WOODZ directly denies rumors of appearing in atomic bomb-themed movie... "Declined after reading the script"

Singer WOODZ has personally drawn a line against rumors of his appearance in a Korea-Japan co-produced film themed around the atomic bomb.

On the 27th, while communicating with fans, WOODZ mentioned the rumors regarding the film ‘Tamako’ and said, “I felt I should address the story you might be curious about.”

He explained, “I received the script, became aware of its content, and informed the company.” He added, “While we were thinking carefully, we declined, and in the midst of that, the reports were released.”

He further clarified, “Since neither I nor the company had taken any action, there was nothing we could say immediately.” He also said, “I am sorry for the commotion,” noting that he could not notify them immediately due to his performance schedule.

WOODZ repeatedly said, “I also felt bad after seeing it on SNS,” but added, “That is the end of it. There is nothing more. Do not worry.” Previously, controversy arose following reports of WOODZ's casting in ‘Tamako,’ a work known to be a story about a boy who lost his parents in the 1945 Hiroshima atomic bomb and follows a Zainichi Korean to Korea, where he experiences the Korean War. WOODZ revealed that he decided not to appear after confirming the subject matter of the work. He has also foreshadowed his appearance in the film ‘Nambeol’ as the actor Cho Seung-yeon. ‘Nambeol’ is a martial arts action film about nine warriors in the early Joseon period heading to Tsushima to rescue captives kidnapped by Japanese pirates. WOODZ is preparing for his world tour encore concert ‘2026 WOODZ WORLD TOUR Archive. 1 : Completed’.
