T-Max (), stylized T-MAX or T.max, was a South Korean pop music group formed in 2007 under the label 2Step Entertainment (later Planet 905). The group began as a trio, where the "T" in its name was derived from the words "triple" and "trinity". T-Max released an album, an EP, five singles, some of which have songs different from its title, and several soundtrack singles for television shows such as ''Boys Over Flowers'', ''Detectives in Trouble,'' and ''Master of Study''. Its members have pursued individual acting gigs in dramas, sitcoms, and musicals. ==History== T-Max began with three members: Kim Joon, Shin Min Chul and Park Yun Hwa. Shin was a former member of the boy band ''B.O.K.'' and sang on soundtrack songs "Dan Nyum" (''Sang Doo! Let's Go to School'') and "Tears" (''Strange Woman Strange Men''). Park Yun Hwa was a former contestant in ''Battle Shinhwa'', a 2005 television contest to create a new boy band. T-Max's first single, "Blooming", was released on July 19, 2007. The group performed on music shows such as MNet's ''M! Countdown'', ''Show Music Tank'' and ''Music Bank''. A second single, "Lion Heart", followed on November 30. On December 29, 2008, the group released a third single, ''Run To You'', which featured the track "Neol Saranghae" ((朝鮮語:널 사랑해), My Love). The members of T-max got involved in television projects for 2009. Park Yun Hwa was on a SBS show called “Mak Ban Shi” (''Idol Maknae Rebellion''), which showcased the youngest members of various idol groups: participants included Dongho of U-Kiss, Seunghyun of FT Island, Jinwoon of 2AM and Shorry of Mighty Mouth. Shin sang "Last Hero" for the historical drama series ''The Return of Iljimae''. When Kim landed a starring role as high school "prince" Song Woo Bin in the Korean live-action adaptation of ''Boys Over Flowers'', T-Max was selected to do the theme song "Paradise", which brought the group fame.〔 Other ''Boys Over Flowers'' tracks followed, including "Say Yes" and "Wish Ur My Love". A Japanese version called "Motto Paradise" was released on September 2. The group participated in the F4 special edition of the ''Boys Over Flowers'' soundtrack, which included "Nappeun Maeumeul Meokgehae", among other tracks. On July 15, T-Max released an EP ''Single Collection'', which featured three solo tracks; each of which was sung by a different member. The group released the digital single ''Love Parade'' on September 3, which featured the track "Wonhae" ((朝鮮語:원해), Want). In 2010, T-Max contributed original soundtrack (OST) singles for ''Master of Study'' and ''Fuyu No Sonata''. Park Yun Hwa also collaborated with 4Minute member Hyuna on the song "Last Winter" which is found on a different ''Love Parade'' single released in February 2010. With Park Yun Hwa's plan to leave the group to fulfill his military service, T-Max added two new members to the group: Joo Chan Yang was a former ''Superstar K'' contestant, and Park Han Bi was new to the music scene. The group released the studio album ''Born to the MAX'' in June. T-Max contributed to soundtrack singles "Believe" and "Sesangkkeuteseo" for the ''Detectives in Trouble'' series in 2011. On September 29, Kim departed from the group for his military service. Prior to Kim’s enlistment, T-Max released one last single "Geunyeoga Ureo" ((朝鮮語:그녀가 울어), She Was Crying), a ballad which tells of a man’s confession and seeking forgiveness, and describes the pain of farewell from his lover.〔 On January 4, 2012, the group officially disbanded, with its members to embark on solo careers in music or acting. Yoon Jung Soo, the CEO of Planet 905, said, “They’re a group like real brothers to me, and I truly did all I could for them, so I wanted to take in whatever decision they chose. I told them that they could return as T-Max whenever they wanted to.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「T-max」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
