Moonbin was born in Cheongju, North Chungcheong, South Korea on January 26, 1998. Public records list Moonbin as a singer, actor and dancer. Death is recorded on April 19, 2023, at the age of 25.
My Take
Moonbin is an artist I cannot write about without a heavy heart. A child performer from Cheongju who grew into a singer, dancer, and actor with Astro and the duo Moonbin and Sanha, he poured genuine effort into every discipline he touched. His passing in 2023, far too young, was devastating to fans worldwide. What I keep returning to is not technical flash but the sincerity of his stage presence, the sense that he gave everything every time. That earnestness is what made him beloved, and it is why his performances will keep dancing in people's memories for a long time to come.
