Singer WOODZ's self-composed song 'Drowning' continues its long-term success on major domestic music streaming charts. The track recently entered the top 10 on the Melon TOP100 chart for 70 consecutive weeks, setting the all-time record for the longest duration in the top 10 on this chart. This surpasses the records of NewJeans' 'Hype Boy' (49 weeks) and BTS' 'Dynamite' (36 weeks).

'Drowning' has maintained a top position on major music streaming charts since its reverse-running began in October 2024. As a result, the song secured the number one spot on the 2025 annual charts released by Melon, Genie, and Circle Chart. It also achieved the number one position twice on SBS' 'Inkigayo'.

Video content continues to receive steady attention. The 'WOODZ 'Drowning' Live Clip', released in 2023, ranked third on YouTube's Korean Popular Music Video TOP100 chart as of the 14th. It has also entered the weekly popular music video chart in South Korea for 81 consecutive weeks. The video of the National Armed Forces Day special stage on KBS2's 'Immortal Songs' surpassed 30 million views at the end of April.

'Drowning' is a track from WOODZ's fifth mini-album 'OO-LI', released in April 2023. WOODZ wrote the lyrics and composed the music, delicately yet powerfully expressing the emotions felt after losing a loved one. Even before its reverse-running, the song was regarded as a hidden gem among listeners.

Meanwhile, WOODZ released his first full-length album 'Archive. 1' in March and continues to actively pursue musical activities.
