The group debuted in 2016 with six members-JinJin, MJ, Cha Eun-woo, Moonbin, Rocky, and Yoon San-ha. Their initial concepts were bright and fun, but it was precisely the variety of music and performance styles that captured the attention of international fans. Over the years, ASTRO's discography varies from highly energized pop tracks to extremely emotional matured ballads, categorizing them as artists with enough capability to deliver a wide range of tracks.
This single, Knock, from their All Yours album, showed that the band could evolve musically. This is a song with great tempo and funky rhythms. Its chorus is extremely catchy, making you repeat it a thousand times. The song's lyrics talk about knocking on the door of somebody's heart, which is about taking the chance on love and connecting. The track reflected the same energetic flavor in performances by members who put strong vocals into intricate choreography. It was a track that immediately sprang to life, showing much more than they had so far, including the emotional depth they could bring to a song.
Knock by ASTRO is the true test to its ever-changing nature of artistry. It is not just with the music that this group has stolen many hearts but also through their acting talents, as the members such as Cha Eun-woo are becoming stars in the Korean entertainment industry. His role in the drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty that widely expanded a fanbase for ASTRO further cemented their place in the K-pop competitive landscape.
However, that is not all for the group. ASTRO had to experience all the pressures of rigid K-pop trends as well as high performance standards. Yet that does not overpower the strength and unity of the group, helping them endure, thus making the group widely appreciated by other critics and fans all over the world.

The future seems endless for ASTRO, whose way music continues to grow in complexity as the individual talents shine within. Music and acting go beyond their own "knocking" performance. Knock, a song that brought it home for them, a season performer, but far beyond what promises to be is going to be, perhaps long and successful ones.It was seen through ASTRO's performance that they are indeed more than just a boy group–they are indeed a force to be reckoned with in the K-pop world, capable of taking risks, exploring new musical territories, and always ready with performances that leave indelible marks on their fans' hearts.
