Last Monday, the 24th, Fantagio, the company responsible for ASTRO, announced the opening of a memorial in front of the agency’s headquarters in honor of moonbina member of the boygroup who passed away last week at the age of 25.
The place was made so that fans can pay their respects and tributes to the idol through flowers, gifts or even letters, and will be open for visitation until April 30th. Read the translation of the full statement below:
“This is Fantagio.
In order to provide a comfortable space for fans who have come a long way, we have prepared an additional memorial space for AROHA to visit in the Fantagio office.
The memorial space can be visited until April 30th, so please use the prepared memorial space.
All letters and gifts left in the memorial space in front of Fantagio’s office will be carefully guarded, and tributes [mensagens escritas em] Paper will be periodically collected and stored during the memorial period so that they can be kept intact and undamaged.
When you arrive at the Fantagio office, there will be staff and a sign to guide you to the specific location. [do espaço do memorial]so please refer to it when visiting the memorial space.
We express our deep gratitude to AROHA who is always with ASTRO.”
In space, the company also asks for the understanding of the press so that they do not film or take photographs of the place, which was specially made so that fans can pay their respects in a comfortable and calm way, respecting their mourning.
In addition to the thousands of messages left by AROHAs, family members, ASTRO members and some close friends of moonbin they also made a point of leaving their messages on the memorial. Check out some below:

“Bin-ah, it’s hyung~
You are the sweetest and nicest boy in the world.
You were the first to run to me when I broke down, and I didn’t even know you broke down too. I’m sorry.
You were always so sweet, kind, working out with me and comforting me, which makes my heart ache.
I will do my best for you.
I will have fun living with ASTRO friends so I can bring you many stories to talk with you, tell me your stories too.
You saw hyung’s mother in heaven, right? She will guide you well, so don’t worry. Let all her worries go away in the world of the Moon, travel happily and be happy.
Thank you and I love you Bin-ah.”

“For. Bin that I miss.
Bin, I miss you. It’s me, Dokyeom hyung.
Rest well. Everyone misses you so much. Bin, are you watching? You are a very good person who deserves to be loved. Whenever I see you laugh, I always smile and you make people happy with your cute smile… We talk to each other a lot about singing… every time you say “hyung~ thank you! I’ll bring it to you and next time we’ll drink it together!” I miss it so much. I really wish I could have helped you… We should have talked more and spent more time together… I keep thinking about these things. I’m sorry that I didn’t hug Bin who had a lot of pain and suffering in his heart. We will always remember you in our hearts and stay healthy during sales.
Also, I sincerely pray for your happiness! So please smile a lot and be happy in heaven. Let’s meet again later! Let’s sing together and smile a lot without any worries! You worked hard.”

“Bin-ah, it’s me, Eunbi. How is it over there? Is it filled with the things you like? I really hope so. We’ve known each other for so long, right? Since we were kids. But even though I’ve known you for 18 years, there were still times when I felt shy and annoyed with you. I am very sorry for not being able to say nice words to you.
I’ve been regretting things, sad, remembering things, and regretful, all of this has been a long time. I think I spent the whole day thinking about you too. I can totally see you up there, thinking I’m unfamiliar, sighing and thinking, ‘ugh, why is she like that?’ So be more understanding with me!
There are really soooo many words I want to say, but I’m going to take my time and tell you little by little. Bin-ah, just like you always asked me, I will take care of Sua and your parents. So don’t worry about anything and just live for your own happiness.
I was so happy and felt so peaceful to be together with you from our childhood days, through our teens and into our 20s. I thought I would grow old with you, until we became grandpas and grandmas. But I’ll be the only one getting older now, it seems. Watch me grow old up there, and laugh at me and tease me all you want! Later, when we meet, we’ll fight and argue as much as we like.
Bin-ah, you were a precious and trusted friend to me, becoming a strength to me just by existing as you. I’m sorry for saying this just now. If anyone asks me who my closest friend was, I can say without hesitation, just as I do now, that it’s you!
My pride, the cool Bin, you are soooo precious! I will visit you a lot. Rest in peace. I’m sorry and I’m sorry again. Know that I love you! Thank you and I love you, you little brat.
