K-Pop star Moon Bin recently passed away on April 19 at the age of 25. His cause of death has not been disclosed but he was discovered dead inside his residence in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The singer, a member of the South Korean boy band Astro and the brother of Moon Sua, a member of the girl group Billie, was discovered unresponsive by his manager, who then immediately notified the authorities.

The event was supposed to take place on May 13, 2023, but the organizers have now announced that it has been canceled. They issued a statement that mentioned:

"After long discussion and consideration, we have to cancel this event due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control that we could not avoid."
