Cha Eun Woo: 6 Reasons We Love this Idol Actor

He is the face of the current Korean Wave!

After debuting as an actor in the 2014 film, “My Brilliant Life,” Cha Eun Woo made his official idol debut with ASTRO in the 2016 web series “To Be Continued.” Since that show, we have been following him religiously to this day. Eun Woo’s handsome appearance has earned him the title of “face genius,” while his musical skills are incomparable! There are countless reasons why Cha Eun Woo is loved across the world, but let’s try to narrow it down to six important ones.

The 24-year-old is a gifted singer and dancer.

Every K-pop fan knows that the boy band ASTRO is filled with heartthrobs. Moonbin, Sanha MJ, JinJin and Rocky are precious, but many K-drama viewers may only be introduced to the “One” singers through Cha Eun Woo. Since 2016, he has shown the world his versatile music talent with two studio albums, “All Light” and “All Yours,” and a trail of EPs like “Blue Flame,” and “Gateway.” We are always anxious to hear his solo tracks on K-drama original soundtracks.
