How much do you know about Top Combine(TC), the popular boy band? After two months of training in South Korea, the five boys are back with their latest album(专辑)Grandness Equal to Heaven．They showed up in Beijing last month to promote(推广)their new record．Hundreds of teenagers shouted in excitement when they saw them．
