Cha Eun Woo is set to fill his military hiatus with a new solo album.

On October 30, Fantagio released the scheduler image for Cha Eun Woo's second solo mini album ELSE through its official social media channels. The dynamic soundwave design immediately drew attention.

The timeline teases a variety of content — from an album preview on October 31 to a character story, tracklist, concept photos, and music video teasers. Some of the upcoming dates are marked with question marks and numbers, hinting at hidden surprises that will be unveiled in five stages before and after the album's release.

Cha Eun Woo enlisted in the Army band in July and completed a series of pre-enlistment projects, including his first solo mini album and fan-con tour. With ELSE, he continues an uninterrupted artistic journey.

Fantagio commented, "Cha Eun Woo is expanding his musical world as a solo artist. Please look forward to ELSE, which will be released on November 21 at 1 p.m. KST."

Meanwhile, Cha Eun Woo also stars in the recently released film First Ride, directed by Nam Dae Joong.
