Jinjin & Rocky (Korean: 진진&라키) was the second official sub-unit of South Korean boy band Astro. The duo was formed by Fantagio in 2022, and was composed of two members: Jinjin and Rocky. Their debut extended play, Restore, was released on January 17, 2022.
On December 27, 2021, Fantagio released a surprise image teaser announcing that Jinjin and Rocky would form a duo and release their EP Restore the next month.[1] It was revealed that the EP title means Recovery and the duo planned to deliver healing in their own way from the COVID-19 situation.[2] Both Jinjin & Rocky were active as the main rappers and dancers of Astro.
On January 17, Jinjin & Rocky officially debuted with the EP Restore and its lead single, "Just Breath"[A] (숨좀쉬자).[3] The EP contains five songs of various genres—two songs sung by Jinjin & Rocky, two solo songs sung by Rocky and one song sung by Jinjin that features Weki Meki's Choi Yoo-jung.[4] Jinjin and Rocky were actively involved in the production of all songs.[4]
On February 28, 2023, Rocky did not renew his contract and thus left Fantagio and Astro, thereby ending the duo sub-unit.[5]
