Bibliography:

Kim Kyu Jong debuted as a member of SS501 on 06 June 2005. Kim Kyu Jong took over the role of DJ from Heo Young Saeng for SBS
radio program ‘SS501’s Youngstreet’ on 21 Aug 2006 as Young Saeng had to
undergo a throat surgery and require time to recover. He hosted this
program with his fellow member Park Jung Min.



Kim Kyu Jong started his acting career with a role in Mnet hip-hop
music drama “Break” (11 May 06) showcasing his acting skills and dance
skills at the same time while playing the role of a b-boy.

In 2008, due to 2 members’ busy schedules, Jung Min performing in a
Korean production of the musical “Grease” and Hyun Joong filming drama
“Boys Over Flowers”, SS501’s album which was originally due for release
in late 2008, was to be pushed back to July 2009.

Instead, a sub unit of SS501 was formed with Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu
Jong and Kim Hyung Joon. This unit group was initially named “Triple S”
but they changed it back to “SS501″, reason being that they are 5
members always as 1. The unit group released a special project album “U R
Man” (released on November 25, 2008).

Finishing their promotional activities
for “U R Man”, they continued their activities to promote “
(Because I am stupid)”, a song they sang for the OST of “Boys Before
Flowers”. This song is very well-received due to the success of the
drama. They won the “Song of the month (Feb)” award with this song at
the 32nd Cyworld Digital Music Awards (28 Mar 09) with about 110,000 downloads for BGM at www.cyworld.com.

Kim Kyu Jong joined as one of the regular host for MBC Every1 “God Of Cookery Expedition” since 21 Nov 08.



SS501 has been quite a lot of shows this week including SBS Quiz!
Sixth Sense which airs tomorrow. On the show, Kim Kyu Jong stated that
he wouldn’t marry someone his parents disapproved of.

He said, “I won’t marry someone if my parents don’t allow it. My
parents’ marriage was disapproved of but now they’re happy. But for me, I
love my parents so I don’t think I could marry someone if my parents
strongly say no.”

This is the first time I’ve heard that kind of answer from someone.
Usually, people stand up for their love but I guess Kyu Joong is not
capable of giving it his all for his lucky lady.

Kim Hyun Joong and Park Jung Min disagreed with the mama’s boy and
said they would still marry the girl even if their parents didn’t want
them to.



SS501′s Kim Kyu Jong accomplished his first serious acting role in a
web drama called SETI. The first episode aired and in 5 days, it has had
700,000 views. It seems like the show will be a runaway success.

The drama was originally a successful comic series by Yoon Tae Ho and
exceeded standards that was built up after his first hit, Ikki.

On the 6th, you got to see the first episode of SETI online which
included the comic and web drama version which is a refreshingly new
style compared to the norm. The drama started a few days ago but the
long awaited success only came recently.



In the drama, Kim Kyu Jong had to kiss Seo Hyo Rim (female Music Bank
host) on the cheek. It was noted that he needed many takes to get it
right.

An episode of SETI will air every Tuesday and Friday and in total there are 16 episodes.

Kim Kyu Jong will also keep himself busy with SS501′s new mini-album,
“REBIRTH,” which will hit stores on the 20th. Watch the first episode
of SETI below.
