This is Fantagio.

First of all, we would like to express our apologies for bringing you such heartbreaking news.

On April 19th, Astro member Moonbin suddenly left us and became a star in the sky.

Although it cannot be compared to the grief of the bereaved families who lost their beloved sons and brothers, the Astro members who have been with us for a long time, as well as our Fantagio fellow artists and executives, are deeply mourning the deceased in great sadness and shock.

Our hearts hurt even more to deliver this sudden news to the fans who have supported Moonbin and sent generous love. We are more heartbroken because we know the heart of the deceased, who always loved and thought of his fans more than anyone else.

We earnestly ask you to refrain from speculative and malicious reports so that the bereaved family who are deeply saddened by the sudden sad news can reverently commemorate and greet the deceased.

According to the wishes of the bereaved family, the funeral will be held as quietly as possible with family, friends and company colleagues in attendance.

Once again, we send our deep condolences to the deceased on his final journey.
