Band Formation
The band started out as an unofficial group with eleven members. The 11 members underwent training and part of the training was to host TV shows. After 6 months of training, they were evaluated based on their performance. Five members were eliminated and the remaining six formed the official group. The six members are: Kingone Wang, Figaro Ceng, Shone An, Arroy Shen, Peter Chang, Derrick Hsu. In 2002, right after their first album was released, Derrick was involved in a car accident where he had several bone fractures that would required 3-4 months of absence to recover. After consideration, Derrick decided to leave the group and focus on school work.[2] Since Derrick used to be the group leader, this left the team with only five members and the management team put Kingone Wang as the leader of the group.
Post Disbandment
After the disbandment, only Kingone, Figaro and Arroy remains active in the entertainment industry. Shone left the industry around 2007 and then made a comeback to be a host in a talk show in 2009.
