The saddening and untimely news of ASTRO’s Moonbin passing away on April 19 has come as a shock to the entire Kpop industry and its fan following. Recognised as one of the brightest stars in the South Korean music industry, he was presently promoting as part of his group’s sub-unit with fellow member Sanha. More details of the news can be read here.
His bandmates MJ and Cha Eunwoo will also be returning back to attend their member’s wake. The former is taking an emergency leave from military to do so, while the latter immediately flew back to Korea from his US schedules in Los Angeles. Other Kpop artists have also mourned the shocking revelation, with the majority of the industry postponing or cancelling the ongoing Kpop schedules to mourn his passing. Some broadcasts on the other hand will continue as planned, with some changes along the way.
Here’s the list of events, fan signs and other schedules that have been cancelled or postponed in mourning of the 25-year-old singer.
