Cha Eun-woo applies to the Army Band… was the concert to keep a promise made to late Moon-bin, preparing for enlistment?
As Astro member Cha Eun-woo's application to the Army Band became known, his recent activities have come under renewed scrutiny.
His agency, Fantagio, reported on the 9th, 'Cha Eun-woo has applied to the Army Band and has taken an interview. The results are still pending as the acceptance announcement has not been made yet.' If accepted, he is expected to enlist in July.
Particularly, in April, former member Rocky, who had left ASTK, shared news of joining the Astro concert, while Cha Eun-woo suggested, 'Let’s hold the concert that Bin wanted to do before time passes by,' showing his intention to keep the promise made to late Moon-bin. Member Rocky also told fans, 'While preparing, I really miss Bin. It feels heavy in my heart, but rather than just feeling heavy, it seems there is more happiness,' and remarked, 'Eun-woo suggested we hold the concert that Bin wanted to do before time passes. What more needs to be said? We must do it.'
These activities resonate with fans, bringing special meaning. Cha Eun-woo's application to the Army Band and concert planning are interpreted not merely as activities but as a sincere choice to uphold a promise to a fellow member.
Fans expressed their emotions with reactions like, 'Thank you for fulfilling Bin's dream,' 'I can feel Eun-woo's sincerity,' and 'Astro will always be the six of us.' Especially with Cha Eun-woo’s upcoming enlistment, this concert holds even more special significance for fans.
Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo is currently busy filming the Netflix series 'The Wonderfulls,' and Astro's fourth solo concert 'The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy]' will take place at Incheon Inspire Arena on June 7 at 5 p.m. and June 8 at 4 p.m.
