ASTRO Cha Eunwoo's "Insecurity" Saved Him From A Dangerous Situation

Before we dive in any further, let us first admire ASTRO Cha Eunwoo‘s physique — sculpted to absolute perfection, like his equally flawless face. Oh, he’s gorgeous. There’s no doubt about it.

Yet even he had struggled to love every part of his body. In an episode of Knowing Bros, Cha Eunwoo spoke about his past “insecurity”; he has an “ori-goongdengi,” or — in direct translation — a “duck butt.” Though nicknamed with all the affection, Cha Eunwoo said his “duck butt,” or fluffier butt, made him feel self-conscious…until it saved him from a dangerous accident.

Cha Eunwoo recalled, “It happened while shooting a music video.” For the final scene of the music video, ASTRO members had to leap and land on a set built for that specific ending. Unfortunately, it became tricky for all six members to land at the same time. After what is assumed to be multiple attempts, the set collapsed beneath their feet.

When Cha Eunwoo fell, he felt something stab him, but then he was able to get up without too much trouble. It was only when his teammates pointed out that he was bleeding from his behind that he realized he had crashed onto a protruding nail!

Cha Eunwoo rushed to the hospital with his manager to seek treatment. The doctor, who came to check out the wound, said the idol-turned-actor couldn’t have been luckier! Fortunately, his behind — said to be “on the larger size,” according to Cha Eunwoo — provided the much-needed support to cushion the fall.

You’re lucky you have a big butt. The wound itself is deep, but since your butt has a lot of fat, the nail didn’t pierce far enough to reach any bones, muscles, or nerves.

So, while stab wounds as deep as the one he suffered would usually require stitches, Cha Eunwoo was able to skip the complicated procedures and simply return home after getting a tetanus shot!
