His music label Fantagio said in a statement on Instagram, Moon Bin “suddenly left us and became a star in the sky.”
“All Astro members, Fantagio colleagues, executives and employees who’ve been together for a long time are deeply mourning the deceased in such great sadness and shock,” the music label said, adding that the sorrow of the star’s bereaved family was “incomparable.” The label also asked people to “refrain from speculative and malicious reports”.
Moon Bin debuted in February 2016. Other members of the group ASTRO include Jinjin, MJ, Cha Eun-woo and Yoon San-ha. He was a child actor in the popular K-drama 'Boys Over Flowers'. Moon Bin's sister Moon Sua is also a K-pop singer, part of the girl group Billlie, the BBC reported.
