Cha Eun-woo's 'Sculpted Visual' Returns Amid Imminent Discharge, Shaking Off Tax Controversy

The 'face genius' Cha Eun-woo has flaunted his unchanging visuals even during his military service. Having previously drawn attention with playful and more approachable photos taken with his military colleagues, he has now reclaimed his 'sculpted visual' by perfectly pulling off the military band uniform.

Recently, photos of Cha Eun-woo, who is serving in a military band, were released through SNS and online communities. In the photos, Cha Eun-woo is seen posing alongside his colleagues, wearing an intense red military band uniform and a white hat. Although it is a completely different look from the glamorous style usually seen on stage, the neatness unique to the military uniform instead made his face and proportions stand out even more.

Above all, even though part of his face was covered by the hat, his small face and distinct features were noticeable at a glance. Combined with his tall height and upright posture, a dignified atmosphere, different from his idol days, could be felt. It is to the extent that the unfamiliar modifier 'soldier Cha Eun-woo' does not feel awkward.

Previously, when photos taken with his military colleagues were released, Cha Eun-woo drew interest with an atmosphere slightly different from now. This was because he showed human charm, different from his perfect image on stage, with playful expressions and a much more relaxed face. Fans' reactions were also enthusiastic toward his natural appearance during military life.

However, in these photos, the atmosphere has changed significantly. With his facial lines appearing sharp again and the addition of the uniform, he revealed visuals that make the term 'military hiatus' feel meaningless. As he could not be seen often for a long time, he asserted his presence with just a few photos.

During Cha Eun-woo's military service period, there were also significant personal issues. A tax controversy arose when it was reported that he was notified of a tax collection amount exceeding 20 billion won by the National Tax Service last January. Subsequently, Cha Eun-woo's side stated that they respect the procedures and results of the National Tax Service and reported that all related taxes have been paid.

Currently, Cha Eun-woo is serving in a military band and is approaching his discharge next January. As his discharge draws closer, the expectations of fans waiting for his return are expected to grow. Although he has temporarily disappeared from the public eye, these photos once again showed that his nickname 'face genius' was not given in vain.
