Singer and actor Cha Eun-woo has set a historic record as the first Asian artist at the 'MTV Video Music Awards Japan.'

The 'MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2023' (hereafter 'MTV VMAJ 2023') took place on the 22nd at the Japan K-Arena Yokohama. Cha Eun-woo was honored with the 'Global Icon Award' on that day.

He became the first Asian artist to win in this category. Cha Eun-woo expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thanks to Aroha (fandom) for sending so much support and love, I was able to receive this precious award," and promised to repay the support.

Cha Eun-woo illuminated the ceremony with a special stage. He presented a newly arranged performance of the Japanese song 'Say Goodbye To The Person You Love Most,' released in 2021, touching the hearts of fans.

Cha Eun-woo has been actively participating globally, conducting solo fan meetings in five Asian countries, including Korea and Japan, last year. He communicated with around 50,000 global fans.

As an actor, he has also made strides. Currently, he plays the lead role of Jin Seo-woon in the MBC-TV drama 'A Good Day To Be A Dog.' The drama ranked first in the first week's public rankings in 93 countries, including the United States and Europe.

On the other hand, Cha Eun-woo will release the photo book 'Cha Eun-woo (Astro) 2023 Official Photo Book,' shot in Los Angeles, USA, on the 28th of next month. He plans to meet fans through various activities in the future.
