'2024 Just One 10 Minute [Mystery Elevator]' is Cha Eun-woo's largest solo fan-con tour since his debut, with main performances in 10 cities in Asia and South America from February to July, followed by encore performances in Japan and Seoul. The curtain came to an end. At the encore performance in Seoul, the starting and ending point of the tour, Cha Eun-woo once again proved his true value as a 'performance artist' with a selection of songs that received a warm response from fans from all over the world, as well as a surprise stage and a corner with a unique concept.
On this day, Cha Eun-woo started with a rock version of the title song 'STAY' from his 1st solo mini album, followed by 'Fu*king great time', 'Alone with you', and 'You're the best'. He led a high-quality performance with solo songs such as '(Your the Best).' The stages of 'You're Blowing', 'Knock', and '10 Minutes', which were filled with performances that went back and forth between Cha Eun-woo's coolness and sexiness, also received an explosive response from fans.
In addition, Cha Eun-woo showed his ability to digest any genre by singing with his own color and emotion, from the ballad song 'All Your Moments' to the Japanese song 'Hanasake Mirai' and the pop song 'La Bamba'.
In the 'Return of Custom Call Center' segment with comedian Ra-ra Im as MC, Cha Eun-woo transformed into a call center employee and responded to fans' requests to call the lottery numbers, and the younger version's charming performances of 'Breathless' and 'Confession', and front teeth. They showed their unwavering love for their fans by showing off flirting and good night calls. There was also time to conduct situational dramas with fans through impromptu phone calls, drawing cheers. In the 'Constellation Storage' corner, a constellation symbolizing home was engraved, thinking of Aroha (fandom name), which became a sanctuary, to add warmth.
At the end of the performance, pop star Peder Elias appeared as a special guest and gave a surprise by passionately singing his representative song 'Loving You Girl'. In particular, Cha Eun-woo and Feather Elias heated up the scene by unveiling their unreleased new song 'Hey Hello' for the first time.
Regarding the collaboration with Cha Eun-woo, Feather Elias said, “This is a song I worked on in 2022, and I was finally able to present it today. He said, “Cha Eun-woo’s voice is amazing,” and Cha Eun-woo also said, “I was happy to be able to work together.”
At the end of the performance, Cha Eun-woo said, “Thanks to you, I was happy and joyful, and both sad and proud, to the extent that my worries and worries were meaningless. It was a time when my desire for work deepened, the side I wanted to show increased, and I was nourished in many ways. “You are my driving force,” he said. He also said, “I hope you will love and look kindly on our Astro members. “I hope you’ll think of me when the moon rises beautifully,” he said, sharing his lingering thoughts with fans.
Meanwhile, Cha Eun-woo released his first solo mini-album 'ENTITY' this year, and was also active as an actor, playing the main character in the dramas 'Lovely Dog Today' and 'Wonderful World'. Recently, he appeared in 'Water Bomb Seoul 2024' and attracted attention.
