Cha Eunwoo's Final Fan Meet Before Military Service Has Fans in Tears - Here's What You Need to Know
The venue, with a capacity of 4,400, is expected to be packed with fans ready to show their love and support for the idol one last time before he dons the uniform.
For those in the fandom, this isn't just another event-it's the end of an era. Presale tickets go live for Astro's official fan club members on Wednesday evening, and the general sale opens Thursday. You can almost hear the collective sound of keyboards smashing as fans rush to secure their spots.
A Star Who Never Stopped Shining
Even with enlistment looming on July 28, Cha Eunwoo hasn't slowed down. He's been everywhere-wrapping up the Korean leg of Astro's tour, prepping for two massive concerts at the Mizuho PayPay Dome in Fukuoka, and starring in a VR-immersive film, "Cha Eun-woo VR Concert: Memories," currently showing in Korean theaters and soon to hit screens in over 20 countries. Talk about a packed schedule!
It's a classic K-pop move: work hard, play hard, and make sure your fans have enough memories to last through the military hiatus. For Indian youth who've grown up watching their favorite Bollywood stars take career breaks for personal reasons, this kind of dedication is next-level. Imagine if your favorite actor threw a massive party before heading off for a two-year sabbatical-now that's fan service!
The Emotional Rollercoaster for Fans
Let's be real-saying goodbye to a star like Cha Eunwoo isn't easy.

Fans have watched him grow from a boy band rookie to a full-blown superstar, and now they're preparing for nearly two years without new music, dramas, or Insta updates. The July 12 event is more than just a meet and greet; it's a collective hug, a chance to say "see you soon" rather than "goodbye."
For many, it's a reminder of the sacrifices K-pop idols make, balancing fame, personal growth, and national duty. The fact that Cha is making time for this final event shows how much he values his fans-a sentiment that resonates deeply with young people everywhere.
Why This Goodbye Hits Different
There's something universally relatable about big farewells. Whether it's a college buddy leaving for a job abroad or your favorite cricketer taking a break, we all know the bittersweet feeling. Cha Eunwoo's last fan meet is a moment of shared emotion, not just for Korean fans but for anyone who's ever had to say goodbye to someone they admire.
And let's not forget the sheer scale-4,400 fans in one hall, all cheering, crying, and making memories.
If you convert the average ticket price (say, 100,000 KRW) to Indian Rupees, that's about ₹6,000 per ticket, making it a premium but unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to attend.
Cha Eunwoo's journey is a reminder that fame comes with its own set of challenges, but also with moments that bring people together. Here's hoping his military service is safe and smooth and that the memories from "THE ROYAL" fan meet will keep everyone going until he's back on stage.
This moment feels like the end of a season in a favorite show-bittersweet, nostalgic, and full of hope for what comes next. Fans in Seoul and around the world will be counting the days until Cha Eunwoo returns, ready to create new memories all over again.

One-take movie by Iranian director among 98 films competing at fest
1 2 Kolkata: Ninety-eight films, exploring diverse subjects, such as AI, the desire for hilsa in a patriarchal household and Kolkata's music shop, are vying for the top awards at the 8th South Asian Short Film Festival that started at Nandan on Monday. Among the entries at the festival, launched by the Federation of Film Societies of India (Eastern Region), is a single-take film—'Spasm' —by an Iranian director and an Indian producer. Directed by Sahra Asadollahi and produced by Deepankar Prakash, the short film, 'Spasm', is about what happens when a woman who has never acted in film goes for an audition that becomes a test of more than just her acting ability. "I met Sahra at a festival in Nepal in 2023. Soon, we decided to collaborate and started work on this 27-minute-long film. Sahra, an actor in Iran, shot the film completely in Tehran, while I was in India. She herself played the role of the woman in the film," said Prakash, whose 'Naanera' had won in the competition on Indian Language's Films at the Kolkata International Film Festival in 2022.

From her father's horse to her 10-month-old baby—questions are flung at her from all quarters. Finally, a situation arises where she is compelled to believe she is rejected. But the situation takes a different turn when she is told the confrontation was deliberately orchestrated to evaluate her acting skill. In recent times, the long single-take shooting approach, especially after the success of 'Adolescence', has got cine enthusiasts talking. 'Spasm' is the first one-take film in competition at the South Asian Short Film Festival. What makes this film engaging is how minimalism has been effectively used to counter the challenges of filming by a woman director in Iran. Shot inside one room with minimal production and sound design, 'Spasm' features only an animated Asadollahi seated in front of the camera. The camera angle is such that the faces of no other cast member, including the director and the producer, are visible. For many independent film-makers, who complain about shortage of funds and lack of infrastructure in this city, the film is a lesson on how big ideas, not big budgets, are important for good cinema. "Sahra is unable to come to Kolkata now because of the situation in her country. But I will be at the festival," Prakash added.

Watch: Vlogger Tries Indian Sweets For The First Time, His Reaction Says It All
A video doing the rounds on Instagram shows a foreign vlogger trying Indian sweets for the first time. While there are several food videos of people tasting Indian dishes for the first time, this one stands out for the vlogger's expressive reactions and quirky descriptions of each sweet. The vlogger (@tariqokay) recognises the name gulab jamun, which is where he begins his tasting session of the assorted Indian sweets box. After the gulab jamun, he picks up a green-coloured petha, looking visibly confused, and refers to it as a "uranium-looking nuclear reactor piece". However, he appreciates its "interesting texture". Next comes jalebi, which the vlogger amusingly calls the "Indian pretzel". After tasting it, he says, "It had the best texture by far." He then samples burfi. Although he is unfamiliar with the name, he guesses it to be a type of fudge with a caramel aroma. Calling it "fudgy pudgy", he seems thoroughly impressed and declares it "magnificent". Enjoying the flavours, he even breaks into song, saying, "That's the way, maahi ve." Finally, the vlogger tries what appears to be dhodha burfi. Jokingly, he calls it a "brownie/cake hybrid endangered species". Just one bite is enough for him to call it "the one" - scrumptious and a solid 9.5/10. "Indian desserts are dangerously good," the vlogger concludes, adding in the caption, "So this is what I've been missing out on, huh?" Watch the video here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by @tariqokay The Indian sweets taste test has won over viewers on Instagram, especially from India. One viewer described each sweet in detail, explaining the names and ingredients for the vlogger. He added, "Bro, your food reviews are so good. Make some more Indian food reviews. And if you need any suggestions, let me know. I am happy to help you." A food lover joked, "Me watching him eating in the wrong order... Giving me very bad anxiety." Another suggested, "Please try ras malai, make sure it's cold when you eat it. Also, try cham cham - make sure it has a creamy filling." Craving Indian sweets after watching this?

The biggest surprise of the night came when the iconic K-pop girl group unveiled the teaser for their upcoming music video Jump, sending BLINKs into a frenzy.

JISOO performed songs from her EP Amortage, while LISA, JENNIE and ROSÉ brought their solo albums Alter Ego, Ruby and rosie to life on stage. However, it was the debut of their unreleased track Jump that truly stole the spotlight. The girls performed the song not once but twice during the concert, thrilling fans who had long awaited new music from the group. Jump marks BLACKPINK's first group song since the release of The Girls in 2023 and their 2022 album Born Pink, which topped the Billboard 200. With rumors swirling about more music on the way, BLINKs have high hopes for a massive comeback. Fan reactions online have been euphoric. One BLINK declared Jump the 'SONG OF THE YEAR," while another wrote, 'THIS GONNA BE BIG BIG BIG!" Comments like 'THE LEGEND IS BACKKK" and 'THE GIRLS COMING!" flooded social media, showing the group's global fandom is as strong as ever.
