SS501, pronounced as 'Double-S 501,' is a South Korean boy band that made a significant impact on the Korean pop (K-pop) music scene. Formed under the management of DSP Media, formerly known as Daesung Entertainment, the group debuted in 2005 with five members: Kim Hyun-joong, Heo Young-saeng, Kim Kyu-jong, Park Jung-min, and Kim Hyung-jun. Their distinct blend of catchy melodies and harmonious vocals quickly garnered them a fanbase both domestically and internationally.

SS501's career saw them releasing multiple hits and albums, which effectively expanded their influence throughout Asia. Some of their well-known releases include "Dejavu," "U R Man," and "Love Like This," which were met with commercial success. The group took a unique approach by sometimes splitting into sub-units and solo activities, allowing the members to showcase different aspects of their artistry. Their album "Destination," released in 2010, was particularly notable and is remembered as one of their most iconic works. After a hiatus, where each member pursued individual projects ranging from solo music careers to acting, the band has not officially disbanded, leaving open the possibility of future collaborations. Fans remember SS501 for their contribution to the Hallyu wave and as pioneers in the K-pop industry who paved the way for future generations of artists.
