WOODZ, the artist who created a viral sensation with 'Drowning,' is marking a significant milestone by releasing his first full-length studio album 'Archive.1' on the 4th, a decade after his 2014 debut. The turning point came when his previously released track 'Drowning' from his 2023 mini album 5 gained explosive attention following his appearance on KBS 2TV's 'Immortal Songs' special in October 2024. The song remarkably climbed to the top of Melon's Top 100 in May 2025, approximately two years and one month after its initial release, sweeping major Korean music charts. 'Drowning' maintained its dominance, consistently ranking in the top 10 of music platforms like Melon and Genie for over a year, firmly establishing WOODZ's status in the K-pop industry. The pre-release tracks 'CINEMA' and 'Bloodline' from 'Archive.1' have garnered significant domestic and international attention with their blend of emotional band sounds and intense rock energy. Going beyond traditional music promotion, WOODZ has expanded his artistic vision to cinema with the film 'Slide Strum Mute,' which premiered on February 26. The 60-minute film was written, directed, shot, and edited by director Park Se-young, known for the feature film 'The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra,' with WOODZ participating in every aspect from conception to completion, even starring in the lead role alongside Justin Min and Jung Hae-rin. The narrative follows WOODZ's character, a musician who plays a broken guitar given by a mysterious man on the night of an audition rejection, embarking on a mysterious journey through cursed time driven by desire. This multidisciplinary approach demonstrates WOODZ's ambitious strategy to establish his unique artistic universe while attracting both music and film audiences.
