I am so happy they finally had a English song, but I still like the sound of the Korean version better. What does TRX mean?

It's an acronym for Teddy Riley eXperience. Teddy Riley was the American songwriter for this English version.

I never realised that "Oh Gee" part was referring to their successful singles and was written by Tiffany... Thanks, wikipedia.

You probably do enjoy the English version more because it's comprehensible.
But, remember that the English version was not a translation from the Korean.
The lyrics were written as a new set by Teddy Riley for the US and international market with, apparently, Tiffany's input.

As I've said in the previous page ~

To those assuming it's a straight translation ~ It is a misconception a lot of people have.
You have to realize the Korean and English are two different sets of lyrics. The Teddy Riley version was more directed for the US market, hence why it was created that way. It was not a translation.

Check the following thread and read the English translated lyrics provided by members within the site.
Once you read them, you will clearly know the original meaning to the song. Click this ~> 01 The Boys.

Korean version is much, much better than this. Jessica's performance on the Japanese version felt more lively though.
