WOODZ Wraps 2026 World Tour With Seoul Encore at KSPO DOME

Singer WOODZ (real name Cho Seung-youn) has wrapped his 2026 world tour back in Seoul. He held his solo encore concert, "2026 WOODZ WORLD TOUR Archive. 1 : Completed," at KSPO DOME in Seoul on the 31st of last month and the 1st of this month.

The shows were the final stop of a world tour that started in March at Inspire Arena in Incheon. From there, the tour traveled through Asia, Europe, Oceania, North America and South America. For the encore, WOODZ played on a bigger stage than on earlier stops and changed up the show's structure.

He opened with "Come into my world!," a song he released on the 20th of last month. WOODZ helped write the lyrics and music himself, with the goal of pulling concert crowds into the show. He followed it with "Dirt on my leather," "Ready to fight," "Bloodline" and "Downtown," keeping the opening stretch focused on rock.

"The title of this show, 'Completed,' means wrapping up everything from my full-length album to the world tour," WOODZ said. "Thanks to all of you, I was able to make it to KSPO DOME. I'm really grateful."

The encore also included songs that weren't part of the earlier "Archive. 1" concerts. WOODZ said he wanted to "show the essence of WOODZ's music," and he prepared stages across several genres.

For the unreleased song "Bright Light Flicker," he built the performance around lighting and flashes. The setlist also featured "PAJAMA," a track he appeared on as a featured artist on Mnet's hip-hop competition show "Show Me the Money 12." Raf Sandou came out as a guest and performed the song with him.

A new segment called "JAZZ BRIDGE" brought jazz into the mix. WOODZ planned it based on his visits to jazz bars after shows during the tour. A brass trio joined in, giving the music a different lineup from his usual concerts.

The venue even had its own "HAPPY BAR," a space designed to look like a jazz bar. Before the show started, bar staff handed out drinks to the audience. Later, WOODZ sang "Waikiki" from on top of the bar table.

Older songs came back with new arrangements. A choir and an orchestra were added to "I'll Never Love Again." "Drowning" was reworked around strings, and the crowd sang along together during the performance.

"That was the biggest and most beautiful sing-along of any show so far," he said. "I was so happy while singing that I felt like I might cry."

After the main set, fans called for an encore, and WOODZ returned to the stage. He started with "To My January" and moved into "Better and better." During "Journey," paper confetti printed with his own handwriting rained down over the seats. Fans sang along through the last song.

The concerts closed out his run with "Archive. 1," the full-length album he released in March, and the world tour built around it. For an artist who started this chapter in an arena in Incheon, ending it at KSPO DOME marked a clear step up.

"I don't know what the next journey will look like, but because of all of you, I always want to become a better person," he told fans. "I hope you're always healthy and happy."
