While Jang appeared to take most of these comments in stride, one comparison in particular seemed to hit a nerve: being likened to ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo.
Known as one of the most visually stunning figures in Korean entertainment, Cha Eunwoo is often celebrated as the gold standard of beauty in the industry. For many, such comparisons are a compliment.

Hours after the initial post went viral, Jang responded with another Instagram update to address the overwhelming reaction. Sharing a follow-up photo, he apologised to Eunwoo when addressing fans’ questions.
The response is hotter than I expected! I appreciate all the various reactions like “Were you hacked?”, “Is this AI?”, “Is this deepfake?”, “What did you get done?” However, comments suggesting I look like Cha Eunwoo are quite disrespectful to him. I’m sorry, but please refrain from making such comparisons.
