ASTRO member and actor Cha Eun Woo recently opened up about his experience performing at 'Waterbomb 2024.'

On July 22, the 'GQ Korea' channel released an interview video with Cha Eun Woo. He shared his thoughts on taking the stage at the popular event.

Cha Eun Woo dazzled fans with his looks and energetic performance at 'Waterbomb 2024.' When asked if he had watched any videos of his performance, he said, "I haven't seen the fancams, but I saw the photos and videos fans uploaded."

At first, he was hesitant to watch the video, saying, "I don't really want to watch it," but then he focused on reviewing his performance.

He admitted, "Honestly, I was very nervous. I kept wondering if it was appropriate for me to be there, and that made me even more anxious."

He added, "During the performance, I couldn't really hear the audience's reactions. It was only after coming off stage and seeing the fan uploads that I realized how much they were cheering. I didn't notice any of it while I was on stage."

Cha Eun Woo also recently held his largest solo fan concert tour since his debut. The tour, titled '2024 Just One 10 Minute [Mystery Elevator] Encore in Seoul,' took place at the SK Handball Stadium in Olympic Park, Songpa-gu, Seoul, on July 6.

This came after his main performances in 10 cities across Asia and South America from February to July. The encore performances in Japan and Seoul wrapped up successfully.

Additionally, Cha Eun Woo starred in the MBC drama 'Wonderful World,' which ended in April, continuing his busy career as both a singer and actor.

BTS’s Jimin is showing no signs of slowing down as a solo artist! His second album, MUSE, and its title track, Who, continue to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts, cementing his place as one of K-pop’s biggest global stars.

In the latest Billboard update (December 28), Jimin’s hit song Who ranked 47th on the Hot 100, marking its impressive 22nd consecutive week on the chart. This makes Who the longest-charting song by a Korean solo artist, surpassing the record previously set by Psy’s Gangnam Style. And it’s not just that—Who is the first K-pop solo song to spend its first 22 weeks in the Hot 100’s Top 60.

But the success doesn’t stop there. Jimin’s album MUSE, which includes Who, also continues to shine. It’s ranked 136th on the Billboard 200, securing its 22nd week on the chart. This makes MUSE the only K-pop album released in 2024 to have stayed on the chart for such a long period.

On top of that, Who has been making waves on several other Billboard charts. On the Streaming Songs chart, it holds the No. 32 spot, marking its 22nd week. This achievement makes it the second-longest-charting K-pop track, just behind Gangnam Style. The song also stays strong on the Global 200 and Global (Excluding U.S.) charts, sitting at No. 25 and No. 30, respectively.

The success of Who is also reflected in MUSE’s performance. The album recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the World Albums chart and is currently at No. 2. MUSE has now extended its record as the second-longest-charting K-pop solo album, just behind Jimin’s first solo album, FACE (which charted for 63 weeks).

These accomplishments have earned Jimin praise from U.S. media outlet AsianEAC, which dubbed him a “living legend.” They highlighted that Jimin achieved all these milestones despite having “no promotions in the U.S. during the Christmas season, no high-profile collaborations, and while serving his military duty.”

Jimin’s success is a true testament to his talent and global impact!
