Pre-debut

[edit]

On August 21, 2020, Fantagio Music released an image teaser with a logo and a date confirming that Moonbin and Sanha would form a sub-unit and release an EP in the next month.[1] Before debut, both Moonbin and Sanha co-hosted the music show Show Champion since March 2020 along with Verivery's Kangmin. In a press Q&A, Moonbin and Sanha stated that their chemistry while co-hosting inspired them to form a sub-unit.[2]

2020–2023: Debut with In-Out and Refuge and Moonbin's death

[edit]

On September 14, 2020, Moonbin & Sanha officially debuted with the EP In-Out and its title track, "Bad Idea".[3] A week later, on September 22, they gained their first music show trophy with the single on SBS MTV The Show.[4] A week after its release, In-Out debuted at number 9 on the weekly overseas album chart of Oricon and at number 2 on the weekly album chart of Gaon.[5][6]

On February 11, 2022, Moonbin & Sanha released the pre-release single "Ghost Town", before the release of their second EP Refuge on March 15, featuring the title track "Who".[7][8]

On December 3, 2022, Fantagio announced that Moonbin & Sanha would make a comeback on January 4, 2023, and scheduled to return with their third EP Incense.[9]

On April 19, 2023, Moonbin was found dead, thus resulting in the sub-unit's disbandment.[10] On April 27, Fantagio confirmed the unit's Weverse community would be shut down on April 30, nearly 2 weeks after its initial creation.[11]
