[Article] 'SS501 Disbandment?' TripleS Enraged

After 'Strong Heart' yesterday, I went to surf for some news related to the show hoping that I could get to know what Jung Min said. A post in SS601 got my attention. It's not the usual post that we read in the freeboard but a post asking fans to complain in 'Strong Heart' board about something that 'apparently' Jung Min said in the show. I went to the board of 'Strong Heart' and somehow got the idea what it was about.

I was actually looking for the news translation about the related news posted in some portals yesterday morning but none came until late in the afternoon, Ode posted the news translation in her blog.

To some the issue of disbandment is still a sensitive topic though members have already mentioned in interviews that they plan to get together again. I guess until we see them really together as five there would be some who would still cast doubts.

For me and I have written this a number of times, I believe that what I've read and heard them say are not empty promises.

To know what I am talking about and what made some TripleS angry at whoever is responsible for the subtitles put on the show read the article below.

[Trans] 'SS501 Disbandment?' TripleS Enraged

Korean to English translation by Ode / SS501Ode.blogspot.com

In the screencap of Jung Min it says 'SS501해체라고요'.
According to Ode '해체' means disbandment.
This sub-title enraged TripleS.

Group SS501's fans are now angered.

On February 1, member of Group SS501 Park Jungmin appeared in SBS TV variety 'Strong Heart' and shared stories about the difference with starting solo activities under the subject talk -- 'Solo and Group'.

The root of this issue arose when Park Jungmin was speaking halfway and the phrase 'SS501 Disband' began to appear in the broadcast's subtitlings.

To this, SS501 fans have made protests on 'Strong Heart's notice board, "It's not a disbandment, I'm truly speechless", "We courteously demand for an apology", "Seems like you all are not putting our SS501 fandom in eyes, indeed this is The-Strong-Heart huh", thus demanding an apology for the producers' fault.

After ending their contract with previous agency DSP Media, SS501 have since moved agencies. Kim Hyunjoong was the first to move into Keyeast, after which Kim Hyung Jun and Park Jung Min also both went to different separate agencies. And then again, Heo Young Saeng and Kim Kyu Jong also moved into B2M Entertainment in which Lee Hyori is in.

Amidst the SS501 fandom, there are also a part of fans who are concerned over whether or not SS501 has already been disbanded. However, through many interviews, SS501 members have all revealed that "there is ample possibility for all five of them to unite again on the same stage whenever possible, though they may be pursuing their separate activities for the moment now".

(sighs) the things that media would do to get attention

i am happy to know that there was a reaction from our side on the misquote "disband" - the demand for apology is just right and proper thing to do. the producers should be responsible and accurate for their choice of words;

SS501 members will know that korean media is misguided and maybe their managers could do some measures to ensure that before their appearances, the hosts should be guided with what they are supposed to say

on the other hand, the issue is still sensitive to some or a majority of us....but guess what, as long as i see and read, and hear from all of them or one of them, then i am cool with it... (A)

thanks for sharing this article ode and liezle
