Cha Eun-woo fans had to temporarily bid farewell to their beloved idol in July 2025, when he began his obligatory military service. Fortunately, the star completed one show before heading off to the barracks – the superhero comedy-drama The Wonderfools, which launched worldwide on May 15.
While the Netflix series can rely on the rest of its cast to market it to fans, including lead Park Eun-bin, losing access to Cha’s Instagram account – which boasts more than 46 million followers and has largely gone dark since his service began – must be a blow.
Cha has been very busy over the past decade as a member of the K-pop outfit Astro, a hugely in-demand brand ambassador and an active philanthropist who has appeared in films, television dramas and entertainment programmes.
