K-pop Group Astro Member Moon Bin Found Deceased in Home and Fantagio Releases Official Confirmation

What a terrible news to hear today and no matter that this has happened before it’s always so heartbreaking. Today K-ent has lost another music star as K-pop boy group Astro member Moon Bin was found deceased in his home. I only know of Astro as member Cha Eun Woo’s group since he’s acting a lot but the other members have remained primarily in the music and variety worlds hence I don’t know Moon Bin. But the group was quite popular and I’m sure his family, friends, and fans are processing this news and grieving at this time. Deepest condolences all around.

  • Goddamn he looks like Lee Min-Ho in that first photo on the op. I thought for once is that LMH's photo had to look it closely..

    By the way RIP he died young..

  • If this is another suicide, I don't see any effort from South Korean govt or any organisation addressing the fragile mental health of their young population. If this is some undiagnosed disease, I don't see any irganisarkon addressing the often callous and aggressive schedules these people had to endure. And since they use vague terms, it is probably the former and if they keep sweeping this under the carpet isn't this same as ignoring their silent pleas when they were alive and in death, the world would have moved on and forgotten about such desperate individuals and all bad things go unsaid. It is like so normal to them. For me this is abnormal, even if it is natural death.

    • Well said! Super sad that South Korean society didn't take this as a serious problem. Whatever the reason too many of them suicide is their solution to solved the issues and need to be addressed by people specially the government to find better solution other than suicide. Condolences for family, ASTRO, and friends :(

  • Moonbin's an actor too by the way. He was a child actor and was in several dramas (but mostly web dramas). You might recognize him from Moment at Eighteen (the one with Kim Hyanggi and Ong Seongwoo) and he was in Boys Over Flowers as young Song Yijung(Kim Bum's role). This is heartbreaking. He's so young. My deepest condolences and may he rest in peace.

    • A young person who is or was 25 years was found dead.

      And you want to speculate on the reason? Only if you're the investigating police officer or the coroner.

      Condolences to his family and friends. It is such sad news to read.

    • Hmm suicide (this has been confirmed by police) is complex and we'll probably never know the reason(s) why. Though there has been mentions by fans that his mum was a stage mum type and pushed him into the industry as a child actor. Who knows. But the fact that he took his own life near her birthday does give me a bit of pause.
      RIP Moonbin, I dont know him but it's always incredibly sad when someone so young passes on, and the living will never get closure on why they decided to go through with it. Thoughts are with his fam, friends, members and the manager who found him.

  • Looks like it was a suicide, yet another. At this point it is downright criminal how SK government isn't addressing the mental health issues that seem quite prevalent.

    Another young life lost. Such tragedy.

      • @Estef, thanks for directing me back to this thread. I did not know a very simple message of condolence would invite obnoxious lunatic to comment again. She thinks she's playing everybody around and she's a winner. LMAO. She's the definition of idiocy herself. The worst is that, she like what you indicated, has serious mental issues and should seek professional help.

        We all have different taste for drama experience and have our own favs. That's totally fine and everyone should just respect one another for different opinions. We won't cuss, swear, and maliciously pretend some artists' fans just to defame those artists and their fans, regardless of whom we stan. That's the bottom line. But this particular person has gone out of line and doesn't fit in online communication.

        If Koala doesn't do anything about this, I won't visit the site again. I don't lose anything. Shayeli has never gained anything either. Rather, her behavior has some elements coming from the hell and God knows that.

    • @shayeli Xiao Zhan is precious, but I have no problem with Luo Yunxi replacing Moon Bin. Xiao Zhan helps me take the stress out of my busy professional life.

      • Shayeli! Stop pretending you're "Somebody" and you're a fan of Xiao Zhan! People reveal their low IQ by being dim-witted like how you've done on this blog. Watch out for karma in real life!

  • I heard that suicide was only suspected by police and that there was also the possibility of a heart attack? We really shouldn't jump to conclusions until the coroner's report comes out.

  • Yooo Koala, can you do something about the disgusting comments above? Please delete them. Then filter comments with that Xiao Zhan dude's name so you'll have to approve those first before they get publish here or something. I normally don't care, but this is an article about someone's death. No idea why the dude's fans are commenting disgusting sh*t 🤮🤮🤮

    • "Somebody" isn't a fan of Xiao Zhan, a popular Chinese actor/singer. She's a Xiao Zhan anti in disguise. She faked many site visitors' account names and made obnoxious comments to create hate against the artists whom those site visitors like. This kind of behavior isn't new on Chinese social media. We've seen a lot.

      Koala, there're already multiple requests from your site visitors to moderate your forum and even ban the comments from the following visitors:

      Shayeli
      Somebody
      Lol

      You can see all our email addresses and find who's been messing up your comment threads. Please take action. Thanks.

      • Oh thanks for the heads up and I apologize to Xiao Zhan fans, then. They must hate how their fandom is being used for this BS. But yeah, that girl is UNHINGED lmao
