“Hold my hand, I'll be that somebody when you need it.”

Actress and The Ark’s member Lee Su-Ji paid tribute to the late Moonbin.

On April 24th, Lee Su-Ji posted a photo together with Moonbin and a long message on her Instagram account. Lee Su-Ji is known to have had a special friendship with Moonbin as both were born in 1998. The group photo showed the other members of the ‘98z’ group, including Moonbin, Na Ung-Jae, Boo Seung-Kwan, Lee Su-Ji, Umji and SinB. All of them smiled broadly, portraying a cheerful vibe.

'98z' appeared on Naver Now and 'Avengers’ who were well known for their friendship in the entertainment industry. As one of the members of ‘98z’, Lee Su-Ji expressed her grief in a heartfelt message on Instagram.

The following is the full text of Lee Su-Ji's Instagram post:

I have so much to say.

I always wanted to say so much and now I wish I had had the courage to say it before.

Thank you for being with us at our most beautiful age.

Thank you for coming as a gift to us, a gift too beautiful and precious to open.

As you said, you are truly the coolest person in this world. That's right. It was an honor to meet you.

Hold my hand, I'll be that somebody when you need it

If one of our songs was ever of any comfort to you, then that is a relief. And I am sorry I could not be that somebody to hold your hand for you when you needed it. 

I wanted to let you know that your songs gave me a breath of fresh air and allowed me to dream. You were a ray of light to me and all of us. I am so grateful we have songs to remember each other by 


I now dream a new dream through you. 

The darkness will be enlightened with your rays of light.

I am now not afraid of anything as I have become stronger and sturdy.

I will help those who have fallen, hold hands and walk together for those alone and help those who have lost their dreams to dream again.

You will watch over me from heaven and say, “yes that’s right Su-Ji!” and I will continue to make you proud. Let’s meet again, as family. 

At least I know you will be enjoying the freedom and comfort up there in heaven, which is a relief to me.

It is good here even to be able to experience a fraction of heaven but aren’t you lucky to have it all up there in heaven.

I will not waste my time nor be afraid anymore. I will run until the end of this world and try my best for you always. May you rest in peace.


By the way, even though you will not worry, we will take good care of your family. They will be crowded with new sons and daughters it will be ever so crowded ;)


Bin, I love you so much. Thank you so much and I miss you a lot.

Let’s meet again. Thank you for being our friend.
