Astro pays tribute to late member with friends, family
Astro is releasing a single in memory of late Moonbin on Saturday, said agency Fantagio on Thursday.
The band teamed up with friends and family of their bandmate who passed away two years ago. The list of musicians who participated in making single 'Moon' include: Moon Sua of Billlie, sister of Moonbin; Viviz; Minhyuk, Kihyun and I.M of Monsta X; Hoshi, Wonwoo, Minkyu, Dogyeom and Seungkwan of Seventeen; Bang Chan of Stray Kids; and Chanhee of SF9.
Last year, Jinjin put out self-written single 'Fly' on the day which he worked on and sang with Moonbin.
Meanwhile, Astro is soon to host a standalone concert 'Stargraphy.' It will be the band's first full-group concert in three years and Rocky, who left the team in 2023, will join it on stage, as he did for the upcoming single.

Rocky to join Astro for first concert in 3 years
Astro has announced a long-awaited concert, joined by former member Rocky. Fantagio, the group's agency, announced the upcoming concert, its first in three years, by unveiling a poster for the show on its social media platforms. The poster features the silhouettes of all six Astro members, including the late Moonbin, who passed away in 2023, and former member Rocky. This will be Astro's first solo concert since the show in May 2022 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, Seoul. According to Fantagio, discussions about a concert began in February during the release of the group's 9th-anniversary single 'Twilight.' The company explained that the members expressed a strong desire to reconnect with fans, which ultimately led to the decision to hold the long-awaited concert. 'As this concert will be held under the name 'Astro' for the first time in a while, we had in-depth discussions with the members and extended an invitation to Rocky, a former member, to be part of the performance,' said Fantagio. Rocky is expected to take the stage alongside Astro members, performing songs he had sung during his time with the group. Rocky debuted as a member of Astro in 2016 and departed from the group in February 2023 after the expiration of his exclusive contract with Fantagio. Since then, he has continued his career independently under the one-man agency One Fine Day Entertainment.
