CSJH / The Grace (Now Just Dana&Sunday)

The Grace  is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2005. It consists of four members who sing, dance, and act. The quartet debuted in 2005.
            The band had been known as TSZX prior to the promotion of their 3rd Korean single around the end of 2006, at which the group added The Grace to the name. TSZX was the romanization of the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation, Tiān Shàng Zhì Xǐ which was also simplified to CSJH, the romanization of the Korean pronunciation, Cheon Sang Ji Hee and the simplifications are still sometimes used to refer to the band despite the change in the official name. In Japan, the group is still officially known as Tenjōchiki, which is also abbreviated (albeit less frequently) as TJCK.

Debut and early works
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 broadcast weeks later by the Chinese channel CCTV. The verses in Boomerang were also sung in Chinese. Two days later, the quartet debuted with "Too Good" on SBS's music program Popular Songs (Inkigayo).
"Too Good" was the first single by The Grace. They promoted the song for a few months before switching to "Boomerang".
After promoting their first singles in Korea for almost 7 months, the group headed off to China. 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
The debut Japanese single Boomerang was released January 25, 2006. "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 ranked #110 in the Singles Top 200 chart.
The Club was released on March 8, with another solo song called "What U Want", sung by Stephanie. It reached #131 on the Japanese Oricon Charts. The single was also promoted briefly in South Korea. After quick promotional activities in Korea, the group went back to Japan for their 3rd Japanese single, Sweet Flower which was used as the theme for the month of April on the TBS Radio & Communications music show, Count Down TV. 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 (styled juicy LOVE) was released in Korea, left unchanged.

Return to Korea
SM changed the band name from just CSJH to CSJH The Grace (later simplified for international releases to just "The Grace").
The single "열정 (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 ( 말이 있어요)". However, the changes did not greatly increase sales; the single entered at #30 on the Music Industry Association of Korea's monthly sales charts

2011

On January 27, SM Entertainment confirmed that the group was going to come back in April, without Stephanie (ballet schedule) and Lina (acting career). In July, however, a duo sub-unit, CSJH - Dana & Sunday, released a digital single named " 봐줘 (One More Chance)" and appeared on KBS music program Music Bank.
