Cha Eunwoo of ASTRO shared a touching tribute to his late bandmate Moonbin on what would have been his 27th birthday, January 26th. The tribute included a heartfelt message and a special musical offering.
Moonbin’s passing in April 2023 deeply affected his fellow ASTRO members and fans worldwide. Since then, they have consistently honored his memory. This birthday tribute from Cha Eunwoo is another testament to the strong bond they shared.
A Musical Gift and a Touching Message
Early on Moonbin’s birthday, Cha Eunwoo uploaded a cover of Shin Seung Hun’s “After A Long Time” on his personal YouTube channel. This song served as a poignant backdrop for his deeply personal message to Moonbin.
In the video’s caption, Eunwoo expressed his longing for his friend:
“Happy birthday, Binnie.
How are you doing?
Lately, I miss you even more than usual.
There are so many things I want to talk about over a drink with you, but I have no one to lean on now.
I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you as often as I did last year.
The more I think of you, the harder I push myself to keep working, because that’s what you wanted, right?
But now, I think it’s starting to get a bit overwhelming. Haha, I don’t know.
Am I doing well?
Your absence feels especially heavy these days, my friend.
I just miss you so much.
I love you.
Happy Moonbin Day 💜”
This message reveals the depth of Eunwoo’s grief and the void left by Moonbin’s absence. He speaks of missing their conversations, feeling overwhelmed, and questioning if he is doing well without his friend’s support.
Shared Memories on Instagram
Eunwoo also shared a series of photos on his Instagram account. The pictures featured moments of him and Moonbin together, alongside other ASTRO members, capturing their shared history and close relationship. It appears Eunwoo also visited Moonbin’s memorial space, leaving some of his favorite snacks. These actions further demonstrate the continued love and remembrance for Moonbin.
The posts on both platforms offer a glimpse into the enduring impact Moonbin had on those around him, especially Cha Eunwoo. The combination of music, personal message, and shared photos creates a moving tribute to a beloved artist and friend.
