Returning to Korea from the U.S. for Moonbin’s funeral, Cha Eun Woo appeared in all-black outfits and with teary eyes
Upon hearing the sad news of member Moonbin, ASTRO Cha Eun Woo quickly returned home from his schedule in the U.S.
Cha Eun Woo, who was carrying out personal activities in the U.S., urgently returned home as soon as he received the heartbreaking news of member Moonbin’s passing. He arrived at Incheon International Airport on the evening of April 20th.
Through the photos and videos captured by reporters, Cha Eun Woo arrived at Incheon Airport wearing a navy Dior jacket, a hat, and a mask, all in black color. Leaving the departure hall, he showed a deeply saddened expression.
It is known that Cha Eun Woo headed straight to Moonbin’s mortuary.
Other ASTRO members also shared their grief together. Leader JinJin and member Sanha, who worked with Moonbin in a subunit, were the first to come to the funeral hall, while the eldest brother MJ, who is currently serving in the military, took an emergency leave and went straight to Moonbin’s mortuary. In addition, former member Rocky, who left ASTRO in February, reportedly came to the funeral hall to mourn.
Other colleagues in the music industry also expressed their condolences. Seventeen postponed the release of their comeback content, while IU pushed back the schedule for her new movie promotional interview.
The production team of MBC M’s “Show Champion”, where Moonbin used to work as an MC until last year, posted a memorial message on their official SNS account, saying “2 years and 8 months with Moonbin. It was really warm, thank you. So many happy reasons together, we will forever remember.”
This week’s new release schedule of “MMTG”, the Youtube content that Moonbin appeared on when he was alive, was also canceled. Other famous Youtube channels “No Prepared” and “BamBam Social Club” also decided to take a week off to mourn.
Born in 1998, Moonbin made his debut as a child actor in DBSK’s music video “Balloons” in 2006. He later gained attention by playing the role of young Kim Bum in KBS’s 2009 drama “Boys Over Flowers”. After making his debut as a member of ASTRO in 2016, Moonbin also formed a subunit with member Sanha and received huge love from global fans. The duo released their third mini album “INCENSE” in January this year.
According to the police, Moonbin was found dead by his manager at his residence in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. He passed away at the age of 25. The deceased’s mortuary was set up in Room 30 of Asan Hospital’s funeral hall and his funeral will be held on the 22nd.
