Singer Woodz added seven new stops to add a U.S. leg to his ongoing "Archive. 1" world tour, according to his agency EDAM Entertainment on Wednesday.

The singer will kick off the U.S. leg of his tour in Los Angeles on July 25, before heading to the cities of San Jose, California, on July 27; Irving, Texas, on July 29; Miami Beach, Florida, on July 31; St. Petersburg, Florida, on Aug. 2; Atlanta on Aug. 4 and Chicago on Aug. 6.


Woodz has been on his world tour since opening the show at the Inspire Arena in Incheon on March 14. As of Wednesday, he has performed in Osaka, Japan; Tokyo; Nagoya, Japan; Singapore; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; Hong Kong; Manila; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Bangkok.

His next shows are scheduled in Taipei, Taiwan, on Saturday and Sunday. He will then head to Europe to perform in Berlin, London, Frankfurt and Paris. The tour will continue in Australia with one show each in Melbourne and Sydney, followed by shows in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Mexico City, Mexico, ahead of the U.S. leg.

His ongoing world tour shares the same title with his first full-length album, “Archive. 1,” released in March.

Woodz, whose real name is Cho Seung-youn, debuted in 2014 as a member of boy band UNIQ. He began his solo career under the stage name Woodz in 2018.

In 2019, he appeared on Mnet’s audition show “Produce X 101” and was selected as one of the 11 finalists who debuted with boy band X1 later that year. After X1 disbanded in early 2020, he returned to his activities with UNIQ and as a soloist.
