Moon Bin Funeral: BILLIE Sua Cancels Schedules To Be Chief Mourner, ASTRO Members Attend Wake

Moon Sua is taking a break from promotions for her family. The BILLLIE rapper will serve as chief mourner at the funeral of her brother Moon Bin. In line with this, the girl group has cancelled or postponed their schedules for the rest of the week. Meanwhile, the remaining ASTRO members are attending Moonbin’s wake.

BILLLIE Cancels Schedules In Support of Moon Sua’s Family

BILLLIE’s agency Mystic River issued a statement on the group’s official fan cafe. “We notify you of the cancellation and/or postponement of all schedules planned for this week,” it read.

“In the case of the fan sign events, we plan to notify you of rescheduled dates and further details in a subsequent statement, and in the case of all other broadcast appearance schedules, we also intend on uploading separate notices soon,” it continues.

The statement does not indicate the reason for the cancellation or postponement, but it doesn’t need to. A previous report reveals Sua’s brother Moon Bin passed away on April 19, 2023. Since then, multiple reports confirm that the BILLLIE rapper will serve as chief mourner at her brother’s funeral.

Moon Sua is the younger sister of ASTRO member Moon Bin who was found dead in his home in Gangnam on April 19. She debuted with BILLLIE in November 2021.

In related news, the remaining members of ASTRO are attending Moonbin’s wake. Leader JinJin and maknae Sanha were the first to arrive at the site. Eldest member MJ, who has enlisted for military service, requested an emergency leave to support Moon Bin’s family. Finally, Cha Eun Woo is reportedly flying back to Seoul and will attend the funeral.

Moon Bin started out as a child model appearing in the TVXQ music video for their song “Balloons.” He made his acting debut in 2009’s “Boys Over Flowers” playing the young So Yi Jung. Moonbin debuted as a member of ASTRO in 2016.
