This was confirmed by his music label and South Korean police on Thursday.
According to the information disclosed, the singer was found dead at his home in Southern Seoul late Wednesday, a Spokesperson for the National Police Agency told AFP, adding that there was no evidence of foul play.
However, the Moon Bin’s label, Fantagio Music, also released a statement on Thursday, confirming his death though the cause of his death is yet to be disclosed.
It reads, “On April 19, Astro member, Moon Bin, unexpectedly left our world and became a star in the sky,” it said on Twitter.
Also plead with people to refrain from speculative and malicious reports so that his family can pay their respects and honour him in peace.
The label’s announcement prompted thousands of comments from grieving fans, many expressing disbelief.
It was noted that, Moon Bin joined Fantagio’s trainee programme at an early age and was an actor and child model before debuting with Astro in February 2016.
Prior to his passing, Moonbin & Sanha had been set to perform at the upcoming Dream Concert, one of the largest K-pop joint concerts in South Korea in May.
Rest in Peace Moon Bin!
