'Face genius' ASTRO Cha Eun-woo has started his military service, showcasing his overwhelming visual even with a shaved head, capturing the scene of his enlistment ceremony. In particular, Cha Eun-woo captivated even the parents of other trainees, becoming 'Aah Cha Cha' that surpassed 'Choi Choi Cha Cha'.
On the 28th, Cha Eun-woo began his defense duty upon entering the training center. The day before his enlistment, on the 27th, he conducted a YouTube live broadcast and revealed his short hair for the first time.
Cha Eun-woo noted, "I also find it amazing. It feels strange when I look in the mirror. I feel a bit of reality now that I've cut my hair. I think it's the shortest it's been since I was 2 or 3 years old," sharing his thoughts on his shaved appearance. Despite the extremely short hair that revealed his scalp, Cha Eun-woo still showcased his dazzling visuals as a 'face genius,' impressing fans. The quip, "I didn't realize my head was shaped like this," elicited laughter.
Regarding his enlistment feelings, Cha Eun-woo expressed, "I still don't feel real. Since I have to go anyway, I'll go and have fun, look good, and stay healthy." He added, "I'm grateful for having shared my 20s, my life's first act, with you, and looking back before I go, I feel a complex mixture of emotions. I think I've lived intensely and passionately," as he bid farewell to fans.
Cha Eun-woo, who passed the Army Band audition, is expected to serve as an active-duty soldier after receiving basic military training. His 'face genius' visuals shined even during enlistment. Family members of ASTRO members, including Choi Yoo-jung from the same agency, came to see him off, and Cha Eun-woo was spotted standing alongside other trainees during the ceremony. Dressed neatly in a white T-shirt, he exuded a unique presence despite his shaved hairstyle.
However, his shining visuals inadvertently became a 'nuisance.' The cameras of parents who came to support their sons' military life found their focus on Cha Eun-woo. Online communities and social media were flooded with reviews and confirmation shots from citizens who spotted him. In particular, the testimony that "Even if I couldn't find my son, I spotted Cha Eun-woo at a glance and took a confirmation shot" elicited laughter.
As a result, a delightful situation unfolded where a new term, "A son is a son, Cha Eun-woo is Cha Eun-woo," emerged, surpassing the existing meme "A favorite is a favorite, Cha Eun-woo is Cha Eun-woo."
Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo is set to release the Netflix series 'The Wonderfulls' and the movie 'First Ride.' With these works, Cha Eun-woo is expected to fill his military hiatus to some extent and eagerly awaits the day he will meet fans with an even more mature appearance.
