Astro unveiled Thursday behind-the-scenes footage from a shoot for the jacket of the band’s first album, “All Light.”

Inside a greenhouse full of tall plants looming over them, the bandmates wore clothes in green and brown shades to match the overall natural but mysterious atmosphere of the shoot.

“My face is still a bit rigid since it’s only 8 in the morning,” Yoon San-ha said cringing his face as if to stretch the muscles.

“As you can see from the colors of our attire, our concept today is ‘gardeners,’” Cha Eun-woo said.

Moon-bin explained the concept given to each of the members for the album’s jacket. “If San-ha and Rocky represent freshness, for Eun-woo and I, the concept is ‘maturity.’”

“MJ and JinJin are the ripened set,” Moon-bin went on. “They’re going to look the best.”

San-ha said they were trying out colored lenses for the shoot at the request of fans.

“I think I look a bit more mysterious,” Eun-woo said, looking at the pictures taken.

After individual photo shoots, the six members gathered for group moments, which included a bit of playing around.

In one of the shoots, MJ stands among flower vases laid out on the floor, covered in glitter.

“I think the jacket shoot was a challenge for all of us,” JinJin said as they wrapped up the shoot. “As this is our first studio album, we really hope you guys love it.”

The band returned Wednesday with the 10-track album after a 14-month break.
