Recently enlisted ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo revealed his buzz cut. Recently, a video titled 'I'm off!' was released through Cha Eun-woo's official YouTube channel. In the video, Cha Eun-woo, who is about to enlist, said, 'Tomorrow is D-DAY. I came to get my hair cut.' Following that, after cutting his hair with clippers, he looked at himself and said, 'So this is what the scalp looks like. It's my first time seeing it,' showing a fresh expression. After transforming into a buzz cut, he took a selfie, perhaps feeling a bit lonely. On enlistment day, ASTRO member JinJin, who visited Nonsan to see him off, shared, 'It's a strange feeling. I can't tell if Eun-woo is pretending to be okay or if he really is okay. It's different from when we saw MJ off.' MJ, who has military experience, reacted, 'You have to go. You'll be fine. I'm not worried.' JinJin also expressed concern, saying, 'I'm worried Eun-woo might get hurt while trying hard.' Cha Eun-woo mentioned, 'I had a meal with those who have taken care of me, and many came to Nonsan.' He added, 'From now on, I will live as an ordinary person, Lee Dong-min, for a year and a half, not as celebrity Cha Eun-woo. I'm anxious and still don't understand well, but I will go, hoping to avoid injuries both physically and mentally.'
