Cho Seung Youn (WOODZ) has made his long-awaited solo comeback!
On June 29, Cho Seung Youn held an online showcase to release his first mini album "EQUAL" and the title song "Love Me Harder." He discussed his thoughts about his new album, his identity as Cho Seung Youn and WOODZ, and many more.
First, Cho Seung Youn shared his feelings of releasing his first album as a WOODZ solo artist. He said, "I'm really nervous, and I'm looking forward to it. I'm curious about how people will react."
Cho Seung Youn mentioned that he focused on everything from music to the visual aspects of his album. "My attachment to this album is at another level," he said. "I have worked hard for it, so I hope everyone enjoys it, and I will be grateful if people find my new side."
Cho Seung Youn then spoke about the confusion between his name "Cho Seung Youn" and "WOODZ." He said, "Even my fans are confused about my two identities, and so am I. Through this album, I realized that the two names were me, so I gave the title of my album 'EQUAL' to represent that Cho Seung Youn and WOODZ were myself . "
He also expressed his thoughts on the "EARTH" and "COSMIC" versions of his album. The "EARTH" version shows a softer side to him, while the "COSMIC" version illustrates his charisma. He said, "It is difficult to capture both sides of me in one version. I thought a lot about what I had to do, and my album began with the idea that both WOODZ and Cho Seung Youn represented me. I realized my desire to show off whatever side I had of me, regardless of who I was. "
Cho Seung Youn outlined his stage name "WOODZ." He said, "I am worried about what I should call in front of my new beginning, and I choose 'WOODZ' because it represents my values."
He continued, "'WOODZ' means that my roots are heavy, and my branches are light. Likewise, my heart feels heavy, and my mind is light. I chose the name because I wanted to be stronger and more noble like a tree as time went by. "
Then, Cho Seung Youn compared his latest album with the previous one. He said, "In the past, I made music that I liked and that could satisfy me, but now my goal is to make music that pleases everyone. I worked hard to do that. "
He added, "My dream is to be an artist who is loved by people of all ages. I want to be a singer who becomes stronger and continues to grow over time. "
Cho Seung Youn then discussed the title song "Love Me Harder." He shared, "Love is usually red, but I want to talk about an extraordinary type of love in blue. The blue color symbolizes the love between my fans and me, so it also has that meaning. "
Finally, Cho Seung Youn shared his goals for his new album. "When doing music, I never have goals related to ranking," he said. "I thought I was working on my album that focused on presenting music to listeners, and when I worked on this album, I felt that so many people gave me lots of love."
He concluded, "I try to do my best because I want to achieve better results from working hard, and I want my fans to hear the words, 'I know him,' every time they talk about me." /Smp
