Astro’s Cha Eun-woo expressed his longing for the late Moonbin through a heartfelt cover of 10cm’s “Stalker,” which is known among fans as the latter’s favorite song.

Taking a break from his stage clothes, Eun-woo was in a casual ensemble as he uploaded a cover of the Korean singer-songwriter’s track on his official YouTube channel at 2:23 a.m. (Korean Standard Time) of May 30.

It can be noted that the time of the singer-actor’s upload corresponds to Astro’s debut date, which falls on Feb. 23 (2-23).

The singer-actor then showed some behind-the-scenes photos of himself on Instagram, where he can be spotted at a recording studio.

Hours after uploading the cover, Eun-woo also shared glimpses of his favorite memories with Moonbin on Instagram Stories, one of which contained a clip of the latter performing his own rendition of the same song.

A series of Polaroid photos, which appear to be the Astro members enjoying their free time together, can be seen on the “True Beauty” star’s post as well.

“My friend,” he wrote.

The late K-pop artist debuted as the main dancer and lead vocalist of Astro in February 2016. He was also a member of the group’s sub-unit Astro Moonbin & Sanha, alongside his bandmate Sanha.  /ra
