On April 19, 2023, multiple South Korean outlets reported that Moonbin, a member of the K-pop boy group ASTRO, had passed away at the age of 25. According to a Koreaboo report, he was found dead in his apartment in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Citing a report by Yonhap News TV, it was stated that police officials believed that Moonbin took his own life, and they were considering conducting an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Moonbin had recently made a comeback with the ASTRO unit group featuring Sanha, and they were scheduled to host a fan con tour. However, the organizers have issued a statement cancelling the event due to unforeseen circumstances beyond their control. Moonbin's agency, Fantagio, has not yet released any statement regarding his passing.
Moonbin had a successful career in the entertainment industry as a singer and actor. He made his debut as an ASTRO member on February 23, 2016, and was also part of its first subunit, Moonbin & Sanha, which debuted on September 14, 2020. He also acted in popular K-dramas, such as "Boys Over Flowers," where he played the younger version of actor Kim Bum's character.
