During the short, 30-minute press conference, held at The Star Theatre on 13 April 2024, 4 hours ahead of his "Just One 10 Minute [Mystery Elevator]" fan concert in Singapore, Cha Eun Woo repeatedly mentioned that he would like to visit the Marina Bay Sands.

During his fan sign event in Korea, many Singaporean fans had requested for him to bring his solo fan concert to Singapore, which he has finally fulfilled their wishes.

Having just reached the sunny island on Friday night, he had already eaten one of his favourite local dish - chilli crab. He wanted to try pepper crab and chicken rice after the fan concert. Although he liked both types of crabs, he disclosed that he is not able to take too spicy food.

When asked about inspiration for writing songs and lyrics, the ASTRO member said he takes notes whenever he feels the "moment," be it on a plane or on his rest days. He will later combine all these moments to complete a song.

Cha Eun Woo had just released his first solo album Entity in February 2024, where he wrote the lyrics for all 6 songs.

While he has no preference on any specific musical or acting genre, he has a greed to try everything. He loves both drama or movie, and will choose based on the characters that are offered to him. He recalled having an interesting shoot for his drama A Good Day to be a Dog where he had to hold a snack on his lips in order to film the scene where he is kissing the dog.

Cha Eun Woo's biggest goal at the moment is to find a good acting project and produce good music, adding that he hope his fans will enjoy the night's event with him.

If he is given 10 minutes to do anything he wants in the world, he shyly claimed, "Since I am in Singapore, for the 10 minutes, I want to swim at (the Infinity Pool) at Marina Bay (Sands)."

On how he can encourage fans who are feeling down, he said, "There are definitely good people around you, don't take it too hard on yourself, take care and love yourself."

He then added that the songs from his mini album contains his sincere feelings which he hopes can heal those who are in pain. He takes care of himself by visiting pretty cafes, spending time with friends and loved ones, and having a good nap.

As part of the Viu Scream Dates series, Cha Eun Woo's first solo fan concert Just One 10 Minute (Mystery Elevator), presented by Viu, started promptly at 7PM, amidst screaming from the predominantly female fans. He began the performance with a group of dancers, sashaying to Lee Hyori's 2003 smash hit, 10 Minutes.

While singing the next song F***ing Great Time, the crowd shrieked every time he showed his torso.

While lying on the stage floor after the first 2 songs, he spoke in English, "It's really hot in Singapore, hotter than Korea. Since it's my fist time to have a solo concert in Singapore, I'm excited. You guys are welcoming me more than I expected. I've had concerts in different countries but it feels really different in Singapore, let's have fun tonight."

After bantering with the emcee on the song list from his first mini-album, he proceeded to sing Stay, a pop song with a calm yet strong acoustic guitar performance at the intro. The lyrics contain a message of comfort to everyone who is sad after parting with a loved one.

Cha Eun Woo enlightened the title Mystery Elevator, is a service that can bring Aroha (name of ASTRO's fandom) to go on a journey with him.

The elevator stopped at 97F, Cha Eun Woo's concept shop where the idol completes a mission every time he picked an outfit or accessory that is on display.

During this segment, Cha Eun Woo was taught Singlish, "Aiyo, Shiok and Walau Eh," while he tried different looks, ranging from angelic with a pair of wings, sexy poses while biting a rose, nerdy look with black rimmed spectacles to a starry-eyed prince with a blue tuxedo-like jacket and wooden sword.

The multi-faceted artist sang a new song Jealousy, which he composed for this fan concert, thereafter praising his fans.

He said, "Whenever I spend time with you guys, time really flies, and whenever I see your expressions from stage, I think you guys look really beautiful."

After singing Love Sailing, the OST from his 2022 screen debut Decibel, Cha Eun Woo mentioned, "I want to sail forever with you guys. Even though we speak a different language, I hope you feel what I feel."

The last floor that the mystery elevator reached - 413F, where the artist collects a constellation for every country where his fan meet was held, from Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Tokyo, to Singapore.

Since the last ASTRO concert was in Singapore in 2017, he shared, "7 years ago or now, you guys always welcome me, my heart is so warm now. This concert means so much to me and I have a gut feeling that we will see each other more often in the future."

The night ended with You're So Fine, the OST from True Beauty, his 2020 drama.

Prior to the concert, fans were delighted to receive treats from brands that the coveted idol endorses, such as Cornetto ice cream, Skechers photo booth images, and Ricola pocket photo cards.
