Singer and actor Cha Eun-woo's first VR concert is receiving rave reviews from audiences since its release.

'CHA EUN-WOO VR CONCERT: MEMORIES' was released on the 18th at CGV Yeonam and CGV Yongsan I-PARK MALL. This concert is an interactive romance fantasy genre with Cha Eun-woo as the main character. It is structured with an 'ending selection structure' where the audience directly selects objects or places that appear during the performance, and the emotional direction of the last scene changes depending on that choice.

The concert included the piano and jazz-based 'Only You', the acoustic song 'Fu*king great time', and the theme song 'Memories'.

Ahead of overseas screenings in Japan, China, Mexico, and other countries, interest from local fans is also continuing. Related hashtags and teaser videos are being shared on social media, and requests are also being made to expand the screening area.

Cha Eun-woo, who debuted as a member of the group Astro in 2016, has appeared in dramas such as “Island” and “Wonderful World.” His next works include the Netflix series “The Wonderfuls” and the film “First Ride.”
