On September 12, 2023, Cha Eun-woo went viral on social media when he unexpectedly appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards. This appearance was reported in an article by the New York-based media outlet Daily News, which covered the news of TXT performing at the event. In their story, they mistook Yeonjun, a member of TXT, as Cha Eun-woo and mentioned him in the caption instead.
Later, fans realized that the incorrect statement originated from the source, Getty Images, where the photographer confused Cha Eun-woo with Yeonjun. Soon, fans humorously reacted to the mishap on social media, noting that this wasn't the first time Cha Eun-woo had been mistaken for another group member.
He had previously been treated as a member of MONSTA X as well. They humorously stated that he worked in three groups- ASTRO, MONSTA X, and TXT, and was working hard.
