ASTRO‘s Cha Eunwoo has recently been the target of malicious slander. Fans have already been up in arms about the matter.

It was thanks to his fans’ passionate efforts in voicing out their dissatisfaction that Fantagio has finally taken action. On April 25, 2025, Fantagio released an official statement, warning that they would be taking legal action.

Hello, this is Fantagio.

We are aware that malicious slander, defamation of our artists’ character and reputation, and the indiscriminate spread and reproduction of groundless rumors and harmful posts are spreading across social media and online communities.

We have been monitoring the situation carefully due to its sensitive nature, but due to the repeated malicious acts, we have determined that we can no longer overlook them and are preparing a strong legal response with no leniency.

Spreading false information or creating malicious posts under the veil of anonymity goes beyond simple criticism and constitutes a clear illegal act.

We are continuously collecting data on malicious posts directed at our artists, and the reports sent by fans are of great help. If you have any relevant materials, please send them to the email address below.

We would like to reiterate that we will respond strongly to any actions that infringe upon the rights of our artists, and we thank you once again for your continued interest and support.

— Fantagio

This is the first time that Fantagio has issued such a notice on Cha Eunwoo’s behalf in his nine years of career. Fans had previously sent funeral wreaths and trucks to the company.
