Singer-songwriter WOODZ (Cho Seung-youn) is set to make his return in March, marking his first official comeback since completing military service and following the continued resurgence of his hit track “Drowning.”

On January 30, WOODZ’s agency EDAM Entertainment confirmed to Dispatch that the artist is currently preparing a new release with the goal of unveiling it next month. Adding to anticipation, veteran actor Park Hee-soon will appear in the title track’s music video. Known for his intense screen presence, Park’s participation is expected to enhance the song’s atmosphere and narrative depth.
The agency noted that the collaboration aims to heighten immersion rather than rely on spectacle, aligning with WOODZ’s introspective musical style.
WOODZ experienced a major career boost in late 2025 after “Drowning” gained renewed attention. The track surged following his emotional performance on KBS2’s Immortal Songs during Armed Forces Day, where he appeared in military uniform.
Despite being enlisted at the time, the performance resonated strongly with audiences, leading to chart reversals, multiple music show wins, and eventually a No.1 placement on Melon’s annual domestic chart.
WOODZ completed his mandatory military service in July 2025. Since then, he has steadily expanded his activities, including appearances at domestic and international festivals, the release of new singles, and a successful solo concert.
