Trax
TRAX (Korean: 트랙스; RR: Teuraekseu, formerly known as The TRAX and TraxX), were a South Korean rock band that consisted of Jay and Jungmo. Originally a four-member band formed by SM Entertainment and X Japan's co-founder Yoshiki in 2004, it consisted of Typhoon Jay (vocals), Rose Minwoo (drums, percussion), Attack Jungwoo (bass guitar), and Xmas Jungmo (guitar, bass guitar). Their band name is an acronym of Typhoon Rose Attack Xmas, which use as the members' nicknames.
No Min-woo and Jungwoo left the band in the period between 2006 and 2007. This resulted in the band becoming a duo with the remaining members being Jay and Jungmo. They changed their band name from The TRAX to simply TRAX. The duo kicked off with the release of the EPs Cold-Hearted Man (2010), Oh! My Goddess (2010), and Blind (2011). Thereafter, the members went into individual activities, with Jay pursuing acting and Jungmo collaborating with several artists.
On March 26, 2018, TRAX changed their name to TraxX with DJ and record producer Ginjo joining the band and changing their music genre from rock to electronic dance music.
Jay and Jungmo left SM in April 2019, putting the band's future in doubt. However, they re-formed ahead of their 20th anniversary in 2024.
