(no subject)
Considering the latest "news" I'd like to say a few things..
There are a lot of things going on right now, and a lot of news that contradict each other and it's really hard to know what's real and what isn't. Now I know that not everyone has the time or energy to keep up with the news and translations and checking sources like I do (what is my life, really). Here are some things to keep in mind. Not every article that comes out of Korea is true (this seemed obvious to me, but I guess it bears repeating). Not every translation is accurate. There are obvious discrepancies between the two translations I have read. AKP's version eluded to JungMin leaving, while DKP's made no such claim. The article makes a passing remark regarding JungMin's desire to act. This is not new. Why it has become a source for fodder now is beyond me. He wanted to be an actor long before he wanted to be a singer. This does not mean he is leaving SS501.
I would also like to mention, since it's kind of a big deal, there has only been ONE article out of Korea about this. ONE. If there was any validity to this claim, there would have been many more, just like with HyunJoong's issue, and the earlier article about JungMin signing with a Taiwan company. There was a great deal of skepticism going on at SS601, as well as a shitstorm (I won't go into why, but it's all there still). To put it mildly, it's a shit article with no sources, and thus should be treated as a shit article. No one knows what's going on other than the five of them, and frankly I trust what they say more than what an article or even their respective agencies may say. They have never given us a reason not to believe them over what anyone else says. They may keep secrets, as I would expect, but they would never intentionally lie to their fans about something this important. If they say forever then they mean it.
So, to sum up. Here is what we know:
1. HyunJoong signed with Keyeast.
2. The other four members are shopping around.
3. They want to continue as SS501.
That's it. That is all that been confirmed by them regarding their contract issues and their future. It may take months before anything else is revealed, or we could find out today. Who knows. The point is, stop panicking, stop buying into every article that comes out, and relax. Triple S is known for being a chill fandom, let's continue to be that.
I would also like to share this series of videos with you all, cause with all that's going on non-fans are questioning the bond that the five have with each other.

I'm open to discussion on this, because frankly it has been a frustrating few weeks with all of the misinformation going around. If you feel that I have gotten something wrong, by all means tell me. I like to share and receive information and stay well informed.
It's also HyunJun's birthday party today, so happy birthday to the Baby!
And because a Double S post that's entirely serious is just a disservice to the boys, something fun to enjoy. :D
Boys in Pajamas and Ponytails is my favorite concept.
