With his undeniable good looks and seemingly limitless charms, Cha Eun Woo will surely make you swoon that it no longer surprised us that his first ever solo fan meeting in Manila was a sold-out show — filled with his adoring fans who have waited three years to see him once again on the local concert stage.

Hundreds of fans flocked the New Frontier Theater on October 26 for the Manila leg of the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> which saw him visit five cities in Asia including Hong Kong, Taipei, Bangkok, and Kuala Lumpur. Manila served as the second to the last stop of his fan meeting tour.

And because we can’t get enough of the ASTRO member and that memorable night, we relive the pak na pak moments that got us falling head over heels with Cha Eun Woo over and over again.

#1 Yi Rim, we mean Cha Eun Woo, serenading Arohas in hanbok

Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung may be over, wrapping its 40-episode run in September after almost two months, but Cha Eun Woo will not let us move on. The ASTRO member brought Yi Rim, his character in the drama, to the Philippines as he channels the prince during his opening number!

Dressed in hanbok (Korean traditional clothing), Cha Eun Woo serenaded the crowd with “Please Remember”, his official soundtrack for the drama. During the talk portion, the singer-actor revealed that the hanbok he wore is the same hanbok he wore during the filming of the drama.

#2 Going back in time to pre-debut Cha Eun Woo with the CHApago Challenge

In case you did not know, a little over a month before debuting as a member of ASTRO in 2016, Cha Eun Woo participated in the well-known entertainment program Star Golden Bell Challenge. Although he used his real name Lee Dong Min, the show’s host still found out his stage name.

Fast forward to three years after, Lee Dong Min is now known worldwide as ASTRO’s vocalist and the face genius Cha Eun Woo. Still, despite his huge popularity all over the world, the singer-actor used his fan meeting as an opportunity to look back on his Star Golden Bell Challenge stint through the CHApago Challenge where his memory was tested.

It was truly a nostalgic moment because he also wore the same style of clothing he donned back then — complete with the red cap!

#3 When he re-enacted a scene from Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung!

We screamed “cute”! The ASTRO member was too adorable for words when he re-enacted his reaction in the drama after getting a kiss on the cheek from Goo Hae Ryung, played by Shin Se Kyung.

Asked if he is also as thoughtful as his character Yi Rim in real life to the extent that he prepares meals for others, he said he cooks ramyeon for his members. But given the chance, he wants to cook traditional Korean food for his fans with the message “Mahal ko kayo“. *melts

#4 Every time he talks about his members

We felt how much Arohas miss ASTRO and their desire to see the boys stand on the Philippine concert stage again because every time Cha Eun Woo mentions his members, the crowd goes wild! But more so, we felt the close bond and affection of the boys through the stories the singer-actor shared about them.

According to him, their leader Jin Jin takes care of them well that when eating out, he usually grills the meat for them. Without Jin Jin, Cha Eun Woo takes the initiative to grill the meat because the rest of the members don’t really know how to do it. He went on to say that Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha told him to meet Arohas well during his fan meeting tour. (Excuse us while we cry in the corner for a minute.)

#5 That swoon-worthy “Love Yourself” performance with a piano

Cha Eun Woo reminded us of how talented he is when he performed Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself”. Giving his own rendition to the song, the singer-actor impressed with his piano skills and sweet voice. It was a cute and romantic moment, with fans gamely singing along and lightsticks up in the air forming a beautiful ocean.

#6 Surprising Arohas with “Kathang Isip” song number

Probably the highlight of the night, Cha Eun Woo made everyone’s jaw-drop when he started singing along to the familiar melody — Ben & Ben’s “Kathang Isip”! It was a beautiful moment that overwhelmed us with so much feels and admiration for him. Arohas were deeply touched by the effort he put into learning the song and singing it beautiful. Come on! What can’t Cha Eun Woo do?

#7 Melting us once again with his aegyo

We are weak for shy Cha Eun Woo to be honest. What started as a confident display of basketball skills — he got 16 shots in *applause applause* — came the failed showcase of soccer skills — it was the basket’s fault, right, Eun Woo? Although he failed to fulfill his mission of getting seven balls in by kicking in the time allotted, we are not, in any bit, complaining because we got cute Cha Eun Woo!

The ASTRO member was all shy to do the aegyo penalty (He was so cute while being shy trying to be cute). But for his Arohas, he did it, not once, not twice, but thrice!

#8 Making a special dreamcatcher for Arohas to get good sleep

The treats for his beloved Arohas did not end with the “Be Mine” aegyo because he had more up his sleeves. For his fans to get a good night sleep, he made two dreamcatchers! “I made this so that you will have good dreams in your sleep and not have nightmares,” he said. *gets kilig over and over again

Two lucky fans took home the dreamcatchers and we are 100 percent sure they will have the best sleeps!

#9 Bringing more colors to the night with a performance of “Rainbow Falling”

On his final song number that night, Cha Eun Woo took us back to the drama got us believing that a handsome guy will love us regardless of our physical appearance. The singer- actor, who received much love for his character as Do Kyung Seok in the drama My ID is Gangnam Beauty, performed “Rainbow Falling”, his original soundtrack for the JTBC drama.

#10 Promising to come back

Although we officially said our farewell to Cha Eun Woo that night, we are holding on to his promise that he will come back! And we are keeping our fingers crossed that the next time he comes to the Philippines, he will be with Jin Jin, MJ, Moonbin, Rocky, and Sanha because we surely need an ASTRO solo concert soon!

We are capping off this list with that hopeful wish while also smiling from ear-to-ear as we remember all those kilig moments from the 2019 CHA EUN WOO FIRST FAN MEETING <JUST ONE TEN MINUTE> at the New Frontier Theater last October 26.
