On the first anniversary of Moonbin’s passing, Cha Eun-woo of ASTRO took to his social media to pay tribute to his late bandmate and friend. Sharing the cover photo of ASTRO JinJin’s new digital single “Fly,” which includes Moonbin’s voice, Cha Eun-woo tagged Moonbin and JinJin’s SNS accounts and wrote, “I miss you and I love you.”
The song “Fly” holds special significance as it was co-created by JinJin and Moonbin before Moonbin’s tragic passing, making it a heartfelt gift to fans who continue to cherish his memory.
Moonbin’s sudden death on April 19th last year sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, leaving his colleagues and loved ones devastated. His sister, Moon Sua, a member of the girl group Billie, paused her activities to arrange his funeral and has since resumed her career after a period of mourning.
Friends and fellow artists, including members of ASTRO, SEVENTEEN’s Boo Seung-kwan and Woozi, and VIVIZ’s SinB and Umji, have continued to mourn Moonbin’s loss. Woozi, in particular, fulfilled a promise to Moonbin by releasing a song titled “What Kind of Future” earlier this year.
Moonbin’s legacy in the entertainment industry is profound, starting from his early days as a child actor appearing in TVXQ’s “Balloon” music video to his debut as a member of ASTRO in 2016. He garnered immense love and admiration from fans worldwide for his talents and endearing personality.
As fans and colleagues remember Moonbin on this solemn occasion, his impact on the entertainment world and the enduring affection he inspired among those who knew him are cherished memories that continue to resonate.
