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.

PATi PATi Interview

Posted by Anonymous On Sunday, November 09, 2008

(Very) Loosely Translated and Paraphrased from Japanese/ Korean:
(Skipped the beginning, since it is the same as every other interview)

-- We want to know more about Tenjochiki, let's start with Stephanie.
Dana: Stephanie is a person with two sides: sexy and tough.
Sunday: She's a chameleon (laughs). Also the best dancer out of all of us.

-- Flexible in dance performances and an attraction of Tenjochiki. Now Dana.
Stephanie: One of the gags of the group is Dana's vocal impersonations. She always has us laughing.
Dana: I like to make people laugh.

-- Well, greet us in a different voice.
Dana: Not now... (laughs)
Sunday: She is also a tough person who can make you feel shame!! (She's talking about how Dana is usually tough and blunt on people)
Dana: I do not have this image while singing in front of people (laughs).

-- You clearly don't have that image in the "Here" PV.
Lina: But we were just being characters, we are still like that (she means, they are their normal selves.)

-- Onto Sunday...
Lina: Sunday is in charge of the cuteness of Tenjochiki, but she is very cool also.
Stephanie: She is responsible for the bokeh (laughs). (Bokeh, is a term referring to the part of a photo which is out of focus or blurry. Pretty much the background blur of a photo. Long story short, fourth dimensinonal.)
Dana: Sunday is a female who likes the skeletal designs (Jack Skeleton), jumping around to music, talking in a loud voice, and has great style.

-- And lastly, Lina.
Dana: She is the oldest, but always concedes to us who are younger... But occasionally she puts us in order.
Lina: The three of them have O type blood, so they overwhelm me at times. (Lina has type A blood)
Sunday: Lina is very nice and has a warm personality.
Stephanie: She cooks good food.

-- Lina sounds like an ideal wife!
Stephanie: It's because she cooks well.

-- So far, you all have done mostly dance numbers, how did this new style come about?
Lina: We knew Cliff Edge was a hip hop group, but it wasn't until we matched our harmonies together in the studio did the song really come about. We believe this is the beginning of a new style for Tenjochiki.
Stephanie: Our goal is always to make good music. Until now, our songs have had a faster beat. But this time, we really want the people to listen to the lyrics. We have put in both our feelings and emotions.

-- This song also seems to mix the thoughts of both males and females.
Dana: This is good! The lyrics were for "Homeless Middle School Student," but go much deeper than that. The lyrics that Cliff Edge wrote are a representation of how we have been living. Since we are not in Korea now, this song helps us to think about our friends and family not with us.
Sunday: The song is about thanking your friends, family, and all the people around you. Just listening to the melody helps you to remember them.
