The group is composed of Third (Lapat Ngamchaweng), Porsche (Sivakorn Adulsuttikul), and Jackie (Jackrin Kungwankiatichai).

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 a subsequent interview, 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". 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.
History
2019: TRINITY in Pre-debut Days After NINE BY NINE special project ended in March 2019, 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.
During this time, Third, Porsche, Jackie regularly appeared together in many brand promotion events, namely as the brand presenter of Bento & Yamaha Thailand.
Meanwhile, after ending his contract with Nadao Bangkok, Jamyjames chose to become an exclusive talent of 4NOLOGUE, 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: "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."
2019: TRINITY Begins – "The Elements" Era
On the day "TRINITY" was announced, their hashtag "#TRINITY_TNT" reached No. 1 Trending on Twitter. 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. 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. The mini-album was later revealed to the press to receive 100 million Thai baht investment from 4NOLOGUE, with 40 million in music production for four singles, 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). 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.
TRINITY also released their fandom name, "TWILIGHT," sharing the fact that despite challenges, Twilight sky is always there to offers comfort and the promise of a brighter day ahead.
Following the success of "Haters Got Nothing" music video, TRINITY soon released their second music video, "IOU". This release was accompanied by a series of small concerts titled "TRINITY Showcase." Held in Bangkok, Thailand, each showcase followed the theme of a specific song: "IOU", "Jazzy", "Hidden Track". This series of showcases allowed TRINITY to showcase their performance skills and interact with their growing fanbase in an intimate setting.
Out of the four singles in the mini-album, "Hidden Track" – the only track that was produced by an entire Thai team, becomes TRINITY's most successful hit by far with over 12 million views on YouTube (updated February 2024), along with various remix versions and music covers.
By the end of 2019, they released a four episode documentary called "TRINITY The Elementories" on Line TV. The videos revealed behind-the-scenes of their journey as before and after being TRINITY members, TRINITY as a group and their debut date.
2020: TRINITY during the first COVID-19 outbreak – "5:59 (Five – Fifty Nine)" Era 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.
On June 18, 2020 TRINITY became the very first Thai group to have an account on the popular South Korean live streaming app VLIVE. Until the end of the VLIVE service, the boy group made several livestream sessions, so as posting their music videos, "The Elementories" series, special videos for their performances on their "The Elements" showcases and a small vlog series called "One Day With TRINITY."
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic's restrictions on outdoor activities and fan interactions, TRINITY released a special single titled "5:59 (Five – Fifty Nine)" in September 2020. This release coincided with their first anniversary as a group and served as a gift to their fanbase, known as TWILIGHT. The song comes with two versions of music videos.
Featuring an uplifting melody and lyrics, the song expressed TRINITY's longing to connect with their fans. The title "5:59" symbolically referenced the twilight hour, signifying the time they yearned to meet their fans again. Released during a period of physical separation, "5:59 (Five – Fifty Nine)" conveyed a message of hope and anticipation for future reunions.
2020: TRINITY during the second COVID-19 outbreak – "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" Era and The First Concert Following the measures to prevent COVID-19, TRINITY performed as special guest at the Hallyu Festival "Unite On", held online on November 23, 2020. The show had performances of famous k-pop artists, such as Monsta X, Super M, Oh My Girl and Itzy.
In November 2020, 4NOLOGUE announced their new batch of trainees, who shared a track called "Yesterday Today Tomorrow" with TRINITY. The music video, filmed at Emquartier Mall, paved the way for their festive season campaign "Emquartier Winter Wonderland 2020", has reached over 3 million views on YouTube (updated February 2024).
In December 2020, 4NOLOGUE announced TRINITY's official lightstick, coming up with the announcement of their first full concert, "TRINITY INVISIBLE WORLD LIVE IN BANGKOK 2020: REALITY AND IMAGINATION". The concert was planned to take place on December 26, 2020, at Impact Arena (Bangkok, Thailand). To support international fans and fans who couldn't travel due to pandemic restriction, the concert also release live streaming tickets via TTM Live.
However, on December 17, 2020, the second outbreak of COVID-19 hits Thailand, which led to the concert being postponed and all tickets being refunded.
2021: TRINITY with T-Pop Stage and Youtube Content Following the postponement of their first concert due to the pandemic, TRINITY shifted their focus towards honing their skills. In February 2021, they marked their return to the stage as the headliners for the premiere of T-Pop Stage Show, a new Thai music program broadcast by Workpoint TV.
Their performance featured a medley of "Hidden Track" and "Haters Got Nothing." James, Third, Porsche and Jackie showcased their talent through a dynamic combination of dance techniques, including locking and body wave, alongside impressive a cappella vocals. This energetic and polished performance garnered positive feedback from the audience and media, establishing TRINITY as a "leader" of T-Pop's new generation.
To bridge the gap while working on their new album, TRINITY launched a music series titled "TRINITY Music On" throughout 2021. This series showcased their musical and choreographic versatility through music covers.
The first episode of "TRINITY Music On", released in March 2021, featured a special version of their own single, "Yesterday Today Tomorrow." Performed on piano, this cover served as a farewell to member Jamyjames, who was set to depart for filming in Australia.
Shortly after the performance, Jamyjames flied to Australia, to prepare filming for Hollywood movie "Thirteen Lives," adapted from the true story of the 2018 Tham Luang Cave international rescue.
During the absence of Jamyjames, TRINITY continued to engage with fans through the following episodes of "TRINITY Music On" and vlog series "TRINITY VLOG MYSTERY BOX", all released on YouTube.
The three remaining members, Third, Porsche, and Jackie, participated in virtual interviews with brands and radio stations. During one of such interviews, Third, Porsche and Jackie confirmed that their second album is currently in production.
2021: Departure of Jamyjames In August 2021, member Jamyjames Teeradon Supapunpinyo removed the group name "TRINITY" and 4NOLOGUE's contact information from his Instagram profile. This sparked speculation about his potential departure from the group after five months with no activity with TRINITY.
On August 20, 2021, 4NOLOGUE released a notice that Jamyjames and the company are in the process of finding a legal agreement on a contract. They also confirmed TRINITY would continue promotions as a three-member group with Third, Porsche, and Jackie.
