Korean idols Kim Kyu-jong and Heo Young-saeng have said that their boy band SS501 will release a group album next year.
The remark came Saturday during a press conference held before their fan meeting "Story in Seoul" at Sangmyung University's Sangmyung Art Center, the two's first official meet-and-greet with fans since signing newly with solo songstress Lee Hyori's agency B2M Entertainment two months ago.
Kim and Heo both made their 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 this year 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.
The two will continue their fan meeting to several other countries in the Asia region including Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan.
