MJ ‘Happy Virus’: Release date, music video and all about Astro star’s solo debut

MJ is the first Astro member to go solo and has roped in trot icons Young-tak and Kim Tae-yeon for his debut

With MJ being known as the ‘happy virus’ of Astro, the 4D entertainer has decided to run with that nickname for his solo debut too. The main vocalist happens to be the first member of the group to debut solo and so his solo debut single is titled ‘Happy Virus’. Astro happens to be the most diverse K-pop group as we have members who are popular idol actors like Eunwoo, MCs like Sanha and Moonbin and musical actors. In fact, MJ was roped in for the LGBT+ musical ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’.

He is also an all-rounder as he has hosted several variety shows and is considered to be the mood maker. The Astro member was also part of the trot project group Super Five along with the likes of Pentagon’s Hui and Park Hyung-suk. MJ’s love for trot can also be seen as he is partial to the genre whenever he is doing any solo projects. And so, it is fitting that his solo debut happens to be with the trot single album ‘Happy Virus’. The title track 'Get set yo' is made by none other than trot legend ‘Young-tak. It also features child singer Kim Tae-yeon.
