The song “Drowning”, composed by singer WOODZ, achieved a reverse ranking during its military season.
“Drowning,” which entered Melon’s daily chart at No. 951, has steadily climbed to No. 87, entering the chart strongly. In particular, the performance video “군복 드라우닝 (Military Uniform Drawing),” which led to this reverse action, is attracting attention with over 1.15 million views in about two weeks.
Earlier, WOODZ appeared as Corporal Cho Seung Yeon in the Armed Forces Day special “Immortal Song,” and made a big impression by wearing a military uniform and singing his song “Drowning.” His refreshing voice and explosive singing skills captivated the audience as well as viewers, and the stage video quickly attracted the attention of online communities and social media.
Since then, “Drowning” has quickly climbed the major music charts. After reaching No. 951 on Melon’s daily chart on October 1, the title climbed to No. 698 on the 5th, No. 100 on the 10th, and No. 87 on the 20th. It also reached No. 68 on Melon’s main chart, TOP 100.
“Drowning” is a song from his 5th mini album “OO-LI,” which was released last April, and is considered a masterpiece by K-pop fans. In particular, many idols recommended WOODZ’s “Drowning,” which attracted attention. “Drowning,” written and composed by WOODZ himself, is a delicate and intense expression of a broken heart after the departure of a loved one.
“It was unexpected and I am so happy. I am grateful to be able to sing and make music. I will continue to be a singer who can contribute to the happiness of many people with the same pure heart that I have now. Thank you so much for your love,” he said, expressing his sincere determination and gratitude.
Marking his 10th anniversary, WOODZ is currently serving in a military band in the Army and will be discharged on July 21. His reverse performance is raising expectations for his performance after being discharged from the Army.
