Cha Eun Woo is one of the most prominent entertainment artists, not just in Korea, but his influence spans across Asia. Known as the 'face genius' for his unparalleled beauty, he might have just earned himself a new moniker after his staggering capital gain from a Gangnam villa was reported.

On January 16, a K-media outlet reported that Cha Eun Woo's unit at Ville Polaris in Gangnam, Seoul, recorded a whopping 1 billion KRW rise in price in just three years. Back in 2021, the ASTRO member purchased the villa, situated in a very posh area. According to the reports, he paid 4.9 billion KRW entirely in cash. With the news of his recent capital gain, newspapers have started calling him the 'investment genius.'

He was only 24 when he purchased the penthouse, impressing fans with his wealth management skills. The reports stated that the villa has only one apartment unit per floor to allow maximum privacy. Cha Eun Woo's apartment is said to have four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It has also been reported that Park Min Young owns a unit at Ville Polaris as well.


On the work front, Cha Eun Woo is gearing up for his upcoming drama with Park Eun Bin. He will star in the superhero drama The Wonder Fools as the main character. The drama is expected to premiere this year or early 2026.
