On the evening of April 19, 2023, Moonbin was discovered dead at his house in Seoul’s Gangnam neighbourhood. His management discovered him after he skipped rehearsals.

He was 25. According to a statement made by the Seoul Gangnam Police, who are looking into the death, “it appears that [he] took his own life,” as reported by Yonhap News.

A possible autopsy to ascertain the precise cause of death is currently being discussed. According to CNN’s report from April 20, Gangnam Police, “no signs of foul play have been found related to this case.”
