‘Save me': Cha Eun Woo having a ‘hard time' in military? ASTRO's Sanha reveals if he's adjusting well

Pink Villaa day ago
Cha Eun Woo, the famed singer from boy group ASTRO and actor known for projects like True Beauty, has enlisted in the military, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows for the star himself. Less than a week into his mandatory service, the K-pop star has spoken up about his time training as a soldier. Teammate Sanha shared an anecdote with his fans, talking about the ASTRO group chat. He said that the older member wondered how others managed to survive the training. Another user online revealed that fellow enlisted soldiers were staring at the singer-actor to the point that their instructor had to reprimand them.
Cha Eun Woo's first week in the military
Talking to his fans on a community chatting platform on August 3, Sanha revealed Cha Eun Woo 's naive but sincere question the past Saturday, August 2. 'Eun Woo hyung suddenly said, 'How did MJ do it? Save me',' he delved into the contents of their chat, speaking about the oldest member of ASTRO, MJ, who completed his military service a couple of years ago.
The message seems to have come in during the 1 hour of cell phone time that is supposedly given to the trainees at the end of each day. 'Even our physically fit Eun Woo hyung seems to be having a hard time. But I think he's adjusting well,' he added. The last bit seems to have induced a collective sigh of relief within his fandom, who were worried about the handsome star.
Having enlisted on July 28 at the Korea Army Training Center in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province, Cha Eun Woo will be a part of the military band after completing the rigorous application process. He will be training for 2 weeks, followed by about 18 months of compulsory duty. If everything goes well, he will be out by January 27, 2027.
Another incident emerged online where a user shared that their boyfriend is in the same training center as Cha Eun Woo and experienced constant staring from fellow soldiers. To this the training assistant warned them to stop looking at him, adding that he was just a human, much like themselves.

Has VCHA officially disbanded? JYP Entertainment girl group disappears from social media amid fan concerns

Girl group VCHA, which came into existence all thanks to the reality competition program A2K, may have disbanded as fans await updates about the group's future. On August 5, many netizens noticed that all social media accounts had deleted their content and removed the profile photos of the girls, going into complete 'blackout' modes. This included the team's Instagram profile with 825K followers, X account with 62.7 K followers, YouTube with 674K subscribers, and even TikTok, where the team enjoyed a whopping 1.4 million following. This has further raised concerns about the group's disbandment amid the team's ongoing issues internally. VCHA's run in the K-pop industry over? Here's all we know The disappearance of VCHA's official accounts is a recent development amid the group members' struggles with their management. While usually a marketing tactic to attract more headlines and online engagement, their absence from social media appears to be a goodbye instead. Inclining more towards a break-up of the team, VCHA's name had also been removed from JYP Entertainment 's website under the artists' section, as fans observed on the same day. This has more or less confirmed their doubts as Vlights (VCHA's fandom) waited for news from the agency. The issues first came to light when member KG spoke out about the alleged mistreatment she received at the hands of the staff, which the company soon denied. After being placed on a hiatus, her departure was announced in December 2024. A case is also going on between her and the agency after she first registered it at the Los Angeles Superior Court. Following her, member Kaylee also decided to leave the team and the label in July 2025 with mutual termination, turning the group into a four-piece. While further updates have not come in from Camila, Lexi, Kendall or Savanna, it seems that the team will no longer continue its course under the South Korean giant, which was managing the group alongside Republic Records. VCHA debuted on January 26, 2024, and was all set to appear during Lollapalooza for their first music festival performance, but pulled out eventually. So far, JYP Entertainment has not shared a comment on the group's future.
