Never to forget - Moonbin

(This is very personal and kinda just for me. Read if you want.)

Hello Moonbin,

It's been 417 days since you joined the heavens.

Wednesday, April 19, 2023, was a dark day for many, but non-darker than yours.

In my life, there have been many celebrities who have passed away for various reasons, but your passing hit me the hardest.

I found you because of your best friend, Cha Eunwoo. He popped up on my Facebook feed advertising his K-drama "True Beauty."

He got me curious about K-dramas, and being an American, my exposure was limited.

After watching his drama, I learned he was part of a K-pop band, Astro, which led me to you.

You are the reason why I became Aroha. You are the reason why I explored the world of K-pop.

Now that I look back on it, that must have been sooo much pressure for you at your age.

That would be so much pressure for anyone. I applaud you for all of your strength.

I want to say I am sorry, as an Aroha, that I couldn't push for your label to take better care of you.

I hope you can look down from the heavens and see all of the Aroha, including me, who still love you.

Your smile lit up the hearts, souls, and stages around the world, and it still does as you shine on us from above.

You left this world too early, according to many, while I would agree... I wouldn't want you to suffer just to stay.

I still cannot listen to any of Astro's or MoonSan's music without getting emotional.

I am even crying while I write this.

I miss you.

We all do.

I know you are not far.

I know that you keep watch over your family, your bandmates, and Aroha.

Please know that we will all be okay.

You can rest now.

Forever and always,

Your Aroha

💜💜💜
