WOODZ Makes Explosive Comeback With “Smashing Concrete” & Sold-Out Merch

It seems like WOODZ doesn’t want to waste time making up for lost time! A week after being discharged from the military, WOODZ continues to surprise fans!

At midnight on July 29th, he dropped the “Smashing Concrete” visualizer on his YouTube channel – an explosive rock track. WOODZ expressed a powerful explosion of emotion in the video while displaying relaxed confidence.

At the onset of the video, it defines what stress is – which is the background of the song. “Smashing Concrete” conveys internal conflict and the despair of being overwhelmed by stress, when everything feels meaningless, unreachable, and even the strongest part of yourself begins to crack.

The video captures a variety of emotions through lighting, angles, and direction within the same space.

WOODZ’s prominence continued even while he was serving in the military. His song “Drowning” resurged in popularity in October last year, topped various music charts in South Korea in May, and even took its first win on SBS “Inkigayo.” The special stage for Armed Forces Day on the KBS2 program “Immortal Songs,” where he performed the song, reached 18 million views.

WOODZ also took part in the composition of the song. Currently, the musician has 74 composed songs credited to him, according to the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA).

WOODZ’s popularity has been nonstop, as the merchandise released by his agency EDAM last week, WOODZ OUT OF TIME ARTIFACTS, was quickly sold out and is now open for pre-order only. MOODZ, WOODZ’s official fandom name, has been commenting with funny memes that they are willing to buy all the merch lineup.
