But this isn’t happened for the first time that an idol has took his life or died at a very young age. Earlier, Sulli an actress and former member of f(x), committed suicide at the age of 25. Goo Hara an actress and former member of Kara also committed suicide at the age of 28. Song Yoo Jung, Cha In Ha, Jonghyun the list is so long that it never ends. How long the depression will be taken so lightly and neglected? The pressure to always put their best isn’t working best for the idols. Yet there’s no confirmation on what was the reason of Moonbin’s sudden death. Was it suicide or due to any illness, is yet to be confirmed.
