Eunwoo was speaking about the song he wrote titled Where Am I, to honour Moonbin, when he poured his heart out. Fighting back tears, Eunwoo admitted, “It was a very difficult year for me, personally. I wrote this lyrics for this album. I really wanted to do it. It’s in my heart.”

“I wrote it while crying. This time, I still can’t sing the song,” he added. Speaking about the aftermath of Moonbin’s death, Eunwoo said, “I felt so guilty. When I eat, I wonder if it’s okay to eat or if it’s worth sleeping. It comes out from time to time, it comes out often.”

“He comes out in my dreams sometimes, often. The dreams are rather varied. Sometimes we’re at the gym, sometimes we’re in the recording studio. It differs from time to time,” Eunwoo said.

Eunwoo also sent a message to Moonbin. He said, “Bin-ah.. How are you? I miss you. I will do my role well including your part.. so don’t worry. See you again.”

Eunwoo shared a close bond with Moonbin. Following his death, the K-pop idol had penned a letter in his memory. In the letter, he left at the memorial site, Eunwoo wrote, “Bin, I miss you tonight, you bad guy. I came with Sanha while on a stroll. Why do I miss and regret all the things that we did together that I took for granted, even the very little things?… I hope you are hundreds of times happier where you are. Don’t worry about what you left behind because I’ll take responsibility and take care of them. You did so well. I love you, and I am sorry, friend.”
