Cha Eun Woo is K-Drama's Rising Male Lead - And Here’s Where You Can Catch Him

Before you know it, Cha Eun Woo will be infiltrating every K-Drama network available - and we’re not mad about it!

The ASTRO K-pop idol group member and rising K-Drama star has been labelled as the next big thing in South Korean television. With a highly rated drama (My ID is Gangnam Beauty) in his back pocket and an upcoming lead role in a series set to release late 2020, we don’t doubt that this multi talented artist would steal the spotlight.

If you can’t wait for his new drama, True Beauty, to come out soon, here are a couple shows you can watch Cha Eun Woo in - all available on Viu:

Cha Eun Woo stars opposite Im Soo-Hyang as the brooding Do Kyung-Seok in My ID is Gangnam Beauty.

But despite her new stunning appearance, she still receives derogatory remarks from her peers, except Do Kyung-Seok.
