Woozi

Lee Ji-hoon (born November 22, 1996), better known by his stage name Woozi, is a South Korean singer, songwriter and record producer.

He is a member of the boy band Seventeen.

Aside from his work as a soloist and with Seventeen, Woozi has also written for other K-pop artists such as NU'EST W, Ailee, and I.O.I.

From a young age, Woozi studied classical music and learned to play the clarinet and other band instruments.

He successfully auditioned for Pledis Entertainment and met labelmate Bumzu, a frequent collaborator on music production.

He graduated from Hanlim Multi Art School and subsequently enrolled in Hanyang University.

On May 26, 2015, Woozi debuted in the self-producing group Seventeen with the single "Adore U".

He helped write and produce every track on their debut extended play (EP) 17 Carat.

In 2016, he and Ailee wrote lyrics for her collaboration with Eric Nam, "Feelin'".

In 2017, Woozi wrote the last single released by the project group I.O.I, "Downpour", whose lyrics received praise.

Later that year, he gifted the song "Thankful for You" (지금까지 행복했어요) to South Korean singer Baekho of boy band NU'EST W, which was featured in the group's first EP W, Here.

He has since become Seventeen's main producer along with Bumzu and is credited for writing over 80% of the group's discography as of January 2019.

Shortly thereafter, Woozi began writing for other artists as well.

Woozi became a full member of the Korea Music Copyright Association in 2019.

On October 15, 2019, Woozi released the song "Miracle" for the soundtrack of the television series The Tale of Nokdu.

In 2021, he worked with fellow Seventeen member Hoshi on his song "Spider", which debuted at number five on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart.

That year, Woozi won Best Producer at the 6th Asia Artist Awards, becoming the youngest recipient of the accolade in the show's history.

He released his first mixtape, Ruby, on January 3, 2022.

Its lead single, the first track he wrote entirely in the English language, reached number one on iTunes charts in at least 18 different regions, including Chile, Mexico, Indonesia, and Philippines.
