In a recent interview, SS501 who will soon be starting their busy promotion schedules for their new album, Rebirth, revealed that it was still early for them to break into America and they would be focusing on Asia for the time being.
SS501 expressed, "Many of our seniors have been entering the American market in recent times for promotions. But we feel that we still lack that something to do that. What's more important to us right now is our promotions in Korea and the rest of Asia. If we achieve good results in our Asia promotions, we might consider trying for the American market."
Having released their album earlier in the week, SS501 will begin their long awaited comeback with their title song, Love Like This on Music Core on 24th October.

============================
Good decision. They really need to make their groundwork across Asia first and keep a stronghold here before venturing out to other continents. Asians are more receptible to their image and personalities as cultures within Asia are almost the same. It is hard to break into the American market if they don't speak the language very well, so they better start brushing up on the language of Uncle Sam - even Irish boyband Westlife didn't made it to the American shores. Besides, Americans are not yet ready for the touchy feel characteristics of Asians; don't want my favourite boys to be called faggots.
And with lyrics like "I'm need you kiss" or "what this that's I want the trust" in their song Obsess (I still think this should be Obsessed) they still have a long way to go. "Somebody dead!" that's what I heard Jung Min keeps on saying in Deja Vu. Baby should also stop saying "Double ASS five-oh-one"
