In January, DNM Entertainment confirmed the sub-unit’s appearance in Manila, after the announcement of their Seoul performances. The fan con tour follows the release of the sub-unit’s comeback mini-album, ‘Incense’ the same month. The release was previewed by lead single ‘Madness’, which featured co-writing credits from Moonbin and was supported with a laboratory-themed visual, which portrayed the duo as a pair of mad scientists.

‘Incense’ marks the duo’s third release, following their 2020 debut mini-album ‘In-Out’, which was led by the single, ‘Bad Idea’. In March 2022, they released their sophomore mini-album ‘Refuge’, which was previewed by singles ‘Ghost Town’ and ‘Who’.

Astro’s last full-length release as a group was May 2022’s ‘Drive To The Starry Road’, which was led by the single ‘Candy Sugar Pop’, and was recorded before MJ began serving his mandatory national service.

Moonbin and Yoon Sanha are among four members of the group who have renewed contracts with Fantagio Music, while remaining members Rocky and MJ have yet to conclude negotiations concerning their renewal.

Moonbin and Sanha’s ‘Diffusion’ fan con Asian tour dates are:

March 18 and 19 – Seoul, South Korea
March 25 – Manila, Philippines
April 8 – Bangkok, Thailand
April 22 – Macau, Hong Kong
April 30 – Taipei, Taiwan
