First and foremost, we would like to express our apology for delivering unfortunate and heartbreaking news.

We sincerely ask that everyone refrain from making speculative or malicious reports so that the bereaved families, who are sad by the sudden tragic news, can commemorate and say their goodbyes to the deceased.

Following the wishes of the bereaved families, the funeral will be held as quietly as possible, with only family, friends, and company colleagues attending.

Once again, we express our deepest condolences on the last journey of the deceased.”

Growing concerns about idols debuting at a young age and dealing with stress have been serious issues.

Debuting at a young age has been a concern because it widely affects idols’ mental and physical health.

  • Sulli was a famous K-pop girl group f(x) member. She is widely renowned for rebelling against the conservative K-pop society. She died on October 14 2019, due to huge backlash and hateful comments online. Maybe she has been strong for too long.
  • SHINee singer, best known by his stage name, Jonghyun — revealed the depth of his struggles with depression before he died Monday. He shared his depression issues through his suicide letter.

The team of Otakusmart pays its condolences to Moonbins’s family.

We hope he rests in peace.
