Himitsu is a male group consisting of members from 6 of the 22 nations that participated in Exercise TRIOC. The current line-up is composed of William George Hoang, Zsigmond Fábián, Ryuk Chang-min, Emrick Brennan, Richard Philip Todd, Waldemar Fegelein . They were independently managed by TS Entertainment (Task Force Entertainment) before they formed their own company, Himitsu Co. They specifically play pop music and at times, Jo-Pop (Joyonghean Pop) and N-Pop (Nihhonese Pop).
The Band is known for its hit song, This Love in their The Classic album, which was sang in English, Quenminese, Joyonghean and Nihhonese. The song was about a man who could no longer hide his feelings for the woman he loves so he expresses it in a form of a song. The song also featured Saori Suzushiro as the heroine in the music video.
History
2014: TRIOC Exercise, Formation and Debut, T.O.P
During the TRIOC Exercise of 2014 at Zanarkand Day 2014, A show for the locals were planned out by the Allied High Command. Under pressure, Richard Philip Todd and Ryuk Chang-min were to form a singing group for the show's entertainment. They gathered people who knew how to sing but were not of singer background. They wrote T.O.P as their song for the performance. During the show, the group gained outstanding reception and became popular throughout Samcheok Base. They were soon pressured to make the group into a boy band since their song became an instant hit in Joyonghea, Quenmin and the UK.
The group agreed but with limitations because of their frontline service. Taizo Entertainment (later, TS Entertainment) was called to manage the group as well as limiting their performances. With that, Himitsu was officially declared a male group and the first male group to be recognized outside of the military.
