K-Pop Blog > News > Astro

On May 16, 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" at our store!

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

However, the group was not idle during this time. In September, the single "Alive" was released for the mobile app "Universe" and following that, the members were out individually. Main vocal MJ made his official solo debut on November 3 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 released two soundtrack songs in between.

So fans really lacked nothing in the past months, but of course they are especially happy that Astro will soon return as a group! Especially since MJ announced in April that he will begin his military service on May 9. So he won't be there for the release of the new album "Drive to the Starry Road" on May 16. So the album is a kind of farewell gift.

Drive to the Starry Road

Yesterday a tracklist was released on Twitter, thanks to which we know that the new album will contain 11 tracks including the title track "Candy Sugar Pop"!

There are three versions that not only contain different concepts, but all 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. It is by far the largest of the three versions at 220 by 295 millimeters! 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 the photo of one of the six members. Which one you find in your album is random!

Do you like what you see? But before you decide, be sure to check out the other two versions!

If you choose the black Starry version , you'll get a black hardcover book with a starry sky on the cover. 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 folding poster.

Already after these two versions it is clear how much Astro has prepared for their fans, and the third one is quite different again:

The Road Version is a square brown box that contains a 116-page photo book, one of 6 CD`s, a postcard, a sticker sheet, a photo standee 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 right away! By the way, if you pre-order the album, you'll get an optional poster to go with it!

You can find all three versions here in our store!
