The short clip shows Cha Eunwoo in a completely different light. With dramatic cinematography, subtle gestures, and haunting expressions, the ASTRO member is giving fans mystery and emotion. At one point, he covers his face with his hands (revealing a rugged look with a leather jacket and makeup resembling wounds), adding a new dramatic edge to his image.
Cha Eunwoo has been serving in the Army Band since his enlistment in July, making “ELSE” the perfect gift for fans as they wait for his return. It also marks his first EP since “ENTITY” in 2023. In addition, the idol also made moves in acting, with his film The First Ride premiering on October 29 and a Netflix series titled The Wonder Fools on the way. Mark your calendars: “ELSE” officially drops on November 21.
