Netizens discussed why they thought ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo wasn't taken in by one of the "big three" entertainment agencies, which includes SM, JYP, and YG Entertainment, despite his impressive visuals and physique.

On October 31, one netizen created an online community forum post titled, "Why was Cha Eun Woo unable to go to SM, YG, or JYP?" Here, the netizen further wrote, "With his visuals and physique alone, even if he didn't have any talent, he could have easily gone into NCT, TREASURE, or Stray Kids..."

In response, some of the netizens' comments included:

"It's not that he couldn't go, it's that Fantagio kidnapped him."

"It's basically kidnapping. Before he knew any better, [Fantagio] convinced him and quickly took him in."

"If he went to SM, he probably would have been unable to go to college and it would have been the worst. I think it's best for someone who has his 

own talents to go to a middle-sized company."

"SM is a company that even lost actor Won Bin."

"Even if you say he has no talent, his visuals alone make him into a star."

"Thank god SM didn't mess his face up. If he went to SM, he would have a hundred percent done something to his face."

"I can't think of anyone else but Suzy and Cha Eun Woo, who really created a sensation with just their visuals alone."

"I hope Fantagio treats Cha Eun Woo really well. If I were the CEO Of Fantagio, I would treat Cha Eun Woo really well like my own son."

"Rather than becoming one of the many NCT members, it's better for him to just go to a middle-sized company."
