ASTRO Moonbin and Sanha debuted as the group's first unit in September 2020. At the time, they also released their first mini-album "In-Out," which features the track "Bad Idea."
Other than Moonbin and Sanha, ASTRO also consists of four other members namely, MJ, Jinjin, Cha Eun Woo, and Rocky.
In the summer of 2021, ASTRO beat the heat with their full-group mini-album "SWITCH ON."

Unfortunately, Fantagio did not reveal specifically what MJ's condition is, but they said that the artist decided to halt all promotional activities to focus on his recovery.
Following a check-up with his doctor, MJ was advised to take things easy.
The agency also pleaded with ASTRO fans for their understanding of the situation.
ASTRO Through the Years
Prior to the announcement, ASTRO has been doing a wonderful job entertaining its loyal supporters. They appeared at the 2021 MBC Music Festival where they performed "One" and "After Midnight."
Sanha also performed "Paradise" from the "Boys Over Flowers" soundtrack, alongside The Boyz and Stray Kids members.
In November, Jinjin and Rocky also debuted as ASTRO sub-unit with the release of their new song, "Just Breathe." The track is included in the duo's debut mini-album "Restore."
Even though ASTRO has been in the industry for years, they have been going on regular hiatuses. In 2019, Moonbin also took a three-month break from performing and making music.

He officially made a comeback in January 2020 when he appeared in a YouTube video with Sanha. The two did a mukbang together, and fans were thrilled to see their idol after some time especially since the timing also seemed perfect. After all, Sanha's birthday was just two days away.
In April 2021, ASTRO sat down for an interview ahead of the release of their album "All Yours."
According to Jinjin, it was especially gratifying to release a second album after three years and two months since the release of their first.
In "All Yours," MJ revealed ASTRO decided to focus on the visuals of the album. The project is also extra special because three members of the group composed a song together.
When asked about their symbols in the album, Moonbin said that he chose laughter because he wants to make other people happy. MJ is the voice, Jinjin is the breath, Eunwoo represents the tears, Rocky represents hope, and Sanha represents youth.
