Cha Eun Woo and Sanha continue to pay tribute to the late Moonbin. The ASTRO members have visited the “Mermaid Prince” star’s new memorial site in Namhansangseong. The duo would be the first people to see the new space where people can continue to honor Moon Bin’s memory.

ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo and Sanha Visit Moonbin’s New Memorial Site in Namhansanseong

Cha Eun Woo shared new photos and videos on his official Instagram account. The post also features fellow ASTRO member Sanha who seems lost in thought. The idols appear to be at the Namhansanseong Fortress where Moonbin’s new memorial site will be erected.

It’s yet another touching tribute to Moon Bin who passed away on April 19, 2023. It is also clear that Cha Eun Woo, Sanha, and the other members of ASTRO are still dealing with the loss.

On June 4, FANTAGIO confirmed that a new memorial site for Moonbin will be erected this week.

“We fully empathize with AROHA’s wishes to honor Moonbin a while longer,” the statement read. “Therefore, after long and careful discussion with the bereaved family, we have prepared an external memorial space so that AROHA who always send unsparing love can greet Moonbin for a little while longer.”

“Although Moonbin’s religion is not Buddhism, at the request of the bereaved family, we have prepared the “Moon’s Space” at an area in Gukcheongsa Temple at Namhansangseong, and [the memorial place] will run long-term starting from June 7, 2023, at 5:30 a.m. KST.”

“It may be very uncomfortable because the road to Gukcheongsa is uphill and narrow, but we sincerely hope that it becomes a space that AROHA can comfortably visit anytime and feel at least a little soothed and comforted.”

FANTAGIO also asked fans to be mindful of what they leave at the memorial site.

“We would be grateful if you please refrain from leaving food and floral tributes and [only leave] letters and notes,” the statement added.

“We fully understand that they are for Moonbin, but the Buddhist temple is located in the mountains, so it is difficult to preserve them intact due to insects and debris.”

The agency further shared that there is a plan to install a board so fans can attach notes. The letters will be collected regularly and stored properly.
