K-pop star and actor Cha Eun-woo has been baptized into the Catholic Church while serving in the military, according to his agency, Fantagio. The agency says the baptism took place last month, during Cha’s military service in June, at a Catholic church where he attended as part of religious services available to enlisted soldiers in South Korea. Fantagio adds that Cha received a baptismal name, John the Apostle, during the ceremony. The reports describe that participation in religious services during military service is voluntary, and enlisted personnel may attend services held in their unit’s division regardless of their prior religious affiliation. Fantagio confirms the update, presenting it as a personal religious sacrament Cha completed during his service period. Both outlets state that the baptism is not tied to any additional public program or official military event, and instead reflects voluntary attendance at a church during his enlistment.
