ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo's handsome looks distracted a mother while seeing her son off for military service. Instead of taking photos of her son, the mother doubled as a Cha Eun Woo fan site. The story went viral, leaving netizens in fits of laughter.
Cha Eun Woo officially began his mandatory military service on Monday July 28, 2025. He was accompanied by fellow K-Pop group ASTRO members JinJin, Sanha, Rocky, and MJ. Also in attendance was his close friend, actress-idol Choi Yoo Jung, from the same agency.
According to a report from Cha Eun Woo's agency, Fantagio, the Korean drama star, True Beauty, will undergo basic military training before serving as a member of the Army military band. The day before his departure, Cha Eun Woo held a live broadcast to say goodbye to fans.
"It's crazy to think this day has finally come. This is the shortest my hair has been since I was 2 or 3 years old. I'll be back healthy. I wish you all success in everything you do," Cha Eun Woo said. Photos of Cha Eun Woo entering military camp are now circulating. Fans can see "POV DAY 1 Cha Eun Woo enlists."
He is gathered with several South Korean men about to begin basic training, blending in with the shaved haircut he showed off during a live broadcast. The story of a mother who was distracted by Cha Eun Woo's charm while taking her child to military camp also went viral. His star aura is undeniable.
Cha Eun Woo stood out among the crowd of bald men. The mother admitted that she initially intended to take a photo of her son. However, she ended up taking the 28-year-old actor-idol instead. The photo was shared on a community forum specifically for parents of military personnel on the search engine Naver.
The mother's confession made netizens laugh. Furthermore, she suddenly wrote an apology to her son, feeling guilty for being distracted by Cha Eun Woo's whereabouts. "I was trying to find my son, who suddenly disappeared from sight, and when I tried to find him again, Cha Eun Woo suddenly appeared in the camera lens.
I'm sorry, son," the mother wrote in her viral post. The mother's post has been widely commented on by netizens who find it relatable and can't blame her for suddenly losing focus on Cha Eun Woo. Another anonymous source even admitted to losing focus while seeing off his brother for his military service.
"I bet her son isn't clearly visible either..." commented a netizen on a Korean community forum. "He (Cha Eun Woo) shines even more among everyone with a shaved head," said a netizen. "It took me so long to find my brother... but I was able to find Cha Eun Woo in an instant," said another netizen, who experienced the same thing as the mother.
