Cha Eun Woo on taking over the world, in his own way

COLOUR ME WILD

You’ve just returned from Egypt, where the Dior show was held. How was Giza? 

I was looking forward to it even before I left. It didn’t feel real until we were leaving, but when I saw the pyramids with my own eyes, they felt grand and mysterious. I got good energy from the experience. 

You wore turquoise-coloured knitwear for today’s photo shoot. You stood out at the show too. Tell us about your bold choices. 

I wanted to look different from how I looked at the Dior show I attended in Paris last September. You know, there are clothes that are better-looking when they are worn. Everyone agreed on this outfit. 

Compared to your other events, what felt new about this Dior show? 

It broadens my perspective when I experience other societies or cultures. It’s like breaking the mould, I should say. I need to experience new things all the time. I learn a lot as I meet various people, including celebrities from overseas. 

I heard that you met Robert Pattinson and Naomi Campbell in Egypt as well. 

I feel that the world is very big, and there are many wonderful people. Since we are from different cultures, we have to understand each other’s differences and take them into consideration. I think they’re interesting, but they must also find me interesting as well [laughs]. I think it is more natural to treat people the same. 

You always try to watch a soccer match whenever you’re in Europe. What does it mean to make time for things that you like?
