This series will explore some of the idols who have so much modeling potential that people who see them for the first time might confuse them with models instead of K-Pop idols. EXO’s Kai opened the series for us, followed by SF9’s Yoo TaeYang and CIX’s Bae JinYoung. Readers voted for ASTRO’s Cha EunWoo in our weekly poll (at the end of the article) to be featured this week. Today we will be getting to know more about the visual genius that is ASTRO’s Cha EunWoo! Cha EunWoo is famous as a K-Pop idol and member of ASTRO, and for his solo acting activities. He has acted in popular dramas such as “Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung”, “My ID Is Gangnam Beauty”, and “True Beauty”. He is multi-talented, however, he is also known for being a ‘face genius’! Cha EunWoo is considered one of the most handsome idols in Korea and, as a result, has done a lot of modeling work. He is the muse and model for many brands including a perfume brand, sports leisure brand, and even a soju brand, etc. Let’s get to know more about what makes him such a great model! First, let’s look at some close-ups of his iconic facial features. His facial proportions are a large part of his handsomeness as shown in the photos below which he shot for Fation (the cosmetics brand he models for).
We also need a moment to appreciate his tall height and body proportions.
He is the official brand ambassador for Burberry and recently did a photoshoot with them and Harper’s BAZAAR magazine rocking androgynous fashion. We wrote an article all about how he pulls off this unique fashion concept. Read more about it here. Cha EunWoo also has beautiful masculine hands which make him an excellent pick for accessory brands and watch brands. He has worked with Montblanc and BVLGARI to name just a couple.
He can also pull off accessories such as bags through several poses.
Not only can he rock various fashion looks, but he can look good in any makeup look as well. Here is a shot of him with the popular flushed freckle makeup trend that he rocked in a runway show. Any brand would be lucky to have Cha EunWoo as their model. If you knew nothing about K-Pop or ASTRO, Cha EunWoo would definitely seem like a model at first glance. Do you agree? Are there any idols that you would like to see in this series? If so, leave a comment down below and we will cover them later in the series.
Important notice: the vote only decides who will be covered in the next article. Everyone in the poll will be covered in the series eventually. Suggestions will also be gradually added each week.
