“This had me tearing up”: ASTRO’s Moonbin’s fans react to his personal Instagram account being converted into a memorialized account

On May 10, ASTRO’s Moonbin’s personal Instagram account was memorialized by Instagram Korea. This means now that the account will always be treasured in public memory and show the words "Remembrance" in the profile description. The Perfumer singer tragically passed away on April 19 at 8:10 pm KST at his residence in Gangnam, Seoul, and was discovered by his manager. The police reportedly ruled out the possibility of murder and declared it a case of unfortunate suicide.

Fantagio shortly confirmed the news reports of his death and requested fans not to fall for malicious or speculative reports and let his shocked family and friends grieve his death in peace.

Since then, his family, bandmates, friends, and legions of fans across the world have paid him their deepest condolences either through handwritten notes, heartfelt letters, recollecting their personal memories with him, or setting up a memorial to mourn his death. Now, almost a month after his tragic demise, Instagram Korea has immortalized his personal account.
