SS501 comeback? Probably Not...IJS

Kim Hyung Jun, maknae (youngest member) of the kpop group SS501 posted a pic on his instagram page that has bloggers and fans thinking a little too hard about a comeback. 

The wall seen here is covered with plaques of albums from SS501 days.
Koreaboo , a blog/website dedicated to all things kpop, kdrama, korean in general, thought that maybe the pic was a hint to maybe the group making a comeback, explaining that the caption for the pic was: "Will be filling up the rest of the spaces soon." 

 
My reaction was: LOL!!! Smh... I am sorry. I love SS501. They were the first kpop group that I fell in love with... (well I knew about Shinee first) but I am not going to get myself all hyped up from a pic that could me LOTS of things. SS501 left their fans 5 years ago on a promise that they have NOT broken up as a group and that they would get back together one day. Since then we have seen solo efforts from each member. Leader, Kim Hyun Joong has had the most obvious success. First of all he's been in 4 dramas, including a sitcom called Can Love Be Refilled, the biggest drama of all time, Boys Over Flowers, Playful Kiss and Inspiring Generation. He was also on the first season of the reality show "We Got Married." He also released several solo mini albums, singles, and full albums. He's had major success in Korea and Japan, but his fans

Kim Hyun Joong
are all over the globe. Unfortunately the likelihood of him rejoining the group for a comeback is slim. At the moment Mr. Kim Hyun Joong is in the midst of a scandal. My last blog discussed the situation his has with a Miss Choi and getting her preggo. He was supposed to enlist in due to the Korean military mandate, but postpone that due to personal issues. Although a SS501 reunion might make fans feel better about him and this scandal, I'm not sure if it is the right move for him. He was in the middle of his our Tour and comeback when all of this scandal started. Kim Hyun Joong is complicated. I swear I think he got more plastic surgery on that nose. Is he bigger than SS501 at this point? Can he actually sing? Oh Hyun Joong I use to love you, but you disappoint.... Wait I must add that one of his Japanese single hit platinum status...so chughahabnida!?!

Park Jung Min




The Koreaboo article pissed me off because it didn't even mention sexy charisma member Park Jun Min. He has been in touring it seems non stop, even being the first Korean artist to perform in Russia. According to Kazok (his fan club) he has been in South America, but due to a back injury and health concerns thing has been difficult for Jung Min. It seems that he probably could get together with the guys but with health issues/injuries it could be difficult for Jung Min. 

Prior to enlistment Kyu released two mini albums.  Greenpeas (SS501's name for fans) were waiting for Kyu, to get out of the military. Finally he got out had a very intimate fan meeting and now it seems like he is either hanging out with producer Steven Lee (who produce alot of ss501's work and Kim Hyun Joong's biggest hits) or hanging out with Hyung Jun at times. I thought for sure he was going to jump on a song ASAP, but it's been quiet since he finished his military duty.

Prior to enlistment Heo Saeng released 4 mini albums and 2 Japanese albums. 
SHEEESH! Korean Military takes a kpop idol and turns them into regular guy with a quick hair cut. Heo Young Saeng is in the middle of his military service. Although he will be finished in July 2015 according to Koreaboo.


Kim Hyung Jun our Maknae and for me least liked. Luckily he has an instagram. I mean sure Kyu does too but Hyung Jun uses his regularly, which is the reason I am up now talking about ridiculous speculation.
I am saying he said he would be filling the wall up soon. Maybe he meant with just solo records. Maybe he meant with other pictures. I mean trust me... SS501 are living off of a dream and a hope. Any little thing is enough to help them hold on to the idea of a reunion. Can it happen? Sure. Will it happen? Can't say. Maybe Hyung Jun, Heo Saeng, and Kyu Jong will pull another trio effort like they did when Hyun Joong was working on a drama and Min Jung was in a musical. They were pretty successful with that. Maybe they could do one like they did for ss501 the solo collection.  I guess you never really know. In 2013 they were all able to get together and surprise fans for Heo Saeng's farewell (military going away concert). I guess even skeptics like myself will have to wait and see, but I'm not holding my breath.

I have the internet to forever remember SS501 in all their adventures. 


And if I want to remember Hyun Joong from a time in which I thought he was pure, I will watch Boys Over Flowers. In the meantime, 2pm is my kpop group at the moment. I know I am a terrible fan. Once a Greenpea always right??? LOL!!! I am a Hottest until someone in 2pm makes me mad. 

PS: A piece of me will always love Kim Hyun Joong no matter what.... even if he has douchey habits.... 


 But such star power... and performance, he has it regardless of scandal and that has set him apart.... 

Well SS501 FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
