Back to Basic
with SS501...
Remembering and Missing SS501
by czakhareina
A/N: I pondered and debated with myself whether to continue doing these personal recaps of SS501's beginning shown through M! Pick. I had originally planned to blog about all 50 plus episodes, just because it's so nice remembering and watching them as teenagers, way before they became Hallyu Stars; I wanted to write amd shared my thoughts on the journey of my fave boys from their predebut stage to their kick off as rookies. But recent family matters made me think twice.. thrice.. a hundred times about doing this. Hmmnnnn.... Don't want to share and unburden you people with my problems, but suffice to say that this matter is life changing. Anyway sfter days of debating, I have come up with a decision to continue writing until I myself gets tired, bored, irritated, and discouranged. But I am really hoping that I finish until the end.
PS: the video is quiet blurry, so my screen caps turned blurry also. But I still think reena (uploader) and the team that worked on the subs is the greatest!!
We left of episode 1 with the introduction of the Pretty Boy's of SS501, from Maknae Kim HyunJun, KyuJong, Youngsaeng, JungMin and leader HyunJoong...
And we start with episode 2...
...With one member rummaging through his bag. He keeps looking for something, checking for something and storing something in the fridge with weird words in it. This member is none other than Park JungMin.
The PD follows him and asks what he has been holding and storing. He replies that it is a grape juice that his mother gave him. He then promotes how it is good for ones body such as helping fatigue body.
I wonder if the juice company way back then, recognized an inborn endorser of herbal grape juice model staring right at their faces? Cause I could totally picture him doing an ad saying, "Grape juice, good for the body and good with the taste..." sorry for the not catchy slogan, totally out of my element in that area....
He then goes and shows the thing inside his bag, cause the PD really knows how fans are hungry to know more what are inside our idols bags. He then shows us the following: Digital camera, wallet, glasses, card games (go stop cards?), toothbrush, additional medicine sent by mom, snack..
And the most important item: picture of parents...
It is his number one treasure. I guess it is the general consensus that parents in general is our number one treasure, right?!?!
But then HyunJoong is my ONLY ONE.....
kekeke joke.... ^___^
and now its time to call the other members. First one to be phoned is none other than the resident Joong! (explained in episode 1 by Maknae)
I disagree that he has a big ! HyunJoong has one of the nicest and iest out there. Who here agrees? please raise your hands!!!
But I highly approve the airtime of his again. If this show were to show HyunJoong's in every episode, I won't complain instead I'd scream "More!!!"
And now enter my prince charming...
...who just happens to be infront of the piano/keyboards drawing/sketching the likeness that isn't really a likeness that is YoungSaeng. And his 4d-edness strikes at the get-go.
Wuri HyunJoong is looking quiet like Lee Dong Gun those rookie days...
Back to his Youngsaeng drawing. It looked like a freak and not at all like my Wuri Cutie Youngsaeng in anyway and form. But I totally ROFL when JungMin commented, "..but I bet HyunJoong totally thinks, it looks exactly like YoungSaeng.."
Hyunjoong then started defending his drawing by voicing the similarities between the drawing and youngsaeng -- the crease around the mouth and the eyes. It was totally all-fail but I'd like HyunJoong to explain it to youngsaeng.
JungMin drags YoungSaeng for evaluation and I "ROLF" again knowing HyunJoong and YOungsaeng's awkward relationship now. Hyunjoong squirming as he tries to explain and hide his drawing.
The three members wrestle for the drawing as HyunJoong tries his best to hide it, but JungMin and youngsaeng together is just the 2:1 ratio that just snatches the drawing away.
YoungSaeng's verdict, "No it doesnt, It doesn't look anything like me!!!" As for me, I went 2 x 
in favor of youngsaeng!!!
The three argue, with HyunJoong insisting it does look like Youngsaeng, YoungSaeng saying it doesn't, JungMin trying to be referee and the Camera Man/PD in totally wanting to not agree but just ended with "I think it does, a little bit..."
Youngsaeng leaves upset at being liken to a not so cutie drawing. and this is when the public is introduced to Kim HyunJoong who loves to doodle and draw. Well U:zoosin is already the product of that habit of doodling plus his 4D-edness.
I'd totally volunter to be his model. Me and hyunjoong face to face for long hours--"That would be heaven". Even if he draws me as a grass and explains that he feels like I am a weed I would totally agree on his conclusions, just to have that one on one time with him.
He has his solo airtime. It is calm and subdue. I kept watching and listening totally hypnotized by his deep voice. He is guarded as he is asked questions, he talked about drawing, push-ups and his guitar.
and then we shift to YoungSaeng who is still reeling from the unlike any other drawing of him.
His gentle voice feels like he is already singing as he shyly answers the PD's question about his younger looks, JungMin and his role as Hyung with his dongsaeng members. He then gives a very nice testimonial about KyuJong.
This is what I miss about friendster, the testimonials that one friend can write for you. Totally want YoungSaeng as a friend who would give me a very heart warming testi and laso would like HyunJoong-ah who will surely write some weird testi; if only they were my personal friends..
YoungSaeng's airtime shows him as he tries to clean up the mess in the table. He then admits that his number one treasure is his cellphone. That is pretty typical of teenagers --- text here, text there and text everywhere. and we also get a glimpse of the beginning of our Prince Otter who loves taking pictures.
FYI to all ladies: Number one woman in youngsaeng's heart 
and number one speed dial is totally taken...
.... by none other than his umma. and the Number two in speed dial is already taken, his dad. And as he tell a story about his supportive parents ans his messge for them I totally went, "Awwwww, what an adorable son..."
And as the words of Doctor PilJoo in Greatest Love, "If you want a nice son, you need to marry a nice man..". so I totally need to find me a nice guys like YoungSaeng and HyunJoong.
After YoungSaeng we go back to JungMin who is looking at the guide CD. He is studying and learning music, melody, lyrics writing and anything to do with for his debut. Very studious Mal!!!
He then volunters hyunjoong to play the guitar. HyunJoong is pretty much put on the spot and we see one of his 7 moves/mannerism: Hand to nose move.
*Aishh....* Though I love JungMin, this is one of his traits that I sometimes get irritated with -- He is too pushy.
and so wuri HyunJoong plays for viewers and PD. and he plays Autumn Love Story (Autumn in My Heart) song titled Romance -- the usual. He did a little of "more than Words", then "Now & Forever" which he volunters HyunJoon to sing.
I concede, hmmmnnnn... thanks JungMin's pushy-ness in this instance we I get to listen to Double HJ performance..
But when HyunJoong said, "I can't multi-task" because he can't sing and play at the same time, I just died!!! 
then when he laughed while falling in the chair.. I feel on the chair with him...
and as the episode ends we get some extra clips of our boys, with JungMin drinking yet another herbal juice, YoungSaeng listening to music and having a very nice conversation with his mom while KyuJong is by his side and lastly HyunJoong practicing his Guitar playing alone in a empty room...
Episode two was centered around the three members...
