The Grace, usually shortened to TSZX (the romanization of the Chinese pronunciation, Tian Shang Zhi Xi), CSJH (the romanization of the Korean pronunciation, Cheon Sang Ji Hee or Chun Sang Ji Hwi) is a Korean girl band formed by SM Entertainment. It consists of four members with skills in singing, dancing and also a bit of acting. The quartet debuted in 2005 and since then, the group gained popularity in South Korea, China and Japan. They are known by a variety of names, as different countries have different pronunciation for the group name: for example, the group is known as Tenjochiki in Japan. In Korea, they are called ???희 (Cheon Sang Ji Hee). Starting the promotion of their 3rd Korean single in the end of 2006, the group name changed to 天???? The Grace (???희 ? 그?이? / Cheon Sang Ji Hee The Grace) to signal the change of the group's style to a more 'graceful' one.However, in the beginning of 2004, the boy band TVXQ debuted and became a great success all over Asia. In the same year, four SM female singers released a song in the seasonal album 2004 Summer Vacation in SMTOWN.com, a re-recording of DANA's solo song '?? (Fight To The End)'. Besides DANA, other known SM artists included Jiyeon (from Isak N Jiyeon) plus two new faces: Sunday and Stephanie.DANA had already released two solo albums in Korea in 2001 and 2003. Though her first album did well, the second failed to catch an audience. JiYeon, as a member of Isak N Jiyeon, released just one album in 2003.Sunday had been an exclusive trainee for SM since 2002. She changed her real name, Bora, to avoid comparisons with BoA, a fellow SM member and one of the most successful SM artists to date. Many times she was referred as the 'second BoA'], which lead her to have some anti-fans even before she debuted. She released two singles in Japan between 2004 and 2005: (Lira no Kataomoi) and BOY (UsotsukiBOY). Both singles has low sales, even though UsotsukiBOY was produced by the famous Japanese rap duo m-flo. She had to live in Japan for two years; as a result, she has become fluent in the Japanese language.Stephanie was discovered by SM scouts after winning the annual Southern California 'Teen Best Competition' in 2004. She had trained in ballet since the age of 5. At that time, she moved from Korea to San Diego, California, and took part in a famous California based ballet group. She was offered a scholarship to the prestigious Boston Ballet University but she turned it down when the famous SM Entertainment came knocking. As an American, she is fluent in English.Credits: Bww2 + Wiki
