On the afternoon of the 30th, Cha Eun-woo released the scheduler image of his second solo mini-album 'ELSE' (ELS) on his official SNS and began the countdown to the release.
The released image contains Cha Eun-woo's dark aura in pieces, creating a dreamy and tense mood. It also announced a variety of contents along with dynamic sound wave graphics of large and small waves, raising fans' expectations.
According to the scheduler, the preview of the physical album 'ELSE' will be released on the 31st, and pre-orders will begin at 2 p.m. on November 3 through various online sales outlets. The questionable content, which will be released sequentially five times before and after the release of the album, is marked with question marks, arousing curiosity.
At the same time, Cha Eun-woo delivers hints about new songs with two character stories of ELSE, tracklist, two concept photos, and music video teasers for the title song. It is expected to double the audiovisual joy by releasing the full sound source of 'ELSE' on November 21 and the main music video of the title song on the 24th.
Cha Eun-woo, who joined the army as a military band in July, continues his move without a gap through ELSE. The first mini-album released in February last year was greatly loved by iTunes' top album charts in 21 regions, topping the Worldwide charts, and recording initial sales of more than 210,000 copies. He then completed his fan-con tour of 11 cities in Asia and South America, "2024 Just One 10 Minute ', and 2025 solo fan meetings in Seoul and Tokyo, and communicated with global fans with active activities before joining the military.
Cha Eun-woo's second mini album 'ELSE', which will expand the music world as a solo artist, will be released on domestic and international music sites at 1 p.m. on November 21.
Meanwhile, the movie 'First Ride', in which Cha Eun-woo plays the role of compassion, has continued to be a box office cruise with favorable reviews from the audience since its release on the 29th.
