Cha Eun Woo's New Interactive VR Concert Film Lets Fans Choose The Storyline
Have you wondered what it would be like to be in a fairytale with K-pop heartthrob Cha Eun Woo (차은우)? Well, here's your chance because the idol recently announced a virtual reality (VR) concert film that transports fans into the story!
The 'Cha Eun Woo VR Concert: Memories' is an upcoming film hitting theatres in June. The concert is made in partnership with award-winning VR live event company AmazeVR Concerts. The movie offers fans an immersive, intimate experience with the star, thanks to VR technology. Adding to the excitement, fans will also get to choose the storyline for an interactive experience.
Presented as a fantasy romance, the film stars Cha Eun Woo as the main character and the viewer as the protagonist. While the movie progresses, the audience can choose how the story unfolds. Based on their choices, the audience in the same theatre will watch different versions of Cha Eun Woo in various storylines. As the film is a concert film, the ASTRO (아스트로) member will also perform several songs.
'Cha Eun Woo VR Concert: Memories' will premiere in South Korea on 18th June (Wednesday), and tickets will go on sale on 30th May (Friday). The film will also be available in 21 cities worldwide, including Tokyo, Los Angeles, Singapore, Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh. Unfortunately, the movie isn't available in Malaysia – at least not yet. On the official website, AmazeVR said the film will be released in more cities, so there's still hope for local AROHAs.
VR concerts are still new in the industry, but there have been several instances, even in Malaysia. In 2023, the 'B*Verse – BTS, Singing The Stars' exhibition in Pavilion Bukit Jalil also featured a VR experience for fans. The experience was set in a room with VR headsets and a concert-like sound system. Guests put on their headsets, and as the video and audio played, they're 'transported' to the front row of a BTS performance.
Let's hope that the 'Cha Eun Woo VR Concert: Memories' will make its way to Malaysia so that local fans can have an immersive experience with the star. In the meantime, check out the official trailer below:

Airbnb experiences themed after K-pop boy band Seventeen to be rolled out
Airbnb collaborates with K-pop group Seventeen as Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky emphasises Seoul as a strategic market. Photo: Handout In short-term lodging, experience could matter just as much or more than the spaces themselves, which is why a collaboration with a K-pop boy band such as Seventeen is beneficial, said Airbnb co-founder and chief executive Brian Chesky. The collaboration included replicating the set of Seventeen's music video Love, Money, Fame (2024) into real-life accommodation, allowing Carats – as Seventeen fans are dubbed – to experience a unique stay. The props from the music video were also used to furnish the Seventeen-inspired Airbnb room. At a press conference in Seoul on June 4, the vacation rental website's head honcho recalled working with the South Korean group in 2024, a project he said had proved to be hugely popular with not only Seventeen fans, but also Airbnb travellers as a whole, because of the unique experience it offered. 'We plan to roll out Seventeen-themed Airbnb programmes in major cities,' Chesky said at the press conference, without identifying where. This followed a meet-and-greet event for 60 Seventeen fans where the K-pop act were one-day-only special Airbnb hosts, in celebration of their 10th anniversary. Seventeen Airbnb Experience, as the fan gathering was called, was a demonstration of Airbnb Originals, a celebrity-hosted exclusive experience that is part of Airbnb Experiences. Airbnb Originals was launched in May to focus on unique activities run by local hosts. The programme is to help travellers experience their local surroundings with local hosts, according to Chesky. 'The biggest asset in people's lives is really not their home – it's their time. What if people could share not only their space, but their time with someone else?' he asked. The latest trip to Seoul by the Airbnb CEO is part of his global tour to promote Airbnb Experiences. He has made stops in Paris, Berlin, Milan and Tokyo, and emphasised that Seoul is a strategic market he finds deeply inspirational. According to Airbnb South Korea, bookings on the platform in the country in 2024 soared 20% from the previous year. The make-up of international visitors to South Korea is increasingly becoming diverse, the company added without elaboration. – The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
