ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo is preparing for a special time with fans as he is likely to enlist in the Army's military band in July. He plans to participate in the fourth solo concert 'The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy]' alongside ASTRO members on June 7 and 8 at Incheon Inspire Arena.
A representative from the agency Fantagio noted on the 9th, "Cha Eun-woo has applied for the Army's military band and has undergone an interview. He is currently waiting for the results as the acceptance announcement has not yet been made." If accepted, he is scheduled to enlist in July, but the exact date is undecided.
This concert marks ASTRO's first solo performance in three years, and all members, including former member Rocky, will reunite for a complete stage. Particularly, this performance prepared in memory of the late Moonbin is expected to be an even more meaningful time for fans. The concert poster features a white butterfly symbolizing Moonbin, stirring emotions among fans.
Cha Eun-woo is particularly known to have suggested, 'Let’s do this before time passes,' showing his intention to create precious memories with fans. He recently released his solo album 'ENTITY' and held his first solo fan concert '2024 Just One Ten Minute [Mystery Elevator].' During the performance, he said, 'I became inspired and worked hard to prepare this fan concert. I wanted to show more stages, so I prepared a fan concert instead of just a fan meeting,' emphasizing communication with fans. Additionally, he was seen shedding tears at the end of the performance due to overwhelming emotions.
Fans have expressed their excitement for the concert, saying things like, 'I’m glad to see a complete stage before Eun-woo enlists,' 'Moonbin must be watching from the sky,' and 'I expect this stage to be a tribute to Moonbin.'
Given this, ASTRO's concert is likely to be the last complete stage before Cha Eun-woo's enlistment, drawing significant attention from fans. To celebrate their 9th anniversary, ASTRO has released a special single 'Twilight' and continues to engage with fans through various content. The fourth solo concert 'The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy]' will be held at Incheon Inspire Arena at 5 p.m. on June 7 and at 4 p.m. on June 8.
