The investigation revealed that the police in Gangnam are still investigating the matter and are charging those who are involved. It was speculated that he died by suicide. Moonbin from ASTRO was reportedly found dead at his residence in Gangnam at 8:10 pm KST on April 19th.
The initial news reports about the death of the singer were indeed confirmed by Fantagio, Moonbin’s agency, shortly after the incoming news reports about it.
K-pop fans were shocked by the sudden passing of a popular singer and took to social media to express their heartfelt condolences. Rumors soon began circulating that the singer had died from a stroke.
However, AROHAs have taken it upon themselves to call out such attention-seeking behavior by speculating on the cause behind ASTRO Moonbin’s death, showing respect for the grieving family’s request not to do so.
@Woojongexe expressed, “Why can’t everyone simply offer prayers,” in reply to the speculations.
The Gangnam police were called right away and they found him, the manager of ASTRO’s Moonbin, at his posh home in the Gangnam neighborhood of Seoul. This happened at 8:10 pm on April 19th, KST.
During the initial investigation by the Gangnam Police, they are discussing the possibility of conducting an autopsy to determine the specific cause of death. It appears that Moonbin took his own life.
Fresh speculations have emerged over the cause of his death, and members and fans of the K-pop mourning fraternity have been dedicating sorrowful and heartfelt eulogies and condolences to the deceased star ASTRO in the past day.
The family of Moonbin, a K-pop fan who goes by the username @torky_mero, released a statement confirming that the singer died of a sudden stroke, which resulted in him losing his life. The statement also revealed that he had heart problems and high blood pressure.
Moreover, supporters disregarded rumors of a supposed self-inflicted death by the vocalist and urged fellow supporters to do likewise.
However, it is important for fans of ASTRO and other alleged fans to refrain from spreading speculation, myths, or lies that may further hurt the grieving family. It should be noted that the bereaved family has not made any public statements regarding these allegations.
They were deeply saddened and shocked by the untimely death of the singer, and ASTRO’s agency released a statement confirming the singer’s demise shortly after the initial reports.
Furthermore, they conveyed the mourning family’s desire for a funeral march without the participation of the press, photographers, or any external individuals.
Fantagio, the agency itself, has requested the media to refrain from writing malicious and speculative articles regarding the death of the singer’s Perfumer. They have released official statements believing only in news or rumors and urged fans to exercise caution and not buy into vindictive speculations. Additionally, the agency emphasized the importance of not engaging in speculative writing.
All members of ASTRO are present alongside the grieving family. Billie’s Moon Sua, his sister, has been selected as the primary mourner for the funeral march while his family is currently occupied with his last rituals.
Last evening, Cha Eun-woo, who promptly flew down from Los Angeles, met the mourning family and went directly to see them. Rocky, JinJin, and Yoon Sanha protected the mortuary to prevent the intrusion of the media and supporters, while MJ, who was on military duty, received special permission to participate in the funeral of the deceased singer.
Meanwhile, according to the latest investigation reported by Gangnam Police, there are no signs of criminal charges, murder, or any note of suicide found at his residence.
Moonbin from ASTRO was said to be not feeling well in the beginning of April.
The singer INCENSE announced on April 7th that he had missed a flight to Bangkok for a tour because he was feeling unwell. Additionally, it was reported that the singer was unwell in early April and shared this with his fans.
The ASTRO member was planning to hold a concert titled “Con: [Diffusion] Fan SANHA & MOONBIN 2023” on Saturday, April 22nd at Broadway Theatre in Macau, but it has now been canceled.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, fans will have their tickets refunded. The Jakarta leg of the Diffusion Tour: Con Fan SANHA & MOONBIN 2023, which was scheduled to take place, has also been postponed.
Fans are eagerly awaiting an official statement from Fantagio.
