I am a believer in fate. If good things happen, I think it's meant to be. On the other hand, when bad things happen, I tell myself that it's the hardships now that will lead to a better future, instead of nitpicking at the cause and effect, says Cha Eun-woo, the 25-year-old South Korean actor and singer who recently added global ambassador for Burberry to his repertoire.
It's the kind of philosophical outlook and maturity that riddles his interview with BAZAAR-not that you'd expect anything less from someone who reportedly has an IQ of 142. A top student who was a student council president and sports team captain, Cha was working towards becoming a lawyer or judge when he was scouted at a school festival. Life was never the same after. In 2014, he played a minor role in the drama film My Brilliant Life, starring Song Hye-kyo and Gang Dong-won, before making his debut as a boyband member for Astro in 2016.
