Singer Woods (real name Cho Seung-yeon) worked hard, achieved remarkable results, and held a grand ‘finale’ before enlisting.

Woods held the ‘We’ at the Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul along with the release of the ‘We’ (OO-LI) album in April last year. Following the successful hosting of the world tour concert, the scale was further expanded and an encore concert was held at the We Handball Stadium in Seoul in October.

During the year leading up to the world tour, encore, and finale, Woods grew rapidly by steadily releasing new songs and communicating with fans. He was then able to meet more fans at a larger concert hall and exchange greetings before enlisting.

The finale performance was not a “rehash” . The performance on this day was a significant change from the set list of concerts he usually presented before. Existing songs were also rearranged to add newness, and the performance started with the new songs ‘Nightmare’ and ‘Bright Light Flicker’, songs with a unique high-pitched sound and fast rock base that immediately set the mood of the concert hall. pulled up

“I was worried because the venue had grown over the past year and we had to hold Jangchung and handball at an indoor gym, but we prepared a stage that was worth the money. We renewed the performance plan and included new songs in between.”

The popular song ‘Kiss of Fire’ loved by fans. Following ‘Feel Like’, he sang ‘Full’ in his early solo days. This performance allowed me to meet ‘No Meaning’ again. This song, filled with words like ‘meaning nothing’ at a time when he was going through a difficult time as a singer, gave Woods a special impression after appearing on stage for the first time in a long time. Woods also asked for fans’ reactions, saying, “”Meaning Nothing”is a song that has been on the list for a long time, and he sang it for the first time in a long time.”

This concert was a performance that extended the time spent with fans. At the last performance, the impromptu singing and rapping competition with Woods was turned into a corner. They danced with the fans and got close to the audience on the second floor. In particular, on this day, Woods’ close friends such as GOT7’s Yugyeom, X1’s Kim Yo-han and Lee Han-gyeol, Blackpink’s Jenny, and actress Yang Hye-ji also visited the event, and Woods and Yugyeom even had a dance time together, making it a unique event for fans.

‘Touché’ was missing from the set list for a long time. ‘Lullaby’ The performance of the new song ‘Behind’ also made the finale performance even more special. Then, ‘Amnesia’ was released through a performance and received much love. Woods ran breathlessly all the way to ‘drowning’. He said, “It’s more fun than last year, and I feel like I’m more relaxed now that I’m on tour.” He then expressed his gratitude to the fans, saying, “The reason we were able to make it to the finale like this is thanks to all of you, it’s all thanks to you.”

At the concert hall, where the stage ended with ‘Drawing’, ‘I Love Cho Seungyeon’ ‘Cho Seungyeon, don’t go’ The fans’ shouts continued. After finishing the encore performance, Woods greeted his fans while holding back tears, as if he was overflowing with emotion.

He said, “I hope you stay healthy while I’m away for a year and a half. I’ll miss this place a lot, too.”He added, “I tried to capture a lot while practicing with the ensemble, and it won’t be easy since I’m not going very far.””You can, but I think the easy times will pass,” he said.

He continued, “There’s only one thing I want, for you to be healthy and happy. I’m sad that I can’t help you with that for a while, but if you left me after coming back, I’ll wait, and if you continue to like me, I’ll go with you until the end. I hope we can meet again.”He added.

Woods said, “I hope you remember that even if we are apart for a long time, our hearts are together. I have heard many stories of unchanging love, and I will come back unchanged. I am grateful for the warm words you have given me for nearly 10 years. I am very curious about the next chapter. In my 30s, “It will be better, I have no doubt about it, and I will go there resolutely,” he said.

The last song is ‘JOURNEY'(JOURNEY). Woods expressed his hiatus as a trip and said, “During your short trip, try to accomplish everything you want to achieve and meet with a bright side. Even if you look dark, I will comfort you. That’s the reason for my job.”.

The encore continued for well over two hours, and the final greeting that lingered for a long time was Woods’ greeting on the screen in the concert hall. ‘I will return safely, don’t get sick, I love you.’

Woods, who had transformed into a brightly bleached hairstyle, shaved his head to ‘black hair’ as soon as the performance ended.

Meanwhile, Woods will enlist in active duty on the 22nd and fulfill his military service obligation in the Army Band.
