Cha Eunwoo's Final Fan Meet Before Military Service Has Fans in Tears - Here's What You Need to Know
The venue, with a capacity of 4,400, is expected to be packed with fans ready to show their love and support for the idol one last time before he dons the uniform.
For those in the fandom, this isn't just another event-it's the end of an era. Presale tickets go live for Astro's official fan club members on Wednesday evening, and the general sale opens Thursday. You can almost hear the collective sound of keyboards smashing as fans rush to secure their spots.
A Star Who Never Stopped Shining
Even with enlistment looming on July 28, Cha Eunwoo hasn't slowed down. He's been everywhere-wrapping up the Korean leg of Astro's tour, prepping for two massive concerts at the Mizuho PayPay Dome in Fukuoka, and starring in a VR-immersive film, "Cha Eun-woo VR Concert: Memories," currently showing in Korean theaters and soon to hit screens in over 20 countries. Talk about a packed schedule!
It's a classic K-pop move: work hard, play hard, and make sure your fans have enough memories to last through the military hiatus. For Indian youth who've grown up watching their favorite Bollywood stars take career breaks for personal reasons, this kind of dedication is next-level. Imagine if your favorite actor threw a massive party before heading off for a two-year sabbatical-now that's fan service!

Fans have watched him grow from a boy band rookie to a full-blown superstar, and now they're preparing for nearly two years without new music, dramas, or Insta updates. The July 12 event is more than just a meet and greet; it's a collective hug, a chance to say "see you soon" rather than "goodbye."
For many, it's a reminder of the sacrifices K-pop idols make, balancing fame, personal growth, and national duty. The fact that Cha is making time for this final event shows how much he values his fans-a sentiment that resonates deeply with young people everywhere.
Why This Goodbye Hits Different
There's something universally relatable about big farewells. Whether it's a college buddy leaving for a job abroad or your favorite cricketer taking a break, we all know the bittersweet feeling. Cha Eunwoo's last fan meet is a moment of shared emotion, not just for Korean fans but for anyone who's ever had to say goodbye to someone they admire.
And let's not forget the sheer scale-4,400 fans in one hall, all cheering, crying, and making memories.
If you convert the average ticket price (say, 100,000 KRW) to Indian Rupees, that's about ₹6,000 per ticket, making it a premium but unforgettable experience for those lucky enough to attend.
Cha Eunwoo's journey is a reminder that fame comes with its own set of challenges, but also with moments that bring people together. Here's hoping his military service is safe and smooth and that the memories from "THE ROYAL" fan meet will keep everyone going until he's back on stage.
This moment feels like the end of a season in a favorite show-bittersweet, nostalgic, and full of hope for what comes next. Fans in Seoul and around the world will be counting the days until Cha Eunwoo returns, ready to create new memories all over again.

Wiaan Mulder aborted Mission 400. Could any Indian batter do the same?
In a world where most people won't even walk away from free Wi-Fi, Wiaan Mulder casually turned his back on cricketing Monday at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, with Zimbabwe's bowlers bowling like they'd just finished a double shift on the field, Mulder was on 367*. The pitch was flatter than your neighbour's sense of humour, the sun was shining, time was on his side, and history had quietly taken a seat at the edge of the Lara's 400*? Within reach. And what did Mulder do?He looked at the scoreboard, gave history a polite nod, and went off to start He gave up a shot at the highest individual Test score ever to go and mop up does that?Honestly, in cricket's glittering history of stat-padding, milestone-chasing, and "just 50 more, skip," this is a once-in-a-lifetime event. The cricketing gods were probably halfway through prepping the Mulder mural at Lord's before he said, "Right lads, let's get some wickets."And now, the million-dollar question: how many Indian cricketers would have done what Mulder did?Let's be honest. Not many. Maybe a couple. But not loves cricket like Italians love pasta. But where Italians eat it, Indians worship it. Our cricketers are demigods. A square cut for four becomes a spiritual experience. The sound of a ball hitting a bat is basically a lullaby to a billion milestones? Oh, we love a milestone or threw a party when Sachin reached 100 international hundreds - even though we lost that match. Broadcasters still show his 200* in ODIs like it happened last week. Meanwhile, Dravid once declared the innings in Multan with Tendulkar stranded on 194*. To this day, you can't say "Multan" in Mumbai without getting a dirty there have been a few Mulders in Indian Kohli, in 2019, was on 254* against South Africa. He could've had a triple ton for breakfast. But no - he declared. That was pure Kohli: job done, let's get to work. (Never mind he retired before hitting 10,000 Test runs. He was never about the stat chase anyway - more like, "Win the match, look good doing it.")MS Dhoni? Oh, he's the patron saint of selflessness. In the 2014 T20 World Cup semi-final, he defended the last ball so Virat could hit the winning runs. Not Test cricket, sure, but still. That's the man who walked off into retirement in the middle of a Test series without even a farewell match. Try getting an Indian fan to forgive the BCCI for Gavaskar, on the other hand? He stuck around for that sweet 10,000-run landmark—and fair play to him. He was the first to get there, and it this is the thing - in Indian cricket, individual brilliance is a form of team service. Tendulkar scoring a hundred felt like India winning, even if we lost. Kohli batting like a machine gave everyone hope. Dhoni finishing games? That was Wiaan Mulder, that lad, just tore up the script. Wiaan Mulder enters the history books with a stunning 367* against Zimbabwe #ZIMvSA | : ICC (@ICC) July 7, 2025He scored a triple hundred on his debut as captain. Pushed past 350 like it was a Sunday jog. And when 400 was right there, at touching distance, he stepped back and said, "That's enough. Let's go bowl."Imagine what Twitter would do if an Indian batter did that. The poor guy's WhatsApp would explode. #Just50MoreBro would be trending for a four-day Tests creeping in and draws being hunted to extinction, this might be the last time we see a batter get this close to Lara's 400*. And to see someone walk away from it? It's both beautiful and totally the end, Mulder's name might not be etched next to Lara's in the record books, but you can bet your last slice of stadium samosa that cricket fans won't forget what he chose not to sometimes, the most unbelievable stories in cricket are the ones where a player says, "No thanks. I've done enough."- Ends

Anoushka Shankar says father's demise gave her space to speak about abuse: 'I lost my greatest musical collaborator'
Renowned sitar player Anoushka Shankar is opening up about how the passing of her father and mentor, the legendary Pandit Ravi Shankar , in December 2012, deeply affected her. In an interview with Barkha Dutt, Anoushka stated, 'So I lost my greatest musical collaborator, I lost my teacher, and then of course we had this Grammy experience going on. There was also a whole other aspect happening for me, which I connected to major life events that, technically, weren't related." At a time the round the nation was reeling in shock over the Nirbhaya case . Speaking about the same, she recalled, "Five days after my father passed away, the Nirbhaya attack happened. I was already deep in the grief of losing my father when that news broke. And so, for me, I can never think about one without the other, because they both intensified something within me, this trauma bubble of grief, anger, and outrage. It was all one thing, really.' Shankar said that it was a time when her personal grief and the country's anger over the Nirbhaya case came together, creating a wave of intense emotions. Known for her bold music and strong voice on social issues, she admitted that the closeness of these two events left a deep and lasting impact on her mind. She further openly spoke about how people often thought her life was easy just because she was the daughter of the legendary Ravi Shankar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Many assumed she had a privileged life and an easy start in music. But she said the truth was very different and much more complicated. 'I had a very fortunate upbringing. I had a lot of incredible things in my life. But one of the narratives that, as a human and as a young woman in the press, used to rankle me was this idea that I'd just had a charmed life, that I had a silver spoon, that nothing bad had ever happened to me, and that I'd just swanned into this industry. And you know, sexual abuse… as I say, everyone has a spectrum. It's not like that was the only thing. But when you carry a big wound like that, and it's a secret, it feels very disjointed from how you're seen, compared to how you actually feel as a human being.' Looking back, Anoushka said that the timing of her decision to speak publicly about her personal experiences may have been influenced by her father's death. She felt that after he passed away, she had more freedom to share her story openly. While her father was aware of what she had gone through, she felt that any pain he might have felt from her speaking about it publicly was no longer a concern. At that time, she was deeply grieving and wasn't thinking too much. She also reflected on how the Nirbhaya case became a major turning point, not just in her own life, but also in the global conversation about gender-based violence. She said it was the first time she could remember the entire world focusing on one story of sexual violence. According to her, it felt like a rare moment when people everywhere were united in outrage. She saw it as an important opportunity to raise awareness and believed that any effort, no matter how small, to keep the conversation going and make a difference, truly mattered. 'That narrative really showed me how much misapprehension there is around who this can happen to, and how universal it is. And so I knew that with my story, regardless of how much detail I chose to share or not share, if people thought of me as the person with the silver spoon, the person who had it all, then for me to say, 'Uh-uh, me too. This happens everywhere. This can happen to anyone,' that felt really important to me, she added to the conversation. "
