Right on May 10, 2023, Instagram Korea has designated ASTRO's late Moonbin's Instagram account, @moon_ko_ng, as a memorialized account or memorial account. For Instagram users, Moonbin 's Instagram account will now display the words " remembering " at the bottom of the profile if accessed using a cellphone.
After accessing Moonbin's account page, users will see a message saying, "This account has been enshrined in memory of the late Moonbin. An enshrined kun is a space dedicated to remembering the life of the deceased and finding peace." When an Instagram account turns into a memorial account, no one can log into that account. In addition, other users cannot send messages or direct messages to that account.
Not only that, all uploads to that account will also be secured and will not be deleted without a time limit. Moonbin fans admit that they were very sad when their idol's Instagram account turned into a memorial account. The fans also affixed various heart-wrenching comments. " I will probably still continue to visit your Instagram account.
I watch your videos and ASTRO members on YouTube almost every day. I can tell that they love you very much. Be happy up there. You are with God now. " One fan wrote. " Your Instagram account has become a memorial account, Moonbin. Now it's even more painful to watch. "Wrote another fan. " Every time I see her smiling face, my heart aches.
Moonbin, you will always be loved and missed. I wish you to always be surrounded by love, happiness, and peace, and rest until you are reunited with the people you love. " Moonbin is not the first K-Pop idol whose account has been used as a memorial account. Previously, there were SHINee's Jonghyun, f(x)'s Sulli, and KARA's Goo Hara whose Instagram accounts were also changed to memorial accounts.
Fans who still miss their idols keep visiting these accounts to remember them. ASTRO's Moonbin passed away on April 19, 2023 at the age of 25. The news of Moonbin's departure shocked many. His funeral was held on April 22 in private and only attended by his family and those closest to him.
