Double S 301 is a subgroup of the South Korean boy band SS501. It is composed of three SS501 members: Heo Young-saeng, Kim Kyu-jong and Kim Hyung-jun.
In 2008, both Park Jung Min and Kim Hyun Joong were given solo projects for the Grease musical and the Boys Over Flowers series, respectively. Nevertheless, the three remaining members, with Heo as the leader, continued to tour, dubbed as the SS501 Project Group. They released a project album named U R Man in November 2008, with the high-tempo dance title track "UR Man". They also contributed to the Boys Over Flowers soundtrack with "내 머리가 나빠서" (Because I'm Stupid), and appeared as a cameo in episode four, performing their track, "U R Man". The track won Song of the Month for February at the 32nd Cyworld Digital Music Awards on March 28, 2009. as well as the Best OST of the year during the 2009 Mnet Asian Music Awards.
August 2015, B2M Entertainment told MyDaily “Kim Hyung Jun, Heo Young Saeng, Kim Kyu Jong are in discussion of making a comeback as a trio sub-unit. Even though plans are not finalized yet, the members are very determined and our side is also very supportive of it.” Heo also confirmed the comeback during his 'Hello Again' fan meeting.
January 2016, CI Entertainment said “Finally Double S 301 will make a comeback. It is a long-awaited comeback so the members’ anticipation and passion for the preparation of this album is tremendous. You can look forward to Double S 301’s new fresh look, we hope that fans can support Double S 301 for their upcoming comeback.” 'Double S 301' is the transcribed pronunciation of SS501, altered to represent the group's member loss. Also, it's a nod to SS501's Official fanclub, Triple S. Both Hyun Joong and Jung Min are currently serving in the military.
