Cha Eun-woo Unveils New Photobook Ahead Of Military Enlistment

ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo is set to captivate fans with the release of his latest photobook, titled 2025 CHA EUN-WOO OFFICIAL PHOTO BOOK [ME : UNBOX], scheduled to hit the shelves in late May 2025. This highly anticipated release, which showcases the star in stunning visuals shot in Tokyo and Kyoto, promises to highlight Cha Eun-woo's evolving charm and artistry.

The photobook is a collaborative effort with renowned graphic artist VERDY, blending sophisticated design with artistic flair. It features a variety of exclusive content, including a key ring, an acrylic stand, and stickers, all of which add to its collectible value. Fans will be thrilled to know that pre-orders placed at HMV between May 7 and May 18, 2025, will include special bonuses, such as a photobook signed by Cha Eun-woo himself.

With the outer box measuring 210x270x95 mm, the photobook itself is 190x250 mm and contains 200 pages filled with a mix of concept art and photos that capture the essence of Cha Eun-woo's persona. The key holder, designed by VERDY, measures 85x78 mm, while the acrylic stand is 100x140 mm. Additionally, the photobook includes a variety of stickers, a figure with NFC functionality, and a poster measuring 500x380 mm, making it a must-have for collectors.

As the excitement builds for the photobook's release, Cha Eun-woo is also preparing for a significant life transition—his military enlistment. According to a statement from his agency, Fantagio, he has applied to join the army military band and is currently awaiting the results of his application, which will be announced on May 29, 2025. If accepted, he is expected to enlist in July 2025.

In the meantime, Cha Eun-woo is keeping busy with his artistic endeavors. He is scheduled to hold solo concerts titled The 4th ASTROAD [Stargraphy] on June 7 and June 8 at the Incheon Inspire Arena, followed by performances on June 28 and June 29 at the Mizuho PayPay Dome in Fukuoka. Additionally, he is currently filming for the upcoming Netflix series The Wonderful World.

Adding to the buzz surrounding Cha Eun-woo, singer Lee Seung-gi recently commented on their collaboration on the song You're My Girl, which features Cha Eun-woo. During an appearance on MBC FM4U's Kim Eana's Starry Night, Lee Seung-gi humorously described the collaboration as a "very bad plan" but acknowledged its strategic nature. He noted that Cha Eun-woo's rendition of the song offers a different vibe compared to his own, highlighting the appeal of the younger artist.

Lee Seung-gi's remarks come as he celebrates his own milestone, having released his 20th debut anniversary album titled With, which includes Cha Eun-woo as a featured artist on the track You're My Girl. This collaboration has sparked interest among fans, particularly given the 10-year age difference between the two artists, which Lee humorously remarked might mean Cha Eun-woo has more female fans, or "aunts," now.

As fans eagerly await the photobook and Cha Eun-woo's upcoming enlistment, the excitement surrounding his multifaceted career continues to grow. The photobook's release, along with his concerts and collaborations, showcase not only his talent but also his ability to connect with a diverse audience.

For those interested in the photobook, it will be exclusively available at HMV stores and online, with the pre-order period running from May 7 to May 18, 2025. Given the limited nature of the signed editions and the collectible items included, fans are encouraged to act quickly to secure their copies.

In conclusion, Cha Eun-woo’s latest endeavors, from his photobook to his military enlistment preparations, reflect a dynamic artist committed to both his craft and his fans. As he prepares for this next chapter, the anticipation surrounding his work only intensifies, making it an exciting time for supporters of the ASTRO member.
