On April 19, “Moon” will be dropped, a heartfelt tribute song for the late Moonbin of ASTRO — but not everyone’s feeling that way. While many fans are embracing the project as a beautiful way to honor him, others are raising eyebrows over the timing and intentions.

The song features an all-star lineup, including ASTRO, MONSTA X, SEVENTEEN, VIVIZ, Stray Kids, and even Moonbin’s sister Moon Sua from Billlie. Fantagio, ASTRO’s agency, says the tribute is about love. But guess what? A viral post from an ASTRO stan dragged the project:
아로하는 이런거 해달라고 한 적도 없고 오히려 싫어라고 질색팔색하는 일인데 멤버들이 나서서 할줄은 몰랐다. 너네 연예인이잖아. 연예인이 직업이면 팬들 눈치도 좀 봐야하는거 아니니. 막말로 장사라도 잘 하고싶으면 눈치좀 봐봐 이게 뭐니

“Moonbin is still not in their sight, and the members are just caught up in their own emotions and come up with things like this for their own good. Do you feel more at ease doing this? But even if that is, that is a problem,” the post reads.
Still, the majority of fans clapped back at the negativity. Many pointed out that Moon Sua’s involvement in the project proves it’s genuine and that fans and artists have the right to remember and celebrate Moonbin.
