Singer Rocky expressed his feelings about reuniting with former ASTK members on stage for a concert.

On the afternoon of the 17th, Rocky said through a fan communication platform, "Isn't it a bit surprising for ASTK to perform?" He continued, "It's not something to think about.. It's natural, I'm happy too."

Previously, on the 14th, ASTK's agency, Fantagio, announced that "Rocky will join the ASTK solo concert. Since he has been with the name 'ASTK' for a long time, after in-depth discussions with the members, we proposed that Rocky participate in the performance, and Rocky also agreed to this proposal to join the stage."

Rocky had previously left the team after his exclusive contract with Fantagio ended in February 2023. He established his personal agency, One Fine Day Entertainment, and is currently active as a solo artist.

However, ASTK's group activities were temporarily halted when Moonbin passed away in April 2023. The members continued their individual activities through acting, musicals, and solo debuts. During this time, they decided to come together as a complete group again for this year's solo concert, and former member Rocky has agreed to join.

The members explained during a live broadcast, "We thought a lot about it. It was naturally a difficult issue for us, and above all, what remained most in our memory of Bin was his repeated wish to perform together as six and to see those stages. We couldn’t help but think of Rocky, so we proposed it to the agency and prepared to do it together."

Rocky also explained his reason for participating through a message to fans, saying, "I really miss Bin a lot while preparing. My heart feels heavy, but rather than just being heavy, I feel more happiness. Eunwoo said we should hold the concert Bin wanted before more time passes. What more needs to be said? We have to do it."

Meanwhile, ahead of the ASTK concert, on the 19th, a tribute song titled 'Moon' dedicated to the late Moonbin will be released, featuring ASTK's MJ, Jinjin, Cha Eunwoo, Yoon Sanha, VIVIZ, Monsta X's Minhyuk, Kihyun, IM, Seventeen's Hoshi, Wonwoo, Mingyu, DK, Seungkwan, Rocky, Choi Yujung, Kim Doyeon, SF9's Chanhee, Stray Kids' Bang Chan, and Billie's Moon Sua.
