Information
Prior to the group's official debut in April 2005, the four girls sang a song together on the album 2004 Summer Vacation in SMTOWN.com.
The concept of the group's name is from fellow SMTOWN group, Dong Bang Shin Ki, where each character in the group's name comes from the former stage name of each group member: Chun Moo Stephanie, Sang Mi Lina, Ji Sung Sunday, and Hee Yul Dana.
Like many of their fellow SM artists, the group aims to take all of Asia by storm, focusing on Korea, Japan, and China. Helping them in their goal are the multilingual skills of their members: Stephanie is fluent in English, Sunday is fluent in Japanese, and Dana and Lina are studying Chinese, with Dana majoring in the subject.
As benchmarks in their goal of reaching all of Asia, the group had their debut performance in China on April 29, 2005, and released their first Japanese single on January 25, 2006. For their second single "The Club," the group released it simultaneously in Japan and Korea.
With the release of the group's third Korean single, "My Everything," the group underwent a slight name change to Chun Sang Ji Hee The Grace. The girls' individuals stage names also changed. Instead of having the individual Chinese names attached to their names, they would be simply Stephanie The Grace, Lina The Grace, Sunday The Grace, and Dana The Grace. The change was made to "emphasize the image of an acapella group based on abundant ability and fantastic harmony."
