South Korea's "face genius" Cha Eun-woo hasn't completely escaped discussions about his 20 billion KRW (approximately RM53.52 million) tax issue, but the handsome star is back! After taking care of his tax matters, he made his first stage appearance with the military band recently, with Korean netizens saying he was so handsome that the internet went wild.
On the day, Cha Eun-woo appeared in a formal tailcoat, standing at the center of the military band stage. The moment he saluted while holding the microphone was so picturesque it looked like a movie scene. Without the added flair of a military uniform, he still commanded the entire stage with his presence. His upright posture and calm expression had netizens instantly commenting: "Is this a military band or a fashion show?", "His visuals are literally national defense level strength."
What's particularly notable is that this appearance came at a very sensitive time. Previously, Cha Eun-woo found himself caught up in a tax investigation after rumors of a KRW 20 billion back tax (making waves in the entertainment industry). After adjustments, the final amount was confirmed to be about 13 billion KRW (approximately RM34.78 million), which he has now fully paid, allowing the controversy to gradually subside. Now, he has chosen to return to the spotlight on stage, using the most direct method—"letting his looks speak for him." Just his stance and salute have quietly shifted the tide of public opinion.
