WOODZ · Korean · 33 words

Archive. 1

Archive. 1 (2026) is WOODZ's first full-length album, a wide sweep that takes in midnight drives, a do-nothing day at home, defiance, and two quiet songs about someone he still misses. Several tracks are written in blunt, spoken Korean, with slang and clipped endings, while CINEMA and 사모 return to polite, tender phrasing. The set gathers words for feeling boxed in, losing one's bearings and stubbornly going one's own way, plus the vocabulary of looking back on a love that has ended.
