Astro’s Cha Eun-woo to begin military service in July

Cha Eun-woo of boy group Astro will enlist in the South Korean military July 28 and serve in the Army’s brass band, his agency said Thursday.

“Cha recently applied for a spot in the Army’s brass band and received his final acceptance notification from the Military Manpower Administration today,” the agency said in a release.
