K-pop singer Moonbin, known for his participation in the boy band ASTRO, has reportedly passed away at the age of 25.

The singer was found dead at his home in Seoul’s Gangnam district by his manager today (April 19), according to the Seoul Gangnam Police Department (via Yonhap News, as translated by Korean pop culture website Soompi).

“It appears that Munbin committed suicide,” police said in a statement obtained by the agency.

“We are currently discussing the possibility of an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death,” he added.

Moonbin was the older brother of Moon Sua, a member of the K-pop group Billie.

Hours before the news broke, an event in Jakarta, Indonesia that Moonbin was set to attend was cancelled. At the time, the organizer said in a statement on Twitter that the cancellation was due to “unforeseen circumstances beyond our control”.

Moonbin was also scheduled to perform at the Dream Concert in Busan, South Korea next month as part of the ASTRO sub-unit group Moonbin & Sanha.

ASTRO released their third and most recent studio album, ‘Drive To The Starry Road’, last May.

Earlier this year, ASTRO’s Rocky confirmed his departure from the K-pop group.

Their agency, Fantagio Music, explained in a statement at the time that the group would “continue as a five-member group in the future.”
