Singer WOODZ appeared on tvN's 'You Quiz on the Block' and publicly shared a family story he had kept buried in his heart for many years. In a teaser released at the end of the episode that aired on the 4th, WOODZ appeared with a new short haircut and said he would present himself in the way fans most wanted to see him. His appearance attracted significant attention as 'Drowning,' a song he sang during his military service, went viral through word-of-mouth and climbed back up the music charts. In the teaser, WOODZ recalled the time when he left for Brazil at age 13 to pursue soccer studies. He revealed how he told his mother, 'Actually, I have a reason I want to stay in Korea.' When she asked why, he answered, 'I want to become a singer,' but his mother responded, 'Just focus on soccer while I'm still being nice about it.' Despite leaving for a foreign country at such a young age, the dream of becoming a singer had already taken root in his heart. WOODZ then cautiously opened up about his family. He confessed, 'Many people think my family was well-off, but I received a call saying my father passed away overseas,' and added, 'I carried the cremation urn myself and brought him back to Korea.' The matter-of-fact way he conveyed this heavy experience revealed the weight of what he has endured. Meanwhile, on the same day, WOODZ released his first full-length album in 13 years since his debut, titled 'Archive. 1.' The album spans diverse genres including rock ballad, pop punk, jazz, and alternative R&B, containing a total of 17 tracks.
