Singer WOODS has successfully completed his first overseas festival.

WOODS performed at the large Japanese festival 'SUMMER SONIC 2025' held on the 16th in Tokyo and the 17th in Osaka.

He started with his new song 'Smashing Concrete' and engaged with the audience through a Japanese greeting, receiving positive responses with his witty remarks.

He prepared a diverse setlist including 'Ready to Fight', 'Without You', and 'Amnesia', completing an explosive performance. Especially during 'Drowning', the live audience reaction was intense, with chants echoing throughout. WOODS overwhelmed the crowd from his very first overseas festival.

His charismatic performance shone brightly. On that day, he also made a surprise announcement about the release of the Japanese version of 'Amnesia', heightening anticipation among fans in Japan.

He stated, "I was worried since 'SUMMER SONIC' is my first festival after my discharge, but I had a great time. If you call me again, I will prepare a wonderful stage." He continued to engage with the audience, adding at the end of the show, "Enjoy SUMMER SONIC and remember to drink plenty of water." Satisfied reviews continued to pour in on social media.

Since his discharge last month, WOODS has been actively promoting, including the release of new music. Starting from the 21st, he will open an MD pop-up store that he personally participated in.

He will also appear on stages of major music festivals in the Republic of Korea, including 'Let’s Rock Festival', 'Sound Planet Festival', and 'Busan International Rock Festival'.
