Pre-debut
Fantagio revealed on December 27, 2021, that Jinjin and Rocky would collaborate as a duo and release their EP Restore in January. The EP’s name, meaning "Recovery," was intended to provide comfort during the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. Both artists held the roles of main rappers and dancers within Astro.
