His death was confirmed on Thursday by his music label, Fantagio, in a brief statement to fans.
“He has suddenly left us and became a star in the sky. All Astro members, Fantagio colleagues, executives, and employees who’ve been together for a long time are deeply mourning the deceased in such great sadness and shock,” the music label said.
The star was found dead in his home in southern Seoul by his manager at around 8:10 p.m., Wednesday night, according to an official at Gangnam police station.
