Kpop is taking a new turn as they open up to more foreigners to make their dream bands. Tyra Deloatch (aka liltigercat) was sent to search for three young men who had a dream to be a pop star.In 2011 During an audition in California, Koshi Johnson, an American born from an Japanese mother and English father shined with his incredible rapping. Though he wasn't the only one who caught the judges eye, Choi Min-Dae who was born in Seoul, Korea though later moving to America at the age of 5 impressed everyone with his talent of singing, dancing and rapping. Both boys were contacted immediately, as they were signed to Ms.Deloatch's company where they trained along with other contestants picked along the way. Min-Dae and Koshi grew rapidly through training, and without a doubt were first picks for the new TRI-MAX group that was scheduled to debut in the fall of 2014. Though finding the right boy to fill the last spot was difficult. Until one day Ms.Delotach got a call about a talented young man who attended an Korean Music Festival in New York, a video tape was sent to her of the boy performance and was blown away by his charming boyish looks and pure voice. Weeks went by and contact was finally made towards to young performer who was named Junior Kugimiya, an Portuguese-Thai American who just turned 16. Being fairly young and not fluent in Korean like Min-Dae & Koshi it was a risk. Though it was a risk willing to take as Junior blossomed despite his lack of the Korean language. The company was worried on how this can slow down production, until debut pictures were released and girls went wild for Juniors charming young looks. The group was the perfect fit, leaving everyone excited for their debut on September 15.
