Previously, we tried on Skechers the Uno to help us to feel closer to Korean superstar Cha Eun Woo. Naturally, when Skechers, the global footwear and lifestyle brand kindly extended us an invitation to attend their 99th store opening in The Exchange TRX, this Penangite drove five hours just to attend the event.

During a private press conference before the main event, Eun Woo charmingly greeted members of the press with an “Apa khabar?”. As he entered the room, I can honestly say that I was wowed by the glow that he radiated, his symmetrical facial features, and his amazing body proportions.

Everyone in the room just paled in comparison despite him appearing tired from his hectic schedule. Psst, doesn’t he look like he was generated by AI in the pic above?

Eun Woo dished that his new drama Wonderful World will be premiering this year. He also spoke about his upcoming solo album as he will be having his solo debut in the first half of 2024 eight years after being a member of K-pop boy group Astro.

Additionally, he mentioned his fan concert, Mystery Elevator which will be held at Stadium Malawati on 24 February (Saturday).

Eun Woo then headed to the Skechers store at The Exchange TRX for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, where he also engaged in a store tour with the Skechers Management team.

He was shown various sections of the store, including the Skechers DIY corner.

There, he cutely added some Cali Bits including a durian, karipap, and a dog (his drama A Good Day to be a Dog just wrapped up) to black Foamies.

He also cutely greeted a young fan (we wish we were her *sobs*):

The enormous store includes a revolutionary running zone that is debuting for the first time at a Skechers location in Malaysia. An advanced treadmill and personalised run gait analysis allow runners can find the perfect pair to match their distinctive stride.

After the store opening, he took to the stage for a Meet & Greet to meet thousands of adoring fans, who shouted his name and screamed at the top of their lungs. To me, it seemed like an angel had descended from heaven as I’ve genuinely never even met anyone half as good-looking in my life.

He was decked out Skechers’ latest lifestyle apparel collection and Skechers Tres-Air UNO fashion sneakers. Skechers pulled out all the stops for the event, including a dynamic show and a performance by Malaysian dance crew Zeppo Youngsterz. Eun Woo politely greeted everyone and even noticed some lucky fans!

I was fortunate enough to be right in front of the stage and I have to say I was fortunate that I didn’t pass out from being overwhelmed by his dashing good looks!

He impressed everyone with his English skills as he didn’t even need a translator and he even said, “Wow, you guys are so hot,” to the Malaysian crowd.

Will you be checking out their new store soon and stand where he stood?
