In particular, he drew attention from viewers by showing off his firm muscles during a shower scene which truly made the fans, especially AROHA's hearts, flutter.

This is a huge surprise to those who have supported him since the beginning of his career since Eun Woo was first known for his fair skin and skinny body ratio that built him his pure and innocent image.

At the time, he was only 18 years old and he turned into an epitome of a "flower boy" with a rather small physique and a small face.

Rather than the body, he was also an idol who garnered attention focused on visuals because of his overwhelming appearance which gave him the modifier, "Face Genius."

But seven years after his debut, if you look at the pictures on his Instagram, his build is clearly different from the beginning of his debut.

Rather than feeling like a "beautiful" boy, he exudes a masculine atmosphere. They say that growing his hair recently has added to his "wild" beauty.

On the other hand, some people especially male viewers sighed and hilariously expressed their jealousy to the male star, jokingly saying that he shouldn't take everything and let them win the "physique" category if not the "visual" field.

  • "If your face is already that face, you should be banned from exercising."
  • "If you are this humanly handsome, please don't exercise."
  • "This is a foul."
  • "The gym should be closed."
  • "Are you sure about this? If you have a good body in addition to your handsome face, you will be in trouble."
  • "Now you feel different because you are like a real person from another world."

Meanwhile, Cha Eun Woo made his debut as a member of the group ASTRO in 2016 and released their debut EP, "Spring Up."
