ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo Talks About His Trainee Years And Difficulties Of Weekly Evaluations

On the January 24 broadcast of SBS’s basketball variety show “Handsome Tigers,” ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo looked back on his time as a trainee.

During the show, Cha Eun Woo went on a camping trip with model Moon Soo In, actor Lee Tae Sun, and Yoo Seon Ho.

In the car, Cha Eun Woo and Yoo Seon Ho talked about the difficulties of having weekly and monthly evaluations. Lee Tae Sun said, “I don’t think I could handle the stress. And you could be dropped.” Yoo Seon Ho said, “That’s right. I was always really nervous about that.” He also revealed that his first ever weekly evaluation was to ASTRO’s “Hide & Seek.”

Cha Eun Woo said, “Looking back on when I was a trainee, rather than learning how to dance or sing or other skills, I learned patience and persistence.” Yoo Seon Ho agreed, saying that all trainees would probably say the same.

The idol first became a trainee in his first year of high school, and he said, “My home is in Sanbon, and when I was a trainee, I used to travel all the way to Sadang, transfer to Yeoksam, and take bus 147 to my agency in Seoul. I did that for four years.”
