K-pop star Moonbin has passed away at the age of 25. According to his music label Fantagio, the South Korean singer was found dead at his home in Seoul on Wednesday. The cause of death was not mentioned in the announcement.
Moonbin “unexpectedly left our world and became a star in the sky,” Fantagio wrote on Twitter. The 25-year-old was a member of boy band Astro and was also part of a group called Moonbin & Sanha. He worked as a dancer and model before debuting with Astro in 2016.
Several other young K-pop stars have died in recent years, with suicide cited or suspected as the cause in several cases. In 2017, for example, the 27-year-old frontman of the boy band Shinee, Kim Jong Hyun, took his own life. In 2019, 25-year-old singer Sulli died after becoming a victim of online bullying.
K-Pop musicians are usually selected by agencies as teenagers and trained for their careers. They are subjected to rigorous and strictly regulated training in music and dance. (sda/afp)
