With Kim Hyun-joong busy filming with Boys Over Flowers,[3] and Park Jung Min with his musical debut in Grease as "Danny Park",[4] the remaining three members formed 'SS501 Project Group' with Heo Young-saeng as the leader. They released a project album named U R Man in November 2008, with a high tempo dance track "U R Man",[2] which the three remaining SS501 members promoted by themselves, with the exception of some special performances that included all five band members. The project group also performed "U R Man" in episode four of Boys Over Flowers, where they appeared for a cameo performance.[3]

In addition with the title track, "U R Man", the album also includes the members' first solo songs: "Is It Love?", "Never Let You Go", and "I Am".[2]

In March 2009, SS501 released a limited edition album in Japan, which comes with four additional tracks not included in the Korea version.[5]
