Stories from Cha Eun Woo’s military service are making everyone laugh online. A post recently shared by a user described a funny moment during his training. Apparently, a fellow soldier noticed something in Cha Eun Woo’s uniform pockets and asked him to show what he was carrying. Calm as ever, Cha Eun Woo admitted he had some plums from a meal. He explained that he was saving them to eat later when they were ripe, not realizing they were already ready to eat.
The instructor quickly corrected him and made a base-wide announcement about the plums. The conversation reportedly went like this:
Instructor: “What is in your pockets?”
Cha Eun Woo: “They’re plums!”
Instructor: “Why are you taking them instead of eating them?”
Cha Eun Woo: “I was going to eat them when they’re ripe.”
Instructor: “Those plums can be eaten right now.”
Cha Eun Woo: “Is that so? I wasn’t aware.”
Instructor: “Broadcast it right away!”
Broadcasting room: “Among the fruits prepared today, the plums may look unripe and green, but they are ripe, so they can be eaten right away.”
Fans found the situation hilarious and praised Cha Eun Woo for staying calm and honest. He enlisted at the end of July 2025 and is expected to finish his military service in January 2027.
