The now-canceled Mexico, Peru and Chile concerts were three out of four concerts on WOODZ’s ‘OO-LI’ world tour that would’ve taken place in Latin America. The last remaining date will take place on July 16 in São Paulo, Brazil.
Last year, WOODZ signed a record deal with EDAM Entertainment, best known as home to singer IU. The deal came shortly after WOODZ left his long-time label of Yuehua Entertainment after the end of his exclusive contract.
WOODZ first made his debut in the K-pop industry as a member of boyband UNIQ in 2014, before going solo in 2016. He later joined the short-lived group X1 after competing on the Mnet reality TV show Produce X 101.
In other K-pop news, K-pop agency P Nation, founded by Psy, has confirmed that it is in talks to sign MAMAMOO member Hwasa. The singer’s contract with long-time label RBW is set to expire at the end of June.
