“Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook” is a pop music program that is both a talk show and a live music show hosted by Yu Hui Yeol, also known as Toy! Each week, various musicians from different fields perform their music and talk with Yu Hui Yeol. In “Yu Huiyeol’s Sketchbook” episode 427, ASTRO members went to the show to promote their new album for the first time!
Yu Hui Yeol enjoyed talking and listening to the group’s performance, saying that Astro is a refreshing and vibrant group. He even joked that he and Eunwoo should not meet three times because they are doppelgangers! There’s a saying that doppelgangers die when they meet three times. It was really a fun encounter!
Cha Eun Woo Sang a Special Song he also Co-Wrote
Cha Eun Woo also sang the theme song for his web drama “Together,” and he co-wrote the lyrics! Eunwoo sang the song while playing the piano and everyone fell in love with his angelic and calming voice. I also can’t stop looking at him because he’s that BEAUTIFUL.
ASTRO also went to “Weekly Idol“! “Weekly Idol” is a popular comedy and variety show where we can see a new side of our favorite idol group members. On “Weekly Idol” they participate in challenges, take on intriguing competitions, and show us their best moves as they dance to different songs! In “Weekly Idol” episode 434, ASTRO visited the show to promote their comeback and performed their title track Blue Flame!

Another talented member of ASTRO is San Ha, who also competed in “The King of Mask Singer,” an MBC music competition program where contestants are given detailed masks and gloves to wear to conceal their identity, thus removing popularity, career, and age factors that could lead to prejudiced voting.
