Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
I first met Moonbin on the 14th of June 2016. I was relatively new to K-pop and wanted to start with a group just as new as me. I remember looking at the photos of the new groups I could get interested in. But I really remember Astro, specifically Moonbin. He just drew me in. His smile and the way he acted and behaved. During the summer of 2018 I abandoned Astro. My friends thought it was lame and they didn’t like it. I remember seeing alerts in my phone that Moonbin was live all the time. And I never clicked on.
I regret that now more than ever.
I bumped into him again during quarantine. When I watched his lives I realised how much I missed him and Astro. Throughout the loneliness of quarantine, Astro and Moonbin were there for me. They made me feel like I had someone to rely on a friend. When I came back from the gym tonight and opened my phone I never expected to hear that Moonbin had died. I thought it was a joke. Some fake news spread by a fake fan to get attention. So when I went on instagram to see that post on the Astro page. I was shocked. My thoughts went to his group mates and his family. I was devastated.
I want to end this by thanking my moonbeam for all that he has done for me. He made me feel important. He was always guiding me and lighting the way. He helped me shine like he did and always will. Moonbin is no longer physically with us. But we will always have the memories of him and that is just as good.
rest in peace my moonbeam and shine like you always have.
