It was definitely a shock.
ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo made an unexpected appearance at an event for his upcoming project.
Eunwoo is currently enlisted for his mandatory military service.
Eunwoo is set to star in the movie The First Ride.
On September 25, the film had a special production briefing, and Eunwoo shared a pre-recorded message.

#ChaEunwoo said, “I’ve always admired Kang Haneul Hyung and even went to see his play to greet him. This is the first time we’ve worked together, and on set, he’s so bright… pic.twitter.com/8my6yeA4Sv — CHA EUNWOO 차은우 INTERNATIONAL (@ChaEunwooINTL) September 25, 2025
Yet, if the video wasn’t enough, Eunwoo actually made a physical appearance… of some sort. Co-star Kim Young Kwang made sure that Eunwoo’s presence was felt at the event by bringing in a stuffed and large doll that had the idol’s face on it and he posed with a huge smile.
It meant that the stars could take a full cast photo as everyone, including Eunwoo was present for the photo wall, even if it was in an unconventional way.
They even had him watching from the audience, but sadly alone and without shoes as netizens pointed out.
The way they put eunwoo in the audience seat😆
Poor eunwoo he was alone and without shoes…😭#CHAEUNWOO #차은우#TheFirstRide pic.twitter.com/9LatX1lV09

It’s definitely a unique way for enlisted stars to attend events, and it might become more common now.
