Like most male idols, ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo had his time come to enlist and serve in the military. But before his departure, he is making one last wave in the K-Pop world with his super-short buzz cut.

On July 27, 2025 (KST), the day before his enlistment, Cha Eunwoo shared the first look at his buzzed hair with his fans. The video has since gone viral…
