ASTRO’s Yoon Sanha to make his solo debut in August
South Korean singer Yoon Sanha of K-pop boyband ASTRO will make his solo debut next month, his label Fantagio has confirmed.
Today (July 5), Fantagio announced that ASTRO singer Yoon Sanha will be the next member of ASTRO to embark on a solo career. The K-pop agency confirmed that he is “currently preparing his first solo album with the goal of releasing it in early August”, per Osen.
His upcoming solo release comes half a year after fellow ASTRO member Cha Eun-woo made his official solo debut with his first mini-album ‘Entity’ and its title track ‘Stay’. Prior to that the group’s leader MJ debuted as a trot artist in 2021 with his single ‘Get Set Yo’.
Sanha debuted as a member of ASTRO in 2016. In 2020, he and late-bandmate Moonbin debuted as a duo with the mini-album ‘In-Out’. They went on to release two more mini-albums, ‘Refuge’ and ‘Incense’, before Moonbin’s passing in April 2023.
Last March, Fantagio announced that original member Rocky had left the boyband following the expiration of his contract. Sanha, along with JinJin, Cha Eunwoo and Moonbin renewed their contracts with the agency. Leader MJ was serving his mandatory military service at the time.
ASTRO’s last release as a complete group was their 2022 studio album ‘Drive To The Starry Road’, which featured the title track ‘Candy Sugar Pop’.
In other K-pop news, rookie boyband ALL(H)OURS made their first-ever comeback earlier this week with their second mini-album ‘Witness’, which features the single ‘Shock’. The seven-member group debuted back in January with their mini-album, ‘All Yours’.
