Four members of boy band Astro — JinJin, Cha Eun-woo, Moon Bin and Yoon San-ha — have renewed their contracts with Fantagio, the agency said Friday.
Addressing the other two members, “We are currently in discussion with Rocky, and we will talk with MJ after he is discharged from the military,” Fantagio said in a statement.
“For the four members who are continuing with Fantagio, we will do our best to aid them in their wide range of activities, so we ask for your love and support.”
Astro debuted in 2016 and is known for songs “Crazy Sexy Cool” (2017), “Blue Flame” (2019) and “One” (2021).
