K-POP star,\u00a0Moonbin has been found dead in his apartment at the age of 25, South Korean police have said.<\/p>\n

His manager found him dead at his home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul at 8.10 pm on Tuesday evening, April 18, YonHapNews Television reported.<\/p>\n

The singer, actor, dancer and model was best known as a member of boy band\u00a0Astro\u00a0and its sub-unit\u00a0Moonbin\u00a0and Sanha.<\/p>\n

He is believed to have been found after he did not turn up for rehearsals.<\/p>\n

Born named\u00a0Moon Bin, he was part of the original lineup for\u00a0Astro, debuting with five other singers in 2016.<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s hits included Candy Sugar Pop, All Night, Crazy Sexy Cool and Blue Flame.<\/p>\n

Astro\u2019s record label Fantagio Music, in a statement that was also shared on the band\u2019s Instagram, said: \u2018On April 19th,\u00a0Astro\u00a0member\u00a0Moonbin\u00a0suddenly left us and became a star in the sky.
\n\u2018Although it cannot be compared to the grief of the bereaved families who lost their beloved sons and brothers, the Astro\u00a0members who have been with us for a long time, as well as our Fantagio fellow artists and executives, are deeply mourning the deceased in great sadness and shock.<\/p>\n

\u2018It is even more heartbreaking to deliver the sudden news to the fans who have supported\u00a0Moonbin\u00a0and sent him generous love.<\/p>\n

\u2018I am more heartbroken because I know the heart of the deceased who always loved and thought of his fans more than anyone else.\u2019<\/p>\n

They added that the funeral would be held quietly with his friends, family and colleagues attending.<\/p>\n

Moonbin\u00a0was also the older brother of K-pop girl group star Moon Sua, of Billie.<\/p>\n

He went on hiatus in 2019 for health-related reasons but returned in 2020 to appear again with the group.<\/p>\n

Alongside fellow Astro star Sanha, he released the new album Incense on January 4, and the duo were due to perform in Macau on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
