Branding & Concept
During their pre-debut training, the three founding members, Third, Porsche, and Jackie, selected the name "TRINITY" with the "TRI" prefix symbolizing the "Three Musketeers" theme. This concept emphasized their commitment to constantly improving through teamwork, singing and dancing practices. When Jamyjames joined the group, the members decided to retain the name "TRINITY" but adapted the concept to a "Four-side Pyramid." In subsequent interview,[8] Porsche explained that a pyramid requires four sides for stability, reflecting their four-member composition as TRINITY. This concept inspired their group logo and the theme of their first mini-album, "The Elements."
Following Jamyjames' departure in August 2021, TRINITY rebranded their official concept and logo on November 28, 2021. Their logo now features three triangle shapes assembling together, "alike the impeller which is ready to spin forward".[9] It reflects their three-member composition. An official logo of their fandom "TWILIGHT" was also unveiled on the same day. These changes and their conceptual underpinnings are reflected in TRINITY's official merchandise.

2019: TRINITY in Pre-debut Days
After NINE BY NINE special project ended in March 2019,[10] 4NOLOGUE formed its three exclusive talents in the group - Third, Porsche and Jackie - to take part in a new boy band.
As the members practiced and prepared for the debut, their official name "TRINITY", its official acronym "TNT", and the original concept (Three Musketeers) - were invented.[8]
During this time, Third, Porsche, Jackie regularly appeared together in many brand promotion events, namely as the brand presenter of Bento[11] & Yamaha Thailand.[12][13]
Meanwhile, after ending his contract with Nadao Bangkok,[14] Jamyjames chose to become an exclusive talent of 4NOLOGUE,[15] and was included on TRINITY project. This explains the change of TRINITY's concept to "Four-side Pyramid."
Training ceaselessly for more than six months, on June 4, 2019, Jamyjames - Third - Porsche - Jackie were officially introduced to the press as "4NOLOGUE ARTIST," but the band name was unrevealed.
Mr. Wutt Anuwat Wichiennarat, CEO of 4NOLOGUE shared his vision with the press, after transforming 4NOLOGUE from an concert organizing agency to an artist management agency:[16] "We intend to pursue a music business by seriously pursuing music [...] Our music market is not dead. Artists still receive support from their fans, and fans still buy their CDs and concert tickets. We just have a duty to produce quality artists. Our artist training team is now a Thai team, we use the same system as the international market. We want to create a quality T-POP phenomenon."[15]
2019: TRINITY Begins - "The Elements" Era
On the day "TRINITY" was announced, their hashtag "#TRINITY_TNT" reached No. 1 Trending on Twitter.[17] Even though the members also work in various art categories, being a TRINITY member gives them a way to reload their passion together as music performers.
On September 13, 2019, TRINITY's first ever music video - "Haters Got Nothing" officially launched on Youtube.[18] The music video garnered 1 million views within 18 hours of release. They also released their mini album, "The Elements" to music streaming platforms (Apple Music, iTunes Store, JOOX & Spotify) on the same day.[19] The mini-album was later revealed to the press to receive 100 million Thai baht investment from 4NOLOGUE,[20] with 40 million in music production for four singles,[21] 7-8 million for music video production per song, and 8-10 million for artist practice per year. The concept of the mini-album, as its name, is about four elements of nature that represents each member, according to their personalities:
- Jamyjames is Wind (free-spirited and refreshing)
- Third is Earth (down to earth and caring)
- Porsche is Fire (passionate and strong-willed)
- Jackie is Water (flexible and mysterious)
All four singles for their mini album has a focus on such elements.
TRINITY performed their debut stage on September 17, 2019, at CentralwOrld Square (Bangkok, Thailand).[22] On this day, James - Third - Porsche - Jackie performed live their four songs on the mini-album, and hosted their first-ever fansign event for 600 lucky fans.

The global outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 and 2021 significantly impacted TRINITY's planned activities. Their comeback, second album release, and schedules were all delayed.
Both TRINITY and their agency, 4NOLOGUE, attributed the delay to the group's unique production process. They explained that a substantial portion of their music production, typically takes place outside of Thailand, namely in South Korea. The pandemic's restrictions and logistical challenges to international collaborations effectively hindered their progress.
