”Hello. This is Yuehua Entertainment.
We want to express our gratitude to those who always show great love for WOODZ.
We would like to inform you that our exclusive contract with WOODZ expires at the end of October.
We have closely followed WOODZ’s passion for music from the day of his debut in the band to the present, when he performs as a solo artist. It was a significant time to be together with WOODZ, as he turned into a generalist thanks to constant challenges and efforts.

Please continue to show your love and support for WOODZ.
Thanks.”
