ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo Stuns with Bold Hair Transformation in Final Pictorial Before Enlistment

Group ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun-woo has unveiled his final pictorial before military enlistment.

On the 21st, Cha Eun-woo’s photoshoot with Esquire was revealed, marking his last official schedule before enlistment.

Partnering with luxury fashion house Saint Laurent for this shoot, Cha Eun-woo made a striking transformation with a short hairstyle, showcasing a fresh and daring charm fans have never seen before.

According to reports, staff from Cha Eun-woo’s agency arrived at the shoot wearing matching shirts printed with the phrase “Clothes for sending (Eun-woo) off to the army” and a childhood photo of Cha Eun-woo, creating a heartfelt atmosphere on set.

In the accompanying interview, Cha Eun-woo shared, “There’s still some time left before enlistment, but today is my last official schedule. It wasn’t until I stepped out of the elevator at the set that I realized the staff had coordinated special T-shirts to see me off. It still doesn’t feel real.”



During the shoot, Cha Eun-woo boldly switched to a short haircut. “Until now, due to various activities and commercials, I couldn’t cut my hair as I wanted,” he revealed. “Since this is my last project before enlistment, I wanted to leave behind a photo with short hair. Plus, since it’s a pictorial, I felt I needed to show a side of myself I hadn’t revealed before.”

Although Cha Eun-woo has enlisted, fans can still look forward to seeing him. “I’ve prepared several projects over the past one to two years so that fans won’t feel my absence,” he assured.

He is set to star in the upcoming film ‘First Ride,’ which tells the story of friendship and youth alongside actors Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Young-seok, and Han Sun-hwa. Additionally, the Netflix series ‘The Wonderfuls’ has completed production and is awaiting release.
