Fuckin unreal smdh

Baby: light blue car

Visual 3/6

@jakganim (in a fic LOL but it was FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY PUNY LIL HEART) said once that Eunwoo’s as beautiful outside as he is on the inside and honestly i’ve never heard a sentence that describes eunwoo so perfectly 

in short, a heart as radiant and beautiful as he appears????

Researches everything bc he’s a diligent and worried bub

Whatever shows he goes on???? He researches them 

researched every single person going on law of the jungle and also researched what the climate was going to be like and how to build different things 

researched the MCs he was going on with when he went on Happy Together 3 and got exposed they read his unfiltered notes out loud in detail he got so shy ajsdfhlaskjd

researched everyone in crime scene 3 because he didn’t want to make a fool of himself 

got so nervous about variety show training programme bc they didn’t let him know who was going to be on the show with him so he couldn’t research them

puts so much effort into things what the fuck ! 

Real Name: Lee Dong Min 

Nickname: Buttmin (Lee Dongmin: 이동민) where second letter 동 sounds similar to the second letter in butt (엉덩이) because he thought he had a big butt asjdhlfakjsd

he can spell his name with his butt thanks variety show training

Actor 

Was MJ in The Best Hit/Hit the Top (and the members made jokes about it)

had a thing with the members where they’d call him Fake MJ 

Starred in their webdrama To Be Continued as the “lead” but not really (cries forever)

Was part of a miniseries called “Replies that Make us Flutter” where they took send-in answers for topics and incorporated them into short drama episodes. 

Bin starred in one with him as well. He tried to be a bad boy that hated Eunwoo. It was not convincing.

Won Male CF Star at the MTN Broadcast CF Festival

He’s currently in Revenge Note as the “leader” of Astro, it’s weird

#SmartBoi

goes to Sungkyungkwan uni, prestigious uni in SK

was also the top 3rd student in his school AND was student body president in middle school i’m truly weeping

Introduced on a few shows with the hashtag #차파고 (Cha-pha Go, a spin on Alpha Go) because he’s so damn diligent and detailed 

Also went on 1 v 100 with bin and mj but he got into the finals/semi-finals WOW WE STAN BRAINS AND BEAUTY 

Knows japanese and chinese and is nearly fluent in english bless his heart

Also speaks Chinese because his younger brother studies in China

DONGHWIIIIIIIIIIIII

Cute as fuck during new year’s when the rest of astro were in the fantz celebrating new year’s he went home to visit his brother bc he came back from china so he video called into vapp

I need to stop saying fantz someone shoot me i started ironically and now i can’t stop

Once upon a time was in the jungle with Yuri, apparently picked up aegyo there

Gets made fun of all the time by astro for the aegyo asjdfkhlskjd they make him sing the aegyo song literally every time 

And they annoy him by singing it too

Always gets iconic lines / killing parts in songs 

내꺼할래 !! (wanna be mine?)

같이 갈래? (let’s go together?)

Iconic line in polaris

Here’s a compilation you didn’t know you needed

Again made fun of by astro for doing the 같이 갈래

That one astro play where he’s just talking and then lil bitches sanha and jinjin pop up behind him and go 같이 갈래!!! and he just looks so done

The centre of all of Astro’s arm symbol formations 

Makes sure that you know who he is (bc he’s cHa-A e-EUN Wu-UU *thumps chest*) 

This ALSO gets mimicked by the other members, and poor boy tried to chug a soda and do this as well but ended up burping on camera as a result ;v;

Also the stiffest dancer my poor son

Got sent on some programme for idols who can’t dance it was Hilarious

But he also put so much effort into it i’m rly crying he made sure to get help from rocko in dancing the choreography right ;;;;

And he’s improved so much i’m !!!!!! so proud he puts in so much effort and he works so hard and he practices so much fuck i’m emo 

Literally ??? is perfect whatever he says his bad sides are are actually good points smdh 

Was asked once if there was anything he couldn’t do, to which he replied that he wasn’t good at relationships and the MC replied that wtf it just made him more attractive

farewell i am on the floor crying 

oh right okay yes one bad side:

MINIONS 

Smdh he loves them so much

The glasses he wore in the cicada video

that one video of them playing with the minion helicopter

that MINION HAT

160108 DDOCA when they’re playing with the minion blanket and jinjin opens it up and promptly looks horrified  

What the hell is this

European Bagel: once said he was eating an ‘european bagel’ on ok!ready episode 1 if anyone knows what that means pls let us know

He gets anxious about being a burden to astro

Talked about it in Astro Project watch at your own risk I cried

Listen he does so much he juggles acting and photoshoots for CFs and astro promotions he’s constantly trying to improve himself he’s never a burden and if there's one member in all of astro i want to hug and just !! tell him he's okay and that everything will be okay and tell him that he’s perfect and that he’s enough and deserves love it’d be Eunwoo for me ;;;;;;;;

Also Eunwoo: (sits quietly) / 5stro: let’s fuck with him

was playing with the ducks when jinjin and sanha come up behind him and screamed lmao he nearly fell on his face

A compilation or two… or three of Eunwoo being bothered by the other members lolol

Once Jinjin had to pull a secret camera on him and tell him that Astro accidentally broke a camera and without hesitating he offered to pay the full 1.5k$ that camera was worth adsfjkasd what a pure gullible bean ;A;

ICONIC BASEBALL DDOCA THAT SLAYED ALL THE BINU STANS THERE EVER WERE i’m writing this from the grave

Cutest whine? He goes like aaAAa or something like that idk but he does it when he gets annoyed it’s the cutest thing ;;;;;

Literally the (^▽^) face

Mouth opens up into a really wide triangle, width depends on how embarrassed he gets

My favourite laugh in the entire universe

heck I’m so in love,,,

LOVES KIDS 

during one ASC a baby came on and asked all of astro to go to their house to play for christmas eunwoo got out of his seat right away he was 1000% ready to run out of the studio and hop on that airplane

Actually a lil bitch lmao 

“Haha u were going 2 sleep?? Nah stay up & watch me on vlive fam”

Makes fun of hyung line’s height i live for this 

After arohas missed the “MJ” during the first fanchant he joked saying “why don’t y’all just come in on ‘jinjin’ instead?” #LetMJLive2k17 also #LetArohasLive2k17

Voice like moonlight 

Need him singing??? Here

Titles his v-lives “차은우의 Just one 10 minutes” but they’re never 10 minutes they’re nearly an hour long 

His voice is just really really soothing and comforting and if you ever need something to calm you down when you’re upset or if you need a background voice for when you’re studying here he is

Singing voice has improved so so so so so so much from Spring Up, his live singing shakes me to the core

Also sang opera in ASC so really hoo boy he’s improved so much I’m so !!! :’)

Literally can we pause and take a moment to appreciate his baby photos I looked like a rat when I was younger and here he is, snatching, 

My favourite baby ever ajkdlhsfakjsdf i lovE

Did some modelling campaigns pre-debut 

Shara Shara

I bet you needed all these pictures in your life

Cute lotion video :’)

Still king of CFs he recently did a baskin robbins one (with Yoo Seung Ho)

It’s pretty funny

He’s so cute what the heck

After the whole thing, he got addicted to ice cream; he mentioned in a vlive that at some point he could just eat sandwiches and ice cream the whole day

But fantagio also probably feeds all of astro ice cream for breakfast so really,  

A Lafuma ad with Seolhyun (AOA) 

A Polham ad with Doyeon (Weki Meki)

A Ceci spread with Doyeon too!! 

A Lotte Water Park ad with Sejeong (Gugudan)

Won an award for best male CF smdh 

Wears frickin glasses and makes everyone cry 

That one DDOCA where it’s him preparing for a hit the top shooting I would like you to know that this is coming to you from the grave

Got scouted by a Fantagio recruiter when he was in middle school, then bugged into joining the fantz

He was the school president, in the top three of the entire school, wanted Seoul National University to become a judge bless his fuckin heart

Apparently rejected Fantagio the first couple times they asked, but gave in bless him thank god

Astro claimed pre-debut walking anywhere with him meant everyone doing double-takes

Re-enacted on ok!ready: sanha and mj talking in a coffeeshop then stopping and sTARING THE FUCK OUT OF EUNWOO LMAO

Literally blew up on male-dominated sites for being PRETTIER THAN THE FEMALE MCs AT SHOW!MUCORE

So pretty that Hello Venus thought he was prettier than them when starring in their video

Some weibo arohas describe him as the kind of handsome where “even if you’re already married, you’d still take a second glance at him if you passed by him on the street” ("那种虽然有老公了但是对路过的帅哥还是想多看两眼的感觉") I 10000% agree 

weibo arohas also call him "车车" car car / cha cha i'm fuckinjasdfkjdf

In case you wanted a heart attack

Labelled a “Face Genius”, but wants to be acknowledged for more than his looks

“Someone who’s more reliable than anyone else and who always gives his all to the people he treasures, who’s very hard on himself and there are times where it gets too much but because of that, he’s someone who’s detailed and earnest.” (creds to @astrotranslations)

Dony on Weekly Idol called Rowoon (SF9) a face genius once but Rowoon politely deferred and said that title belonged to Cha Eunwoo :’)

Said once in an interview that he’d take whoever he likes out to dinner, give them a necklace then confess asdjfhlaskjd a true romantic bby

Also said that he was an “FM” boyfriend (field manual) asjdhflaksjd my heart is weak don’t attack me like this

You know what, Binu gets a section to themselves smdh 

Just so you know, arohas didn’t come up with the name ‘Binu’, they came up with it (”Team Soap”) themselves 

explained it by saying 빈 (Bin) + 우 (Woo) = 비누 (Soap)

Roommates!!

Picked each other in OK!Ready and have been living in the same room ever since 

in the recent Night Night show they did Eunwoo said that if he could pick roommates again, he’d still pick Bin 

Is apparently scentless to Bin 

Smdh we all know what habituation is it’s bc he smells Eunwoo too much Eunwoo doesn’t have a specific smell anymore

Also together like 24/7 stuck to each other’s side if you’re looking for eunwoo ever just look for bin you’ll find him there

Bin claims Eunwoo is the most beautiful creature on earth tbh same 

“Is he really human? How can someone that looks like him exist?”

Eunwoo thinks Bin is the most handsome too I love supportive friendships ;u;

IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN WAKE BIN UP AMAZING

Literally though sanha and jinjin posted a twitter video of them trying to wake bin up it doesn’t work it apparently only works when eunwoo gets him to wake up 

Sleeps through sanha and jinjin prodding him but wakes up when eunwoo starts talking in a vlive

Bin said in the harper’s bazaar interview that he doesn’t wake up when the manager calls him to get up but his eyes naturally open when he hears Eunwoo sighing (creds to @astrotranslations)

Bin’s mom even sent in a concern to hello counsellor bc he wouldn’t stop sleeping and couldn’t wake up so really… eunwoo = magic?

Want more Binu? Here, here and here!

Friends with Mingyu from Seventeen

Mingyu called him once for advice on what to bring to the jungle since he too was going on law of the jungle

Said in Night Night that he gets cold really easily

Yet in OK!Ready (as pointed out by @jinwoostro) he stood outside waiting for Jinjin and Sanha to come even though he was freezing ;u; 

A sweetheart!! Who cares so much !!!! for other members!!!!!!

Listen this boy works so hard and he does so much for a 20 year old: he models, he acts, he’s learning 3 other languages for Aroha, he handles university courses AND he still keeps up with astro’s promotions I’m really crying he’s worked so hard he deserves the world

Im rly fukcing criyng i gotta sotp i love this boy,

Phil Mickelson nearly halts victory drought as Tiger Woods makes progress and Rory McIlroy goes 0-for-2017

Three of golf’s superstars — Phil, Tiger, and Rory — are at crossroad in their careers. Where do they go from here?

Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy walk on to a golf course.

That’s no joke, considering one superstar seemed washed up and over the hill until team play with the youngsters put a giddyup up in his step, another has not actually trod a golf track in competition since January but went slo-mo to prove he’s prepping for a return, and the third is stuck in “neutral” after only the second winless season of his 10-year career.

Just “a matter of time” before Phil hoists another trophy.

First, Phil, who came oh so close to winning his first PGA Tour event in more than four years, despite barely finding a fairway in his T3 finish last week at the Safeway Open (his best result since coming in second at the 2016 British Open).

Of course, Lefty being far left or right of the short grass is hardly news, so hitting just 15 of 56 fairways in Napa to kick off the 2017-2018 tour season was pretty much par for the course. Also not unusual for the popular southpaw is his ability to laugh at himself, which he did in comical fashion after his drive on the par-5 16th at Silverado Resort in Sunday’s finale actually went down the middle.

TFW you've hit 15 of 54 fairways on the week. #QuickHits http://pic.twitter.com/QU1VqEthvZ

Mickelson, or “Grandpa” Phil, as his youthful U.S. Presidents Cup teammates referred to the 47-year-old five-time major champ, was so rejuvenated by going 3-0-1 during Team USA’s rout of the Internationals a week ago that he knows his 43rd tour win is just around the corner — or maybe half a world away.

“Well, I'm going to win. It's a matter of time,” Mickelson told reporters after a 4-under 68 in Saturday’s third round at the Safeway. “I don't know if it’s tomorrow. I don't know if it's in China. But it's going to happen. It's going to happen soon because I'm starting to play well enough to do it.”

Mickelson plans to “get a few things ironed out” before teeing it up later this month at the WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, where he owns two Ws (2007 and 2009).

One guy who has no doubt that Phil will enter the winner’s circle again — not only in regulation play but at a major — is his erstwhile caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay.

“He’s in good enough shape and he has the desire and he’s already shown that he has the game. I think that he has a great chance to win another [major],” Mackay told SB Nation during last month’s Dell Technologies Championship. “I think that he’ll absolutely win another major … I think he’ll do something like Jack Nicklaus did late in his career. He’ll win a major later on and surprise a lot of people.”

Feherty’s concerned for Tiger’s “quality of life.”

You know who would stun even a whole lot more people if he won another major — or made his way back to competition at all? Tiger Woods, of course.

Not even two weeks after conceding his playing career could be over, Woods posted another video along the lines of his “progressing nicely” recording from last year — and we all know how that went.

— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) October 7, 2017

His slow-motion full swing was something of a breakthrough considering he told us recently he was able only to hit 60-yard shots, though it’s unclear what iron he used in his most recent transmission.

Count Woods’ good friend, NBC/Golf Channel commentator David Feherty, among those a tad wary about another Tiger comeback.

“I worry about his quality of life. He’s had four back surgeries and I just don't want to see him hurt himself anymore,” Feherty said from TPC Boston, where he and Mackay sat down with SB Nation during Saturday’s second round. “It’s not like he has anything to prove but he just loves to compete, he adores the game. He obviously does, otherwise he wouldn't put himself through this.”

Should Woods actually make it all the way back to the tour without further health concerns (a big “if,” considering his injury-plagued history), Feherty believes the winner of 14 major titles will “absolutely” add a 15th to his resume — though he could not imagine Tiger ever playing the way he did at his peak.

“I don’t think you’re going to see the kind of golf that we saw in the early part of this century and the end of the last,” he said, referring to Woods’ glory days. “My children won't see golf like that and their children might not see golf like that.”

Woods, 41, made his last competitive stroke nine months ago at the end of an opening-round 77 at the Dubai Desert Classic. He quit the event the next day and ended up having a fourth back operation in April.

“Not much happening” with Rory.

Speaking of injuries — Rory McIlroy would no doubt prefer not to follow his boyhood hero down that particular road.

The owner of four major championships finished tied for 63rd at last week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championships in a discouraging end to his 2017 season — the second campaign in two years in which injuries took their toll. There was that pick-up soccer game that ended with ruptured ligaments in his left ankle, while this year’s fractured rib put him out of action for some time.

Now, the 28-year-old who was hyped as the “next Tiger Woods” after crushing the course and his opponents on his way to the 2011 U.S. Open title, will stow his TaylorMade clubs (which he switched to after Nike announced it was leaving the gear biz) for six weeks and try to figure out how to revive his stalled career.

“My last round of 2017 sort of summed up all of 2017: Not much happening, good or bad,” McIlroy told reporters after closing out the year with an even-par 72 in the European Tour contest. "Couldn't get out of neutral.”

McIlroy has plunged to No. 6 in the world after a stint at the top of the world golf rankings and looks up at top dog Dustin Johnson as well as a raft of young’uns — Jordan Spieth, Hideki Matsuyama, Justin Thomas, and Jon Rahm — who have made the Ulsterman something of an afterthought.

With his most recent major win coming way back in 2014 at the PGA Championship, McIlroy said he needed time to evaluate his game and figure out how to get back on top.

"I feel I'm a much better player than I was in 2011 and 2012, when I was able to win a couple of majors," McIlroy said. "I feel I can do better than that in the next 10 years and that's why these next three months are very important for me to put some really good things in place, step away and just reassess where I'm at and where I need to be.”

The old man among the Millenials (Spieth’s 24, Matsuyama 25, and Rahm 22) acknowledged that the competition has gotten steeper even in the relatively short time since he won his first grand slam tournament at Congressional.

"The landscape of the game has changed a bit since I started to win majors. You have young, hungry guys now who are fearless and playing the game how I basically came out and played a few years go,” he said. “It’s about gaining an advantage again here and there. Just reassessing everything and making sure I'm not leaving any stone unturned and do everything I can to get back to [being] the best player in the world.”

With plans to “rehab and getting my body right,” McIlroy will put the sticks away until the end of November, when he will focus on sharpening his wedge play and putting in particular. He added, though that “basically all areas of my game could get a little bit better.”
