Member of K-Pop group ASTRO, Cha Eun Woo, posted a song cover of 10cm’s “Stalker” in honor of his late bandmate, Moonbin, who passed away last month.
“Stalker” was known among AROHA’s (ASTRO’s fandom name) as Moonbin’s favorite song.
Prior to the posting of the video, Cha shared a clip on his Instagram stories of him taking a polaroid photo of Moonbin while the idol is singing the same song he covered with the caption “My friend” – this is followed by the polaroid photos of him and Moonbin during that night.
Moonbin was found dead in his home on April 19 at the age of 25, with initial reports saying he took his own life.
The video, posted on YouTube on May 30 at exactly 2:23 AM (KST), and corresponding with the debut date of the group (February 23), garnered sympathy and made AROHAs emotional:
The song that Bin sang when they were together but this time Eunwoo sang this song w/out Moonbin by his side (physically) & it is dedicated for him 🥺 He must be missing Bin so much 🥺 I do miss him too Nunu 😭😭 wanna hug u right now 🫂🥺 We love you Nunu !! #차은우 #ChaEunWoo pic.twitter.com/WbUOeA0wbS
