ASTRO's Yoon Sanha has made a comeback with a new song that strongly reflects his identity after about 10 months. On the 20th at 6 PM, he released all songs from his third solo mini-album "NO REASON" and the music video for the title track "IDK ME" through various music streaming sites. This is his first solo album release in about 10 months since the second mini-album "CHAMELEON" released last July. Entering his third year of solo activities, he focused on accepting 'his true self' and expressing his essence honestly rather than proving something with this album. The title track "IDK ME" is an abbreviation for "I don't know me" and carries a proactive message about moving forward as oneself without being swayed by others' gazes or standards. Lyrics like "I don't copy, I just ride as I want," "Chains trying to confine me," and "Don't care 'bout it" convey a will to walk one's own path, free from surrounding expectations and fixed notions. Particularly, the phrase "IDK ME / But I like this vibe" contains a message of loving 'the current version of oneself' even if one cannot fully define themselves yet. Yoon Sanha actively participated in the overall production from the planning stage of the album, reflecting his identity as a solo artist throughout the work. In addition to including his self-composed song "If We," he also participated in the lyrics for the track "+1," proving his matured musical skills. Furthermore, in a Q&A released before the new song, he introduced it as an album filled with 'Yoon Sanha himself.' As he said, "NO REASON" is seen as a work that breaks the fixed notions that had bound him and depicts Yoon Sanha's most honest and free 'new chapter.'
