The 2nd ASTROAD to SEOUL: STAR LIGHT

**The 2nd ASTROAD to SEOUL [STAR LIGHT]** was a concert tour headlined by the South Korean boy band ASTRO. The tour had stops in South Korea, Taiwan, the United States, Hong Kong, and Thailand.

## Background

On November 9, 2018, Fantagio announced that ASTRO would headline their second solo concert, titled *The 2nd ASTROAD to SEOUL [STAR LIGHT]*. They were scheduled to perform on both December 22 and 23, 2018 at KBS Arena Hall in Gangseo-gu, Seoul. The concert marked ASTRO's first solo performance after one year and five months. The concert lasted 120 minutes.

On January 21, 2019, Fantagio announced that ASTRO would continue their 2nd ASTROAD to SEOUL by going on their first world tour. The second part, entitled [STAR LIGHT], was set to start on March 16, 2019 in Taipei, Taiwan and end on April 27, 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand.

A recording of the tour was released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 14, 2019. The recording also includes two discs, as well as making films for [STAR LIGHT], the posters and merchandise, the VCR, the practices and rehearsals, and the D-DAY promotions. The first disc has a runtime of 130 minutes, while the second disc runs 115 minutes. Subtitles in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese are available.

## Trivia

* Since the Seoul concerts marked the group's first solo activity since their promotions for *Rise Up* and therefore the end of their indefinite hiatus, the group's members cried during them.
* As the first tour date, March 16, 2019, took place one day after JinJin's birthday, the group celebrated his birthday at the concert.
* In Taipei, they sang "Love Confession" (告白氣球) by Jay Chou and "Practice Love" (修炼爱情) by JJ Lin for their fans as both are songs by local artists.
