📰 T2 by The Telegraph: ‘K-star in spotlight: Why we are gushing anew over Cha Eunwoo’

“Cha Eunwoo is a renowned figure in the world of Korean entertainment known for his impeccable looks and versatile talents. As a member of the K-pop group ASTRO and an actor in beloved K-dramas like 'True Beauty' and 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty,' he has captured audiences worldwide. His recent role as Lee Unjeong in Netflix's fantasy K-drama 'The WONDERfools' showcases his ability to portray complex characters with unique supernatural powers. This performance has endeared him to a new generation of fans who admire his portrayal of both strength and vulnerability.

From his powerful musical performances as a member of K-pop group ASTRO to lead portrayals in multiple classic K-dramas like True Beauty and My ID is Gangnam Beauty, Cha Eunwoo is a name everyone has encountered, whether they are into Korean entertainment or not.

While his popularity is unmatched by most K-pop and K-drama personalities, he was, at least till a few months ago, not so closely relatable to the teen K-pop enthusiasts of today, his most popular roles and releases mostly having come out before the Instagram feed became the ultimate celebrity ranking tool.

However, his lead portrayal of Lee Unjeong, a supernaturally endowed civil worker in Netflix's fantasy K-drama The WONDERfools has completely turned the tables, and now every K-pop and K-drama newbie is simply gushing over the actor and singer.

In The WONDERfools, Eunwoo plays a quiet, lonesome man who hides his supernatural abilities of telekinesis (the ability to move objects by mind control) from the world, until he meets an eccentric bunch of townspeople who discover similar supernatural capabilities after a fake-kidnapping spree gone wrong.

As the episodes progress, Eunwoo takes on the role of their coach and teaches them how to control their powers, while also leading their fight against a group led by a greedy scientist who has a mass mutation planned for humanity. Thrilling, right?

The one who makes the thrilling ride a treat for the eyes as well, is Cha Eunwoo. Nerdy round glasses, officecore formals and hair brushing his forehead in bangs, Cha Eunwoo's staple look in The WONDERfools screams "boyfriend material".

His restrained expressions, calm intonation and powerful silences make the character unique and captivating, and his portrayal of Unjeong's sincere love towards Eun Chaeni, the female lead, is heartwarming to the core.

The new-age Hallyu riders have finally discovered the OG K-drama hero. Be right back, we are rewatching True Beauty tonight!”

📰 Tatler: Cha Eunwoo’s Must Watch K-Dramas

South Korea's television landscape has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past decade, driven by the global expansion of streaming platforms and the growing demand for storytelling across a wider range of genres. At the heart of this transformation has been the growing prominence of performers who have successfully bridged the worlds of music and mainstream television.

One of the key figures in this movement is #CHAEUNWOO, whose career path reflects the industry's evolution. After rising to prominence through romantic comedy dramas adapted from popular webtoons, his acting career has expanded into psychological thrillers and high-concept science fiction.

Throughout his career, he has established himself as both a singer and a leading actor in mainstream Korean television. His early roles often saw him portraying idealized characters in youth-oriented series, helping him build a global audience.

In recent years, he has increasingly embraced complex roles across a wider variety of genres. His strategic shift across different television genres reflects his determination to build a sustainable, long-term acting career in South Korea's highly competitive entertainment industry.

1. The WONDERfools (2026)

Cha Eunwoo stars as Lee Unjeong, a quiet and disciplined civil servant who secretly possesses telekinetic powers. He is assigned to supervise three outcasts who accidentally acquire superhuman abilities after being exposed to toxic wastewater from a secret laboratory. His character carries deep emotional scars stemming from a laboratory explosion that he unintentionally caused during an uncontrollable emotional outburst. The series follows his journey as he works to protect his neighborhood from escalating threats while confronting the guilt and unresolved emotions that continue to weigh on him.

The role further expands Eunwoo's work into action-comedy and high-concept science fiction.

2. Wonderful World (2024)

The actor delivers a restrained yet powerful performance as a young man shaped by deep emotional trauma, caught in a dark and emotionally charged story of revenge. Cha Eunwoo portrays Kwon Seonyul, a mysterious young man born into a wealthy family who ends up living a harsh and unstable life after losing his parents. Living on the margins of society, he exists in a blurred space between victim and perpetrator.

The role required a raw yet restrained performance, relying on subtle facial expressions to convey deep emotional trauma, suppressed anger, and sorrow rather than lengthy dialogue. Critics widely regarded the project as an important turning point in his acting career, praising his technical skills and his ability to hold his own alongside veteran actors in emotionally demanding scenes.

3. A Good Day to Be a Dog (2023–2024)

He returns to fantasy romance, balancing humor and vulnerability in his portrayal of a high school teacher who secretly struggles with an intense fear of dogs. Cha Eunwoo plays teacher Jin Seowon. However, Seowon's severe cynophobia, rooted in childhood trauma that he has carefully concealed from those around him, becomes the story's central obstacle.

Blending romantic comedy with fantasy and emotional healing, the series further showcases Eunwoo's versatility within the genre.

4. True Beauty (2020–2021)

The coming-of-age drama that propelled him to global fame sees Cha Eunwoo play Lee Suho, a brilliant yet emotionally distant high school student hiding deep emotional scars.

As Lee Suho, Eunwoo portrays a compassionate classmate who is the first to see Lim Jukyung beyond her appearance. The role required a careful balance between Suho's reserved exterior and the emotional vulnerability that gradually emerges as he confronts his family's past. The drama significantly raised Cha Eunwoo's international profile and became a defining role in the early stage of his acting career.

📰 [Blue Dragon Ranking] 'No. 1 Best Actor of the Second Half of 2025' Cha Eunwoo Continues to Expand His Spectrum Amid Fans' Unwavering Love and Support

“Cha Eunwoo, who claimed the throne in the Blue Dragon Best Actor Ranking this past May, had previously demonstrated his immense power by winning the No. 1 spot in the overall Best Actor ranking for the second half of 2025 as well. At the time, Cha Eunwoo took home the trophy with an overwhelming 58.65% approval rating, securing 13,428 votes. The final vote for the second half of the year compiles stars who climbed to the throne each month from July to December as its primary nominees. While the competition is inevitably fierce, Cha Eunwoo confidently claimed the crown, leaving other top stars comfortably behind amid the fervent backing and support of his fans.

What exactly is the secret to Cha Eunwoo's popularity? His warm personality and diligence, which are rare in the entertainment industry, alongside an unwavering spirit of challenge that refuses to settle, are the elements that make him shine even brighter. Consequently, those who have worked with Cha Eunwoo consistently praise him in unison.

He received critical acclaim for his portrayal of Kwon Seonyul in the 2024 drama *Wonderful World*, a character who endures a harsh life after losing his parents, prompting responses such as, "Is that really Cha Eunwoo?"

That is not all. Cha Eunwoo is also well known for the genuine, human side he routinely shows to his fans. Consequently, despite his hiatus due to military service, his fandom has remained as steadfast as ever.

This immense power was proven once again during the voting this past May. In the Blue Dragon Ranking vote for the Best Actor category in May, Cha Eunwoo recorded a historic approval rating of 72.38% [...]. This milestone was created as the yearning and supportive hearts of fans missing Cha Eunwoo—who cannot be seen due to his time in the military—accumulated more and more.

Cha Eunwoo recently met global viewers through the Netflix original series *The WONDERfools*. In *The WONDERfools*, Cha Eunwoo took on the role of Lee Unjeong, a character with superpowers. Unjeong uses telekinesis to move objects at will, but is a clumsy and endearing character who suffers a minor yet cute side effect: a nosebleed every time he uses his powers. Immediately after its release... industry insiders and viewers alike expressed admiration and surprise at Cha Eunwoo's performance.

In this manner, Cha Eunwoo is firmly establishing himself as an ever-evolving actor who continuously expands his acting spectrum. Although one year remains until his military discharge, there seems to be no such thing as a "military hiatus" for him. This is because the unyielding and passionate love of his fans is not something that cools down easily.

The first-place trophy delivered to Cha Eunwoo's agency, Fantagio, this past February.”

📰 ‘The WONDERfools’ was featured in a Sports Seoul article highlighting how recent Korean hero stories now bring heroes down to earth. The show portrays them as imperfect, relatable everyday people who struggle with daily life yet still step up, creating deep empathy with the audience.

“The Wonderfools, starring Park Eunbin and Cha Eunwoo, is also far from a story about flawless heroes. Set against the apocalyptic backdrop of 1999, a group of clumsy neighborhood locals unexpectedly acquire superpowers and go head-to-head with villains. What matters here is less about the ‘superpowers’ and more about their identity as ‘neighborhood clutzes’. They possess abilities but are clumsy; they have a sense of duty but are full of flaws. Rather than the birth of a grand hero, it plays out as an action-comedy about people who stumble into powers and awkwardly fumble their way into finding their roles.”

[💬] Regarding the casting of Cha Eunwoo for the role of the mysterious 'Lee Unjeong', Director Yoo Inshik explained that he envisioned Eunwoo as the ideal actor to embody the character's mysterious aura, mystical vibe, and fairytale-like image:

“The mystery and mystique surrounding Lee Unjeong's character serve as a massive driving force that propels the early part of the story. Because he is an actor who could perfectly fulfill the sense of mystery and fairytale-like vibe I wanted, I sent him a love call in the absolute hope that he would join the project”.

It is said that the director personally extended the offer to him directly, and Cha Eunwoo accepted.

He also shared a meticulous production detail: “The glasses Unjeong wears act as a device similar to Superman's glasses. I wanted to create a sense of thrill at the moment of his awakening when he throws them off, so we picked them with great care. It’s a visual style we finalized after having Cha Eunwoo try on about 100 different pairs of glasses”.

“We talked a great deal during the preparation process”, the director continued. “Lee Unjeong is not an easy character to play. He appears calm on the outside, but carries a heavy and dark backstory within...”

📊 CHA EUNWOO ranks #21 on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity list for 2026

#21 #CHAEUNWOO

“Even while serving in the military, Cha Eunwoo has maintained a powerful influence by continuing his activities without a pause. His film The First Ride, released last October, drew approximately 740,000 viewers, showcasing his solid filmography across both dramas and films. In November of last year, he released his solo mini-album ELSE, further expanding his musical spectrum. Concurrently, he continues to excel as a global ambassador and muse for major fashion and beauty brands.”

— Cha Eunwoo is a prime example of robust IP expansion:

“He has successfully expanded from an idol into an actor, as well as a fashion and lifestyle icon. What stands out is his strategic approach to his career. In the past, military service inevitably created a noticeable hiatus in a celebrity's presence, but times have changed. Before enlisting, Cha Eunwoo pre-recorded and prepared movies, dramas, albums, and brand campaigns to be released sequentially. This ensured that the flow of his career remained uninterrupted, meaning that even during his 'military hiatus,' the public feels no gap at all.”

— Cha Eunwoo ranked #3 in the Fandom Voting category:

“Securing 3rd place with 69,762 votes, Cha Eunwoo boasts a remarkably dedicated fandom. It consists of highly loyal core fans who have supported both his group activities and his solo endeavors. Furthermore, his lead role in the global hit drama True Beauty (2020–2021) captured the hearts of international fans spanning Asia, the US, Europe, and South America. To maintain this connection, Cha Eunwoo utilizes 'fromm'—a private messaging platform dedicated to global fans—where he shares glimpses of his daily life and engages in direct communication with fans both at home and abroad.”

This marks his 4th entry on the list:

📰 Cha Eunwoo in ‘The WONDERfools’, An Absolutely Irreplaceable Fresh Charm

Actor Cha Eunwoo has once again proven his undeniable value. In the series, he appears at every key moment, leaving a strong impression and driving its global success. By maximizing his signature fresh, pure charm while naturally handling action sequences and emotional performances, he has expanded his acting range even further.

The Netflix series The WONDERfools, released on the 15th, tells the story of four ordinary residents of Haeseong City who unexpectedly gain superpowers at the end of 1999. It follows their struggle against villains threatening the town’s peace after acquiring their abilities. In its second week of release (May 18–24), it recorded 7.9 million views (total watch time divided by the series’ total runtime) and ranked No. 2 on the Global Top 10 TV Shows (Non-English) chart.

Cha Eunwoo plays Lee Unjeong, a character with telekinetic powers. He is one of the survivors of the "Wunderkinder Project," an experiment that created people with superpowers. In the present, he lives as a civil servant in Haeseong City. He convincingly portrays a man carrying a heavy past through his sorrowful eyes and detached demeanor. Even the scene of him smoking a cigarette while wearing a tank top in his room feels naturally compelling thanks to his unique aura.

Above all, Cha Eunwoo’s greatest strength is his irreplaceable atmosphere. It is rare to find an actor who can simultaneously convey boyish charm, decadent appeal, pure freshness, and melancholy. His ability to dominate cool scenes not through dialogue but through his eyes and facial expressions is a weapon unique to him.

In particular, whenever Eun Chaeni, who gained immortality after a childhood heart transplant, faces mortal danger, Lee Unjeong appears to save her — evoking classic hero narratives. He gradually opens his heart to Chaeni, who calls him “Master,” and ultimately risks everything, even his life, to protect her. This pure-hearted aspect further maximizes the character’s appeal.

Some viewers criticized the romance between Unjeong and Chaeni as “unnecessary.” However, it is Cha Eunwoo who ultimately makes it convincing. Rather than over-emphasizing the emotions, he naturally conveys the shift in their relationship through subtle expressions, atmosphere, and eye acting alone.

With this project, Cha Eunwoo has demonstrated an even broader acting spectrum. Moving beyond his image centered on romance and youth dramas, he successfully handled superpower-based action and restrained emotional performances, proving his acting once again.

Recently, Cha Eunwoo found himself at the center of controversy after it was revealed that he had received a tax assessment from the National Tax Service. Initial reports mentioned a scale of around 20 billion KRW, but the actual amount was reportedly about 13 billion KRW, which he has fully paid. One source noted, “Cha Eunwoo has been physically and mentally exhausted over the past few years,” adding, “It’s hard to see him as being in a state where he could evade taxes.”

Nevertheless, Cha Eunwoo has once again proven his worth through his work. Pop culture critic Kim Sung-soo commented, “Cha Eunwoo held his own alongside others acting powerhouses[...] .” He added, “His choice of project right before military enlistment was smart. It’s a work that leaves a strong impression and will become an important turning point in his filmography going forward.”
