ASTRO, Single Concert 'Stargraphy' Revives Memories

Boy group ASTRO successfully concluded their 4th solo concert, demonstrating their strong synergy.

ASTRO held their 4th solo concert, 'The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy],' for two days, on the 7th and 8th, at the Inspire Arena in Incheon. ASTRO directly introduced the concert title 'Stargraphy,' which means creating and recording brilliant moments with AROHA (fandom name), and greeted the fans who filled the venue. Before the main performance, the members expressed their wishes, saying, "We wanted to remember and share memories with everyone who remembers and is with ASTRO. We hope you enjoy it together."

ASTRO kicked off the spectacular stage with 'Attached,' 'Knock,' and 'You're the One,' riding on stage equipment. They showcased a variety of stages, blending their unique refreshing team color with sexy performances. In particular, all the songs on the setlist were newly arranged in a band version, satisfying not only fans who had reunited after a long time but also new audiences.

The stages of 'Moonwalk' and 'ONE' fully displayed ASTRO's sexy charm, heating up the atmosphere of the concert hall. Especially, the 'MORE' stage, unveiled for the first time at this concert, maximized ASTRO's appeal with lighting and props using blindfolds. The concert included ASTRO's past activities, from 'Hide and Seek,' 'Breathless,' which earned them the nickname 'fresh and sexy,' to 'Blow on Me,' 'All Night,' and the title track of their 3rd full album, 'Candy Sugar Pop,' which received a lot of love. The setlist and stage performances drew enthusiastic responses. In addition, ASTRO performed 'Confession' and 'Baby' in school uniforms, and fans responded with chanting and singing along, creating a touching moment.

A section to reminisce about the memories of the six ASTRO members was also prepared. 'Footprints,' the first song Moonbin wrote, and a song that contains ASTRO's history, 'We Still,' which contains the voices of the members and Moonbin, and 'Fly,' which Moonbin and Jinjin worked on together, were performed live, delivering a deep impression. ASTRO added, "We thought a lot about how to convey our sincerity, and we worked hard preparing, remembering the moments we wanted Bin to see."

ASTRO also unveiled 'Circles' and 'Twilight,' which were released as special singles to commemorate their debut anniversary last year and this year, live for the first time. For the encore, they sang fan songs 'Like a Star in the Night Sky' and 'You & Me (Thanks AROHA)' and 'Shout Out,' presenting a moment that will not be forgotten until the end.

Finally, ASTRO said, "We are happy to meet AROHA in a large venue for the ASTRO concert after a long time. I hope you remember everything and create unforgettable memories. I am so grateful to the members and this performance was prepared as if there were six of us. We worked hard on this performance, and I hope you are satisfied. Thank you so much."

In particular, the stage production was also eye-catching. The stage production, including the 'Stargraphy' bridge leading to the protruding stage, various lifts including a rotating protruding lift, a huge LED screen, and lighting, perfectly blended with ASTRO's performance, revitalizing the concert hall and providing a more complete performance to the audience.

ASTRO, which successfully completed the 4th solo concert with sold-out tickets for both days in three years, will hold a Japanese performance at PayPay Dome in Fukuoka for two days on the 28th and 29th. After the Japanese performance, the members will continue their active individual activities.
