SEOUL, KOREA – The K-Pop world is in an absolute frenzy as footage from the 2026 Korea University Festival, ‘KULIMAX’ Day 1 (May 19, 2026), continues to explode across social media. At the heart of this viral sensation is none other than solo powerhouse WOODZ (Cho Seung-youn), whose electrifying performance has cemented itself as one of the year’s most unforgettable festival moments.
Fancams uploaded within hours of the show’s conclusion are racking up millions of views, capturing a truly epic medley that showcased WOODZ’s incredible versatility and unmatched stage presence.

However, the true showstopper, and the moment breaking the internet, came with his performance of “Drowning.” Originally a B-side from his recent album, WOODZ poured every ounce of his artistry into the track, captivating the audience with his evocative performance. Just when fans thought the energy couldn’t get any higher, WOODZ unleashed the iconic Korea University Cheer Song, “들어라 보아라 그리고 기억하라 (Listen, see, and remember).” This unexpected and incredibly high-energy finale transformed the festival grounds into a unified roar, perfectly blending K-Pop idol charisma with genuine university spirit.
MOODZ (WOODZ’s official fandom) and K-Pop enthusiasts globally are hailing the performance as legendary, praising his flawless live vocals, charismatic stage command, and the genius of his song selection.
