Late ASTRO member Moonbin's mother asked netizens to stop spreading rumors.

On June 13, Fantagio posted a message from Moonbin's mother. She wrote:

"Hello, this is Bin's mother.

Firstly, I received a lot of comfort from the sincerity of fans who, despite a long distance to travel, came all the way to the memorial spaces, wrote heartfelt letters, and brought flowers. Truly, I sincerely thank you. I hope all the fans find comfort and stay in good health.

The reason I'm writing this letter is because, though I know everyone is mourning and grieving my son, I've seen there are baseless rumors starting in a portion of online communities.

These kinds of rumors are so hard for me to see as a mother, and I'm also worried that many people will suffer damages and fans who are grieving for my son might be heartbroken because of these false rumors.

I don't want my son to become fodder for gossip, and I entreat you to please not start any more rumors or spread unconfirmed facts.

I don't want the fans who Bin loved so dearly to live with broken hearts. I sincerely thank all of you for your heartfelt mourning."

In related news, Moonbin was found passed away in his apartment this past April.
