Pre - Debut



Although SM Entertainment was home to famous girl group S.E.S, it was not able to find similar success in its other groups after the group disbanded at the end of 2002. Other girl groups such as M.I.L.K., IsakNJiyeon, and Shinvi failed to succeed in the Korean music market.

However in December of 2003, 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 "바램 (Fight To The End)". Besides Dana, other known SM artists included Jiyeon (from IsakNJiyeon) plus two new faces: Sunday and Stephanie, recorded the song.


Dana had already released two solo albums,(Until The End of the World; 2001 and Maybe; 2003) in Korea. Though her first album did well, the second, failed to catch an audience, due to much comparison with her senior, BoA.


Jiyeon (Lina), as a member of IsakNJiyeon, released one album in 2003, titled Tell Me Baby. A convincing actress, she acted and featured in many of her seniors' music videos and company commercials. She also modeled for various companies.


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. She released two singles in Japan between 2004 and 2005: "リラの片想い" ("Lira no Kataomoi") and "ウソツキBOY" ("UsotsukiBOY"). Both singles had low sales, even though UsotsukiBOY was produced by the famous Japanese rap duo, M-FLO. She had to live in Japan for two years befor her debut; as a result, she became 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 California based ballet group. She was offered a scholarship to the prestigious Boston Ballet University but she turned it down for SM Entertainment. As an American, she is fluent in English.


As their voices matched well, SM decided to make the four a new K-pop group, which, following TVXQ's steps, would also be an a cappella group. This new band would aim success not only in their home country of South Korea, but also China and Asia as a whole. They had a pre-debut showcase on September 14, 2004, but they had their official debut in China eight months later.

The group name was conceived using their new stage names: Dana was then known as Xiyue Dana (Heeyeol Dana), Jiyeon was Shangmei Lina (Sangmi Lina), Sunday was Zhisheng Sunday (Jisung Sunday), and Stephanie was Tianwu Stephanie (Chunmu Stephanie). Their official name became TSZX (Chun Sang Ji Hee) (Hangul: 천상지희; Hanja: 天上智喜) which means "Wisdom and Joy above the Firmament (Heaven)".

History





* Debut and Early Works (Too Good, Boomerang)


The Grace's first official performance occurred on April 29, 2005, in China. They performed their new songs "Too Good" and "Boomerang", and it was broadcasted weeks later by the Chinese channel CCTV. The Grace shared the stage with another SM star, Kangta, in order to introduce themselves. The verses in Boomerang were also sung in Chinese. Two days later, the quartet debuted with "Too Good" on SBS's popular music program Popular Songs.


However, The Grace's debut in Korea was marred by some controversy. SM introduced the group to Korean fans as the "female version of TVXQ". What initially seemed to be a good marketing strategy turned against them, as the girls were not received well by many TVXQ fans. Another issue was the choice of their official balloon color. In Korea, fans like to support their idols by waving balloons during performances, and each idol has their own color. Before The Grace's debut, it was stated that their color would be either pink or orange, but both colors were already used by famous groups, as orange belonged to Shinhwa and pink to NRG. In the end, fans of The Grace chose pink because NRG had been inactive for some time.

"Too Good", the first single by The Grace, was not as successful as SM expected. They promoted the song for a few months before switching to "Boomerang", accompanied by a new, sexy concept. "Boomerang" allowed them to show off their dancing skills, and the single was more warmly received. They also performed a cappella versions of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" (the first track off their debut single) and George Michael's "Faith".


After promoting their first single in Korea for almost 7 months, the group headed off to China, where they had a quickly growing fanbase. The group had a short promotional spree in China due to their rising popularity in the neighboring country. Officially released in March 2006, according to online stores, the Chinese version of the single included three new tracks: the Chinese versions of "Too Good" and "Boomerang" and the pre-group track "Fight To The End". After promotional activities concluded, The Grace headed to Japan.



* Japanese Singles (Boomerang, The Club, Sweet Flower, juicy LOVE)


By the end of 2005, fans of The Grace expected the release of a full album in Korea. However, they were shocked when a new single was announced -- this time in Japan. Their debut Japanese single Boomerang was meant to be released in December, but it was postponed to January 25, 2006. However, the single's promotion still began in December. The single "Boomerang" was re-recorded for the release, with Japanese lyrics and an altered instrumental. The Japanese single also had a B-side called "Do You Know?", a solo song by member Sunday.

The Boomerang single did not do well on the Japanese Oricon Charts, as it ranked #110 in the Singles Top 200 chart. This did not stop the girls from releasing another Japanese single shortly after. "The Club" was released on March 8, with another solo song called "What U Want," this time sung by Stephanie).


Two weeks before The Club's release in Japan, SM Entertainment announced the Korean release. While the Japanese version featured rapper SEAMO, the Korean one featured famous K-pop star, RAIN. Tracklisting of both versions are the same, making "What U Want" the only solo b-side released in two languages.

"The Club" ranked #131 on the Japanese Oricon Charts. The single was also promoted briefly in South Korea without much success. After quick promotional activities in Korea, the group went back to Japan for their 3rd Japanese single, "Sweet Flower."


A pop/dance tune, "Sweet Flower" was used as the theme for the month of April on the famous TBS music show, CDTV. Only a few radio interviews and performances at small events were done in support of the single. It also included a rock-style song called "Rock'n'Roll Star", sung by member Lina. Sweet Flower entered the charts at #151. The single was also released in Korea by SM, but it was left unchanged from its Japanese version.

Between the 3rd and 4th single releases, official releases in other Asian countries took part. The Japanese single "Boomerang" was released in China on June 19 by Avex Trax official Chinese distributor CRSC. The Avex China website also lists the Japanese single of "The Club," but it is not listed by CRSC. In Taiwan and Hong Kong, a new edition of the Korean version of The Club single was released, containing a Chinese version of "The Club" plus a DVD with the Korean music video.


Even with the first few singles having low sales, another single was scheduled to be released. "juicy LOVE" was in stark contrast with The Grace's previous singles, as it had a reggae beat, matching well with its summer release date. Japanese reggae singer CORN HEAD was featured in this song. This time, the B-side was "Sayonara no Mukō ni", The Grace's first Japanese ballad written and sung by Dana. Like the previous single, "juicy LOVE" was released in Korea, left unchanged.

After four singles, The Grace's promotion in Japan went on, continuing to perform at different events. During "juicy LOVE" promotion, Dana hurt her leg and was unable to perform at a few of their venues. Their last song released in Japan at the end of their activities was "Get on the floor", a duet with rapper DOGMA for a movie soundtrack.


The group's last event in Japan was the A-NATION Tour held by Avex Trax at a huge open-air stage. The girls performed on the main stage for three days and on the "Power Stage" for the fourth day. They sang an a cappella version of "Dancing Queen" and their songs "Boomerang" and "juicy LOVE." At some performances, CORNHEAD even performed with them. The promotion helped sales, as all singles by The Grace were sold out at the event. The official A-NATION broadcast did not air any of their performances, but RZTV showed parts of "Boomerang" and "juicy LOVE".

As the schedule died down, the Japanese official website had a diary in which the girls kept in touch with their fans, filling it with messages and photos. After 9 months in Japan, The Grace finally returned to Korea to work on a new Korean release.




* Return to Korea (My Everything)

After weeks of waiting, SM finally announced their 3rd Korean single and in addition, changes to the group concept. Although The Grace was first marketed as an a cappella pop group, they strayed away from that image and became a typical pop/dance girl group with their later releases. To strengthen their image as an a cappella band, SM changed the band name from just TSZX to TSZX The Grace (which their international name was later simplified to just "The Grace"). The name change was also applied to the members' stage names as well: Dana The Grace, Lina The Grace, Sunday The Grace, and Stephanie The Grace. The new name is being used extensively and consistently in place of the old ones as official promotional material.

The single "열정 (translated to Passion) My Everything" was released on November 3, 2006. The lead single from it was the title song, a ballad track unlike their previous singles. According to the press release, the song matched with the winter season, having skillful vocals and harmony. Other songs in the single include an a cappella version of George Michael's "Faith," which had already been performed during the 1st single promotion, and new songs like "The Final Sentence" and "IRIS (할 말이 있어요)".

Promotional activities started soon after the release, with performances on the various music shows done live in order to showcase the vocals. Members of the group have also appeared on variety shows, including SBS's New X-Man. However, the changes did not greatly increase sales; the single entered at #30 on the Music Industry Association of Korea's monthly sales charts. Promotional activities for the single ended in late January 2007.

* 2004 and 2006 SMTOWN Albums

A long-standing SM Entertainment tradition is the release of bi-annual collaboration albums (one in summer and one in winter) featuring all artists in the company. Dana's early career included her in the 2001 Winter Album "Angel Eyes" (featuring Kangta, Moon Hee Jun, Shinhwa, S.E.S., Fly To The Sky, BoA, Yoo Young Jin, and M.I.L.K.) and Lina followed in the 2002 Winter Album "My Angel My Light" (featuring Kangta, Moon Hee Jun, Shinhwa, Bada and Shoo of S.E.S., Fly To The Sky, BoA, Dana, Black Beat, Shinvi, Choo Ka Yul, and Song Kwang Sik) as a part of IsakNJiyeon. The Grace's first solo song in the albums was in the 2004 Summer Album "Hotmail" (featuring Kangta, Moon Hee Jun, Shoo of S.E.S., Fly To The Sky, BoA, Dana, Yoo Young Jin, Black Beat, Choo Ka Yul, IsakNJiyeon, and TVXQ). They had not been formed as a group yet, however, they were given Dana's song "Fight to the End" as a track in the album. They were also present in the track "Hotmail" where all of SMTOWN participates.

2005 was one of the rare years that had no albums released, but in 2006 SMTOWN was back with "Red Sun" as the Summer Album (featuring Kangta, BoA, TVXQ, Black Beat, The TRAX, Isak, Hyun Jin, Heebon, and Super Junior) and "Snow Dream" as the Winter Album (featuring Kangta, BoA, Choo Ka Yul, Song Kwang Sik, Hyun Jin, Isak, Heebon, Black Beat, TVXQ, and The TRAX) The Grace's solo track in the summer was "Catch the Shooting Star" and "Dreams Come True" in the winter.

2007

* First Full Album (One More Time, OK?)

In April 2007, a teaser video of The Grace was released, revealing a new "sexy upgrade" to their look for their first full album; the video was aired on various Korean music channels. The album, entitled 한번 더, OK? (Hanbeon Deo, OK?, translated as "One More Time, OK?") was released on May 4, 2007.

"One More Time, OK?" is The Grace's most successful song to the date, topping MNET M! Countdown and SBS Inkigayo charts. The album sales in its first month were almost four times what My Everything sold in total, ranking the album at 6th place for the month. On June 15th, the album was released in Taiwan, being The Grace's first major release overseas.

A month and a half after release, the album was suggested to be inappropriate for younger audiences by The Commission on Youth Protection. The songs "One More Time, OK?" and "Tonight Is On Me" were considered to have "suggestive lyrics". The Commission on Youth Protection underwent judgment to see if the album would be flagged. If flagged, the album will have a 19+ sticker attached before being put to sale. The album was flagged, however The Grace went on to win numerous awards (see list above) on various award shows.

In July, after "One More Time, OK?", the group shortly promoted two more songs off their first album. "女友 (그녀들의 수다)" (meaning Girl Talk or Girlfriends) was performed on various TV shows, showing a more girly image of the members. Then a music video for "Dancer In The Rain" was released, making this song the third single, even though not being heavily promoted on television. It was very successful.



* Japanese Single and Album (Piranha, Graceful 4)


Shortly after promotions for their first Korean album ceased, a new Japanese single was announced for release on August 1st, titled "Piranha". It featured three new songs: a dance number named Piranha and Japanese versions of the songs My Everything and Just For One Day, which features TVXQ's JaeJoong. The first presses included a remix of The Club (song) featuring SEAMO, their first remix to be released on CD. The single debuted at #26 in the Oricon Daily charts and #50 in the Weekly charts.

About a month later, the release of their first Japanese album was set. The original date announced was November 21, though the date was then moved a week earlier to November 14. Entitled Graceful 4, the album consisted of nine previously released songs and new material, including "One More Time, OK?", a translated Japanese version of their first Korean album's title song. Just For One Day has also been remixed for the album, having a jazz variation. Graceful 4 debuted at #38 on the Oricon Charts.


* Concerts (Dream Concert 2007, SMTOWN Summer Tour 2007, A-NATION 2007)


On June 6, 2007, The Grace were invited to perform in the annual Dream Concert at the Seoul Jamsil Stadium. The girls were among ten artists that were to perform, among whom are TVXQ, Super Junior, Lee Hyori, SG Wannabe, SeeYa, Ivy, Eru, K.Will, Younha, Wonder Girls, and a few new artists.

The girls were busy again the next month when SMTOWN Summer Tour 2007 kicked off on July 7 in Seoul. All artists under SM Entertainment were scheduled to perform, except a busy BoA in Japan. Participating artists were: Kangta, TVXQ, TSZX The Grace, Super Junior, and Zhang LiYin. The Grace also featured in the bi-annual SMTOWN collaboration albums. They had a solo track "Festival", two collaborations with fellow artists from TVXQ, Super Junior, and Zhang LiYin in "Under the Sea" and "A Shell Necklace" as well the track that featured the entire SMTOWN family "Leave for Vacation". In the winter album, The Grace's solo track was an a capella Christmas medley "We Wish You A Merry Christmas & Feliz Navidad". Together with their seniors BoA and TVXQ, they led the title track featuring all SM Entertainment artists "Only Love".

Also in the summer of 2007, The Grace was scheduled to perform in the A-NATION Tour again. In the last stop of the tour held in Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium, their show opening performance of "Piranha" was the talk of the city and the netizens. It still is remembered until today. The Grace (or Tenjochiki as they are called in Japan) were hailed by the crowd and critics as one of best performers and the best female performers of A-NATION 2007 - Tokyo.

2008



* Japanese Singles (Stand Up People, Here)


After The Grace completed their first nationwide concert tour, their sixth Japanese single, "Stand Up People", was released on July 23. It featured "Dear Friend", a mid-tempo ballad, and remixes of the title song and "One More Time, OK?". "Stand Up People" reached #25 on the Weekly Oricon Chart. Later, it was known that TV Tokyo's program "Suki Bara" had chosen it as the ending theme for October 2008. NTV's "Downtown DX" also chose the song for its August-September Ending Theme. With these results, It was expected that The Grace would reach the Top 20 or more on the Oricon charts with their 7th Japanese single, "Here".

"Here" was chosen to be the theme song of both drama and movie of "Homeless School Student (Homeless Chugakusei)", based on a Japanese best-seller book of the same title which sold 2.2 million copies within two months of its publication. "Homeless Chugakusei" is the biography of famous Japanese comedian Hiroshi Tamura's childhood. "Here" has set the record as the first song in history to be used as a theme for both a drama series and a movie.

Soon afterwards it became common knowledge that "Near" the B-track of "Here" would have a music video as well, due to the staff diary and The Grace's blogs. Surprise came at the announcement that the ladies would fly to Guam to film it. More excitement built for the single's release as fans tried to wait patiently, rewatching "Here"'s music video and enjoying the music in the drama.

On September 27, The Grace were the surprise guests at the first screening of "Homeless Chugakusei". They performed "Here" live with CLIFF EDGE. The Japanese audience known for its meticulous taste in music and performances rose to its feet for a standing ovation in recognition of their superb performance. "Here" was at the top of the pre-order charts and ranked in the Top 20 of J-POP USEN chart in August and September.

On October 18, four days before the release of "Here", The Grace made another unannounced surprise appearance. This time it was at the prestigious 21st International Tokyo Film Festival, one of Asia's premiere film festivals and the largest film festival in Asia. At the Festival's invitation, they were given the honor to accompany the author and actors of "Homeless Chugakusei" down the famous green carpet in ravishing evening gowns.

"Here" released on October 22. It was offered for free download for a limited time two months before release. The Grace and CLIFF EDGE held a special showcase on July 18 at Tokyo's Shinjuku Face. The ladies performed "Stand Up People", "Dear Friend", "Here" with CLIFF EDGE, and "Near", the double-A side track of "Here". The girls also held other events across Tokyo and Japan for promotions for "Here". They were featured with Koike Teppei, the main actor for "Homeless Chugakusei The Movie", in a promotional event for the movie. The Grace were also featured in several magazines and interviews and were scheduled to do more.

In The Grace's entire history as a J-pop band in Japan, "Here" as a release had more promotions than any other release. A Tenjochiki bus (it is unknown if there are more or just one) circled Tokyo, it's main stop Shibuya station.They were featured in no less than 15 websites including the 21st Tokyo International Film Festival's front page. 21 national magazines (many of which are circulated internationally) featured them in articles. They held 6 signing/live events in major stores in and around Tokyo. More than 20 radio shows including Tokyo FM, Johnny's Entertainment's Recomen!, and NHK FM had them on air. The Grace were also present and performed live on 10 national TV shows including NTV's Music Fighter, MTV Japan, NHK's Music Japan, FujiTV's Hey! Hey! Hey! Music Champ, and TBS' R-Zero. All the promotions helped them achieve what they had never reached before--a rank at #18 on Japan's formidable Oricon Weekly Chart. "Here" had debuted at #12 on the Oricon Daily Chart and kept fluctuating between #12 and #24 the entire week. It never went under #29 until two weeks later, showing the lasting power of the sales. "Here" is The Grace's most successful release yet.

A month after the release, there were rumors of another release possibly in December or January. Perhaps the reason was of the many photos of a recent photoshoot near Mt. Fuji and a music video in the works. Fans were kept on their toes as promotions went on. The Grace were invited to perform at many joint concerts across Japan, including a 3-artist concert with CLIFF EDGE and May's in Saitama and the historic Fall Festival in Japan's ancient capital Nara. They were also invited to Tokyo Disney Resort's Ikspiari Tree Lighting as special artists to perform "Here". It is now confirmed that Ikspiari will host an event named "Club Ikspiari Presents a Thank You Christmas Party to Tenjochiki" on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2008. The event has an exclusive feel to it as only a select 150 people can come.

Finally, on November 24, AVEX confirmed the rumors and officially announced The Grace's next release--their 2nd Japanese album "Dear. . ." Fans were ecstatic as more news and the covers were revealed. From the four previews of the six new songs it seems that The Grace are experimenting with the Japanese audience and following along the lines of "Here" and "Near"--that of a more ballad/R&B/pop feel with a dash of western influence. Sunday has announced in a live event at Josai University where they performed track 8 of the album "Doushite. . . (Why. . .)" for the first time that she and Stephanie had written the lyrics to the song. It is also said that one other song on the album was written by Dana and Lina. The set release date of "Dear. . ." is January 7, 2009.



* Concerts (Graceful Party Vol. 1, A-NATION 2008, SM TOWN Live Tour '08)


During the first months of 2008, The Grace still promoted themselves in Japan, performing on various events in support of their first Japanese album. They had a sold-out concert tour in April and May named Graceful Party Vol. 1. At first only a few venues were scheduled, but the unexpected enthusiastic response from fans and the audience forced several more stops. The last one, at Daikanyama UNIT in Tokyo, featured Here, a new song in collaboration with hip-hop group CLIFF EDGE.

The Grace was again scheduled to perform at Avex's annual summer A-NATION Tour. They were present in all the tour stops--Ehime, Miyazaki, Ishikawa, Aichi, Osaka, and Tokyo--except two dates. They performed "One More Time, OK?", their newest song "Stand Up People" and their upcoming single, "Here" sometimes with CLIFF EDGE. "Stand Up People" vendors in A-NATION reported sold-out sales of the single afterwards.


In addition to performing in A-NATION, The Grace were also scheduled to perform in SM Entertainment's SM TOWN Live Tour '08, listed as the one of the top artists second only to TVXQ. SM Town Live Tour was set to stop at 4 cities: Seoul, Korea; Shanghai, China, Bangkok, Thailand; Beijing China. Later it was reduced to three: Seoul, Korea; Shanghai, China, Bangkok, Thailand.

On 15 August 2008 at Seoul's Jamsil Main Olympic Stadium, Sunday opened the concert with her solo song "Angels", an OST of the "Billy Jean Look at Me" drama. Dana followed with her solo "Out of Sight, Out of Mind", also an OST of the same drama. Next, the girls wowed the audience with their performance of "Just for One Day" with Kyuhyun of Super Junior, followed by their debut song "Too Good." The highlight of the concerts was Lina's duet with TVXQ'S Hero Jaejoong--"Scars (Hurt) Deeper Than Love".

It was termed by netizens as the ultimate duet next to "Timeless" (Zhang LiYin's debut song, a duet with TVXQ'S Xiah). Stephanie followed with her solo, "What U Want", delivering a stunning performance to the awestruck crowd. SM TOWN's album songs, "Under the Sea," and "Snow Dream," were then performed by TVXQ, TSZX The Grace, Super Junior, BoA (in Seoul), and Zhang LiYin--the younger groups such as Shinee and SNSD (Girl's Generation) also joined in the stage, but did not sing, as they were not formed when the songs released.

SMP (SM Performance) songs were soon performed in quick succession including TVXQ and Super Junior. SMP Songs are usually performed lip-synced due to the demanding choreography, but The Grace performed their songs live. They performed "Dancer in the Rain," "The Club," "Boomerang," and "One More Time, OK?". Stephanie performed in a short Dance Battle set with TVXQ's Junsu and Yunho, and other SMTOWN members who specialize in dance. It was said that Stephanie's dance was the best, along with Yunho's and Junsu's dances; despite the fact that she was ill, she did her best. The Grace also sang "Catch the Shooting Star", a song of theirs released only in the 2006 SM TOWN Summer album. The concert winded down with all of SMTOWN on stage and TVXQ, TSZX The Grace, Super Junior, BoA (in Seoul), and Zhang LiYin performing "Hotmail", "Red Sun" and "Let's Go on a Trip!"

In the Shanghai Stadium on 13 September 2008, The Grace was again with SMTOWN and held another concert with a little over 40,000 in attendance. Bangkok's Rajamangala National Stadium was ready for the concert on 29 November 2008, but due to political unrest in Thailand, the concert was postponed to 7 February 2009.



Controversies

* 5th Member?

Even before the group debuted, it was speculated that a Chinese girl would be the 5th member of The Grace. A TV program in China called Hot Asia was meant to choose new members for The Grace as well as male counterpart, TVXQ. However, it is unclear if the program ever actually took place and no new members were ever added to both groups. Much time has passed and it now seems unlikely a new member will ever join either groups.

* Solo Work?

An article by KBS World stated that the members would possibly consider pursuing solo works, much to the protest of fans. KBS stated that although "the group members will pursue individual work soon, the group will still remain together". Dana said that the group aims to be the best female group in Asia and believes that if they decide to have solo activities, their individual endeavors will only help.


* Plastic Surgery?

Due to The Grace's members' unnatural beauty, many people have speculated that they have undergone plastic surgery. It is a false accusation however, since each member's face has not changed only matured. This is proven by their pre-debut, high school, and audition pictures. (see Eternal Shapley Photo Gallery for pictures).

* Balloon Color War

A touchy topic until today. The Grace first debuted with Pastel Rose Pink as their balloon color. When SM Entertainment added "The Grace" to their name in 2006, their color was also changed to Pearl Pink, which was added to the Pastel Rose Pink balloon color they already bore. However, in 2008 with the advent of Girl's Generation's (SNSD) new fanclub, the members of this fanclub demanded that pastel rose pink should be their color. In the customs and culture of Korea, this act is considered the highest form of disrespect and should never be done, the reason being that The Grace are sunbaes (seniors), having more than a decade of experience between them, as well as having held the pink (whether Pastel Rose or Pearl) color for more than 3 years. When this became public, other fanclubs such as Cassiopeia (TVXQ), ELF (Super Junior), WonderFuls (Wonder Girls), Changjo (Shinhwa), VIPs (Big Bang), Kamilia (Kara), and many others protested by the storm online. However, in the end Shapley, hating the fighting and wishing for peace, gave up the Pastel Rose Pink color to the opposing fanclub and kept Pearl Pink. Some still claim Pastel Rose Pink as The Grace's color since SM Entertainment has not officially announced this fanclub's official color, unlike their official announcement of The Grace's colors in 2006. This is one of the many reasons of the worldwide animosity towards SNSD and their fanclub.

* Unpopularity (or otherwise known as "Underrated")

This is a topic of much discussion whenever The Grace is mentioned. The fact that the ladies are natural beauties, amazing singers, dancers, models, and actresses cannot be ignored. Still, the question persists, "They have everything, so why are they not as popular as their counterparts, TVXQ, or the other girl groups in Korea today?" The answer is little promotion. Compared to the other groups in SM and other companies in Korea, The Grace has received minimal promotion despite their obvious talents and charisma. However, during their "One More Time, OK?" album promotions (what few they had) it was evident that with just a bit more push The Grace's popularity would soar--they were not given that chance. They were sent back to Japan. The Grace still has their fanclub in Korea, Shapley, and a large fanbase in China. Also, they are fast drawing a fanbase in Japan, due to their extraordinary combination of grace, beauty, and singing prowess--also increased promotions from Avex has helped. It is evident from the crowd's reception in the SM TOWN Live '08 Tour--Seoul, that if The Grace would once again be active in Korea and be promoted in earnest they would be the top girl group in the country. With the support of Cassiopeia, ELF, and Shapley, this would be possible. Cassiopeia posted on August 24, in The Grace's Daum site saying, "Girls, we're waiting for you. Get back here!" ELF also posted later saying the exact same thing. Widespread support and love for The Grace is apparent. So the question now would be, "Will SM clean up its act and promote its real talents fairly?"
