is backed by marketing skills and production. Those who aren’t will most likely be left behind. However, that neither means they soley rely on money to get where they are nor lack the talent people praise them for. To note, one’s help through promotion should benefit them, not strip them of the talent they do have. Please keep in mind that your opinion about the boys do differ with many others and that while you may think that the boys are rather average, many others do believe in their talent and skills. Some fans are not boastful, mind you, and they do sincerely think that dbsk is a great band.
I’m not a major fan, but I do admit that they do show dedication and skill in what they do and that kind of hard work not only shows in their successes in korea, but also in japan, where so many foreigners fail to make a good impression. To say that they are only fueled by money is, to an extent, true, but their accomplishments in Asia should indicate they have gone through a lot not to be recognized as people put on a pedestal. Whether ones see that or not doesn’t really change things at all.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:19 PM
To those who don’t think that dbsk is #1, that is your opinion. But technically speaking, they are quite literally the leading korean boy band based on the accomplishments they have earned in their career. One can’t really dispute that unless one has found a current boyband who has received as many awards and daesangs as DBSG in korea, broken records in Japan, held an fanclub of 800,000 + fans, etc. So technically, they are leading. However, whoever you think is number 1 is a whole other issue that only yourself can argue with. Why? Because, quite frankly, no one but those who favor the same artist as you will care to agree with you in the first place. That’s how fandom works.
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:50 PM
I actually like SS501,,
they’re talented and they look good..
plus they have some catchy songs~
too bad though that they’re not being handled properly by their management company…
Aug 09, 2008 - 11:59 PM
@Wizkid4785- I unquestionably agree with what you said.
—
As for DBSK, I don’t even listen to their music, but they are definitely doing something right to have the recognition they have, plus they have talent behind them and Junsu’s sexy self (I’m just playing, but he is soo hot!).
I think that the talents among the groups may be beside the points, because each groups talents vary & are significant on many points. But I feel that, not only Kpop artist, but many artist across Asia dream of and work extra hard to obtain DBSK’s status.
—
I’m not a fan of DBSK, but they’ve definitely earned major props & respect from me.
—
I like SuJu a lot also, because I think they are a more fun group, but they have a whole lot of members & sub-groups that really have no point of existence that allow them to have fame, yet they have multiple groups that put out promotion for that name. I wish they would all cluster back together as one and make hits together instead.
—
So on SuJu’s part, that’s were it all comes back to what most of you all have mentioned, it’s the marketing skills. To be a success in the entertainment, athletic, etc. industry, you have to know how to be promoted the right way. That’s easy for me to understand a bit more now since I’m a Business marketing student anyway, but that part plays a major factor in it all. You have to put yourself out there to gain notice & the more people know about you, you’ll eventually find your support that will grow.
—
On top of that, which label is this band under? I noticed a bit that YG & SM entertainment put out a lot of successes.
Aug 10, 2008 - 12:05 AM
DBSK can’t be just little talented to be sucessful for 4-5 years. Their ballad songs aren’t catchy like other groups and solos, but it’s all the harmony voices that make them exceptional. They don’t have to wait for a catchy tune to make the beautiful songs. Their fast-paced songs rock the stages, and it’s the reason their concert are packed everywhere. The haters predict and wish for their fall, but it never come. They release their works as a group because they are really a group. When you heard of some other groups, half of the time it’s about the solo project and sided works. Not that is a bad thing, I just prefer the group that is created for a reason, not the compilation of good artists. But this is individual’s preferance. The other artists have less promotion? Oh please. Look at all shows that are irrelevant with music, all of the really famous and relatively famous groups attend along the year. There are also music shows every week. It seems like DBSK have more promotion, just because they get more responses.
