3 members of SS501, Kim KyuJong, Kim HyungJoon, Heo YoungSaeng, will release an album as a unit.
SS501’s company DSP Entertainment spokesperson revealed to Newsen on the 3rd through a tele-interview “Kim KyuJong, Kim HyungJoon, Heo YoungSaeng will form a new 3-member unit to release an album at end of this year or early next year.”
Thus, the reason to put together 3 members of SS501 in a unit is because the other members, Kim HyunJoong and Park JungMin, will be advancing into acting.
Kim HyunJoong has been casted as the leading actor for KBS 2TV “Boys over Flowers” to be broadcasted this coming December and Park JungMin will debut as a performer through the musical “Grease” this November.
Initially planned for activities in Japan in next year February, but it will be postponed as the members will have their acting activities and activities as a unit.
Meanwhile, SS501 will release a new album in October and starts their activities in Korea.

At first I misinterpreted the article to be no SS501 new album, but the three will release the album while the other two will be acting. That made me very sad, haha. But luckily it isn't like that xD.
Still, I didn't know what to think of this, 'cos well, a "unit" sounds uncannily like Suju to me, and SS501 doesn't have 13 members like Suju does. But well, at least Hyungjoon, Youngsaeng and Kyujong will be kept busy while Jungmin and Hyunjoong are acting. And it's true that the three are the better singers in the group. I'm curious as to how they will sound together without the other two, who have lower voices. I hope SS501 will get back together soon after, though, 'cos it's 501, after all. All the best for all of them!
I'm so looking forward to SS501's new album ♥. It's October already :D.
EDIT 09/10: The unit is named "Triple S", which is also SS501's fanclub's name. I think it's kinda weird that they're using their fanclub's name as their group name, but I'm looking forward to see how they'll do. SS501's new album will only be released in April/May next year, though =((. But then, I guess it's inevitable, considering that the members have so much going on already.
