The TRAX is active in both South Korea and Japan. However, the band is not widely recognized in South Korea because the rock genre does not play a big role in the Korean music scene.
On May 10, 2006, Avex announced on their official website that Rose left The TRAX to pursue other interests. Despite Rose's absence, The TRAX continues to work as a threesome with support drummer(s).

The TRAX are a popular boy band that have also made a name for themselves in Japan due to their affiliation with Yoshiki. The music they make is influenced by american Nu-metal bands such as Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park and adding their own spin on it by adding urban and hip-hop styles to it.
TRAX was formed in the summer of 2004 by the record label SM Entertainment. The search for members of this band started in 2000 and took four years to complete. Part of the original line up of Typhoon, Rose and Attack first appeared in the 2002 Survival Audition HeeJun vs. KangTa Battle of the Century along with DBSK member Xiah Junsu and Super Junior's Sungmin and Eunhyuk. It was from this and several other auditions that SM Entertainment discovered the line-up and began training them.
The bands name comes from the initials of the original line-up's names: Typhoon, Rose, Attack and Xmas. Sometimes it is said that their name simply comes from the term "recording tracks".
Before the band debuted, Typhoon was lined up to be in a planned SM Entertainment band called Smile along with DBSK member U-KNOW, although this never came to pass.
The band as a whole made their first public appearance along side BoA for her single Rock With You at the MTV Asia Awards and at her special with American popstar Britney Spears.
The TRAX officially debuted in July 2004 with the release of their Paradox single and their first concerts at the Ziller Hall in Seoul in the same month. Shortly after their debut in Korea, they made their debut in Japan with the release of the single Scorpio, which was released simultaneously in Japan and Korea in December 2004. In October 2004 they were featured on Dong Bang Shin Ki's first album TRI-ANGLE along with BoA, and then again in September 2005 on Dong Bang Shin Ki's second album Rising Sun.
Before they made their debut in Japan they had a change in image to make them appear more western, meaning that they had shed their visual looks that had made them stand out in the Korean market. Their music also changed and became more melodic and also saw them collaborating with their producer Yoshiki on a cover of X-Japans Tears.
The band are recognised both in Korea and Japan, and are noted as being the first Korean rock band to bring visual kei influences into the Korean market. This is most likely due to the influence of Yoshiki, formerly of the Japanese band X-Japan, as a producer.
In May of 2006, Rose left the band to "pursue other interests". He is currently the guitarist in underground rock band The Romantist and after leaving The TRAX returned to college to study Art and the Seoul College of Art. So far he has not been permanently replaced within the group, although shortly after Rose's departure, Si Won of the group Super Junior made a special appearance as the role of drummer for a performance of their single Chowu on SBS Inkigayo.
After the departure of Rose, The TRAX released their first full-length album, Chowu (First Rain) in July of 2006, shortly followed by their Japanese single Resolution in August. November saw them doing 2 songs for the soundtrack of the Korean drama Hyena, followed by an appearance on the 2006 winter SMTOWN album released in December.
In January 2007 the group released another Japanese single, Find The Way.
Outside of music the members of the group have been pursuing other projects. It has been confirmed that Attack will appear in the Japanese and Korean drama Magnolia no hana no shita ni, which is being filmed in New York.
At the start of 2007, SM Entertaiment announced that Typhoon has an intracordal cyst, which he will undergo surgery for in February. It will take him 4 months to recover, after which The TRAX will return.

The TRAX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If they wanna suck
Cause there is nothing left to crack
Connect the dots, disconnect the lines
Let's shine like Scorpio in the sky
Kiseki no reflection
Chiheisen ni kieru made
Yoru wo kazarou like shining stars
Yume no kakera chiribamete
Let's leave it all behind
So fuck that deadline, let go!
Beautiful green, orange sunshine
Or do I wanna shine like G-fucking XXX
A to D to D to A
Try to find the way to the Milky Way
Kage to hikari ga koroshiatte
Asa ga kuru sono toki made
Barabara ni kowareta garasu mitai ni kagayaite
Yoru wo kazarou like shining stars
Yume no kakera chiribamete
Eien wo yume mite tobitatsu toki
Hoshi ga nagareru sasoriza no sora no mukou ni
Barabara ni kowareta garasu mitai ni kagayaite
Yoru wo kazarou like shining stars
Yume no kakera chiribamete
Let the world break me down
As if I care
I've got nothing to lose
Like shattered glass
Flying to pieces
I'm already torn
But there's a way to shine
If there's a will
Woke up and hated life
Wanna feel it what it's like
The lyrics of The TRAX's song "Scorpio" convey a sense of defiance and embracing one's individuality without being affected by others' opinions or expectations. The opening lines, "I don't give a fuck, If they wanna suck, Cause there is nothing left to crack," express a disregard for others' judgments or criticisms. The artist is asserting that they will not be swayed by outside influences and remain true to themselves.
The line "Connect the dots, disconnect the lines, Let's shine like Scorpio in the sky" suggests a desire to break free from societal expectations and norms. By connecting the dots, the artist wants to uncover their own path and disconnect from preconceived notions. The reference to shining like a Scorpio in the sky signifies the artist's desire to stand out and be noticed, just like the Scorpio constellation.
The lyrics also touch upon the theme of self-discovery and finding one's own identity. The lines "Try to find the way to the Milky Way" and "Wanna feel it what it's like" express a longing and curiosity to explore new horizons and venture into uncharted territory. The artist seeks to break free from their limitations and experience something different.
The repeated mention of "Barabara ni kowareta garasu mitai ni kagayaite" translates to "Shine like shattered glass flying to pieces" in English. This metaphor symbolizes the artist's sense of being broken and torn. However, it also hints at the idea that there is beauty in embracing one's flaws and imperfections. Despite feeling shattered, there is still a way to shine and make an impact.
Overall, "Scorpio" encourages individuality, resilience, and a willingness to break free from societal constraints. The lyrics convey a sense of empowerment, embracing one's unique qualities, and finding the courage to shine brightly, even in the face of adversity.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't give a fuck
I am not concerned or bothered by the opinions or actions of others
If they wanna suck
If they want to criticize or belittle me
Cause there is nothing left to crack
Because there is no vulnerability or weakness remaining
Connect the dots, disconnect the lines
Finding the connections between things while disregarding conventional boundaries
Let's shine like Scorpio in the sky
Let us radiate and stand out fiercely like the constellation Scorpio
Kiseki no reflection
Reflection of miracles
Chiheisen ni kieru made
Until it disappears on the horizon
Barabara ni kowareta garasu mitai ni kagayaite
Shining like broken glass scattered everywhere
Yoru wo kazarou like shining stars
Adorning the night like shining stars
Yume no kakera chiribamete
Adding fragments of dreams together
Let's leave it all behind
Let us abandon everything from the past
So fuck that deadline, let go!
Disregard that time limit and release yourself
Beautiful green, orange sunshine
Vibrant and uplifting sunlight in green and orange hues
Or do I wanna shine like G-fucking XXX
Or perhaps I desire to shine in a bold and expressive manner
A to D to D to A
Navigating through various stages and returning to the beginning
Try to find the way to the Milky Way
Attempting to discover the path to the galaxy
Kage to hikari ga koroshiatte
Shadow and light clash
Asa ga kuru sono toki made
Until the morning comes
Eien wo yume mite tobitatsu toki
When I envision eternity and take flight
Hoshi ga nagareru sasoriza no sora no mukou ni
Beyond the sky where stars flow, on the other side
Let the world break me down
Allowing the world to try and overcome me
As if I care
As if I am unconcerned
I've got nothing to lose
I have no more to risk or forfeit
Like shattered glass
Similar to broken and fragmented glass
Flying to pieces
Scattered and fragmented while in motion
I'm already torn
I am already emotionally or mentally damaged
But there's a way to shine
However, there is a method to radiate and stand out
If there's a will
If there is determination or desire
Woke up and hated life
After waking up, feeling a strong dislike towards life
Wanna feel it what it's like
Desiring to experience the sensation or understanding

트랙스 노래 패러독스,스콜피오←
이 두곡 노래방에서 진짜 많이 불렀었는데
그리고,모르시는 분들을 위해서
뒤에서 노란머리 휘날리며 드럼을
치시던 아주 강렬하게 섹시미를
뿜뿜하던 분은 훗날 연기자로 전향하셨죠
아시는 분들은 아실겁니다.
노민우님이라는걸 후훗💜💜💜
굉장히 누가봐도 눈에 띄는
섹시 비주얼이였죠 그리고 메보이신
제이님 그리고 기타 잘치시고 비주얼이신
정모님 그리고 카리스마 넘치던 정우님💜
크으으...진짜 슈가맨에서 한번 나왔음 했지만
ㅜㅜ안나와서 속상했지만,세월이 지나도
가사가 입으로 흥얼거릴정도니ㅠㅠ
