Cha Eun-woo, beloved member of ASTRO and acclaimed K-drama star, officially began his mandatory military service — but it wasn’t just a somber farewell. The enlistment site at Nonsan Army Training Center on July 28 quickly turned into a fan frenzy, and even the mothers of fellow recruits couldn’t resist his star power.
One now-viral post from the scene hilariously confessed, “I lost sight of my son for a second, then spotted Cha Eun-woo right in the camera frame. Sorry, son.” Accompanied by candid photos, the post showed Cha Eun-woo standing among other recruits, yet somehow still managing to look like a movie star. Despite the standardized military haircut, his flawless visuals remained unmistakable.
Online reactions poured in, ranging from admiration to light-hearted envy. Comments included:
- “Even with a buzz cut, Cha Eun-woo is still Cha Eun-woo,”
- “Moms came to take pictures of their sons but ended up with Eun-woo on their phones,”
- “Even if my own son were there, I’d probably only see Cha Eun-woo.”
Cha Eun-woo didn’t go alone. ASTRO members, including Yoon Sanha, and labelmate Choi Yoojung came to see him off. Yoon Sanha even wore a shirt that read: “Clothes you wear when sending someone to the military,” adding a sweet, humorous touch that resonated with fans.
Cha Eun-woo will undergo his basic training at Nonsan before serving in the Army Military Band. His choice to fulfill active-duty service has drawn praise, and his appearance at the training center has already become one of the most buzzworthy enlistments of 2025.
