ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun-woo begins his military service today, the 28th, with his enlistment in the Army Military Band.
According to his agency, Fantagio, Cha Eun-woo will enter training camp today and undergo approximately five weeks of basic military training before being assigned to the military band where he will continue his active duty.
Earlier, he received final acceptance notification through his application to the Army Military Band, thus confirming his official enlistment schedule. To prevent congestion and safety accidents at the enlistment location on the day of enlistment, the location and time will be kept private. No separate official events will be held. The agency noted, "We ask for your support and warm encouragement for Cha Eun-woo, who will faithfully fulfill his defense duties and return in good health."
Cha Eun-woo submitted his application to the military band at the end of March, went through an interview, and was accepted. On the 9th, he relayed through his agency, "I am still waiting for the results." About two weeks later, the news of his acceptance was announced, and fans expressed mixed reactions, saying, "I can’t wait to see him in military uniform," and, "I didn’t know he would be leaving so soon," showing both regret and support.
Cha Eun-woo communicated with fans through the fan communication platform Fromus, stating, "Thank you. I have been doing well while meeting people. I miss my fans, Lohas. That’s why I came here." He added, "I know you will miss me a lot, right? It still doesn’t feel real," and urged, "But don’t forget that my album, movie, and drama are all coming out."
The day before, on the 27th, Cha Eun-woo revealed his short haircut via social media, showcasing his impeccable beauty regardless of hair length.
Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo has been actively involved in various fields such as dramas, variety shows, and advertisements until recently, continuously interacting with fans even before his enlistment. In particular, it has become a hot topic that he was frequently referred to while planning the character Jin-woo, the protagonist in the globally popular Netflix series 'K-Pop Demon Hunters.' As Jin-woo's real-life model, Cha Eun-woo has garnered significant attention by performing a cover of 'Soda Pop' in uniform during a recent fan meeting.
