SS501 “Company contract ends in 6 months time.. No offer coming”



Group SS501 revealed frankly that their exclusive contract with their management company will end in 6 months time.

SS501 Kim HyunJoong, Kim HyungJoon, Park JungMin, Heo YoungSaeng, Kim KyuJong appeared in MBC ‘Radio Star’ a section off ‘Golden Fishery’ on 9-Dec, and spoke about “only 6 months left of the contract for all members”

“If the management company is not going to dump me, I want to continue to stay. Actually, they have not contacted me yet.” Leader Kim HyunJoong said making the others laugh. MC Shin JungHwan then joked “The scary thing about the company president is that he is ex-Taekwondo athlete”, making the studio drown with sea of laughter.

In that case, debuting in 2005, in 4 years time SS501 rise to the top of Hallyu star dominating Asia, what would be their condition for re-contract?

In this episode, Heo YoungSaeng who is the main vocal wants a ‘practice room’ as his re-contract condition. And Kim KyuJong said his wish “I like variety programs so I hope that there will be a variety program that all 5 members of SS501 can appear in”.

Kim HyunJoong said he hopes to hire professional bodyguards so that fans’ safely are more taken care of while Park JungMin wished for a better working environment for their managers.

Meanwhile, group’s magnae Kim HyungJoon said “I want to act in drama or go solo”, his surprising speech made the others burst out laughing.

They're just joking, but if DSP doesn't renew their contract I will have to cut a bitch.

lol Baby and his solo.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

DSP would be shooting themselves in the foot if they didn't renew SS501. Seriously.

[cynicalsnark.livejournal.com]

LOL They'd have KARA and nobody else.

No I'm not counting Rainbow.

[miyumiyuxxx.livejournal.com]

well at least they want to say. that says something about the company right? i'm really happy that they want to stay. not all of kpop is cruel management.

dsp may be crappy at promoting, but at least (most of) their artists are happy.

[cynicalsnark.livejournal.com]

Maybe they'll be able to negotiate a better deal with DSP? IDK. A crazy wish of mine is they walk and sign with YG so he and TOP can go and be weird all the time. But that's just me.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

Best possible scenario: DBSK & SS501 both drop their companies, sign to YG, and we can have a big huge hot sexy weirdo orgy.

[heesica.livejournal.com]

I know they're joking, but I still almost cried :"(

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

Aww bb, keep smiling.

[ellystage.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee.

They will probably re-negotiate with DSP and hopefully, they get an awesome deal.

[cookie-nut.livejournal.com]

All I can think of when I see DSP is that poor other group that was thrown under the bus.

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

:( AST'1? I'm still sadfaced over that, like majorly.

[iserial.livejournal.com]

idek, I want SS501 to stay together but NOT WITH DSP. I HAVE RAGE TOWARD THEM FOR A'ST1 STILL AND THEIR SHIT PROMOTING.

switch labels or smth, plz. or if you stay with dsp, idek, just as long as you guys don't disband ; _;

Whatever happened to the supposed SS501 Christmas concert here?

[bitter-sweet05.livejournal.com]

On another note, I really hope they're going to KMF this year. LIKE A LOT. PLEASE DO IT, SS501. IT WILL BE MY BIRTHDAY, AND YOU KNOW YOU OWE ME. /capslock

[cynimarie.livejournal.com]

[paperlet.livejournal.com]

it's cute they want to stick with the company...but i wonder what it'd be like if they switched companies...i think they should follow hyori wherever she goes, lol

[schizofragile.livejournal.com]

I hope that there will be a variety program that all 5 members of SS501 can appear in”.
YES PLEASE.

And god please marketing skills for DSP. I don't want the boys to sign another contract knowing they'll get underappreciated ughhhhhh

[kyurein.livejournal.com]

Well I think they will renew the contract, since they're planning to release a full album on 2010.

[classicfire.livejournal.com]

When someone on Omona said in one post that SS501's contract was up soon I worried. They need to do more because their last mini-album was not to my taste.

"Meanwhile, group’s magnae Kim HyungJoon said “I want to act in drama or go solo”, his surprising speech made the others burst out laughing."

Oh baby, I support you. ;) Seriously, he has been my choice for a while for having a solo career.

[walnuuut.livejournal.com]

Lol if this is true could they transfer to another company?

[breathe-ai.livejournal.com]

I pray they transfer to another company.

[julietbunny.livejournal.com]

IRDK what they're situation is like in Korea right now, but if their contract isn't renewed, Taiwanese girls might explode XD

I'd be really interested to see them do a variety show!

[czarny.livejournal.com]

BECOME JOHNNYS BOYS PLZ.

[aunts.livejournal.com]

LMAO THIS.
