Trax Scorpio[MAXI]

TRAX was formed in the summer of 2004 by the record label SM Entertainment. The search for members of this band started in 2000 and took four years to complete. Part of the original line up of Typhoon, Rose and Attack first appeared in the 2002 Survival Audition HeeJun vs. KangTa Battle of the Century along with DBSK member Xiah Junsu and Super Junior's Sungmin and Eunhyuk. It was from this and several other auditions that SM Entertainment discovered the line-up and began training them.

Before the band debuted, Typhoon was lined up to be in a planned SM Entertainment band called Smile along with DBSK member U-KNOW, although this never came to pass. The band as a whole made their first public appearance along side BoA for her single Rock With You at the MTV Asia Awards and at her special with American popstar Britney Spears. The TRAX officially debuted in July 2004 with the release of their Paradox single and their first concerts at the Ziller Hall in Seoul in the same month. Shortly after their debut in Korea, they made their debut in Japan with the release of the single Scorpio, which was released simultaneously in Japan and Korea in December 2004. In October 2004 they were featured on Dong Bang Shin Ki's first album TRI-ANGLE along with BoA, and then again in September 2005 on Dong Bang Shin Ki's second album Rising Sun. Before they made their debut in Japan they had a change in image to make them appear more western, meaning that they had shed their visual looks that had made them stand out in the Korean market. Their music also changed and became more melodic and also saw them collaborating with their producer Yoshiki on a cover of X-Japans Tears. The band are recognised both in Korea and Japan, and are noted as being the first Korean rock band to bring visual kei influences into the Korean market. This is most likely due to the influence of Yoshiki, formerly of the Japanese band X-Japan, as a producer. In May of 2006, Rose left the band to "pursue other interests". He is currently the guitarist in underground rock band The Romantist and after leaving The TRAX returned to college to study Art and the Seoul College of Art
