Recently, a video of a person getting mobbed was virally passed around on the internet with attached claims that the person was ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo. Many suspected that the person looked like the idol and since the video was filmed in Brazil, where the idol has upcoming schedules, the rumors gained further justifications to spread.
The video showcased a man in a pink sweater being mobbed in front of a mall. As the mob gets dangerously crowded, the person can be seen breaking away from the mob and entering a restaurant momentarily. Following the land of the video, Cha Eun-woo's fans immediately began criticizing the Brazilian crowd and also.
However, the rumors were soon put to rest when netizens clarified that it wasn't ASTRO's Cha Eun-woo. It was rather a Spanish influencer named, Cry, @cry_thereal. The video was apparently shot a few weeks ago in front of a Peru mall that expected a visit from the influencer. Cry was scheduled to visit the mall to inaugurate his collaboration with Vans.
However, the fans who gathered to see him eventually began to form a dangerous mob. While the video was talked about with his fans, when it reached netizens outside his fandom, K-pop fans misunderstood him for Cha Eun-woo.
Regardless, the K-pop idol will be visiting Brazil very soon. It was also revealed that the idol sold out all tickets to his upcoming show in Brazil.
The idol's ongoing solo world tour holds a date in Sao Paulo on June 1 at Vibra Sao Paulo. The event is not just a concert that has the idol performing tracks from his recently released solo debut album, ENTITY, but also combines a fan meeting. This means that the idol also takes time in between the performances to interact with fans, answer their questions, play games, etc.
