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 groupโs journey and their unbreakable bond with AROHAs. Hereโs everything you need to know about this meaningful reunion.
A Special Reunion with Rocky
Fantagio, ASTROโs 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 ASTROโs 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.
โSince 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 performanceโand he agreed to participate,โ 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.
โWe are currently preparing performances that will bring back fond memories between ASTRO and AROHAs through the collaboration of the ASTRO members and Rocky,โ Fantagio shared.
The decision to include Rocky stemmed from the membersโ 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 Rockyโs 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 membersโMJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, and Yoon Sanhaโalongside Moonbin and Rocky, symbolizing the groupโs enduring connection.
The posterโs design, featuring silhouettes of all six members, has moved fans worldwide.
โI 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,โ a fan posted on X.
Fantagio confirmed that the concert will celebrate ASTROโs journey, including heartfelt moments to honor Moonbinโs legacy.
โASTRO is forever 6 for us AROHAs, so really happy to see Rocky is coming back for the concert too!โ another fan shared online.
The tribute reflects the groupโs desire to keep Moonbinโs 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 ASTROโs 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.
โWhile preparing their special single Twilight, the ASTRO members were reminiscing about meaningful moments with AROHAs, and the topic of a concert came up,โ Fantagio explained.
The members expressed strong enthusiasm for the idea, eager to reconnect with fans after a long hiatus from group concerts.
โSince the members have been eagerly anticipating time with AROHAs more than anyone else, they expressed strong enthusiasm, leading to the planning of this concert,โ the agency added.
The single Twilight itself is a meaningful release, tied to ASTROโs 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 performanceโitโs a celebration of ASTROโs 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.

ASTROโs Journey and Fan Support
ASTRO debuted on February 23, 2016, under Fantagio with their EP Spring Up, quickly earning recognition as one of K-popโs promising acts. Originally a six-member groupโMJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, Moonbin, Rocky, and Yoon Sanhaโthey built a loyal fanbase with hits like Baby, Always You, and Candy Sugar Pop.
After Rockyโs departure in 2023 to pursue solo activities under his agency, One Fine Day Entertainment, and Moonbinโs passing, ASTRO continued as a four-member group. Despite these changes, the members have maintained close ties with Rocky, and their commitment to Moonbinโs memory has resonated deeply with fans.
โThe overflowing surprises of the boys. Reuniting for Moonbin, for AROHAs, and for each other,โ a fan posted, capturing the sentiment around the concert.
The inclusion of Rocky and the tribute to Moonbin highlight ASTROโs unique bondโnot just as teammates, but as a family.
โThey showed people that even if theyโre not in the same group anymore, the bond, friendship, and family remain,โ another AROHA shared online.
