Cha Eun-woo Releases Second Mini-Album 'Else' During Military Service

The pre-planned four-track project showcases a funk-forward shift with a staggered video rollout.

Overview

  • Else arrived on streaming platforms on Nov. 21 with select physical copies, led by the disco-infused single Saturday Preacher and its music video.
  • The EP spans four songs—Sweet Papaya, Saturday Preacher, Selfish, and Thinkin’ Bout U—touting pop-funk, retro disco, cinematic pop-trap, and ballad textures.
  • Fantagio and reports outline additional content, including a performance video for the lead track on Monday and a Sweet Papaya music video slated for Nov. 28.
  • Coverage describes the Saturday Preacher video as a concept-driven piece that contrasts lighter and darker personas to underscore his artistic reinvention.
  • Currently serving in the Army marching band after enlisting in July, Cha continues fan engagement through pre-planned releases, with one outlet reporting a January 2027 discharge.
