Cha Eun Woo plays Lee Un Jeong. One of the most popular actors who has never starred in a Netflix Original, he is incredibly popular, and fans are excited about his casting. He was previously a member of the K-pop group Astro, but since 2021, he has been a solo artist, releasing popular extended plays such as Entity and Else. His acting career has included starring in popular K-dramas such as My ID Is Gangnam Beauty, True Beauty, Rookie Historian Goo Hae Ryung, Island, and Wonderful World.
He began his mandatory military service on July 28, 2025, and isn’t expected to be discharged until January 2027. This means The WONDERfools will be the last time we see the actor in a K-drama for what could be up to three years!
