The True Beauty actor shared a special message for Moonbin on his birthday as he sang a cover of Shin Seung Hun‘s After A Long Time. He uploaded the cover on his personal YouTube channel and wrote a heartfelt message for the late singer in the caption of the video where he wished him a very happy birthday and expressed how much he missed him.

He wrote, “Happy birthday, Binnie. How are you doing? Lately, I miss you even more than usual. There are so many things I want to talk about over a drink with you, but I have no one to lean on now.” He continued, “I’m sorry I haven’t been able to visit you as often as I did last year. The more I think of you, the harder I push myself to keep working, because that’s what you wanted, right? But now, I think it’s starting to get a bit overwhelming. Haha, I don’t know. Am I doing well? Your absence feels especially heavy these days, my friend,” as reported by Koreaboo.

He concluded his note with, “I just miss you so much. I love you. Happy Moonbin Day,” along with a purple heart.

In addition to the song cover, he also took to Instagram to share multiple pictures which featured him, Moonbin and other members of the ASTRO. The pictures also revealed that Eunwoo visited his fellow group member and left him his favourite snacks.
