📰 Cha Eunwoo is mentioned in an article about the 2024 poetry book Consolation of the Stars (별들의 위로) by journalist and poet Jang Jaeseon. The collection features poems dedicated to 37 influential figures across generations of South Korean entertainment, placing #CHAEUNWOO alongside legendary artists as a representative of the younger generation.
Rather than focusing merely on appearance or stardom, Jang uses poetry to explore the dedication, inner life, and mindset required to forge one's own path in the industry. By addressing the loneliness and endurance behind fame, the book honors these figures as fellow travelers who offer comfort to the public while carrying their own quiet strength.
We're sharing the poem dedicated to Cha Eunwoo once again:
‘You, Who Receive All the Sunshine in the World’
– Singer and Actor Cha Eunwoo
“Under the May sunshine, walking down Jeongdong Alley with her,
I thought of her son, who departed on a road from which he cannot return.
Because she could not forget, yet never spoke of it,
that weight in her heart made me pause my steps several times.
That night, I encountered your tears.
Having lost a friend,
you said you hated looking fine
and hated looking not fine just as much.
As your eyes welled up with tears,
my own eyes grew warm too.
Wishing that you, who receive all the sunshine in the world,
will never lose the heart that seeks to remember those who have lost their light,
that night in my sleep,
I was able to dream
of meeting the one I miss so dearly.”
Author's Note – Jang Jaeseon:
“Actor Cha Eunwoo, who started out as an idol singer, bears the nickname ‘Face Genius’ thanks to his striking, handsome appearance. For a while, asking about his ‘ideal type’ by comparing him to other celebrities was a popular trend on television and YouTube programs. A rookie politician was once asked, "Who do you think is better looking, your party leader who holds your nomination rights, or Cha Eunwoo?". To this, a young politician born in the 1980s replied that his party leader was better looking, making himself a laughingstock.
Due to his outstanding looks, Actor Cha previously received comments that his acting performance did not stand out. However, in the recently aired drama Wonderful World, he effortlessly portrayed a complex character who, while obsessed with revenge, eventually reconciles with his target—rendering such criticism meaningless.
From his frequent appearances across media programs and commercial advertisements, one can vividly feel the freshness of early summer. It seems like a season in his life filled only with sunshine. Yet, through a talk show, I learned that the deep pain of loss also holds a significant place within him. Looking back on a friend who shared his time in an idol group and departed this world first, his eyes welled up with tears, and he could not continue speaking for a moment.
He said, "(After my friend passed away) I hated looking like I was fine, and I hated looking like I was not fine." I felt such deep empathy that I found myself nodding along.
If Actor Cha continues on his current path, he will enjoy even more days of brilliant glory. I truly hope he does. At the same time, I hope he holds onto that heart that gazes deeply into the shadows of the world.”
