ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo has released his last gravure before enlistment. In a shoot with the French luxury brand 'Yves Saint Laurent,' he changed to a short hairstyle and showcased a new charm that he had never shown before. On this day, the staff from Cha Eun-woo's agency wore matching T-shirts with the phrase 'the clothes he will wear when he enlists' and a printed childhood photo of him. This was the same design that Yoon San-ha had posted on his Instagram at the end of July. In an interview, Cha Eun-woo said, 'There is still a little time until enlistment, but today is the last as an official schedule,' and added, 'When I arrived at the shooting location and got off the elevator, I noticed that the staff wore matching T-shirts as a farewell gesture. I still can't feel it.' He also mentioned, 'I have had various activities like advertisements and couldn't freely cut my hair, so I wanted to leave photos with short hair since this is my last job. Since it's a gravure shoot, I want to show a bold side that I haven't shown before.' Furthermore, he said, 'The gravure shoot with 'Yves Saint Laurent' is more enjoyable,' and expressed interest in how to portray unique outfits like thigh-high boots and calf-length leather coats in the gravure. Cha Eun-woo revealed that he has been planning and preparing works to ensure fans won't feel his absence during the 1-2 years, including the movie 'First Ride,' which depicts friendship and youth episodes with co-stars like Kang Ha-neul, Kim Young-kwang, Kang Yong-seok, and former Secret member Sonna. He also finished production on the Netflix series 'The Wonderfools,' where he plays a somewhat socially low fundamentalist civil servant, which is set to be released soon. The September 2025 issue of 'Esquire,' featuring Cha Eun-woo on the cover and pages, will be available in Korean bookstores from August 21 and can also be viewed on the 'Esquire Korea' website.
