From ASTRO to SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi to Stray Kids’ Bang Chan: K-pop idols give tribute to Moonbin with song ‘Memory of the Moon’

The K-pop industry comes together to celebrate idol Moonbin and give a tribute to his memory.

On the 2nd anniversary of Kpop idol Moonbin's death, a myriad of idols and groups came together to give a tribute to the late singer in the form of a song, Memory of the Moon. This included the singer's group Astro at the centre along with his sister Moon Sua of Billlie, Minhyuk, VIVIZ, Kihyun, and I.M of MONSTA X, Hoshi, Wonwoo, Mingyu, DK, and Seungkwan from Seventeen, HELLO GLOOM, Rocky, Choi Yoo Jung, Chani of SF9, Kim Do Yeon, and Bang Chan of Stray Kids.

His groupmate and close friend Cha Eun Woo led this project, played a key role in making this possible, while he, along with the rest of the members of ASTRO, MJ, JinJin, Cha Eun Woo, Sanha, and former member Rocky, penned down the lyrics to the song. The lyrics start with,

When the moon door opens, we'll be standing there. We'll be there. Dreaming of the day we meet again...

Along with the song, there was also a heartfelt music video where all the artists came together and expressed their feelings with the lyrics. Besides this, RM from BTS reshared the track to show his support.
