On MBC 'Radio Star', which aired on the 17th, Woods revealed a behind-the-scenes story about 'Drawing's reverse performance while serving in the military.
Woods released the song "Drawing" a year before joining the army. After joining the military, he went to 'Immortal Masterpiece' and sang 'Drawing' as a special feature on Armed Forces Day. At first, the stage was not on the air. The production team will only show the joint stage on the show, but it's a shame, so I asked them to upload the individual stage on YouTube. But that's good. Now 'Drawing' has 19 million views."
He said "I was in really bad shape that day. At that time, I was a soldier, so I woke up at 6 a.m. and went to bed at 10 p.m., but my stage was almost 9 p.m. It was time to sleep, so I sang with an impression on my voice. When the soldier asked me to come back with an impression, I think it was seen as a strong appeal."

About a week after Woods was successful, IU contacted him saying, `You should continue to wear military uniforms.' When I asked the reason, he tipped 'There's something that the video gives me, but I can't explain anything'."
In response, Kim Gu-ra said "It's like a bolt from the blue to a soldier in the military," and Woods replied "I cheer him up at the end in a good mood."
Woods made his debut as a unique member in 2014, being selected as the final debut group on Mnet 'Produce X101' and making his re-debut as X1. However, X1's debut activities were completely suspended due to the issue of manipulation of the program, and Woo-joo turned into a solo singer and is working. He signed an exclusive contract with EDAM Entertainment, IU's agency, in 2022.
