On April 20th, Moonbin’s agency Fantagio announced his passing on the 19th through their official SNS account. The company stated that all funeral procedures and interviews of mourners will be conducted privately at the request of the bereaved family.
Therefore, this action of not only Moonbin’s fans but also K-pop lovers has touched many people.

According to pictures revealed by fans, letters and post-it notes for Moonbin continued to get attached to the walls of Fantagio’s building even early in the morning with dozens of white flower bouquets being placed side by side. In particular, fans also brought Moonbin’s favorite foods and snacks to the memorial place, confirming their deep love for the late idol.
Moonbin was found dead by his manager at his residence in Gangnam-gu, Seoul at around 8:10 p.m. on April 19th. The deceased’s mortuary was set up at the funeral hall of Asan Hospital in Seoul. The funeral will be held as quietly as possible with the attendance of only family members, relatives, and colleagues at 8 a.m. on the 22nd.
Moonbin was born in 1998 and he used to work as a model for children’s clothing. In particular, he appeared in TVXQ’s “Balloons” music video as Little U-know Yunho and gained attention. In 2009, he officially debuted in the entertainment industry by starring in KBS 2TV’s drama “Boys Over Flower”.
