Devastated by the interview of the late Moonbin while he was still alive

While everyone is in despair over Astro Moonbin's sudden death, interviews from his lifetime are being reexamined.

The late Moonbin was asked in a Cosmopolitan Korea pictorial interview in September last year, "Mr. Moonbin, you are truly an angel, so if you could do one good thing, what would it be?" At that time, Moonbin appears to have been asked this question while shooting a pictorial with the 'fallen angel' concept.

Moonbin said, "I want to give another chance to people who have ended their lives. In fact, we don't know when and where and what will happen, but we don't always think about death. Just happy thoughts like what to eat today or what to wear tomorrow. He also responded, “It’s so sad and such a waste to say that one day is not enough to end one’s own life.”

Moonbin was found dead at his home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul around 8:10 pm on the 19th. Age 25. Police believe he committed suicide.

The funeral was set up at Asan Medical Center in Songpa-gu, Seoul. The funeral is on the 22nd. According to the agency Fantagio, in accordance with the wishes of the bereaved family, the funeral will be held as quietly as possible with only family friends and co-workers in attendance. It is known that Moon Soo-ah, a colleague in the entertainment industry and younger sister, has her name listed on the funeral home and is guarding the funeral home.
