ASTRO's Eun Woo gave up this big dream to become an idol

A rep from Fantagio revealed on Monday 18, "While Cha Eun Woo was attending Suri Middle School, he was the school president, in the top three of the entire school, and he dreamed of entering Seoul National University to become a judge." However, Eun Woo decided to live a life in the limelight instead of climbing the ranks of the national judicial system when he was cast by a manager from Fantagio.

Eun Woo didn't make the decision so easily as it turns out. The manger failed to convince Eun Woo on the first try, but with persistence and several meetings with his parents Eun Woo eventually decided to enter the entertainment industry. 

Currently, Eun Woo is enrolled as a freshman at Sungkyunkwan University's Performance Arts Department, and more recently, he awed viewers with his smarts on '1 vs. 100.'
