SHINee's Taemin posted a message following the death of ASTRO's Moonbin.

On April 20, Taemin's post on his Instagram story dedicated to Moonbin rose on real-time search engines. After the news of Moonbin's sudden passing, the SHINee member wrote, "I remember you shining on stage. I hope that you're happy where you are and that you're always shining there."

Moonbin was found passed away at his home on April 19 at 8:10PM KST, and it's assumed he took his own life. Taemin's SHINee groupmate Jonghyun was also found to have taken his own life in December of 2017.

If you or someone you know is at risk of self-harm or suicide, seek help as soon as possible by contacting agencies specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention in the United States and overseas.

Incredibly thoughtful of him considering how triggering this must be. He’s experienced this type of loss first hand, and although they weren’t blood related he and Jonghyun were practically brothers. I still remember SHINEE’s early stories about the older members walking Taemin to school to help him with bullies…time really flies.
