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.
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.
I just miss you so much.
I love you.
Happy Moonbin Day 💜

— Eunwoo

In addition to the cover, Eunwoo shared a post on Instagram featuring images of him and Moonbin alongside the other members of ASTRO. He also appears to have visited Moonbin, leaving some of his favorite snacks.

Happy birthday, Moonbin!
