SS501 - Triple S Philippines Blog

Below is an excerpt from Taiwan's Trendy Magazine May 2010 edition featuring SS501. There are more contents inside the magazine, but I'm only posting the short description of the members. Thank you to ss501ufo for the translation! This is a good read especially for new fans that are looking to get to know SS501 better.

Having superbly charming looked's Leader Kim, is well known for having the highest popularity in his group due to acting in idol drama, but he himself doesn't think like this. Can't help to say, living in this beauty boy's body, there actually resides an alien. Other than his leaping style thoughts which made others having difficulties to catch his meaning, and also he will often go into deep thoughts until floating out of the location. In addition to it, without any pre-warning, he will even do something which is out of the given script. However, from these, everybody would be able to see his truth character which is loyal to self.

As a leader he is very responsible, leading his younger brothers like a big brother. At the same time, showing his perseverance and perfectionism towards music. Even when he was hurt, he will hold on and force himself to not be absent in the 5 men stage. (Although everybody actually wish that he take good care of himself...)

Towards fans who are not obedient (For example doing dangerous act like waiting overnight and chasing after their transport in close contact) he will show a stern face and said some strong words. However, a person like him, can also blurted out words like 'It is not TS protecting us, but we protecting TS' This sentence has made the pea princess feel touched and cry.


Being nickedname as little otter's Young Saeng, is the most shy among SS501. Also because of his character which do not mix well with strangers, in most of the interview he was the one which spoke the least. But a person like him, is well known for having the most beautiful voice, almost all of the higher notes part (main part) of their songs were sung by him. Owning a clear eye's expression and also clean smile's Young Saeng, most often would be seen lowering down his head and smile, once in a while, he would also showed the playful look by pouting his face, also when playing his favourite music on piano he immerse in deep feelings, he is a shy prince who will always let people see his look of happiness.



Always steady and gentle, among SS501, most of the time, he is always standing at the side which do not favor any party and using a neutral perception to take care of the other members.

This Mr. Yes who has the tamest character, has another side who loves teddy bears. Most of the time he is a gentle and obedient big boy, even his members who is together with him all the time mentioned that seems like they had never seen him throwing a temper. Don't talk a lot, always fighting for the trophy of least words with Prince Young Saeng in the team (wish to tell them actually there's no such trophy). Everytime when met with some embarassing incident, he will cover his face, looking pure and lovely. At the same time, he is very talented in magic and also being comical.


The youngest Hyung Jun, is said to be the world's well known spoilt king. When happy, he will even ask for bobo (kiss) from other members, full of youthfulness and energetic. Most likely to quarrel together with Jung Min, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse war will be on air all the time.

Hyung Jun who is always being cared and 'disciplined with love' by his elder brothers, is like a lovable child that never grows up. He who is very respectful of leader Hyun Joong, even openly revealing in programs that he wish he could be reborn as Hyun Joong, even thought he was being seriously put down by Hyun Joong. Also Hyun Joong has once complained openly before that Hyung Jun actually loves to act like a spoiled kid, too extreme until not like a normal person, but unintentionally in his words and action, he still showed his care and concern towards him. Only can say, in the universe who could beat this SS501 Maknae Hyung Jun who has exceptional attractive smile?


Park Mal is really a typical Aries boy. This willful, unreasonable and naggy child, owns confidence from unknown origin, keep loving to praise himself, being mocked by other members for contracting 'prince sickness', he is even well known as the terrorist among the members.

However, his thoughtfulness towards the TS can be obviously seen, when he was in Taiwan, it was believed that those vicious legends were dissolved by this friendly Mal's loveable smile and passionate fan service. Even make the pea princess secretly 'climb over wall' (Laugh). Actually, he who has a sensitive nature, only loves to show off a strong front by lips, on the surface seems to be bullying people, but actually this is his style of showing his care and love towards the other members. Always doesn't care about his image just in order to heat up the atmosphere, therefore, places with him are mostly full of bustles. Wish that Park Sexy Charima will happily present to TS even more sexy style and lovable smile and also his professional selca!
