ASTRO Cha Eun Woo Tackles Rural Life In ‘Rented In Finland’ Teaser

tvN’s upcoming variety show “Rented in Finland” has dropped an enticing new teaser, giving viewers a glimpse into the refreshing yet challenging journey of four city actors—Lee Je Hoon, Lee Dong Hwi, ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo, and Kwak Dong Yeon—as they dive into the rustic lifestyle of Lapland, Finland.

‘Rented in Finland’ Teaser Features 4 Actors Tackling Rural Life

The series follows the quartet as they experience the simplicity and unpredictability of rural life, far removed from their usual fast-paced urban environments. The teaser showcases the stunning landscapes of Lapland, with vast forests, serene lakes, and snow-covered fields providing a beautiful backdrop for the actors’ adventures.

As the group begins their immersion into this rugged setting, they quickly realize that their new “home” lacks many of the basic conveniences they’re accustomed to, like indoor plumbing and electricity. This unfamiliar environment pushes each actor to step outside their comfort zone, navigating daily challenges such as chopping wood for warmth, gathering water from a natural spring, and cooking meals over an open fire.

In one humorous scene, Lee Je Hoon is seen twerking energetically, much to the amusement of his co-stars. Another playful moment features Cha Eun Woo striking a “sexy” pose in wet clothes, only to be teased by Lee Dong Hwi for his attempt to look glamorous in such a rustic setting. These light-hearted interactions reveal a camaraderie that grows as the actors bond over shared struggles and silly antics, showing a side of themselves that city life rarely allows.

What to Expect in ‘Rented in Finland’

The teaser also hints at more profound, heartwarming moments as they connect with the locals and learn to appreciate the simple pleasures of rural living. Watching these actors tackle everything from laundry to firewood, viewers can anticipate a blend of comedy, culture shock, and personal growth as they adapt to this rugged lifestyle. The journey is expected to bring a sense of healing, not only for the actors but also for viewers who can vicariously experience the tranquility and beauty of Finland’s countryside.

“Rented in Finland” also promises a mix of laughter, unexpected challenges, and a newfound appreciation for rural life, capturing the genuine chemistry and humor between the four stars. Fans are also eagerly waiting to see these city dwellers navigate the Finnish wilderness and share memorable moments in this unique environment.

Netizens aren’t the only ones who were bowled over by Lee Donghwi’s charm. Even the ASTRO members acknowledged his good looks. Once, the late Moonbin talked about attending the same school as Eunwoo. He recalled, “When I was a high school sophomore, Eunwoo and I transferred to the same school. He was already really popular among trainees, but he was amazingly popular in school as well. It was always very easy to find him, because there were always loud screams where he was.”

Most importantly, Moonbin also shared that Eunwoo’s younger brother is as good-looking as he is. “Eunwoo has a younger brother, and he’s really good-looking as well. His face is smaller than Eunwoo’s.”

Cha Eun Woo Opens Up About Unique Kissing Scene In New Drama

Cha Eun Woo is making a comeback on the small screen with the upcoming drama “A Good Day to Be a Dog”. Interestingly, the ASTRO member revealed that there were unusual preparations for the show which features a unique kissing scene.

Cha Eun Woo Reveals Unique Kissing Scene in ‘A Good Day to Be a Dog’

On October 11, the MBC FM4U radio show “Two O’Clock Date with JaeJae” hosted the lead cast of MBC’s upcoming drama “A Good Day to Be a Dog” as special guests. The primary cast is composed of Park Gyu Young, Cha Eun Woo, and Lee Hyun Woo.

During the radio broadcast, a curious listener inquired about the on-screen dynamics between the actors and the real canine co-star in the series. Park Gyu Young said, “Since, in the scenario, my character turns into a dog, when it comes to talking about chemistry, I think Eunwoo will have a lot to say.”

That’s when Cha Eun Woo opened up about working with a furry co-star. “I actually had to film a genuine kissing scene with a dog,” he said. The idol then pointed out that working with a dog was not as easy as it sounds.

“The puppy was adorable, but it just wouldn’t focus. It wouldn’t even kiss me,” Cha said. He also admitted that he had to take extra measures to ensure the dog would work with him.

“To initiate the kissing scene, I had to apply ‘Churu’ – a pet snack – on my mouth to coax it to kiss (lick my lips),” Cha said.

“A Good Day to Be a Dog” is the latest MBC drama featuring Cha Eun Woo. It is an adaptation of the popular Naver webtoon written by Lee Hye. The story revolves around a woman cursed to transform into a dog whenever she kisses someone and a man with an irrational fear of dogs who, ironically, holds the sole known remedy to break the enchantment.

Cha Eun Woo Discusses Taking On ‘A Good Day To Be A Dog’ Role

MBC’s highly anticipated drama, “A Good Day to Be a Dog,” has unveiled more tantalizing stills showcasing Cha Eun Woo’s remarkable transformation into the character Jin Seo Won. These fresh images vividly portray Cha Eun Woo’s change in appearance as he takes on the role of a math teacher.

ASTRO Member Cha Eun Woo Transforms Into A Math Teacher in New ‘A Good Day To Be a Dog’ Stills

Cha Eun Woo’s clean-cut style and demeanor impeccably embody the essence of a dedicated educator. In these snapshots, he authentically captures the essence of a teacher, from his posture—crossing his arms thoughtfully while observing his students—to his presence in front of the chalkboard, donning a pair of glasses that add an intellectual touch to his character.

The attention to detail in Cha Eun Woo’s portrayal of Jin Seo Won promises an engaging and immersive experience for viewers as they witness his compelling transformation into a math teacher, elevating the anticipation surrounding this drama even further.

Although his character is terrified of puppies, Cha Eun Woo explains that he is the opposite.

“Personally, I like dogs, and I thought that the subject of turning into a dog when kissed is interesting and exciting, so I chose [this project]. I think this unique topic is our drama’s charm,” he said.

Cha Eun Woo Confirms His Love For Math

He further pointed out that Jin Seo Won isn’t necessarily a bad guy for hating canines. Cha Eun Woo said, “He is a character who appears cold on the outside due to his fear of dogs stemming from childhood trauma, but he is a warmhearted character.”

He continued, “I like math, and [my character’s] job is a math teacher in the drama, so I wanted to express this in a more fun and three-dimensional manner.”

“A Good Day to Be a Dog” unfolds as an enchanting fantasy romance drama that revolves around Han Hae Na (played by Park Gyu Young). Her life takes an extraordinary twist when she is cursed to undergo a transformation into a canine every time she shares a kiss with a man. However, the complexity deepens as the only individual capable of breaking this peculiar curse is her co-worker, Jin Seo Won, portrayed by ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo. The catch is that Seo Won harbors a profound fear of dogs, stemming from a traumatic incident buried in his past, now lost in his memory. The series will premiere on October 11, 2023.
