Heo YoungSaeng paling sedikit bicara di antara member2 selama waktu bersama SS501. Saat interview dengan SS501, leader Kim HyunJoong dan Park JungMin, Kim HyungJun adalah member utama yang bicara, sedangkan Heo YoungSaeng biasanya diam.

Kami bertemu Heo YoungSaeng yang saat ini sedang di tengah2 aktivitas promo album solonya dengan lagu berjudul 'Let It Go' di ruang tunggu acara musik Mnet 'M!Countdown'. Sudah lama sejak kami bertemu dia dan dia masih jarang bicara seperti sebelumnya. Kelihatannya tidak mudah baginya membuka hati untuk bicara bahkan kepada reporter yang pastinya dia tahu. Kami bertanya tentang perasaannya melakukan aktivitas solo. Jawabannya sesingkat biasanya.


"Aku merasa kosong dan kesepian. Karena di ruang tunggu sendirian, jadinya sepi dan aku sangat boasan. Member sangat mendukungku. Seperti hari ini, HyungJun mengirim SMS bilang padaku untuk berusaha keras. Aku juga sangat mendukung HyunJoong yang keluar sebagai artis solo."

Lima member SS501 mengakhiri kontrak dengan mantan agensinya DSP Media Juni tahun lalu dan melanjutkan jalan sendiri2. Kim HyunJoong memilih KeyEast-nya Bae YongJun, Park JungMin pindah ke CNR Media, perusahaan gabungan Korea-Taiwan. Kim HyungJun bergabung dengan S Plus Entertainmaent dan satu manajemen dengan Kang JiHwan. Kim KyuJong dan Heo YoungSaeng pindah ke agensinya sekarang B2M Entertainment.

Karena perubahan agensi ini selama satu tahu terakhir, mereka berubah dari grup menjadi berkegiatan solo. Inilah waktu perubahan besar. Pasti ada beberapa kesulitan yang dihadapi dalam proses mengeluarkan album baru setelah lebih dari setahun.

"Aku tak punya cukup waktu. Walaupun sudah lebih dari setahun sejak aku beraktivitas, banyak waktu dihabiskan untuk masalah kontrak agensi. Setelah sampai tahap persiapan album, aku baru memutuskan judul lagu di saat2 terakhir dan langsung syuting setelah itu. Ini sangat sulit. Bahkan makin sulit saat pergelangan tanganku cedera. Sudah lama sejak aku comeback dan sayangnya aku tidak bisa menyiapkan diriku lebih lagi. Ini usaha keras untuk dapat berdiri di atas panggung sendirian. Aku juga sangat khawatir apakah suaraku akan pecah."


Heo YoungSaeng mempunyai vokal paling luar biasa diantara 5 member SS501. Banyak fans berpikir Heo YoungSaeng akan comeback dengan lagu balada atau lagu yang sesuai dengan kemampuan bernyanyinya saat mereka mendengar berita tentang kegiatan solonya. Namun, itu tidak seperti yang orang2 duga. Heo YoungSaeng berdiri di hadapan fans setelah 1 tahun dengan lagu dance.

"Kelihatannya banyak orang mengharapkan aku comeback dengan lagu balada. Tapi aku ingin berbelok arah. Aku ingin menunjukkan Heo YoungSaeng mampu menyanyi dan menari di panggung sendirian. Aku tidak mementingkan jenis musik apa. Aku bukan vokalis utama SS501. Aku hanya seorang vokalis. Sebaliknya, menjadi beban dikenal sebagai vokalis utama."

Selain Heo YoungSaeng, semua member SS501 sudah debut sebagai aktor. Kim HyunJoong dalam drama 'Boys Over Flowers', Park JungMin dalam musikal 'Grease', Kim HyungJun dalam musikal 'Cafe-in', Kim KyuJong dalam kartu drama internet 'Seti'. Hanya Heo YoungSaeng yang belum terlibat dalam aktivitas sebagai aktor.

"Aku telah menerima proposal untuk pementasan musikal. Tapi aku ingin menjadi aktor tahun depan saja. Untuk tahun ini, aku hanya ingin bekerja keras dalam kegiatan soloku. Sebenarnya tidak mudah berakting dalam pementasan musikal. Bagaimana harus mengingat dialog sebanyak itu? sambil berakting. Itu sangat membuat stres. Aku berpikir bagaimana jika diriku tampil dalam musikal, tapi kurasa aku akan sangat gugup."

Kami bertanya tentang rencana ke depannya dan dia menjawab dengan singkat "Beraktivitas di Korea". Tidak ada rencana spesifik untuk kegiatan di luar negeri. Si pendiam Heo YoungSaeng dipanggil untuk latihan dan pergi ke pangggung. Heo YoungSaeng yang sama saat ini penuh semangat. Dia terlahir secara alami sebagai penyanyi.

Heo YoungSaeng was the least talkative among the members during SS501 times. During SS501’s interviews, leader Kim HyunJoong and Park JungMin, Kim HyungJun were the main members who talked, while Heo YoungSaeng would normally keep quiet.

We met Heo YoungSaeng, who is currently in the midst of his activities with his solo album and same titled title song ‘Let It Go’, at the waiting room in Mnet’s music program ‘M!Countdown’. It has been a long time since we met him and he is still not talkative as before. He looks like it is not easy for him to open his heart to talk even to a reporter whom he should be familiar with. We asked about his feeling on his solo activities first. His answer is as short as usual.

“I felt empty and lonely. Because I use the waiting room alone, so it is quiet and I feel really bored. Members supported me a lot. Like today, HyungJun sent me text message to tell me to work hard. I also supported a lot on HyunJoong who is coming out as a solo artiste.”

5 members of SS501 ended their contract with their ex-agency DSP Media last June and went on their own ways. Kim HyunJoong chose Bae YongJun’s KeyEast, Park JungMin moved to CNR Media co-owned by Korea and Taiwan agency. Kim HyungJun joined S-Plus Entertainment and became under the same roof with Kang JiHwan. Kim KyuJong and Heo YoungSaeng came to their current agency B2M Entertainment.

Due to these changes in their agency in the past year, they changed from group to solo activities. It was a time of great changes. There must have been some difficulties faced in the process of coming out with a new album after more than a year.

“I don’t have enough time. Even though it has been over a year since I’m having activities, a lot of time were spent on agency contract problems. After I got into the preparation stage for the album, I decided on the title song very last minute and went for broadcast soon thereafter. That was very difficult. And it was even more difficult as I hurt my wrist at that time. It was a long time since I make a comeback and it is a pity that I could not prepare myself even more. It is hard work to be standing alone on stage. I also have a lot of worries that if my voice will break.”

Heo YoungSaeng has the most outstanding vocal among the 5 SS501 members. A lot of fans thought that Heo YoungSaeng will make his comeback with ballad or songs that will boast his singing abilities when they heard of news on his solo activities. However, it was nothing like anyone expected. Heo YoungSaeng stood in front of his fans after one year with a dance song.

“It seems like most people expected me to comeback with ballad. But I want to have a twist to it. I want to show that Heo YoungSaeng is able to sing and dance on stage by myself. I am not so concerned about what type of music I come out with. And I am not the main vocal of SS501. I am just a vocal. On the contrary, it is a burden to be known as the main vocal."

Besides Heo YoungSaeng, SS501 members have all debuted as actors. Kim HyunJoong in drama ‘Boys Over Flowers’, Park JungMin in musical ‘Grease’, Kim HyungJun in musical ‘Café-in’, ‘Kim KyuJong in webtoon drama ‘Seti’. Only Heo YoungSaeng has not been engaged in activities as an actor.

“I have received proposals for musical plays. But I wanted to be an actor only next year. For this year, I just want to work hard on my solo activities. Actually, I think it is not easy to act in musical plays. How to memorise that many script lines? Have to memorise even the actions. It is really very stressful. I thought about how I will be if I were to perform in a musical, but I think I will be very nervous.”

We asked about his future plans and he replied with a short answer “Activities in Korea”. There are no specific plans for overseas activities yet. The quiet Heo YoungSaeng got called for rehearsal and went on stage. That same Heo YoungSaeng from just now is full of passion. He is a natural-born singer.
