CHAMELEON IN BLOOM: ASTRO’s YOON SAN-HA Dives Into Summer With Music, Acting, and a World Tour

ASTRO’s beloved maknae, Yoon San-ha, is entering a bold new era—one that’s as vibrant, surprising, and genre-defying as his second solo mini-album CHAMELEON, released on July 15.

From exploring personal growth through music to embracing a gender-bending romantic comedy and launching a global fan tour, San-ha is proving he’s no longer just the youngest in the group—he’s a dynamic solo force in full bloom.

CHAMELEON: A Sonic Leap in Color

San-ha’s CHAMELEON is a radiant burst of sound, capturing the kaleidoscopic moods of summer. Featuring the sultry title track “Extra Virgin,” the smooth groove of “Aura,” and the cheeky charm of “Bad Mosquito,” the album embraces musical duality—balancing playful and introspective tones. Critics have praised its fearless experimentation, noting San-ha’s evolving artistry and his growing confidence as a solo performer. From vocal texture to genre fusion, CHAMELEON doesn’t just entertain—it transforms.

First Lead Role: My Girlfriend Is the Man!

As if a genre-defying album weren’t enough, San-ha is also stepping into his first-ever lead acting role in the KBS2 romantic comedy My Girlfriend Is the Man!, which premiered on July 23. Adapted from a hit webtoon, the series follows Park Yoon-jae, an astronomy major (played by San-ha), whose girlfriend Kim Ji-eun (Arin of OH MY GIRL) wakes up one day in the body of a man (played by rookie actor Yoo Jung-hoo). What unfolds is a quirky, heart-tugging tale of identity, acceptance, and love that transcends gender. Adding a twist to the triangle is Kang Min-ju (portrayed by Chuu, formerly of LOONA), a bubbly classmate who finds herself falling for Yoon-jae.

The show’s unusual premise is grounded by San-ha’s earnest performance, which brings warmth and sincerity to a character navigating love in the most unexpected circumstances. It’s a brave, refreshing role that showcases San-ha’s ability to carry emotional depth and comedic timing—hallmarks of a promising screen star.
