Spoiler Warning: This article includes spoilers for Chicken Nugget, so proceed with caution.
Is Cha Eun-Woo Part of the Chicken Nugget Cast?
The premise of the mini-series, Chicken Nugget, may sound absurd at first. But once you start watching it, it gets sentimental in the end.
The show boasts an all-star cast including Ryu Seung-Ryong, Ahn Jae-Hong, and Kim You-Jung. It also includes a number of actors who make a surprise appearance.
When the show was first announced, it was rumored that ASTRO's Cha Eun-Woo would join the cast of the show. But there seemed to have been no official confirmation whether he would be part of such a crazy and fun mini-series.

Cha Eun-Woo Chicken Nugget Scene
Ko Baek-Joong (played by Ahn Jae-Hong) has a huge crush on his boss' daughter, Choi Min-A (played by Kim You-Jung). However, she goes inside a machine that turns her into a piece of chicken nugget.
Amidst Mr. Choi Sun-Man (played by Ryu Seung-Ryong) and Baek-Joong's attempts to understand what happened, the latter decides to go inside the machine on his own.
Even though they do not yet fully understand the mechanism behind the machine, Baek-Joong takes the risk to know what happened to Min-A.
Since he saw what happened to Min-A, he attempted to follow the steps. Baek-Joong enters the machine, presses the button, and mentions something on your mind at the last minute.
When he follows these steps, he recalls a conversation with Min-A where she tells him he doesn't isn't "conventionally a good-looking guy but had something going for him." He blurts out Cha Eun-Woo, referring to the ASTRO singer.
Does Baek-Joong Turn Into Cha Eun-Woo?
So does Baek-Joong turn into Cha Eun-Woo in Chicken Nugget? Before an answer could be revealed, the show cuts to the next episode. The answer that we hoped for was in episode 4.
When Baek-Joong steps out, he is still himself. Nothing has changed. He learns that this was not how the machine worked.
Unfortunately, something happens to the machine and does not produce a result. It's possible that the machine does not turn people into other humans.
So no, Cha Eun-Woo does not appear anywhere in the mini-series. But the scene that mentioned his name was a good laugh.
