K-Pop Blog > News > Astro

On May 16th, the six-member boy band Astro finally returns with new music!

Starting today you can pre-order the new album “Drive to the Starry Road” from us!

The last album “ Switch On ” with the title song “After Midnight”, which earned Astro no less than four victories in music shows, was released in August 2021. That was almost nine months ago now.

But the group was not idle during this time. In September the single “Alive” was released for the mobile app “Universe” and the members then toured individually. Main Vocal MJ made his official solo debut on November 3rd with two songs: “Get Set Yo” and “Valet Parking”.

In January, Astro's second subunit “Jinjin & Rocky” released their debut album “Restore” and in mid-March the first subunit “Moonbin & Sanha” returned with their second album “Refuge” and the title song “Who”. Eunwoo has been filming a series called “Island” since October, which is scheduled to air this year, and has released two soundtrack songs in between.

Fans haven't really missed anything in the past few months, but of course they are particularly happy that Astro will soon be performing as a group again! Especially since MJ announced in April that he would begin his military service on May 9th. He will not be there for the release of the new album “Drive to the Starry Road” on May 16th. So the album is a kind of farewell gift.

Drive to the Starry Road

Yesterday a tracklist was published on Twitter , thanks to which we know that the new album will contain 11 tracks including the title song “Candy Sugar Pop”.

There are three versions that not only contain different concepts, but they all also have completely different formats! They couldn't be more different!

The Drive version is a blue booklet with a photo of Astro on the cover. At 220 by 295 millimeters, it is by far the largest of the three versions! Buyers get an 88-page photo book, an Envelope , a postcard, a folding postcard, 2 of 24 photo cards and one of 6 CDs. The CD is printed with a photo of one of the six members. Which motif you find in your album is random!

Do you like what you see? Before you commit, you should definitely take a look at the other two versions!

If you choose the black Starry Version, you will receive a black hardcover book whose cover shows a starry sky . Inside is an 88-page photo book, one of 6 CDs, a hologram postcard, 2 of 24 photo cards, a photo card frame and a folded poster.

After these two versions it becomes clear how much Astro has prepared for their fans, and the third is also completely different:

The Road Version is a square, brown box containing a 116-page photo book, one of 6 CDs s, a postcard, a sticker sheet, a photo booth and 2 of 24 photo cards.

As you can see, each version has something different to offer; So it would be worth ordering all three as a set! If you pre-order the album, you will also receive an optional poster!

You can find all three versions here in our shop!
