Cha Eun Woo Talks About His Military Enlistment, Upcoming Projects, And More
Fashion magazine Esquire Korea has released a pictorial featuring Cha Eun Woo! The pictorial, which was in collaboration with luxury fashion house Saint Laurent, showcased Cha Eun Woo with a short hairstyle that revealed a new side of him. On the day of the photo shoot, staff members from Cha Eun Woo’s agency showed up in matching printed T-shirts featuring a childhood photo of the star, prepared specially for his send-off to the military. Cha Eun Woo commented, “There’s still some time left before my enlistment, but in terms of my official schedule, today is my last [scheduled activity before enlisting]. I only realized after arriving on set and stepping out of the elevator that the staff had even prepared matching T-shirts as a way of sending me off. It still doesn’t quite feel real yet.” Cha Eun Woo, who debuted a short hairstyle through the photo shoot, remarked, “Until now, because of advertisements and other activities, I couldn’t cut my hair freely. But since this is my last project, I wanted to leave behind some photos with short hair. And since it’s a pictorial, I thought it was the right time to show a more daring side of myself that I hadn’t shown before.” He continued, “Working on a pictorial with Saint Laurent is always more fun. Seeing unique pieces like thigh-high boots and leather coats that fall to the calves makes me think about how to interpret such distinctive outfits in photos, and that process is really enjoyable.” Talking about his upcoming projects, Cha Eun Woo shared, “I’ve been preparing projects for the past year or two so that fans won’t feel my absence too much. One of them is the upcoming film ‘First Ride’ [literal title], which also stars Kang Ha Neul, Kim Young Kwang, Kang Young Seok, and Han Sun Hwa.” He also mentioned that the Netflix series “The WONDERfools,” in which he plays a civil servant who is slightly lacking in social skills, has finished production and is awaiting release. Cha Eun Woo’s full pictorial and interview can be found in the September issue of Esquire Korea.

ADOR Appoints New CEO
HYBE subsidiary ADOR has appointed a new CEO. On August 20, the label revealed that Vice President Lee Do Kyung has been appointed as its new CEO. Explaining the decision, ADOR stated, “This move is intended to further strengthen the label’s operations as a company dedicated to planning and managing artists’ activities, including albums and concerts.” Previously, in August of last year, ADOR appointed HR specialist Kim Joo Young as CEO in order to separate production and management and stabilize its organizational structure through appropriate personnel restructuring. With those goals now accomplished, the board has chosen to shift toward a system that can more swiftly support artist activities and business growth—entrusting the role to a leader with hands-on expertise in label management. The newly appointed CEO, Lee Do Kyung, joined HYBE (formerly Big Hit Entertainment) in 2019, where she helped shape the company’s vision and business strategy while spearheading new ventures. In 2022, she served as Vice President of HYBE Music Group’s IPX Business Division, which focuses on expanding artist IP–based businesses, playing a key role in advancing solutions that leverage artist IP. Her track record also includes overseeing HYBE Music Group’s entire merchandise, pop-up store, and light stick businesses, as well as leading THE CITY project—a large-scale collaboration that applied artist IP across entire cities where concerts were held, offering fans immersive experiences beyond the stage.
