Regarding the release date of the new Netflix series 'Wonderfools' starring ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo, a related party commented. On the 11th, a Netflix representative told OSEN, 'Only that 'Wonderfools' is scheduled to be released in the second quarter of this year has been decided, and it has not been confirmed that the release date is May 15.' They clarified, 'Discussions about the release date are still ongoing.' On the same day, a Korean media outlet reported that 'Wonderfools' would be released on May 15, unrelated to the controversy surrounding Cha Eun-woo, but Netflix immediately denied this, stating, 'This is not true.' 'Wonderfools' is a comedic action adventure where a group of seemingly capable but somewhat clueless townspeople accidentally gain superpowers in 1999, fighting against villains threatening the peace of Hae-song City. Directed by Yoo In-sik, known for the drama 'Extraordinary Attorney Woo,' and written by Ho Da-jun, who adapted the film 'Extreme Job.' Park Eun-bin plays Eun Che-ni, who unexpectedly gains superpowers after being involved in an unforeseen incident, while Cha Eun-woo plays Lee Eun-jung, a special civil servant in Hae-song City who investigates a series of disappearances. Prior to this, it was revealed that Cha Eun-woo received a tax notification for 20 billion won (about 20 million yen) after being investigated by the Seoul Regional Tax Office last year. In response, Cha Eun-woo requested a review of the tax assessment and is awaiting results. His agency also stated they will actively explain following the procedures.
