“Honestly, Cha Eunwoo was really terrible at acting…
After this, he only took on quiet, cold roles where he barely talks, so it didn’t stand out as much. But he’s been consistently bad as hell. By my standards, he’s on the same level as Jisoo in Snowdrop, so I honestly found it strange that he didn’t get dragged more, and that he keeps landing movie roles and lead drama roles….
He absolutely can’t handle characters that require even a little emotional expression. He should only take roles that are blank-faced and emotionless. That’s the only way he doesn’t burn through what little appeal he has.
Seriously, he’s just a celebrity with a good face…”

- “Yeah. I haven’t watched a single thing Cha Eunwoo is in.”
- “His singing, dancing, and acting are all pretty meh, but he makes 100 billion won just because he has a good face lol.”
- “Personally, I can usually tolerate bad acting and still watch, but Cha Eunwoo was the first one I had to give up on because I just couldn’t handle it. I don’t know if that’s his real name or a stage name, but he’s not even Korean-Chinese, so why can’t he speak Korean properly?”
- “Even just seeing him in ads or variety shows, you could tell he wouldn’t be able to act. His expressions are unnatural, and he doesn’t seem to have any charisma. He has a face that’s only really suited for photoshoots. They pushed him into so many lead roles, and there are more than one or two dramas I couldn’t watch because of Cha Eunwoo.”
- “I remember the first time I saw him in a K-Drama. I immediately changed the channel. It looked like there was something wrong with his facial muscles. Even before talking about vocal delivery, his pronunciation and facial expressions themselves are extremely unnatural.”
