MOONBIN & SANHA
Both Moonbin & Sanha started hosting in Show Champion in March 2020.
This was the initial work they both had together, just the both of them, before debuting in September 2020. In an interview with Marie Claire Korea, Moonbin expressed his desire to have a performance with Sanha during their concert. This sparked the interest in starting a sub-unit despite a slight hesitance from Sanha in the beginning.
They debuted on September 14, 2020 with the album title ‘In-Out’ and they promoted this album with their title track ‘Bad Idea’.
They’ve released 2 albums since their debut as a sub-unit. Their most recent one being ‘Incense’, which was released last January 4, 2023, where they promoted with their title track, ‘Madness’.
With 3 albums on their discography as a duo, they are set to have their 1st ever fan con tour as a unit starting March 18, Seoul being their first stop and Manila being their second stop on March 25.
