PUMANAW sa edad na 25 si Moonbin ng K-pop group na Astro at subunit na Moonbin&Sanha nitong Miyerkules. Inaalam pa ang sanhi ng pagkamatay nito.
Ayon sa ulat, natagpuan ang walang buhay na katawan ni Moonbin sa kanyang apartment sa Gangnam-gu, Seoul ng kanyang manager na agad tumawag ng pulis.
Kinumpirma naman ito ng kanyang talent agency na Fantagio.
“First, we apologize for having to convey this sorrowful and heartbreaking news. On April 19, ASTRO member Moonbin suddenly left us and has now become a star in the sky,” ayon sa kalatas mula sa agency.
Dagdag nito: “Although it cannot compare to the grief of the bereaved family that had to part with their beloved son and brother, his fellow artists and the staff here at Fantagio, who have been together with him for a long time, are also deeply mourning the departed amidst tremendous shock and sorrow. It pains us even more to have to convey this sudden news to the fans who have given their unsparing love and support to Moonbin. Because we know all too well just how unparalleled the departed was in his love for his fans, whom he was constantly thinking of, the grief is all the more overwhelming.”
“According to the bereaved family’s wishes, the funeral will be held as quietly as possible with family, friends and company colleagues in attendance,” base pa sa kalatas.
Nakiusap rin ito sa publiko na iwasang maglabas ng haka-haka ukol sa pagpanaw ng K-pop idol.
“We earnestly ask you to refrain from speculative and malicious reports so that the bereaved family who is deeply saddened by the sudden sad news can mourn the deceased,” anito.
