Career

In 2017, Woo participated in Show Me the Money 6, where he finished in third place.[2] He gained a lot of popularity throughout the show.

Woo made his debut through releasing a single "We Are", featuring Gray and Loco on September 4, 2017. The single was meant for Woo's final 2 stage in the finals of Show Me The Money 6, but he was eliminated in the top 3 round. The song was a very huge success as it made a successful all-kill in numerous Korean charts.[3]

On October 31, 2017 it was announced that Woo has signed with hip hop label AOMG.[4] Following the signing, he released a single album titled "Anxiety" on November 2, 2017.[5]

Woo released his first EP "af" on November 22, 2018, with the title track "a fence". One of the tracks in the EP, titled "CASH", was pre-released on November 16.[6]

gollark: I'm not criticizing you (mostly), more your choice of programming languages.
gollark: Well, you clearly like languages for bad reasons then.
gollark: The way I've actually seen wait groups used in practice is a way to wait until multiple tasks complete. This is a bodge for parallel for loops.
gollark: Why is it better in the core language?
gollark: Okay. Done, finished scrolling.
