yesterday was the death of moonbin from astro age 25. hes been a familiar face to me since he debuted when i was only 12. i never knew much about him but every time i saw him he always had the prettiest eye smile and brightest grin. he is tall, handsome, and very talented.
moonbin’s passing stopped my world. just five days ago, he released tiktoks where he’s giggling and dancing with the biggest smile on his face. in those moments, everything seemed normal and if you told me just two days ago what would become of him i would’ve called you a liar. yet on the night of april 19th, he became one with the stars. it felt like the product of a fever dream. moonbin left behind his younger sister, moon sua, whom he recently got really close to within the last few years. moon sua heavily relied on her brother (even if it was in the dark) and highly respected him and i was happy to see their sibling dynamic. it was heartbreaking to hear moonbin’s message for sua to be happy in 2023 and i cant even imagine what his family and friends are going through. moonbin, the greatest and most genuine guy who deserved (and received) so much love. i write this message as a way of burning my first and last memory of him in my heart forever. he was an innocent man with big dreams who just needed a little bit of rest. i hope that he finds peace and knows that we are very proud of him
