On October 7 at 1:26 AM KST, ASTRO member Sanha revealed an emotional cover song, sharing a piece of his heart with fans. 

The ASTRO member sang an acoustic cover of "Neko" by the Japanese band DISH//, writing,

"When I first heard this song, tears came to my eyes.
I felt like the song had put my own feelings into words.
So I wanted to sing a cover of it. 
Me, my family, our members, our Arohas, everyone. I'm sure that we will be happy one day. Definitely."

Fans who watched the cover video noticed that Sanha had personally written out the Korean translation of the song's lyrics, making a notable change in the song's message: the original song lyrics are dedicated to an unidentified "you", but in place of "you", Sanha had written "hyung". 

With the original "you" in the lyrics changed to "hyung", the song went, 

"Hyung, if you were an abandoned cat
I would pick you up and hold you tightly in my arms.
If you were hurt, I would treat your wound
and share all of my warmth with you.
I miss you, hyung, I can't seem to forget about you.
Please show yourself in front of me again, even in the form of a cat.
Just one day, show up before my eyes.
I will become happy one day, definitely."

Many fans pointed out that the late ASTRO member Moonbin's frequently used nickname was "pup-kitty", because he was sometimes puppy-like and sometimes cat-like. 

Thanks to Sanha's sincere cover song, fans expressed that they felt comfort and companionship, and also commended the idol for his honesty in expressing his own emotional state through music.

A beautiful cover of a beautiful song. ❤️
The original was also used as the main theme song for a heartbreaking drama, so listening to the song is in general an emotional experience. It always makes me teary-eyed. The lyrics change, though. 🥺
