Who Are TSZX?

Lina - Dana - Stephanie - Sunday

The Grace (Korean: 천상지희 더 그레이스; Chinese: 天上智喜 The Grace) is a South Korean a capella girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. It consists of four members that specialize in singing, dancing, and acting.


The Grace was known as TSZX before the promotion of their 3rd Korean single (My Everything) around the end of 2006, at which the group changed their name to The Grace to signal the change of the group's style to a more “graceful” one. TSZX is the romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation, Tiān Shàng Zhì Xǐ. In Japan, the group is still officially known as Tenjōchiki, which is also abbreviated (though less frequently) as TJCK.

Driver's Saloon Interview Part I

Posted by Anonymous On Friday, November 28, 2008
Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese:
Topic: Do you name your car?

-- Kashima: Today we would like to talk about the car culture of the country. For example, in Japan people change little things in their car. Maybe the interior, the sound system, the navigation... Do you guys experience this also?
- Sunday: It might be a little reversed for us.
- Dana: In Korea, cars are sold to be available at a good price. But, if you want to impress your friends and family, something has to change or become shiny.
- Sunday: On the other hand, some simple cars are more popular.

-- Kashima: Is that so? I know I change things to my preference, do they do that too?
- Dana: Some people do different things, but it is mostly the same.

-- Kashima: I see. I find that a little surprising.
- Dana: A bare car (one without all the bells and whistles), rides carefully. You cannot permit any scratches.

-- Kashima: Is that so?
- Dana: Don't you think so?

-- Kashima: Little scratches may happen right? What happens to those who cause the scratches?
- Sunday: Well, there are some people who care more about their cars than their girlfriends. If the girlfriend leaves trash in the car, their will be a quarrel. I have heard stories... (laugh)
-- Kashima: I see.
- Sunday: It is a very interesting story.
-- Kashima: It seems a little overboard though.
- Sunday: The entire joke revolves around the quarrel.
-- Kashima: I don't even take care of my car that much.

- Dana: In Japan, do you all name your cars?
- Sunday: (laughs)

-- Kashima: No... not often.
- Dana: Really? It's also not that common in Korea. Usually it is the young boy who just graduated and is going with his parents to by a car. He takes great care in picking a name, which is usually in English.

-- Kashima: Really, it can be anything?
- Dana: It's the same as naming a dog. You go around asking, "is this a good name?" to other people. The process is the same as naming a dog.

-- Kashima: Give me an example of a name.
- Dana: I have a friend who named their car, "Shelly." It was a white car.
-- Kashima: Shelly.
- Sunday: Forget that, I also have a friend who named their car.
-- Kashima: What was the name?
- Sunday: A really simple, generic name: "Buzz."
-- Kashima: (laughs)
- Sunday: Otherwise known as, "The Buzz Inside." (I believe she is talking about the sound of the engine)

-- Kashima: It's a cute name. Let's say you're going for tea with your friends, you can just say, "Let's take Buzz."
- Dana: Haha.
-- Kashima: Like, "Yesterday, Shelly got a little scratch."
- Dana: Yes! I would say, "It's raining, I'm worried about Shelly."
-- Kashima: It's nice.
- Sunday: It's like naming your daughter.
-- Kashima: I think I'm going to name my car.
- Both: Ha!

-- Kashima: One may also ask, now that I can get a car, what kind of car should I get?
- Sunday: I like old cars. Something classic.
-- Kashima: As in the 1960s? Not for me, I was only born 20 years ago.
- Sunday: It's usually the same with other people. We usually don't like the same car, but I may have changed.

- Dana: I'm similar to Sunday, in that I like classic cars. Not as old as the '60s though. A four door white car is nice.
