Remembering and Missing SS501
by czakhareina
I started to learn about anything korean way back 2004. It was at that when the first blooming of the Hallyu Wave in the Philippines had me smile and thankful for their interesting Kdrama like Autumn in my heart, Full House and Jewel in the Palace...
But it was not until four years ago, that I had learned of the very eccentric younger-Husband/Shillang Kim Hyun Joong. It was only then that I went and exerted all efforts to get to know more. It was HIM, first and foremost that had introduced me to the Double S boys. But after knowing all 5 boys, I inevitable fell in love with each one of them.
Anyway I think there had been and there will be, no questions about the fact that among the Kpop idols, SS501 is the group that sits in the center, front, back and all sides of my heart. So this will be any and every thing SS501.
(SS501 Please Comeback as One ASAP...)
Anyway for all Triple S and Green Peas, all of you would probably not need this, this kinda-somewhat-like introduction and recap or this 5 guys. But a long weekend like today, had me going back to their past videos. And one of those video I had rewatched was the series called M!pick.
Basically, M! pick was and is still, the show that introduces the life of rookie idols. And 6 years ago they introduced SS501.
and so we will begin...
The show starts with a couple of clips of a groups/packs of girls lurking the street. They seemed to move with a purpose. Sure enough as they are interviewed, they would verbalize their intent on lurking the sidelines of a building for a specific glimpse of flower boys...
After a couple of minutes, a mysterious person appears.
He walked through the street but his face is hidden. He greets the giggly girls on the street but only his back, chest, legs and feet are shown. By then all I could say was 'Why all the big SECRET, when Its pretty obvious who he was.'
But then I remember this was aired before their official debut so the netizens actually didnt know who he was so I go '.... ahhh okay... lets get on with the anonimity....'
He goes around lookingfor something, or someone. It turns out he is looking for his members. Apparently being he is the only one present for the first broadcast, and the other members are MIA.
It is finally revealed that he is Kim Hyung Joon, the youngest member of SS501.
Even in the his younger days, HyungJun is pretty much a cutie that he is today. Lost and alone he maybe, but still a cutie all the same.
The PD then suggest he look and search around for s. And as he took a look at the first room, 'Woah and behold'. He finally found one of s and it is none other than the universal center Kim Kyu Jong.
And all I can say is that, "yah hyung Jun ah, Don't Lie. Kyu has always been the earliest guy from among the members. Don't say you are...." *Pouts & Smiles lovingly looking at maknae.*
The 6 years younger Kyu is still as gentle and as kind as he has always been... "Yah prince shin, don't be such a meanie, I like you as kyu and not as shin..."
Anyway, have you noticed how pretty lame their surprised expression is on seeing each other? I totally caught the act of impromptu introduction of the members. YOu can clearly see Kyu using the computer which is the wallpaper. It pretty much screams 'STAGED...'
*kekekekeke* 
and I died of the bad editing and acting. But still love my boys...
...Then cue piano playing on the other room, just as they talk about a member named youngsaeng who is also not yet present.
'staged' but still loving it...
When they go to the other room, there they find a very picturisque Yiruma piano playing member. He is none other than Heo Young Saeng Aka Otter prince and prince of my heart.
Ah is it just me or is Youngsaeng 6 years younger just so darn adorable? I wish i had a chance to pinch his cheeks cause I just literally died from uber adorableness.
The three member then decide to practice singing while waiting for the other tardy members.
First song is 'No Matter What' by Boyzone. I have to say they did a good job in singing that song especially YoungSaeng but their engrish is just so darn funny --The 'Hi No, Hi No' was just *burst out laughing* funny but I still love IT!
There next practice song is something that goes, "Shu dap... shu Bee wahhhh..." with synchronized foot stomping/tapping (Love it!)
.
There is an original english version of this right? right?
They ponder on their unsyncronized singing when the door burst open...
...for the entrance of the fourth member Park Jung Min.
I can clearly see that Kyu, maknae and youngsaeng was nervous as they talk during the first filming. But JungMin stood with much certainty and confidence.
Even then, JungMin had that confidence and maturity that surrounded him as he talked, walked and moved.
Now that they were almost complete, they continued their voice practices.
Another observation; It was pretty obvious that they were new in the industry. They were not yet camera people, they kept turning their back from the PD and the camera.
Really amateurs. kekekekeke.... Joke!
Another thing that caught my attention was this...
Kyutie Kyu stance was taught by their music teacher.
I didnt understand the logic behind it but nevertheless I loved it. He just looked so darn cute. Who ever invented it, wanted me to see Kyutie Kyu like this, so all I can say is "....Komawo..."
After a while of practicing they decided to go and watch Music Program called, Show Music tank where Jewelry will be performing.
Is this Music bank? cause I definitely havent heard of Music Tank.
And off they watched...
And....
What is with the jackets, huh..? Kyu wore a jacket, HyungJun wore a jacket and Jungmin wore a jacket. Even youngsaeng...
Was that the fashion that time, cause I definitely don't remember...
After a couple of calls for the last member in came...
They immediately reprimanded him for being the tardiest member. scolding and guilt tripping him on and on...
He finally introduces him self as Kim Hyun Joong, leader of the group. He is shy and awkward but so darn handome.
He then reiterates that he isczak's true love, czak's prince charming, czak's knight and shining armour, and Czak's only one and forever and always love.
kekekekeke 
Okay a girl can dream, right....?
But I just love it and I just love him.
He came in wearing green top with a beanie and minus the jacket. really stylish and different from the other guys...
As the members continued to bug him by mentioning that YoungSaeng had waited for him a LLLooooNnnngggggg time; he immediate comments "YoungSaeng's attitude have changed, he is early today..." and thus we got a glimpse of his 4D rumor which I super LOVE.
and he went to practice on his own for being late...
He gets reprimanded by maknae for Off key and off tune. this gets them to divulge a little secret about the groups: they like giving names at each other.
and from left to right their nick names go as Sae Jung, saeng Jun and Oong joong.
Kyu Jong as saejong which is from the korean children song that tells a story of a very careful person, much like KyuJong. Oong Joong or Joong cause HyunJoong is considered to be big butted. which i super don't mind. I love his . Saeng Jun, ohh I didnt really get that but the ...
I super Love....
then Kyu reposted the release lyrics of their debut song...
then they read it...
the mushy lines just makes me smile cause Hyunjoong probably is cringing from it...
on the otHEr side the other 2, YoungSaeng and JungMin are discussing their tight schedule
its basically hell, but they seem to be used to it.
Idol training really sound like hell. There is Sunday schedule, with 200 push-ups, then 200 leg raising while lying, breathing practices for 15 minutes. There is also additional music lessons. aish they were just high school student but their schedule was pretty darn hard...
but I guess they endured it for their dreams.... *SIGH*
then we see Youngsaeng infront of the conputer checking their fancafe.
My adorable Youngsaeng. can I pinch you cheeks? can I? can I?
then we see HyunJoong's turn in the piano. and it just makes me Roll on the floor laughing as he plays cat steps on the piano. he really is one of a kinds in his humor and personality
can I just add, HyunJoong has come along way this past 6 years. For a rookie who only wished to be like se7en or rain, he probably never imagined a succes such as his but he deserve it. all the SS501 Boys deserve their place in the Hallyu wave....
I know some new SS501 have questions after watching the video such as: who is that ahjusshi..?
Okay as far as I know he is Ki Young, and he is the creative director behind the formation of SS501. he looks pretty scary but its all thanks to him that the boys get to debut...
and that is all for episode 1 of M! pick!
