Fantagio continued by introducing a message sent by Moonbin's mother.
"The following is a message delivered by Moon Bin's mother, and the notice will be posted only for a certain period so that AROHA can use the fan cafe, a precious space, with a little comfort."
Her letter, delivered by the agency, began with:
"Hello, I'm Bin's mother. First of all, I was comforted by the letters, flowers, and many sincerity of the fans who visited [Moonbin’s memorial spaces] despite the long travel. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I also hope that fans will be with a lot of comfort and health as well."
As she thanked fans for commemorating her son, Moonbin's mother started addressing the unfortunate and groundless rumors about the idol written in online communities.
"The reason why I wrote this, even though I know everyone remembers and misses my son, was because I saw that some minority communities produce indiscriminate rumors."
She expressed her true feelings, adding:
"From a mother's point of view, it's hard to see these rumors, and I'm also worried that many people will be damaged by these false rumors including the fans who sincerely miss my son."
Moonbin's mom revealed her special request, saying:
"I hope that my son will not become the fodder for gossip and I sincerely ask that no more unconfirmed facts and rumors will be produced.
I hope that the fans whom Bin loved so much don't live in pain. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
