Woodz, also known as Cho Seungyeon, will hold a concert in Seoul Dec. 11-12.
Under the theme “The Invisible City,” he said he will bring his fans to a mirage-like space that does not exist in reality but can be found everywhere. The live performance will be also streamed around the world.
He held his first concert -- dubbed “2020 Woodz: Not Just a Concert - W Box” -- online last year, and demonstrated his presence for 120 minutes.
He won the first place in a television music chart program for the first time on his own with “Waiting,” one of the two main tracks from third EP “Only Lovers Left” last month.
He was a member of X1, an 11-member act formed through survival audition show “ProduceX101” in 2019. The group disbanded in January 2020 after it was revealed that voting in the program was rigged.

It comforts and gives out support saying that a warm spring will come if we survive the harsh winter with the power of love. “Ainochikara” was revealed in advance during the band’s concert, which was exclusively livestreamed for fans in Japan earlier this month.
The song is part of same-titled single that also includes Japanese version of “Home,” title track from sixth EP “You Made My Dawn,” and “Snap Shoot,” a track from third LP “An Ode.” The single will be fully unveiled on Dec. 8.
