Woodz once contributed to the production of a song for Super Junior’s Sub-Unit ‘D&E’ who came from a big company, ‘SM Entertainment’.

Woodz being able to make his music being chosen by SM Entertainment and got actually released is very fascinating considering his age being very young at that time. He also produced the song ‘Don’t Hang Up’ popularized by ‘SURAN’, a South Korean female soloist, again he sang the demo by himself and the demos are coming into the surface years after the song released and it shocks the public that he is the one that sang the demo for those songs. When he joined Produce X 101, the song he and his friends performed at the very first class evaluation was also produced by him which later released unofficially on his youtube channel after the program ended and X1 disbanded.
