ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo stuns in Paris with ‘manhwa lead’ visuals

If you’ve spent any time on the K-drama or K-pop side of the internet lately, there’s no way you missed Cha Eun Woo looking absolutely unreal at the Saint Laurent Men’s 2026 S/S Collection show in Paris. The ASTRO member and K-drama heartthrob had cameras flashing nonstop, with fans joking that even Getty Images couldn’t catch a bad angle. But while he delivered flawless visuals (as always), he also slipped in a subtle mention of something more emotional. In his latest Instagram post, he subtly referenced his upcoming military enlistment. And just like that, fans went from awe to heartbreak.

Cha Eun Woo wears a fall in 30°C heat and still outdresses Paris

Cha Eun Woo once again reminded everyone why he’s in a league of his own as he stepped out for the Saint Laurent Men’s 2026 S/S Collection show in Paris, France.

While the Paris summer heat hit 30°C (86°F), most attendees kept things breezy in short sleeves and light fabrics. But not Cha Eun Woo. Dressed in an olive turtleneck, a checkered wool jacket, and black leather pants, he looked like he’d walked straight off a fashion editorial, looking completely unfazed by the weather. The fall-inspired look shouldn’t have worked in that heat, but somehow, on him, it made perfect sense.

And it wasn’t just the outfit. Full-body shots of the ASTRO member quickly made the rounds online, with fans pointing out his unreal proportions, how effortlessly he carries himself, and that he looks straight out of a manhwa. Many agreed that no matter the angle, lighting, or setting, Cha Eun Woo continues to prove why he’s considered one of the most visually striking stars in the industry.

But then came the military enlistment nod

Just hours after turning heads on the streets of Paris, Cha Eun Woo treated fans to a more laid-back side of his trip by sharing a few snaps from his downtime. Dressed in a simple black polo, blue jeans, and black shades, the True Beauty star still managed to look effortlessly unreal. But what really got fans talking wasn’t the outfit—it was the caption. Eun Woo paired the photos with the song Last Farewell by BIGBANG and a simple “see ya”, which many believe is a nod to his upcoming military enlistment in July.
