The more we talk, the harder it is to know where Cho Seungyoun ends and WOODZ begins. Perhaps they’re always inextricably entwined in a mutually beneficial embrace: I address him as WOODZ and he replies as WOODZ but also as Seungyoun, and yet speaks about both in the third person. Visually, he’s Seungyoun here in the meeting room of his label – barefaced, with his hair tucked under a beanie despite Seoul’s warm, muggy weather. He looks younger than his years. He describes being on stage as WOODZ as feeling “excited, with a high tension. I feel like I’m alive. When I’m Seungyoun, it’s not boring, but I feel more comfortable and chilled out.”
