This year is for Cha Eunwoo and Kim Eunwoo.”

The production team also actively courted the idol by adding a caption to the scene that said, “Uncle Cha Eunwoo, we must meet.”

On January 30, photos of a young man believed to be the ASTRO member’s brother went viral online.

Fans on X (formerly Twitter) were also taken aback by his looks. Some were surprised by the resemblance between him and Cha Eunwoo, noting, “Usually, celebrity siblings don’t look that great, but he has overturned my expectations.” Others joked, “Wow, we desperately need gene donations from this family.”

Eunwoo’s real name is Lee Dongmin, and he was born in Gunpo, Gyeonggi, South Korea on March 30, 1997. His younger brother, Lee Donghwi, is two years his junior. During a previous appearance on the JTBC variety show Knowing Brothers, Eunwoo was asked what his dongsaeng has been up to. He said, “He completed his military service. He’s working part-time.” However, this particular episode aired nearly three years ago, on April 17, 2021, so Lee Donghwi’s current status remains unknown.

Eunwoo talked about his brother

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’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.

ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo and Sanha Visit Moonbin’s New Memorial Site

Cha Eun Woo and Sanha continue to pay tribute to the late Moonbin. The ASTRO members have visited the “Mermaid Prince” star’s new memorial site in Namhansangseong. The duo would be the first people to see the new space where people can continue to honor Moon Bin’s memory.

ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo and Sanha Visit Moonbin’s New Memorial Site in Namhansanseong

Cha Eun Woo shared new photos and videos on his official Instagram account. The post also features fellow ASTRO member Sanha who seems lost in thought. The idols appear to be at the Namhansanseong Fortress where Moonbin’s new memorial site will be erected.

It’s yet another touching tribute to Moon Bin who passed away on April 19, 2023. It is also clear that Cha Eun Woo, Sanha, and the other members of ASTRO are still dealing with the loss.

On June 4, FANTAGIO confirmed that a new memorial site for Moonbin will be erected this week.

“We fully empathize with AROHA’s wishes to honor Moonbin a while longer,” the statement read. “Therefore, after long and careful discussion with the bereaved family, we have prepared an external memorial space so that AROHA who always send unsparing love can greet Moonbin for a little while longer.”

“Although Moonbin’s religion is not Buddhism, at the request of the bereaved family, we have prepared the “Moon’s Space” at an area in Gukcheongsa Temple at Namhansangseong, and [the memorial place] will run long-term starting from June 7, 2023, at 5:30 a.m. KST.”

“It may be very uncomfortable because the road to Gukcheongsa is uphill and narrow, but we sincerely hope that it becomes a space that AROHA can comfortably visit anytime and feel at least a little soothed and comforted.”

FANTAGIO Cautions AROHAs To Respect Moon Bin’s New Memorial Site

FANTAGIO also asked fans to be mindful of what they leave at the memorial site.

“We would be grateful if you please refrain from leaving food and floral tributes and [only leave] letters and notes,” the statement added.

“We fully understand that they are for Moonbin, but the Buddhist temple is located in the mountains, so it is difficult to preserve them intact due to insects and debris.”

The agency further shared that there is a plan to install a board so fans can attach notes. The letters will be collected regularly and stored properly.

In related news, Cha Eunwoo previously paid tribute to Moonbin by covering his favorite 10cm song.
