To honour Moonbin, Cha Eun-woo shared a carousel of pictures and a video on Instagram. The snaps capture some priceless moments between Cha Eun-woo, Moonbin and the other ASTRO members. Cha Eun-woo even visited Moonbin's grave and left his favourite snacks for his friend.
The last slide was an emotional tribute to Moonbin. Cha Eun-woo sang a cover of Shin Seung Hun‘s 1994 hit song After A Long Time. No, we are not crying you are.
Cha Eun-woo's side note read, “Happy birthday miss you.” Take a look.
Cha Eun-woo also uploaded the cover of After A Long Time on his YouTube channel. He penned an emotional note for Moonbin in the caption.
The message read, “Happy birthday, Binnie. How are you doing? Lately, I miss you even more than usual. There are so many things I want to talk about over a drink with you, but I have no one to lean on now. I'm sorry I haven't been able to visit you as often as I did last year. The more I think of you, the harder I push myself to keep working, because that's what you wanted, right? But now, I think it's starting to get a bit overwhelming. Haha, I don't know. Am I doing well? Your absence feels especially heavy these days, my friend.”
ASTRO's lead vocalist Yoon San-ha recalled the good days spent with Moonbin on his birth anniversary. He uploaded a carousel of postcards from the group's fun outings. Moonbin's sweet smile and goofy gestures stole the show in every frame.
“Happy birthday big bro miss you a lot,” captioned Yoon San-ha.
