SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu and ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo, both beloved members of the K-pop industry, have recently become the talk of the town among fans. The two idols, who are part of the close-knit '97-liner group, were spotted enjoying what fans speculate was a late-night cycling adventure together.

The Evidence Behind the Speculation
A few days ago, Mingyu shared a series of photos on his social media, showcasing a playful night-time bike ride while donning a pink outfit. The photos captured his carefree spirit and love for late-night adventures. The very next day, Cha Eun Woo posted similar images of himself cycling under the night sky, looking every bit the professional cyclist in his gear.
The almost identical timing and striking similarities between their posts both in content and theme—have led fans to believe that these two besties might have been on a 'cycling date' together. Fans speculated that Mingyu and Cha Eun Woo likely served as each other’s photographers, a common occurrence within the close circle of '97-liner friends.
Fans' Reactions
The speculations have caused quite a stir online, with fans sharing their excitement over this possible get-together. Some fans even expressed a bit of disappointment that their fellow bestie, BTS’ Jungkook, couldn’t join them for the outing, as he is currently fulfilling his mandatory military service.
What’s Next for Cha Eun Woo and Mingyu?
Amidst the excitement surrounding their cycling adventure, both idols have also been busy with their individual careers. Cha Eun Woo recently announced his upcoming solo release, a new single titled "Hey Hello," which is a collaboration with Norwegian artist Peder Elias. The single is set to drop on August 30, marking his first solo track since the release of his debut album, "ENTITY." Fans eagerly await this release, especially after Eun Woo unveiled a visually stunning poster featuring the silhouettes of the two collaborators against a whimsical backdrop.
On the other hand, Mingyu has been making waves in the dance community. Recently, he was recognized as one of the top new-generation dancers alongside BLACKPINK's Lisa by the Kwon Twins from Street Man Fighter. During episode 17 of BIGBANG's Daesung's YouTube show "Jib Daesung," the famous choreographers and dancers Deukie and Dony, also known as the Kwon Twins, named BLACKPINK's Lisa and SEVENTEEN's Mingyu as the leading dancers of the new generation.
Whether or not Mingyu and Cha Eun Woo were indeed on a cycling date remains a mystery, but their strong friendship and frequent interactions continue to delight fans. As both idols embark on new chapters in their careers—Cha Eun Woo with his upcoming solo release and Mingyu with his rising prominence in the dance community—the '97-liner friends continue to captivate the K-pop world with their talents and camaraderie.
Fans can only hope for more such spontaneous adventures and collaborations from this group of friends in the future!
