WOODZ will hold his first solo concert since completing his mandatory military service on November 29 and 30 at the Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Songpa District, Seoul, his agency EDAM Entertainment announced on October 20.
Titled "2025 WOODZ Preview Concert: INDEX_00," the two-day event marks his return to the stage nearly five months after his discharge in July.
Cho Seung-youn, known professionally as WOODZ, enlisted as an active-duty soldier on January 22, 2024, and served in the military band at the Korea Military Academy. He was officially discharged on July 21, 2025, when he greeted fans at the discharge ceremony and expressed gratitude for their unwavering support. Since then, he has maintained public interest through brand endorsements and digital releases, steadily building anticipation for his comeback concert.
The concert poster, unveiled via EDAM Entertainment's social media channels, features a striking close-up of WOODZ's intense gaze set against a backdrop blending analog textures and digital motifs. The official logo, crafted by art director Paul Nicholson, underscores the artistic vision guiding this concert series. Fans can expect an immersive production that foreshadows WOODZ's creative direction for 2026 and beyond.
Tickets will go on sale beginning with a fan club presale at 8 p.m. KST on October 27, followed by general sales at 8 p.m. KST on October 29. All ticketing information and concert guidelines will be available on WOODZ's official channels. This schedule mirrors his previous concert cycle and underscores the strategic rollout of fan-oriented events leading up to the performance.
During his military service, WOODZ's self-composed track "Drowning" experienced a resurgence on streaming platforms and claimed the No. 1 spot on music show charts, earning him a reputation as a "military hiatus legend." In September, shortly before his discharge, he released the digital single "I'll Never Love Again," which debuted atop real-time music charts and reaffirmed his songwriting and production prowess.
WOODZ first debuted as a member of UNIQ in 2014 and launched his solo career under the moniker WOODZ in 2018. His 2023 concert "OO-LI" at the same venue marked his last major solo show before enlistment. Fans who witnessed that performance will now look forward to new interpretations of his evolving musical catalogue, spanning alternative R&B, pop, and rock-infused tracks.
As he transitions from soldier back to artist, WOODZ's November concert will serve both as a homecoming and a preview of his next creative chapter. With high production values, a dedicated global fanbase, and a track record of chart-topping releases, the concert is poised to be a defining moment in his post-service career trajectory.
