ASTRO Moonbin's Family Held Funeral Procession Privately
Although the memorial space is open to the public, Moonbin's funeral procession on Saturday only allowed the late idol's bereaved loved ones and close friends.
The family requested to have private time as they sent him off to his resting place.
Fantagio previously asked the public to respect the mourners' privacy as they wish to hold it quietly. ASTRO members JinJin and Sanha initially looked over Moonbin's wake, while Cha Eun Woo immediately returned to South Korea from the US upon hearing the news.
Meanwhile, MJ — who is serving in the military — received approval to be on leave and visited Moonbin's wake.
