Sungkwang of SEVENTEEN commemorated his late friend Moonbin of ASTRO on the 3rd anniversary of his death with a song. Yesterday (19th), at Incheon Inspire Arena, the first solo tour 'DxS [Serenade] ON STAGE - INCHEON' featuring SEVENTEEN's Dokyeom and Sungkwang was held. On this day, marking three years since Moonbin's passing, Sungkwang sang 'Dandelion,' a song he created in memory of Moonbin, during his solo stage as a tribute. After the performance, Sungkwang, showing tears, said about the stage of 'Dandelion,' 'This is a song I wrote for Bin, whom I loved very much,' and revealed, 'Coincidentally, today is the anniversary of my friend Bin's death. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.' He further expressed, 'I wanted you to remember me as much as possible,' and conveyed his feelings, saying he believes Moonbin is watching over him. Sungkwang previously mentioned in a YouTube channel why he loves 'Dandelion,' saying, 'A dear friend took a picture of a dandelion flower and posted it with a message, which resonated deeply with me, and that's when I started writing the song 'Dandelion.' Since then, dandelions have become a keyword for me.' He added, 'I had never seen dandelion fluff flying before, but after seeing that message and writing 'Dandelion,' I started to notice them while driving or singing at concerts. They are a very important flower to me.' Moonbin passed away on April 19, 2023, at the age of 25.
