Expanding their reach, Astro debuted in Japan on April 3, 2019, with the EP Venus, which saw significant success on the Oricon charts. Despite facing challenges, such as member Moonbin taking a hiatus for health reasons in November 2019, the group continued to release hit music and achieve music show wins, with Moonbin returning to activities in early 2020. In the following years, Astro continued to make significant strides, releasing several successful albums and EPs, including Gateway (2020), All Yours (2021), Switch On (2021), and Drive to the Starry Road (2022), each bringing in music show wins and setting new records for the group.

The band faced a tragic loss with the death of member Moonbin in 2023, but its members continued to pursue individual projects, with Cha Eun-woo embarking on a solo concert tour and preparing for a solo album release, while Yoon San-ha planned intimate theater concerts. In 2024, Astro issued the single "Circles" to celebrate the 8th anniversary of their debut.
