Cha Eunwoo is officially on enlistment watch. On May 9, 2025, the ASTRO star and actor sat for an interview with the Republic of Korea Army’s military band unit, hoping to swap red carpets for a bugle and uniform. His agency, Fantagio, confirmed his attendance but emphasized that nothing has been confirmed yet—the results drop on May 29 on the Military Manpower Administration site.
If accepted, Cha Eunwoo will kick off basic training in July 2025 and serve 18 months in the Army’s music squad, wrapping things up around January 2027. As the actor waits for the start of his military era, he’s still slaying his screen game—Cha Eunwoo’s filming Netflix’s “The Wonder Fools” and will make an appearance in “First Ride” as Yeon Min. Who says you can’t multitask your way into the army?
Fans are feeling all the feels—proud, sad, and waiting to see when he’ll enlist. Interestingly, His powerful role in “Wonderful World” reminded us that he isn’t just a pretty idol face—he’s evolved into a serious and respected actor. So while the uniform might cover the glitz, his star power isn’t going anywhere.
