MY ASSESSMENTMENT OF THE SS501 MEMBERS
(from left to right: Park Jung Min, Kim Hyung Jun, Kim Hyun Joong, Heo
Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong)
They are all very good friends of each other. I mean they‘ve
all got each other’s back . They all have good voices although Young Saeng has
the best voice. Their leader Hyun Joong would come last if their voices are to
be rated so I think he was chosen to lead because he is the eldest. I think Kyu
Jong is highly underestimated because he has a very good voice, that is, amongst
all of them, he is the one who can sing any part. I think it is because he is
very reserved. So also is Young Saeng but because there is no SS501 without
Young Saeng, he can’t be underestimated. Young carries a very strong high key
that the rest dare not do not even their almighty lead singer Hyung Jun. I
think Hyung Jun is their lead singer because he was the first member, he has
connections with their record label (through his dad), and to be fair, he sings
with a strong but neutral key which is comfortable for the others to carry on.
Any time I think of Jung Min, a smile usually comes to my lips. He has a kind
of beauty that is hard to place. If I see him on a normal day, I won’t even
call him Asian. To be fair, I think Jung Min is the most handsome amongst them
although most people would pick the leader Hyun Joong. But I think it is a
biased choice because he is the most popular due to his acting career. Hyung
Jun is also very handsome, some people would even say he’s the most handsome
but to me, his handsomeness is babyish. I mean, he’s got a baby face. Well, I
don’t blame him because he’s actually their baby, though he’s a spoilt brat.
Kyu Jong is also good looking but he has a funny nose which funny enough I
like. In my list, Young Saeng will come last when it comes to facial look. But
surprisingly, there’s no way you won’t fall for that look. Why? Depending on
his hairstyle, he sometimes looks like something out of a comic book. He is the
one amongst them that I know can look very different with his hairstyle, so
also Kyu Jong and their leader, Hyun
Joong.
May I note that Kyu Jong is not the only underestimated
member of the group, so is their leader. Hyun Joong might not have the best
voice, but he is definitely their best dancer. He is also the one who seems to
still make waves after their temporary dis-banding.
I feel Jung Min has got a lot of charisma and that’s what
makes him more handsome. It’s like he has all the charisma lacking in Young
Saeng. Young, when dancing, looks as if he is being controlled by a remote
device. But funny enough, when he is not dancing, pardon me but “man, I love
that guy’s swag!” Jung Min looks very
comfortable on stage like that place is meant for him although he makes the
most mistakes on stage (roll my eyes). I feel Hyung Jun over does himself on
stage; I mean “man, take it easy. It doesn’t suit you”. Same goes for Hyun
Joong, “easy, okay?” I also love Kyu Jong on stage, like Jung Min, he always seems
very comfortable.
Now, when it comes to personality, I would take Kyu Jong’s
personality has the best. He is very cool. So also is Young Saeng but he
himself admitted that it is deliberate. I mean Young deliberately wants to be
mysterious to his fans, not has approachable as the others. According to other
members, Kyu Jong hardly gets angry, he doesn’t take things personal and he
usually sits on the fence when it comes to decision making. Another plus is
that, he is very sensitive. For example, he senses when someone walks in while
he’s sleeping and wakes up immediately. Their leader funny enough, is the
direct opposite of that. Hyun Joong can sleep for Africa; “why?”
(Kim Kyu Jong) (Kim
Hyun Joong sleeping as usual->rollmy eyes)
Next to Kyu Jong of course is their leader Hyun Joong. Hyun
Joong has a very distinct personality. He is someone who I will say has a 4D
personality. I came across this band through him. I first saw him in the
popular TV drama, ‘Boys over Flowers’. I totally fell in love with his
personality there. This made me search him out even more, and that is how I
discovered this band. Will I say to my disappointment or to my greatest
pleasure or to both, his personality in reality is the total opposite. In
reality, he is totally not cool and unromantic. This brought me to three conclusions
which is, it is either he as a very strong personality which is unpredictable
or he is a very good actor or both. He is also very hardworking and generous.
Maybe he likes to play his big brother role well. If not that he is not cool, he
even admitted that he’ll call his lover by name not ‘dear’ or ‘darling’ or
‘sweetheart’ (roll my eyes), I’d have given him the best personality. He is
also a multiple award winner. Can I say he is the only celebrity in Hollywood,
bollywood, nollywood or anywhere else in the world who has won all the awards
he’s ever been nominated for. If you don’t believe me, then check his Wikipedia
page. He is also said to be very funny.
Next to Hyun Joong’s personality, I would pick Young
Saeng’s. Young, though the second eldest, has this babyish and girlish nature.
He seems to be the one taken with care and treated differently by all the other
members especially Hyun Joong. I don’t know but I don’t understand what is
going on between those two. The other members, especially the forever mouthed
Jung Min admitted that there is this awkward, somewhat tense atmosphere between
the two of them. Hyun Joong as the leader, gives Young special treatment. For
example, if Young comes late for a rehearsal, instead of whining and getting angry
like he would do to the rest, he would say it’s okay without even thinking.
Then, their conversation is usually formal, like Hyun won’t say ‘Hey man’ or
‘Wad up’ to Young. That brings me to two conclusions; it is either Hyun gives
Young special treatment because he is second in age to him or don’t say I said
anything o but “are they both gay? o_O”. Young is said to have the least number of
friends though funny enough, he makes them the easiest. But too bad he doesn’t
keep them, which again I think is deliberate (roll my eyes).
(Heo Young Saeng->
told ya he’s girlish) (Kim Hyun Joong
and Young Saeng, what’s going on there?)
Next to Young Saeng’s personality, I would pick Jung Min’s.
I know to fans, Jung Min’s character might be very appealing but I know that if
I lived with him, it would be annoying. Jung Min has the tendency of being a
bully but because it is only Hyung Jun who is younger than him in the group, it
takes it all out on him (sorry, poor Jun). Jung Min is very playful and
gullible. Man, if you tell that boy to stand on the railway when a train is
coming, he would (shaking my head). He is also very nice. Atleast, he helped
Kyu Jong get into the band, even loaning him clothes.
(Park
Jung Min-à that smile :D)
Finally comes the spoilt brat, Hyung Jun. I feel like
kicking him in the butt. He is so annoying. No wonder Hyun Joong always seem to
bully him. He likes to play a lot of pranks on the other members thereby
putting them in a lot of trouble. Remember I told you he was the first to get
signed into the label? All the other members admitted that immediately they
came in, he tried to assess which was or which wasn’t a threat to him. He
helped all of them get in though except maybe Kyu Jong. To fans, Hyung Jun is
most bullied by Jung Min but Hyun himself said it’s Hyun Joong that bullies him
most. Maybe big brother can’t stand his sauciness even though they share almost
the same name. Kyu Jong seems to be the only one that really tolerates Hyung
Jun.

I know many people will see me as jobless or obsessive by
compiling this. The truth is that this band has given me the opportunity to
step out of my comfort zone and fall in love with the Korean Music Industry. It
has re-defined my conservatism about Korea even Asia as a whole. Most
especially, I have always been obsessive about understanding human nature and
this band has made itself a very interesting case study. I love SS501 any day
any time. I know Kim Hyun Joong is doing well on his own but I hope you guys really
come back together.
Thanks SS501 for making my life fun for the time being. I
love you guys. Kim Hyung Jun, I know I’m not your best fan but I can still vouch
for you anywhere, I love you. Young Saeng, it is obvious you have a very bright
future ahead of you, keep up the good work. Please, don’t end up gay. Kyu Jong,
I know you have decided to go into the movie industry for now, I hope you make
it big there. Don’t let anyone bring down your self esteem because I think you
are very handsome in your own way. Park Jung Min (sighs) just keep calm okay?
Don’t dive in too fast, take life step by step and you will become great one
day. Now, my one and only KIM HYUN JOONG. You have given me the greatest work
here because you are a very complicated being. I like that you are very
hardworking but please don’t push yourself too hard. It’s your hard work that
got you here in the first place and I pray it will keep moving you to greater
heights. I love your new style of music which of course is different from
SS501’s. It’s like your real potential is just beginning to show. Your Lucky Guy MV is really funny. I love you
and Nigeria loves you.
