ASTRO is set to make a return with their fourth solo concert, The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy], bringing together fans, former member Rocky, and a special tribute to the late Moonbin. This event promises to be a deeply emotional experience, celebrating the group’s journey and their unbreakable bond with AROHAs. Here’s everything you need to know about this meaningful reunion.
A Special Reunion with Rocky
Fantagio, ASTRO’s agency, announced on April 14, 2025, that the group will hold The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy] to reconnect with their devoted fans, known as AROHAs. The concert marks ASTRO’s first solo event since 2022, making it a significant moment for the group and their supporters.
The announcement came with a surprising and touching detail: Rocky, who left ASTRO in February 2023 after his contract with Fantagio expired, will join the concert as a special guest.
“Since it has been a while since a concert under the name ASTRO has been held, we had in-depth discussions with the members and extended an invitation to Rocky, a former member of ASTRO, to join the performance—and he agreed to participate,” Fantagio stated.
Rocky will perform songs he previously contributed to during his time with ASTRO, bringing back nostalgic moments for fans. The agency emphasized their commitment to making this collaboration a memorable experience.
“We are currently preparing performances that will bring back fond memories between ASTRO and AROHAs through the collaboration of the ASTRO members and Rocky,” Fantagio shared.
The decision to include Rocky stemmed from the members’ discussions while preparing their special single, Twilight, released on February 23, 2025. Reflecting on their past with AROHAs, the group proposed the concert idea, and Rocky’s participation was a natural fit to honor their shared history.
A Heartfelt Tribute to Moonbin
The concert holds an even deeper significance as it will feature a tribute to Moonbin, who tragically passed away in April 2023. The official poster for The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy] includes the names of the current members—MJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, and Yoon Sanha—alongside Moonbin and Rocky, symbolizing the group’s enduring connection.
The poster’s design, featuring silhouettes of all six members, has moved fans worldwide.
“I love and appreciate them adding Moonbin and Rocky in the picture. I already want to cry knowing this might be the last time we see Rocky on stage with them,” a fan posted on X.
Fantagio confirmed that the concert will celebrate ASTRO’s journey, including heartfelt moments to honor Moonbin’s legacy.
“ASTRO is forever 6 for us AROHAs, so really happy to see Rocky is coming back for the concert too!” another fan shared online.
The tribute reflects the group’s desire to keep Moonbin’s memory alive, ensuring his presence is felt during this special event.
The Inspiration Behind Stargraphy
The idea for The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy] was born during the creation of ASTRO’s special single, Twilight. While working on the track, the members reminisced about their cherished moments with AROHAs, sparking the concept for a concert to celebrate their bond.
“While preparing their special single Twilight, the ASTRO members were reminiscing about meaningful moments with AROHAs, and the topic of a concert came up,” Fantagio explained.
The members expressed strong enthusiasm for the idea, eager to reconnect with fans after a long hiatus from group concerts.
“Since the members have been eagerly anticipating time with AROHAs more than anyone else, they expressed strong enthusiasm, leading to the planning of this concert,” the agency added.
The single Twilight itself is a meaningful release, tied to ASTRO’s ninth anniversary and their reflections on their journey with fans. The concert builds on this sentiment, aiming to create new memories while honoring the past.
What to Expect from the Concert
The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy] is designed to be more than just a performance—it’s a celebration of ASTRO’s story, from their debut in 2016 to their present as a four-member group, with nods to their past with Rocky and Moonbin. Fans can expect a setlist that includes classic hits Rocky performed, such as All Night, Crazy Sexy Cool, and When the Wind Blows, alongside newer tracks like Twilight.
The concert will likely feature:
- Performances by MJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, and Yoon Sanha as the core group.
- Special stages with Rocky for songs from ASTRO’s earlier discography.
- A tribute segment dedicated to Moonbin, possibly including songs like Starry Sky or You Smile, which hold special meaning for AROHAs.
- Emotional interactions with fans, reflecting ASTRO’s signature warmth and gratitude.
Fantagio promised to deliver a meaningful experience, stating:
“We are doing our best to ensure this solo concert, prepared especially for AROHAs who have waited so long, becomes a memorable moment for ASTRO, Rocky, and all fans.”
Details about the concert’s date, venue, and ticketing are still forthcoming, but Fantagio assured fans that updates will be shared soon. The anticipation is already high, with AROHAs expressing their excitement online.
“Just found out it was the ASTRO members themselves who first proposed having Rocky join them, and now I’m crying,” a fan wrote on X.
ASTRO’s Journey and Fan Support
ASTRO debuted on February 23, 2016, under Fantagio with their EP Spring Up, quickly earning recognition as one of K-pop’s promising acts. Originally a six-member group—MJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, Moonbin, Rocky, and Yoon Sanha—they built a loyal fanbase with hits like Baby, Always You, and Candy Sugar Pop.
After Rocky’s departure in 2023 to pursue solo activities under his agency, One Fine Day Entertainment, and Moonbin’s passing, ASTRO continued as a four-member group. Despite these changes, the members have maintained close ties with Rocky, and their commitment to Moonbin’s memory has resonated deeply with fans.
“The overflowing surprises of the boys. Reuniting for Moonbin, for AROHAs, and for each other,” a fan posted, capturing the sentiment around the concert.
The inclusion of Rocky and the tribute to Moonbin highlight ASTRO’s unique bond—not just as teammates, but as a family.
“They showed people that even if they’re not in the same group anymore, the bond, friendship, and family remain,” another AROHA shared online.
