Moon Sua of K-pop girl group BILLLIE will be taking a break from her scheduled individual and group activities due to health reasons. 

On Tuesday, September 12, Billie’s agency Mystic Story released a statement about the idol’s condition. 

According to the label, Moon Sua needs “sufficient rest and stability for the time being.” However, Mystic Story didn’t provide additional details about the artist’s welfare.  

Then, the agency apologized to fans for the inconvenience caused by the sudden news. They also assured fans that they’re doing their best to help their artists improve their well-being.

With the recent hiatus announcement, Mystic Story shared that BILLLIE will continue promotions as a five-member group for the time being. Only Haram, Haruna, Sheon, Siyoon, and Tsuki will participate in the group’s activities. 

Additionally, Moon Sua’s hiatus came two months after fellow BILLLIE member Suhyeon announced her own hiatus. Suhyeon also halted activities to focus on recovery. 

Fans show support for Moon Sua

This isn’t the first time for Moon Sua to take a break from activities in 2023. 

Following the passing of her older brother, ASTRO’s Moon Bin in April, she also halted her activities as she was the chief mourner at the time. Her group, BILLIE, also canceled all of their activities for that week before Mystic Story announced that the group’s comeback promotions had been cut short and their upcoming schedules will push through without Moon Sua. 

During her earlier hiatus, she was absent on the group’s promotions for the album the Billage of perception: chapter three, as well as the group’s Japanese debut.

In June, she resumed her activities and returned to host Show Champion. 

With the announcement of her second hiatus for this year, fans took to social media to show their support for Moon Sua. Most of the replies and comments were the fans’ telling the idol to “get well soon,” and  “come back stronger.”

BILLLIE’s Sua Breaks Silence on Late Brother Moonbin’s Passing

Moon Sua has finally broken her silence. The BILLLIE rapper has shared a new post on social media more than a month after her brother’s passing. Sua’s latest post pays tribute to the late ASTRO member Moonbin on his 49th day of passing.

Moon Sua Breaks Silence on Moonbin’s 49th Day of Passing

Moon Sua has kept her silence since April 20, a day after her brother Moonbin passed away in his home in Gangnam. The BILLLIE member also went into hiatus, choosing not to promote with the rest of the group.

As of June 7, Moon Sua returned to her personal Instagram account. She posted a brief black-and-white video featuring herself and Moon Bin practicing together.

“As rumored, Mr. Door-Frame-Moon’s backside was as broad as a door frame and warm,” Sua wrote. “I should’ve climbed on it some more when I had the chance.”

“Next time I see you, give me more rides,” she continued. “My dearest, one and only brother. Still, always, and forever, I’ll love you on and on. Don’t be sick, be healthy, eat your meals, and be happy.”

Moon Sua’s post coincides with Moonbin’s 49th day of passing. On the same day, a new memorial space for the “Mermaid Prince” actor was opened at Gukcheongsa Buddhist Temple. Fellow ASTRO members Cha Eun Woo and Sanha were the first to visit the memorial site before it opened at Namhansangseong.

Moonbin’s younger sister had previously left a letter at his memorial space set up in front of the FANTAGIO building.

“Oppa, it’s me, your one and only precious sister Sua,” she wrote. “I came to visit (the memorial) too. I cried so much so I’m going to stop crying now. I’ll smile more now. I’m going to do what I want to and be happy. So, I hope you are going to be happy there. Please watch over your sister, if I’m doing well or now.”

Moon Sua served as chief mourner at her brother’s funeral. It has not yet been confirmed whether she will resume activities with BILLLIE.

Moon Sua Will Not Participate In BILLLIE’s Japanese Promotions

Moon Sua continues to be on an indefinite hiatus. The BILLLIE rapper will not participate in the group’s Japanese promotions this month.

BILLLIE’s Agency Announces Moon Sua’s Absence in Upcoming Promotions

Mystic Story issued a statement confirming Moon Sua’s absence in BILLLIE’s upcoming promotions.

“We are announcing that Moon Sua will not participate in the scheduled Japanese album promotions with the May 17 release of the Japanese debut album as the starting point,” the statement read.

“The promotion schedules will run with six members Haram, Haruna, Sheon, Siyoon, Suhyeon, and Tsuki,” it continued.

The announcement comes only weeks after Mystic Story confirmed that Moon Sua is taking time off from BILLLIE following the death of her brother.

On April 19, Sua’s older brother Moon Bin was found dead in his apartment in Gangnam. The ASTRO singer’s passing shocked the world and proved to be difficult for his younger sister. Sua served as chief mourner at Moonbin’s funeral which was attended by his fellow ASTRO members and close friends.

Moon Sua also penned a heartfelt letter which she left at Moonbin’s memorial space.

“Oppa, it’s me, your one and only precious sister Sua,” she wrote. “I came to visit (the memorial) too. I cried so much so I’m going to stop crying now. I’ll smile more now. I’m going to do what I want to and be happy. So, I hope you are going to be happy there. Please watch over your sister, if I’m doing well or now.”

Sua continued, “I’ll live diligently for your sake too. Don’t stop me. Still, if things get hard, I’ll come to you to vent out so you have to comfort me. You’ve worked so hard until now. I love you so much and I’ll forever be your younger sister. Moon siblings forever.”

For now, it is unclear how long Moon Sua will be on hiatus. Nevertheless, fans understand that the BILLLIE rapper needs time to grieve for her brother. Sua will also require some time for reflection and will hopefully return in the future.

BILLLIE will release their first Japanese single “GingaMingaYo (the strange world) – Japanese ver.” on May 17, 2023.

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.
