ASTRO’s Sanha and MJ featured in a recent pictorial with Marie Claire!

In the accompanying interview, the two members were asked to describe each other. MJ said, “Sanha is the youngest member, but he’s not the type to make you worry. He does his best to do what’s required of him, and he does his share. He always works very hard, so we’re always very proud of him.” Laughing, MJ added, “We think he learned from watching the other group members.” Sanha said, “So he’s basically complimenting himself.” Describing MJ, he said, “MJ is the oldest member. We’re six years apart, but he always treats me like a friend, and I’m thankful. At 26, I don’t know where his energy comes from, but he always takes on the role of raising the team mood.”

MJ and Sanha are both the youngest in their respective families. MJ said, “There are six ASTRO members, and Sanha, JinJin, and I are all the youngest in our families. The other three are all the oldest. If you watch us, you can tell. The three who are the youngest [in their families] are very cute and like to play around, and the other three are actually like the oldest members.”

When asked to choose which of their songs fits their own style the best, MJ said, “‘Role Play’ from our ‘All Light’ album. I think ‘Blue Flame,’ the title for our recent album, is also a good fit.” Sanha said, “We have a lot of dance songs as our title tracks, but personally, I like ballads. I think the song that fits me the best is ‘You’re My World’ from our recent album. If the opportunity arises, I’d like to make an album with a vocal unit like BTOB did.”

On who they’d like to try creating a unit group with, MJ said, “Rocky and I are really different in voice, vibe, and personality. So I’d like to try a unit with him. I think if our different personalities meet, we could make a charming group.”

Sanha said he’d like to try making a band with JinJin and Moonbin. “JinJin would play the drums, I would play guitar, and Bin would sing."

Revealing personal and group goals for the new year, Sanha said, “I wanted to master a foreign language in 2019, but I wasn’t able to. I want to do it in 2020. For a group goal, I want ASTRO to become more famous. I’m going to work hard with that in mind, because we have a long way to go.”

MJ said, “My personal goal is to get six-pack abs.” Sanha quipped, “But you don’t even try.” MJ said, “That’s not true. I diet whenever we’re promoting, but it’s hard.” MJ revealed that his goal for the group is to have a concert more than once a year. He said, “So far we’ve only done one a year. In 2020, I want to us to do one in the summer, and one in the winter.”
