Cha Eun-woo is making his solo debut after eight years of being a member of K-pop boy band Astro and will hold his first solo fan concert in Singapore.

South Korean media outlet Sport TV News reported on Jan 9 that Cha – dubbed the “face genius” for his perfectly symmetrical features and good looks – will release his first solo album in the first half of 2024.

His agency Fantagio confirmed the news on South Korean online platform Naver, adding that the 26-year-old will unveil songs from the album at his first solo fan concert, 2024 Just One 10 Minute: Mystery Elevator.

The tour will kick off in Seoul on Feb 17 and features stops in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Japan. The Singapore leg will take place at The Star Theatre on April 13 at 7pm.

In Singapore, Cha will have fan interactions and they will ride a “Mystery Elevator” to a space, where they can appreciate Cha’s charms.

Concert tickets are priced from $128 to $268, excluding the booking fee.

Ticket pre-sales will be available on www.sistic.com.sg/events/eunwoo0424 for the 2024 Cha Eun-woo (Astro) Official Fanclub members on Jan 29 at 10am, and for Viu Premium subscribers and Trust cardholders on Jan 30 at 10am.

General sales will start on Jan 31 at 10am.

Cha, who made his music debut in 2018, has become one of the most sought-after K-idols after transitioning from singing to acting.

After his breakout role in My ID Is Gangnam Beauty (2018), he appeared in hit K-dramas such as True Beauty (2020), Island (2022) and A Good Day To Be A Dog (2023 to present).

He was in Singapore twice in 2023, for the launch of Christian Dior’s La Collection Privee Dioriviera Fragrance in June and for French jeweller Chaumet’s pop-up boutique and lounge in September. On both occasions, fans waited for hours just to catch a glimpse of him.
