ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun-woo won the 2021 Brand of the Year Grand Prize, illuminating his presence.

Cha Eun-woo was honored with the 'Acting Idol of the Year (Male)' category at the '2021 Brand of the Year Grand Prize', which selects the best brand that shined in the year through a public vote every year.

Cha Eun-woo's award this time has a special meaning in that it is decided by consumers' votes. About 610,000 consumers participated in the voting, recording the highest participation rate ever, proving that the public's preference for Cha Eun-woo is steadily rising.

In the meantime, Cha Eun-woo has been active in JTBC's 'My ID is Gangnam Beauty', MBC's 'Rookie Historian Goo Hae-ryeong', and tvN's 'Goddess Advent'. .

In particular, in 'True Beauty', which ended earlier this year, Cha Eun-woo took on the role of Lee Soo-ho, who is seemingly perfect but has unfathomable pain. Not only did he complete a heartbreaking growth story by expressing the various narratives of the character with delicate emotional acting, but he also received favorable reviews for succeeding in establishing himself as a male actor in his twenties with a wider acting spectrum.

In addition, Cha Eun-woo has been active in various entertainment programs such as SBS entertainment program 'All The Butlers' and ASTRO's reality 'Astro World', as well as being an irreplaceable 'all-round entertainer' through witty talk and a sense of humor.

On the other hand, ASTRO, to which Cha Eun-Woo belongs, is making a comeback with their 8th mini album 'SWITCH ON', winning 4 music shows and recording 275,000 copies of the album's Initial Chodong sales, once again creating an ASTRO craze around the world.
