Five-member boy band SS501 took their first win for their new song on a music show aired by major broadcaster KBS on Friday.

The group won the award for the No. 1 song on "Music Bank" with their latest single "Love Like This", beating out last week's winner SHINee and another contender Baek Ji-young.

Their victory comes three weeks after the release of their mini-album "Rebirth", through which the group made a comeback to the local music scene for the first time in a year and seven months.

They were unable to perform on the show however, due to holding a concert at Shanghai's Hongkuo Soccer Stadium tomorrow as part of their Asia tour.

SS501, who debuted in June 2005, is one of the most popular K-pop acts in Asia. The group has had numerous hits singles in Korea and Japan, and some of the members have branched out to acting and musical theater as well.
