Fantagio's ASTRO Tops Japanese Charts and Joins Drama OST... "Full-Scale Entry into Global Market"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Fantagio's global boy group ‘ASTRO’ is participating in a Japanese drama OST for the first time. This is expected to further boost ASTRO's popularity in Japan.

Fantagio announced on the 8th that ‘All Good,’ a track from ASTRO's second full-length album ‘All Yours,’ will be featured in the drama ‘Jinsei Iroiro (人生いろいろ),’ commemorating the 25th anniversary of the launch of ‘Tokyo MX.’

‘All Good,’ included in the drama OST, was composed and written by ASTRO member Jinjin. The song enhances ASTRO's unique charm with emotional yet refreshing vocals from the members, aiming to touch the hearts of Japanese viewers.

The Japanese drama ‘Jinsei Iroiro’ depicts unchanging love and friendship, as well as the affection and love between parents and children. It tells the story of a mother who raised five brothers and her sons. Popular Japanese actors Teranishi Yuuma and Yagami Ren star in the drama, which is scheduled to air from the 9th.

A Fantagio representative said, “ASTRO is steadily rising in Japan, breaking their own records and emerging as a new Hallyu group. We expect their popularity in Japan to increase significantly through participation in the OST of a terrestrial Japanese channel drama.”

He added, “Based on the achievements ASTRO has shown in Japan, we plan to actively enter the global market, and the company will support ASTRO to succeed worldwide. We will also continue to discover talented rookie groups targeting the global market, like ASTRO.”

ASTRO released their second full-length album ‘All Yours’ in April. At the time of release, the album ranked number one for two consecutive weeks on the comprehensive album chart at all Tower Records stores in Japan and topped the Oricon weekly album chart. Riding on their continued popularity, their title track ‘ONE’ ranked number one on the ‘Weekly USEN HIT K-POP’ chart in the first week of June.
