On December 11, WOODZ known as Cho Seung Youn announced his military enlistment details.
The former X1 and UNIQ member took his time to let his fans know that he will be starting his mandatory military training next year. Woodz has shared a letter stating,
Hello, this is Cho Seung Youn.
I’m writing this letter today because I have news that I want to tell MOODZ [WOODZ’s fans] directly.
I have been called by my country and will be serving in the military from January 22, 2024.
My military enlistment, which had always seemed so far away, has now arrived, and it feels like I’ve been thinking about my enlistment since last year.
For a moment, I will be a little farther away than I am now, and I will do my utmost in my military duty as not WOODZ, but a young man named Cho Seung Youn, before returning.
Nearly 10 years have already passed since I debuted and began working [as a singer].
Those years have been filled with the extremely precious and happy memories I made together with MOODZ, so I feel very grateful.
I’ll come back even healthier, so please stay happy and healthy without getting sick, wherever you are.
Once again, thank you to MOODZ for always giving me strength and giving me more love than I deserve.
So we all wish him good luck for his upcoming military services. Come back safe!
