SS501 member Heo Young-saeng is set to kick off his solo singing career next month, according to his agency B2M Entertainment on Tuesday. "He is currently recording his special album which will feature a dance track," an official from his agency B2M Entertainment explained to 10Asia over the phone. "He will begin promoting the album at the end of February." Heo made his debut in the five-member group SS501 with their first self-titled album in 2005, releasing various hit songs such as "Snow Prince," U R Man" and "Love Ya." In June 2009 however, the members of SS501 went separate ways after their contract with DSP Media expired -- Kim Hyun-joong signed with KEYEAST, Park Jung-min with CNR Media and Kim Hyung-joon with S-Plus Entertainment, while Kim Kyu-jong and Heo signed with Lee Hyori's agency B2M Entertainment.The two held their official fan meeting in early December and continued their meet-and-greet into several other countries in Asia including Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan. ※ Any copying, republication or redistribution of 10Asia's content is expressly prohibited without prior consent of 10Asia.
