Singer WOODZ (Jo Seung-yeon)'s self-composed song 'Drowning' has reached the peak of the reverse move craze by seizing the first place trophy on the music show.
On the 11th, WOODZ was nominated for first place on SBS 'Inkigayo' with his self-composed song 'Drowning', alongside Le Sserafim's 'HOT' and Jo Jae-joong's 'Do you not know (PROD. Rockoberry)'. Recording a total score of 5,179 points, WOODZ seized the trophy without any grants, leaving another valuable record.
In this regard, WOODZ expressed through his agency EDAM Entertainment, "I sincerely thank the fans who always send me infinite love. I am realizing that such touching moments are coming to me lately, and I am determined to work harder and have more fun in my activities. Everything is thanks to those who believed in and supported me. I deeply appreciate it again and thank you for giving me such wonderful moments."
He added, "I am well aware that these moments are not created by my power alone. It is only possible because of all of you who have always been with me, and I will remember that. I will not become complacent but will work more joyfully and passionately. I will continue to show many fun and new sides without being obsessed with rankings. I love you."
'Drowning' is a song included in WOODZ's mini fifth album 'OO-LI', released in April 2023. It has been sweeping various music charts, recently reaching first place on the Melon Top 100 chart amid the reverse move craze that started in October last year. Notably, the military uniform performance of 'Drowning' presented at KBS2 'Immortal Songs' for the National Armed Forces Day special has garnered over 12.9 million views on YouTube, receiving explosive responses for both the audio and video.
This achievement of reaching first place on music shows is even more special, despite being on military service. WOODZ, who has consistently built his musical world, continues to show unwavering influence without activities and is experiencing a new prime.
Meanwhile, WOODZ has recently been embroiled in dating rumors with the late Kim Sae-ron. A YouTuber claimed that Kim Sae-ron was dating singer A from early 2021 to May 2022, and it is reported that she liked posts on social media after sending a coffee truck anonymously to A's music video filming location. Additionally, it is said that she did not hide her relationship with A from those around her.
The late Kim Sae-ron struggled after breaking up with A, which led her to cause a drunk driving accident on May 18, 2022. The day before, she canceled a dubbing session for Netflix's 'Hunting Dogs' and was said to have started drinking from the early morning of the next day, driving while intoxicated and crashing into a transformer. As a result, netizens speculated that A was singer WOODZ. WOODZ, who enlisted in January last year, is set to return on July 21. His agency stated it was difficult to confirm the dating rumors with the late Kim Sae-ron as it is a private matter.
