Twelve years ago, a boy took his first steps in front of the cameras, and looking back today and seeing how far this boy has come makes me so emotional…
Today, I want to celebrate this journey by remembering one of my favorite moments from my favorite drama of his. During the MBC Drama Awards 2019 ceremony, the presenter asked him:
MC: "Cha Eun-woo-shi, is there a love scene that was the most difficult for you?"
EW: "The most difficult love scene was… Humm, there is a scene where I was a little insistent with her. There was a scene as Yi Rim, when I had returned, that was a little difficult for me as an actor. So I asked my noona a lot about that scene."
I simply love the extremely respectful way he treats his scene partners. In a delicate and challenging scene for his character, he had the humility to turn to his noona, talk, ask questions, and seek guidance from someone who had more experience.
This care in ensuring the other person’s comfort, combined with his constant eagerness to learn and evolve as an actor, shows Eun-woo’s nobility and essence. It is about talent, but also about respect, empathy, and professionalism.
The two of them had impeccable chemistry on screen, and that same night he was crowned with the Excellence in Acting award and the Best Couple award alongside actress Shin Se-kyung.
How proud I am to see the incredible man and artist he has become over these twelve years 🥹
And I’m waiting for you, to see you shine even brighter.💖

🎬 12 Years of Cha Eunwoo, the Actor
From his brief first appearance as the healthy version of Ahreum in My Brilliant Life on September 3, 2014, to the actor he is today, every role has added another character, another story and another facet to Cha Eunwoo’s acting journey.
After his first appearance in My Brilliant Life, his early years brought a fictionalized version of himself alongside the future ASTRO members in To Be Continued, followed by another playful take on “Cha Eunwoo” in My Romantic Some Recipe, where he quite literally steps out of a cardboard cutout and into a young woman’s life.
Hit the Top introduced him as MJ, a popular idol with a confident presence, while Sweet Revenge saw him once again appearing as a fictionalized version of himself.
And in Top Management, he became Woo Yeonwoo, a member of the struggling idol group S.O.U.L. trying to find its place in the industry.
Each of these early roles brought something different, marking the beginning of a filmography that would soon expand into increasingly diverse characters, stories and genres.
Then came the leading roles: the reserved honesty of Do Kyungseok in My ID is Gangnam Beauty, the naive yet increasingly courageous Prince Yirim in Rookie Historian Goo Haeryung, the gentle Angel Raviel in Soul Plate, and the hurt and sadness beneath Lee Suho’s distant exterior in True Beauty.
With Jeon Taeryong in Decibel, Yohan in Island and Jin Seowon in A Good Day to Be a Dog, Eunwoo continued to broaden his range — moving between action, humor, tragedy, romance, physical intensity and quiet emotion.
And his recent characters have revealed still more sides: the pain and intensity of Kwon Seonyul in Wonderful World, the introverted but quirky dreamer Ahn Yeonmin in The First Ride, and the principled, reserved and mysterious Lee Unjeong in The WONDERfools.
A prince and a priest. A student and a teacher. An idol and a Navy submariner — just some among the different characters he has brought to life.
Through subtle glances, expressions, body language, timing, physically demanding performances and emotional intensity, Eunwoo has continued to find a different way of bringing each character to life.
Different characters. Different emotions. Different worlds.
Happy 12th Actor Anniversary, Cha Eunwoo. 💜🥳
12 years of acting — and so many more characters still waiting to be brought to life.✨

My favorite and the best Actor Cha Eun-woo! Congratulation to 12 years of making us smile, cry, laugh, emulate, and wonder! Can't wait for more in the future! 💜✨
Here are 12 reasons, but we know there are so many others.
Magnetic and command aura. He can draw our attention naturally without over-acting.
Ability to control the energy. He knows when to dial his emotional and physical intensity up or down depending on the scene. (Example, he makes us cry too during the crying scenes.)
Insane vocal. The sound of his voice is beautiful and unique. His voice projection can be strong one moment and sweet the next depending on the scene.
Eyes acting. He conveys deep emotions and thoughts with his eyes alone or gaze without speaking or body movements.
Facial expression. He conveys his character internal emotions through his smiles, frowns, eyes gazing, and eyebrows movements naturally and effortlessly.
Dedication and commitment to his team, cast members, and projects. I hear stories about how supportive he is to other actors whether junior, senior, or child.
Chemistry with his co-stars. Whether it is romance or thriller, he has great chemistry with the female leads and make you believe in their relationships and bonds.
Work ethic. A great example is when he prepared all the projects prior to military service. His schedule was extremely busy and chaotic.
Kindness and respectfulness. So many stories of how he helps carry equipment, open doors, always bowing to others, and giving some of his brand merchandises to others.
Willingness to keep on learning. Even with 12 years of experiences, he is not afraid to ask for advice and learn new things.
Humbleness. He values others’ perspectives and treats other with respect. He is not arrogance even though he is a megastar.
Last but not least humor, fun, and playful sides. We can see during the behind the scenes; he loves playing jokes with everyone.
