• A year later, Cha Eun Woo's heartfelt tribute to Moonbin: "I miss you and love you so much"

    On April 19th, ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo shared a heartfelt tribute to his late bandmate, Moonbin, on his social media. He posted the cover art of fellow ASTRO member Jinjin's newly released digital single, 'Fly'.

    In his post, Eun Woo tagged both Moonbin and Jinjin's accounts, expressing his deep longing and love for Moonbin with the words, "I miss you and love you so much."

    He further emphasized his feelings by adding a moon emoji, a symbol associated with Moonbin, making the sentiment even more touching.

    'Fly' is a special song that Jinjin had a hand in both writing and composing. It serves as a precious gift to fans who are missing Moonbin and longing to see him.

    What makes this song even more special is that it was a collaborative effort between Jinjin and Moonbin, and it even includes Moonbin's voice, making it a truly meaningful present for their fans.

    Sadly, on the same date last year, Moonbin was found lifeless at his residence in Seoul. His manager discovered him and immediately called for emergency services. Despite being rushed to the hospital, Moonbin tragically passed away. He was only 25 years old.

    Fantagio, the agency representing ASTRO, released a statement expressing their sorrow over the devastating news, "We are deeply saddened to share this heartbreaking news. On April 19, our beloved ASTRO member Moonbin left us too soon and became a star in the sky," announcing the untimely demise of Moonbin.

    The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

    “I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

    He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

    “In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

    Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
