With a cappella as their weapon, an unusual choice for a group of girls as young as them, TSZX has its mind set on raiding all of Asia. If BoA's mission was to turn the J-pop scene upside down, TSZX's is to do just the same to neighboring country to the west - China.
The group, made up of members Lina, DANA, Sunday and Stephanie, released their first single, title track "Too Good", on April 29. The result of their hard work is a collection of four songs. They include an a cappella version of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love" without instrumental accompaniment, pop ballad "Too Good," a Korean version of Japanese Kiroro's "Nagai Aida" sung under the title "Your Smile" and upbeat dance number "Boomerang". Their mix of songs of Korean, American and Japanese origins reflect what these girls have to make them a group that can truly represent Asia as a whole.
Nineteen year old Sunday, having worked with Jpop artists like m-flo, has already recorded and released two singles in Japan. Her three years in Japan has given her a good command of the language. Stephanie, who SM Entertainment discovered at their annual "Teen Best Competition," is a ballerina from San Diego, California. Naturally, the 18 year old is fluent in English. DANA, a freshman majoring in Chinese at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, studies Chinese every chance she gets.
The next step in their Asia attack strategy is to have a member of Chinese nationality. Through "Hot Asia," an American Idol style program to be televised across China, the group will find their fifth and final member. They hope that by the time the show draws near its end and the new member is chosen, TSZX will have become a household name ready to shake up China and later all of Asia.
