OMG I AM SO HAPPY they're coming back. Finally, they're coming out when rock music in Korea is being taken a little more seriously. Too bad they had to go through 6 bad years -_-
I wonder where Attack (Kang Jung Woo) went :T he didn't officially leave but people speculate he's in the military for his mandatory 2 year service. ;_; and Rose........ sigh.

I'm just glad they're back. Seriously. They deserve the fame that I KNOW they're gonna get from this song. I wonder if the band is still close to BoA or DBSK lol...
:0000 maybe Seobaby will play some piano song for one of their performances....

Rose was the first member to leave the band a long time ago. He came back a few years ago in another group called 24/7 and he's been doing some acting. He's currently acting in the "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" drama. I did not know it was him till I looked up the cast, he looks totally different (like freaking hawt!), a far cry from his crazy blond visual-kei-ish Rose days.

I like their new song, esp. that cool beat in it, even tho it makes it poppish. It reminds me of old pop rock songs.

I knew nothing of them, but I had to pay a bit of extra attention after mine and jay's elevator encounter. There's always something special when you get to meet artists like that up close.

For you who didn't tune in to the video streams it goes something like this: Me and jay are riding the elevator. It stops and this dude looks inside, kinda surveys the elevator before two youngins walks in. Looking like that I knew they were some sort of artists. Since I didn't know, and kinda needed to know coz I can't just tell people I saw famous people without knowing who they are. So I it goes:

Sev (a bit hung over and tired): "Are these some boys?"
Manager: "Yes, they are boys."
Sev: "No.. I mean like are they in a band?"
Manager: "Korean"
Sev: "Oh right but like what band?"
Manager: "TRAX"
Sev: "Oh..." Turns towards them boys "Good luck tonight guys!"
TRAX boys: "Thank you!"

So you can say.. Me and jay now have trax all over us. Lolololol

I absolutely loved TRAX in the concert. Didnt know what kind of songs to expect but loved all their performances.

When my sister and I were going up the escalator to leave the hotel, JungMo was coming down the escalator. My sister told him good job or something like that lol and he turned back and did this sexy smile thing with a cool "thanks"". OMG!!! Im jealous. It was ASDILUFHW$#LIGQWUIHF!!! AHHH just thinking about it is  :heart:.

Someone caught it on tape lol XD:

Its at the very beginning.
Yeah Ill be following TRAX now haha.
