Newly-debuted K-Pop group ASTRO of Fantagio Music is preparing for an Asian tour in October.
The six-member boy band debuted on Feb. 23 with Jin Jin, Rocky, Sanha, Moonbin, Eunwoo and MJ. They have gained lots of attention with their song "Hide & Seek" from the debut album "Spring Up."
In July, ASTRO released a second album "Summer Vibes" with the song "Breathless." Though it may not sound ordinary for a group who had just debuted to have a tour all over Asia, ASTRO's concert could be the stepping stone for a global promotion, according to Music Times. An Asian tour is another way for the artists to meet their fans outside South Korea.
Fantagio Music's boys will kick off the concert on Oct. 29 with Bangkok as the first stop and will later on give the details for other Asian cities like Tokyo, Jakarta and Shanghai.
Korean music artists usually have to depend on their popularity before doing a concert. However, ASTRO stage performance got them a lot of calls from overseas.
The new group made a name and had likewise performed in this year's K-Pop Convention in Los Angeles in July, Billboard reported. Before debut, the Fantagio Music artists were already talents to watch for, as they were known for doing dance covers of other K-Pop groups as well as having appeared in the web drama, "To Be Continued."
Fantagio's new band encountered a minor accident last month, but fortunately, no one was harmed. It happened in a street without a stoplight and the collision's blame was on the other vehicle. The boys were asleep and did not get any injury.
Moving on with their planned schedules, the ASTRO boys have just concluded their "Breathless" promotion and are set for their first mini live concert. Their "ASTRO 2016 Mini Live" will be at the Performing Arts Center, Yangjae-dong on Aug. 27 and 28. On Aug. 14, Sunday, Fantagio released some information about the group with pictures and profiles of the members through their social media account.
The new K-Pop band will be in Manila, Philippines on Sept. 3 for a special episode of MBC's "Show Champion" alongside AOA, BAP, BTS, VIXX, Sonamoo and BAP. Check out ASTRO's new music video below.
