Yoon San-ha of K-pop boy band ASTRO unveiled a spectrum of his artistry and personality during his first-ever solo fan concert, “PRISM: FROM Y TO A,” on Sunday at the SM North EDSA Skydome.
Presented by L-Squared Productions, San-ha kicked off the show with his solo debut title track, “Dive,” as ASTRO’s fans, a.k.a. Aroha, welcomed the K-pop star with passionate cheers.
“Kumusta, Manila? Ang tagal ko kayong hinintay. Na-miss ko kayo!,” San-ha himself conveyed after an intense stage of “BLEEDING.
“I think the heat of Philippine Aroha is no joke!” he added through an interpreter.
Witnessing a crowd illuminated by his group’s lightstick (Robong), he expressed gratitude for the warm reception.
“I’m really happy to be back, and I’m really thankful that there were a lot of Arohas waiting for me,” San-ha remarked.
His last visit to the country was in March 2023, wherein he and late co-member Moonbin held their subunit fancon.
“From Y to A, I’ll show you everything about me — Yoon Sanha,” the 25-year-old artist said.
True to his words, what unfolded next before the eyes of his fans was a more mature performer, dancing seductively to “Bad Mosquito.”
With the crowd going crazy, San-ha calmed the mood with self-composed ballad song, “AURA,” and “Bittersweet Mistake.”
When the vibe was about to get mellow, an amusing moment between San-ha and Arohas was created. Fans playfully uttered “is” as if teasing San-ha, who first tried to segue by saying, “Next song is…”
“Why are you following me?” “[Am I a] teacher?” he quipped.
From a light-hearted point, he subtly shifted to an emotional portion of another song he wrote, “Wish,” followed by “Distance,” where Moonbin’s singing voice in the track’s latter part was heard.
With a heartwarming atmosphere, San-ha then brought Arohas to the show’s fan meeting segment dubbed “PRISM ESCAPE,” hosted by Karen Bordador.
One of the highlights was when he danced to the viral TikTok challenge of P-pop group VXON’s hit “Dapat Lang Ako Lang,” sending the crowd into a frenzy as he tried to perfect the moves while flashing his playful smile.
Each mission drew louder cheers and laughter, proving that beyond his powerful performances, San-ha’s humor as Astro’s “giant maknae” (youngest yet tallest member) made it more unforgettable.

After the fun segment, he kept the energy high with a cool and sleek performance of “Extra Virgin,” the title track from his second mini album “CHAMELEON,” released on July 15, 2025.
He also danced to ASTRO’s songs “Candy Sugar Pop,” where the venue turned into a one big party. He followed it with an energetic performance of “Baby,” as Arohas continued to sing along with him.
As a special gift for the fans, San-ha stepped down from the platform and walked closer to the audience while singing “Your Day” by Moonbin and him. He tossed signed balls to lucky Arohas, creating a touching scene where the song’s meaning resonated even deeper.
“I hope you guys cherish the signed balls I gave you. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang gabing ito. Salamat po,” he said.
Filo Aroha’s energy remained unwavering as confetti rained down during his performance of “6PM (Nobody’s Business),” followed by “24 Hours,” for his encore, where paper planes prepared by fans soared onto the stage, each one filled with heartwarming messages of love and support.
Before officially ending the night, San-ha delighted fans with “Love You Like Fools,” filling the venue with music, emotion, and shared memories between him and Arohas.
“Thank you so much for your passion and love. Please remember me until I come back. Salamat po. Magkikita tayo muli. Mahal ko kayo, Pilipinas! I will make sure to treasure this forever. Hanggang sa muli. Hintayin ninyo ako,” he stated before exiting the platform.
After wrapping up his solo fancon in Manila, San-ha will bring his “PRISM: from Y to A” tour to several Asia stops, including Kobe, Japan, Yokohama, and Bangkok, Thailand.
