Last April 19th, Astro's Moonbin was found dead at his home. As news broke out, the members he spent most of his youth with were left in great shock. Jinjin and Sanha quickly came and guarded the mortuary, Cha Eunwoo went home to Korea from his schedule in the United States, former member Rocky attended the service, and MJ took a leave from the military.
Meanwhile, Moonbin's grieving younger sister, Billlie's Sua, became the sangju or chief mourner, who is responsible for the funeral preparations, leading rituals, and greeting the attendees during the service.
Korean netizens commented:
