Listening Party: WOODZ 'EQUAL' EP

[@ramandrei_]

accident is really THAT song tbh

[@harunasuzooki]

GOD YES THAT SONG IS THE ONE

[@ryder37hehe]

YES!!!

[@gaurangkadam2501]

Straight banger that he make

[@eggciel]

Because of WOODZ’s vocals, people are surprised when they come to know he debuted as the main rapper of UNIQ. His range!!!

[@z.n7309]

@Jessie López yup

[@yeekies85]

@Jessie López yibo and seungyoun are best friends! they share a birthday and seungyoun mentioned him on his bday livestream earlier this year

[@eggciel]

@Jessie López yes

[@monikal6106]

@Jessie López yup yup they are called the Leo Twins =)

[@Chonny2964]

People also don’t know much about his rapper Alias, ‘Luizy’

[@luuus805]

Honestly thinking about how much effort seungyoun put in this mini and considering he wrote lyrics and produced all the songs makes me feel a bit frustrated because there is not enough people appreciating his talent even after many years in the industry. He really is one of the best and I hope he will grow in popularity in time because he deserves it sooo much

[@anad0990]

Well, he was not 1st on the charts, but he was 5th and 6th some weeks, which is not pretty bad considering he is not from a big company (you know how Korean market works). The album was so underrated, but it was selling good too. I believe he will be growing.

[@kyra_feonaalbiso1383]

Your right only few people know his talent, his so amazing singer.. all his song is on my playlist. M

[@linfyi]

the best solo album this year period

[@gstudioz3973]

What about taemin's album...? I personally think both this album are superior..

[@3rancha]

I'm honestly so torn between this one and Baekhyun's album

[@linfyi]

G STUDIOZ okay yeah you’re right his album is up there with seungyoun’s !! honestly they’re both fantastic and deserved so much more attention. i mean, they were well received but it’s frustrating... they deserved more

[@linfyi]

Spicyy Ricee baekhyun’s was AMAZING too ngl

[@gstudioz3973]

Honestly there are a lot... There is tiger eyes by ryu sujeong,maria by hwasa,magenta by kang daniel, delight by baekhyun... Soloist are killing this year..

[@danielaayllen6554]

WOODZ is one of the best soloists there is, he’s so unique in style and vocals. He’s a great rapper and dancer too. He’s truly an all rounder. I can never get enough of him. He deserves the world and more.

[@irene-anne3306]

1:19 lift up 4:12 accident 7:17 noid 11:00 waikiki 14:17 buck 17:00 memories

[@x_robyn_x05]

Thank you so much!!!😄

[@nonochangbinno]

thank you so much!

[@hey-ui5mz]

For song “memories”, he added FAN’s LYRICS AS WELL (he asked fans to come up with ideas if they want and selected some of them. So he gave credits to the fans as well ;)

[@hey-ui5mz]

HE WAS A “MAIN” PRODUCER/ COMPOSER FOR ALL SONGS

[@woodzmoodz5799]

Not only songs but the main producer of the album 😊

[@luuus805]

OMG WHATTTTTTTT????????? You reacted to album of the yearrr???

[@kpopjeon1775]

omg perIODT

[@luuus805]

@@kpopjeon1775 YESSSS.

[@meghana2056]

YASSSSS

[@justforwoodz]

he's one of the very few excellent soloists and the fact that he produces , composes and writes his music makes it even more impressive not to mention he's both main vocalist & rapper

[@cherine1892]

exactly what I was about to say! it’s so impressive that he writes his own music and performs it so amazingly!! we love an all rounder

[@rhavaniel1591]

Not to mention that he’s a good dancer and incredibly charismatic on stage!

[@abeedahfarjan]

+ an amazing dancer! such an all-rounder 😭

[@ssc6386]

and main dancer + visual haha

[@tarm8523]

whether people want to acknowledge it or not Seungyoun is the ace of kpop. He can sing, rap, dance, produce, write, play instruments, was in the most successful rookie group and can even speak several languages and is extremely funny....... cmon now

[@Lyf4rMusic]

the Guy is Extremely talented individual ! I've heard him do beatbox on Wendy's Youngstreet radio a week ago and he's solid at it !

[@ramandrei_]

seungyoun's voice is really one of the best voices out there tbh and it's not acknowledged enough!

[@dylbyh7993]

One of the most solid EPs from a solo artist this year

[@ludiayludiay3842]

There's no bad song on this album. I have no regrets buying 2 versions. Thank you PD for reacting to underrated talented idols. I personally appreciate it.

[@Nessainthebuilding]

Yo, I did the same. Bought both versions cause it's SO GOOD! And the physical album, both versions are absolutely gorgeous

[@square_cat]

I d like to see this win aoty because it has the potential but based on the capacity of such a small fandom i doubt the will will come true

[@danielaayllen6554]

We can do it :(

[@peacheszhou2411]

not getting 1st win on mb just aching my heart :(

[@DrillOnABeat]

This and Dreamcatcher’s Dystopia the tree of language 🥺

[@hey-ui5mz]

I dont he has that small fandom considering as a solo, cuz he is top5 highest soloist album sale this yr

[@odanilooliveira]

If awards shows was about talent and music he could win, but its all about money and influence

[@vaswatee]

To think woodz produced and wrote all the songs in the album is just mind-blowing to me. He's honestly one of the most talented artists in the Korean music industry.

[@Nightsstar29]

WOODZ's EQUAL album is easily one of the no-skip albums this year and if only quality weighs more than the quantity, it can also be a candidate for AOTY. This is Seungyoun's first EP album ever released as a soloist (he has only been releasing digital singles since then) and he nailed it. WOODZ is the main producer of his album (with the help of his producer friends, especially Nathan from M.O.L.A), curated all songs with purpose, and showcased what he can do as an artist- and he is INSANE for that; He really said I'm a triple threat, an all-rounder! I'm very proud to see your positive response to his other songs and the whole album in general. Also, I super agree that Accident is THAT song. I always get goosebumps whenever I hear it so when PD head bangs halfway the song, I felt that ㅋㅋㅋ

[@eggciel]

EQUAL album gives you all the varieties you search for an album. Lift Up has that Imagine Dragons vibe, WOODZ’s vocals in Accident, Love Me Harder is a bop, NOID is that beautiful sad song-pretty sound and sad lyrics, rapper Seungyoun comes out in BUCK, then lastly, a ballad that is so perfect for his voice memories. album gives you all the varieties you search for an album.

Stan WOODZ! His songs are good, has a cute personality, and we have very beautifully-designed merch!! 💙🧡

[@imaddict20]

Soloist of the year. He really put his passion, sweat, and tears into this album, and it shows. He's the main producer of the album tho.. It's deserve an award 😭😭😭

[@damvanbranith1377]

Even PD is jamming to "BUCK". Get away from me if you don't like this masterpiece!!!

[@amberandrews8799]

I always have to put that song on full volume

[@서유진-o2n]

i dont enjoy rap but pls buck is so good

[@eggciel]

*one second to Lift Up* FOT: ohhhhh me: same reaction FOT

[@Xannexelo]

*His mixed extension is seriously crazy, never heard male vocalist in kpop with the same ease as Seungyeon*

[@mymail6537]

Seungyoun is insane. He became my ult after his debut as woodz cuz his talent is absolutely crazy

[@CassieKei]

Seungyoun's range is seriously out of this world. He knows how to use his voice. Every song in Equal album showed different genre and colour of his voice. He also composes and writes songs. Imagine how his next album will be. Thank you for this listening party, PD. Accident is my favorite dkfkfkkggg I want to sing it but I can't haha

[@izzyfrost647]

‘Noid has to be the lightest thing so far’ oh, PD.......wait till you read the lyrics

[@_itssakura]

I LITERALLY SCREAMED SO HARD HELP FINALLY....

[@morganlefey2239]

id want him 2 win artist or soloist of the year honestly purely based on quality

[@ramandrei_]

STAN WOODZ EVERYONE!

[@a_haute_mess]

to summarize, woodz’ talent is out of this world. his versatility as an artist is amazing. he deserves more recognition tbh.

[@ineedachachabeat1886]

Where are all the Noid stans because I LOVE that song

[@eggciel]

I’m a simple person. I see WOODZ, I like and watch the video.

[@bip7280]

Woodz songs are all special because they're all part of him. He writes, composes, and produces to express himself. And when he does this, he already has pictured his stages in mind. I love Equal not only for how good it is but also for how true it is.

[@배진영-x8u]

I agree with this so much, some people think it's not a big deal the importance of being independent and self-sufficient about its work, but it truly makes a huge difference, you can feel the essence,work and emotions poured into just one track, kinda like homemade cooking lol a genuine and unique way to express love, gratitude :)

[@bip7280]

​@@배진영-x8u Yes. His songs are made by him and made for him. They fit him perfectly and express him the way he wants to be seen as. I'm just simply glad because I know he's going to produce his songs in a consistent and true manner. And each album of his is going to be a reflection of a new era of him.

[@bonvoice5249]

From the very first song till the end, each song gives different colors. Totally different color you can tell. WOODZ is beyond expectation. I hate to know that he was underrated before. Listening to all songs in this Album feels like you'll have rollercoaster. Hope WOODZ/Seungyoun will get much more love from now.

[@sala8938]

OMG I SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THE UPLOAD. THANK YOU SO MUCH PD LOVE YOU

[@orical9079]

SAME

[@maisiejordan4640]

OH MY GOSH SAMEEE

[@huegyu5423]

SAME BRO im about to go to bed

[@Clara-zs2km]

He is an artist who can add his own senses to various genres of K-pop. Video sounds quility is good to hear it together. He is preparing to show another song within this year. According to the artists around him, the unreleased songs are very good. I hope us enjoy his next pieces, too.🥰🥰

[@laysd2576]

Thanks, to that person who asked him to hear accident. ❤️

[@orical9079]

This album is WOODZ showing that he’s an all rounder. Easy one of my fav EP this year he really did that

[@catherine3903]

when you talk about all rounders seungyoun is definitely number one for me without a doubt. he has proved over and over again that he can be a main rapper (UNIQ) or a main vocal (X1) with ease and his dancing is amazing as well. it's just really sad how people are still sleeping on him

[@Chonny2964]

He was also a solo rapper for a while under the alias ‘Luizy’

[@luvvvv124]

Him becoming a solo artist again was one of the best things to happen in 2020 for me. There are certain idols that are so well rounded that them being on their own is a billion times better than being in a top selling group. Like this dude is an ARTIST. And with how hard he's worked all these years its needed.

[@avanaboodhoo7262]

This whole album needs more recognition.

[@woodzmoodz5799]

Even though i'm a moodz myself, i still remember how shock i was when first time listening to Equal. Accident, Lift Up & Buck are my fav in Equal. Seriously deserves AOTY.

[@manua4694]

I've been obsessed with Accident since it came out, I listen to it religiously every day. This album is just TOO good.

[@sophia9464]

He's the ace of kpop periodt.

[@valeriasturabotti6695]

One of the best releases of the year!

[@lilgfbin]

woodz is an incredibly good soloist. more well-rounded than necessary as he's not just either a rapper or a vocalist and a dancer, he's all three plus a producer and songwriter. i'm so glad he's getting the recognition he struggled to get for so long, the fact that he's been working this well for so many years without being acknowledged for it took a big toll on his mental health. and now he's doing nothing but steadily rising in popularity and getting so much love. however, i'll never be able to forget the time he said his dream was being in a kpop group. how absolutely bathed with joy he was with x1. his mood did a 180. he went from singing about not knowing what he was living for anymore in "meaningless" to looking at the people surrounding him with eyes that said "i love you" and "thank you". because x1 gave so much to him. first and foremost, they gave him company, someone to share a goal with. they sung by his side and made those 6 months theirs. when looking at his face, it was so obvious how satisfied he was: he made it. he got more than he was asking for, he got what he dreamed of. he got a family on stage with him and another family cheering for him under it. then it all went south. the rigging was uncovered and the fanwars made it relevant. the dream silently fell apart and then he was alone again. now here he is. and here we are, still by his side. this is what he asked for, but clearly not what he wished for the most. not only was he given a taste of everything he could ever dream of, it was also snatched away from him. and it doesn't help that many other x1 members had a similar background. i will support their projects forever, but i'll always miss what could've been and wasn't. ps. the song "memories" in this album is about his time with x1. fucking heartbreaking. recently, two other x1 members got together for a collab, which was... shocking, fantastic, to put it simply. then the song came out. it's called "memories" too, by eunsang and wooseok. i cried listening to it and reading the lyrics. this song will mean the world to me forever too. i would appreciate it if you could react to it. thank you for this reaction, pd. i tried my best to explain how much it matters.

[@laurenhix09]

Seungyoun is seriously one of the most talented person there is.. he literally can do everything and he is still so underrated. he deserves so much

[@isalvim]

the genre diversity in this ep is INSANE that's pure talent, and i'm glad he was able to show his full capacity as a rapper, vocalist, producer and songwriter

[@msa5623]

Accident ascends my soul into another dimension

[@iammace07]

I just turned 39 few days ago, and I was never into kpop boygroup before except when I started watching SuJu, but when I watched pdx101, i fell deep down and started to stan X1, and was really disappointed of their D*, but then there is Woodz who is just so talented but underrated. He really deserves the success and more. We just cant sleep on this amazing man. Bought his album (my one and only kpop album purchase) because this album is so LIT! And I never regret spending just to support our All Rounder...

[@gordana_194]

Memories is really special song for us cuz we wrote it together with him 🙏💙 Our precious Woodz

[@trishaduong7802]

There were so many amazing songs on this album!!! They all had different vibes and sounds from each other but they worked so well together in the album and really showed off Woodz style and his talent

[@anandaputrimaslahat9980]

FYI this album is being nominated for album of the year in golden music awards. Everyone please support this amazing album

[@jerryberry29]

This album is my absolute fave, so much versatility!

[@roal4691]

Yes, finally a Woodz first listening.. His album is extraordinary tbh, his vocals are really out of this world. I need people to stan Woodz aka Cho Seungyoun, a brilliant artist. PD, we need a review aswell please. 🙏🏻

[@bbibbibu]

buck, noid and accident are my absolute faves off this album. seungyoun did such a great job, it truly is such an amazing collection of songs

[@borah24]

OMG PD! I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR DOING THIS. HE IS AN AWESOME ALL-ROUNDER ARTIST🔥🔥🔥🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺I'M EMOTIONAL. CHO SEUNGYOUN 💛 ~Moodz are always with you.

[@july4792]

Finally listening party to aoty! Thanks!

[@GabyA.]

That was a pretty solid album for me. I wasn't very familiar with Woodz beforehand, but after this album, I am definitely keeping an eye on Seungyeon and his future works💜. I was secretly hoping PD would react to Equal and now I am very happy and excited they did💜

[@esteebee]

truly one of the best, if not the best, solo albums of this year, no question

[@Lyf4rMusic]

I heard this album just 2 days ago for the 1st time and I'm glad to see that PD enjoyed it as much as I did

[@kayla-jd3ob]

Oh no Only Lovers Left is his 4th album 💙 hopefully you’ll check out Woops & SET as well

For me Seungyoun's talent is outta this World. Equal album is such a masterpiece, I am not sorry that if when it is Seugyoun's songs I don't have fav song. This boy have an amazing talent and I look forward what he drop next. I don't care if it will be only a song or an album I just want to hear his voice 💜

[@bubblecarebear]

ITS A FUCKING BOMBASS ALBUM.

[@blairwrelos1891]

Yess!! You reacted to this masterpiece. But pd i wish you keep either your mic volume a bit louder/lower the volume of the songs bcoz sometimes I couldn't hear you very well. I do know this isn't the case with every listening party so maybe check if the volume levels are good before starting the listening party. Loved your reaction to the album tho😊

[@YelleDomingo]

Thank you so much for this!!!! ✨
