Do you remember the days when BTS talked about all the groups they admired and wanted to follow? As the next generation developed, BTS became a shining example for rookie groups. The members of ASTRO have been admiring BTS for many years. They have covered BTS songs in the practice room.
In February 2017, a PD uploaded a photo with Cha Eun Woo, and eagle-eyed fans noticed that Eun Woo’s phone screen had an image from a BTS VLIVE. It became a hot topic on Pann and was featured in some articles, exciting fans of both groups. ASTRO not only sing and dance along, but also watch videos of the groups they love.
Moon Bin also expressed his desire to meet BTS’s maknae, Jungkook, as they are close in age. His dream came true at the Idol Star Athletics Championships when fans noticed Seungjun (KNK) bringing Moon Bin to meet Jungkook and introducing them to each other. Months later, a fancam showed Jungkook shouting Moon Bin’s name while ASTRO performed at the SBS Gayo Daejun 2016. Later, Moon Bin expressed his disappointment in an interview that the two could not meet due to their conflicting schedules.
The image of Moonbin (ASTRO)’s shining eyes during the closing of Meteor Garden was searched again.
