I would like to start today’s post again with my deepest condolences and sympathies to Moonbin’s family, ASTRO and AROHA for the loss of Moonbin. I am still quite shocked and speechless on his sudden passing. I always enjoyed his presence as part of ASTRO and his performances were always top notch. Looking back now, his contribution to KPOP has been wide spread, especially with the collaborative performances he has been a part of that always showed off his professionalism and skills. He will definitely be missed. May Moonbin rest in peace.
Regarding the blog, I hit pause on posting reviews during the last few days following the news to take some time to process it. In addition, I personally did not think it was right to be posting during such a sad time. However today, I am restarting the blog once again, beginning with the usual Weekly KPOP charts post.
