Cha Eun-woo’s ELSE

Fantagio

Korean actor-singer Cha Eun-woo is currently serving his mandatory military service, but still continues to serves his fans with new (pre-planned) music.

Today, his highly anticipated 2nd mini-album, ELSE, is released on all streaming platforms, with physical copies available at select retailers.

It has been over a year and a half since he last released his first solo music project, ENTITY. With ELSE, which means “other” or “different,” it precisely showcases the other (and different) side of the ASTRO member. While ENTITY is a chill, reflective piece of the singer’s inner soul, ELSE is described as one that “pushes those boundaries, offering a dynamic, unfiltered chapter rooted in instinct, emotion, and artistic freedom.”

“I hope listeners can discover their own ‘else’ while hearing mine — whether that’s a new perspective, a forgotten feeling, or simply a moment of comfort,” Cha Eun-woo says, in an exclusive quote. “Even while I’m away serving, knowing that these songs are out in the world with you gives me strength and gratitude.”

The songs are more upbeat than on the previous album, with a stronger tempo, pop-funk, and guitar riffs. His title track, “SATURDAY PREACHER,” is more retro and high-energy, featuring nostalgic synths and groovy beats. It’s a fun dance romp overall.

The music video for “SATURDAY PREACHER” is insane, showcasing a darker side to the charismatic, good-looking artist. The character is initially introduced as a handsome record store owner who glances at a box with his name and birth year on it. He is then seen practicing facial expressions before handing a package over to a young woman. It cuts to another version of the character, with a scar on his face, who appears a bit sinister. This dark character is shown conducting experiments on people using sound frequencies, then absorbing them into himself. He does it to the young woman, a young man, and an older businessman. In between the storylines, both versions are dancing with their backup dancers.

We see the evil version fully take over the good version, as if he were Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The good version finds a cassette tape containing a log of an experiment: “LOG: 097 CHA EUN WOO vs. 1.” The good version realizes he’s an experiment, discovers the hidden room of the evil form, and collapses, allowing the insidious character to take over.

Cha Eun-woo’s ELSE

Fantagio

Known for his acting chops, Cha Eun-woo plays both hero and villain in his music video. It’s not his first time playing a dark, brooding character. He previously played an intense, but charming villain in Disney+/Hulu’s Wonderful World.

The other songs that follow the track are a bit more light-hearted but still upbeat, including “Sweet Papaya,” a pop-funk track that showcases a cool, retro ’70s style from Cha Eun-woo. “Selfish” is a cinematic pop-trap with rock elements about wanting to be selfish in love. With “Thinkin’ Bout U,” he returns back to “chill” with an aching ballad filled with emotional longing.

With the first music video from the mini-album out, Fantagio Entertainment, Cha Eun-woo’s label, plans release to the second music video for “Sweet Papaya” sometime next week. So fans can expect another sweet treat from the superstar.

Cha Eun-woo is set to be discharged from military service in January 2027.

USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data

The post USD/CHF rises on US dollar rebound, weak Swiss economic data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CHF trades slightly higher on Friday, around 0.8060, up 0.15% at the time of writing. The pair remains on track for a weekly gain, supported by the persistent weakness of the US Dollar (USD) amid growing expectations of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The US Dollar Index (DXY) is heading toward its worst weekly performance since July, despite a modest rebound on Friday driven by firmer US Treasury yields. Investors continue to price in substantial monetary easing over the next 12 months. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the chance of a 25-basis-point cut at the December meeting now stands at 85%, compared with less than 40% one month ago. This dynamic is reinforced by dovish comments from several Fed officials and this week’s soft US Retail Sales data. Speculation within the National Economic Council (NEC), suggesting that Kevin Hassett may emerge as the leading candidate to replace Jerome Powell in May, also fuels expectations of a prolonged easing cycle through 2026. In this context, US Dollar rallies are likely to remain contained unless the macroeconomic backdrop shifts meaningfully. In Switzerland, the Swiss Franc (CHF) lacks momentum following economic indicators that came in well below expectations. Swiss Gross Domestic Product (GDP) contracted 0.5% (QoQ) in Q3, below the 0.4% contraction consensus and after a revision of the previous quarter to 0.2%. Growth YoY slowed to 0.5%, far below the previously reported 1.3%. The only positive signal came from the KOF Leading Indicator, which improved to 101.7 from 101.03, slightly above consensus. Still, the data confirms a slowdown in the Swiss economy, reinforcing expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) may keep its policy rate at 0.00% potentially through 2027, according to several analysts. Overall, the environment continues to favour USD/CHF upside, although the pair remains sensitive to…

Turkmenistan Crypto Legislation Goes Live on Jan. 1 The Neutral Turkmenistan newspaper reported that Turkmenistan’s President, Serdar Berdymukhamedov, has signed a new law that regulates crypto activities. According to a spokesperson, this new law will regulate several crypto-related activities. This includes the creation, storage, placement, use, and circulation of virtual assets in the country. It also defines the assets’ legal and economic status. This comes as the country intensifies efforts towards diversifying its economy beyond exports of natural gas, which it is well known for.
