(Seoul = Larose.VIP) Reporter Choi Jae-seo = “Sometimes the power of a song is greater than words. I wanted to use the power of music to tell you what I wanted to say.”
Cha Eun-woo said this at a fan concert held at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 17th, saying, “I worked hard to prepare for this album and fan concert, but even though I had a lot to say since last year, I couldn’t say it comfortably.”
He added, “This is an album that I prepared with so much care, and I’m looking forward to the future even more.” He added, “I’ll move forward in style, so please follow me, and I’ll lean on you sometimes when things get tough.”
He also said, “Next week is the 8th anniversary of our (Astro) debut,” and added, “I don’t want to forget the day I went from Lee Dong-min (real name) to Cha Eun-woo.”
This concert is the first solo fan concert held by Cha Eun-woo since his debut as a member of Astro in 2016.
They have been holding fan meetings under the title ‘Just One Ten Minutes’, but in order to increase the scale, they decided to hold a fan concert combining a fan meeting and a concert.
The subtitle of the performance is ‘Mystery Elevator’, meaning that fans can go wherever they want. The performance was also conducted in a format where the concept changed by moving between multiple floors.

He expressed his feelings, saying, “I had asked to meet at a larger concert hall at the 2022 fan meeting, but this was my first time preparing for a fan concert. I was very nervous and had a hard night’s sleep before standing on this stage.”
On this day, he performed a total of 10 songs for about 2 and a half hours, starting with a special performance covering Lee Hyori’s ‘Ten Minutes’.
In particular, the stage of 6 songs from his first solo mini album ‘ENTITY’ released on the 15th was also revealed for the first time.
Among them, the title song ‘STAY’, a country pop song, was performed alone without any special effects, but the fans’ enthusiasm was hot.
He said, “I like the phrase ‘Your yesterday will be my present’ in ‘Stay’ the best because it touches me so much.”

Afterwards, the stage continued with Astro’s songs including ‘You Are Blowing’ and ‘Memories’, a song from the mini album that can only be heard on the CD.
In addition, various event programs were also held, such as a corner where Cha Eun-woo performed missions desired by fans and a prize drawing corner.
On the stage of ‘WHERE AM I’, he was unable to hold back his tears and appeared to stop singing. This song describes his empty heart, which is different from his flashy exterior.
On this day, Astro members MJ and Jinjin also visited the fan concert to cheer. Jinjin also said in the event corner during the performance, “I am so proud and proud of (Cha Eun-woo).”
Cha Eun-woo plans to continue his fan concert tour in Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, etc.
