ASTRO Cha Eun Woo's Photo In 6th Grade Draws Attention For Shocking Appearance
On December 5, a photo posted in an online community featuring ASTRO Eun Woo sparked discussion among K-pop enthusiasts and internet users over his appearance.
In particular, the post with the title, "THAT'S CHA EUNWOO IN 6TH GRADE" amassed over 153k views and about 300 upvotes from web users just a day after it was uploaded.
In the photo, Cha Eun Woo was seen sitting in a place that seemed like a park along with other four male students. Based on the post, the image was taken when Eun Woo was in 6th grade, making him only 12 years old at that time.
As soon as the post was posted, it garnered various reactions from K-pop fans and K-Netz. The reason is because of the male idol's visuals which are on top compared to his peers.
Initially, Eun Woo drew laughter and was teased by netters for looking like a gym teacher due to his tacky outfit and hairstyle. He can be seen wearing a polo shirt, khaki pants that don't even reach his ankles and black shoes. His hair was styled on one side, resembling Goku of "Dragon Balls Z."
- "Fvxk hahaha (so) You're telling me that's not the gym teacher?"
- "No, but honestly all the kids on that picture look super mature"
- "Wow... Even the people around him also don't look in their 6th grade? They look like middle schoolers"
However, he eventually received praise as soon as more people flocked to the post, due to his noticeable superior looks compared to his supposed classmates.
It wasn't confirmed if Eun Woo was really only 12 in the photo, but he's relatively taller and bigger than the other four students, making him stand out best.
On top of that, his solid features including his pretty eyes, nose, face shape, lips and thick eyebrows were already innate to him even prior to his debut, proving his celebrity genes.
Fans emphasized that although he was still an ordinary student at that time, there is no doubt that the "Love So Fine" singer would likely grow up and become a popular personality.
- "But a lot of pretty and handsome people tend to look older when they're younger. And the more they grow older, the younger they look"
- "He must have been popular...he's tall and handsome... somehow he seems like he's more mentally mature than the other kids."
- "But he's really an unrivaled handsome. The kids next to him are average but when you look at Cha Eun Woo, his visuals are free."
ASTRO Eun Woo Isn't Only All Visuals, But He's Also Praised For Skills, Intelligence & Personality
Fans also conveyed that the star must have been famous even when he was still in elementary school, not only for his appearance but his skills, intelligence and personality.
When he debuted at ASTRO, he was initially criticized by some people for only having his visuals as a huge factor of his popularity, but he proved them wrong by showing continuously improving singing and dance skills. He was also acknowledged for his acting skills after expanding his career as an actor.
In the past, the "face genius" idol surprised internet users as well after his past school achievements record was revealed, stating that he used to be a student body president who is also active in sports such as soccer.
He is also a real-life angel in terms of his personality, as per testimonies of people working around him. Eun Woo was loved for being kind-natured even off-cam and always look after staff, co-workers, and other people first before him.
