THE BOYZ‘s Sunwoo presented a live performance with his sweet and emotional voice on ‘Limousine Service’.

Sunwoo appeared on Studio K’s original web entertainment show ‘Limousine Service’, which was released on the afternoon of the 5th, and showed off his all-rounder side by performing a wide range of genres from acoustic ballads to pop songs with his attractive voice.

Sunwoo sang ‘bAd’, a track from his new album ‘Dohwaeseon(導火線)’, which was released on the 28th, as his first song upon his appearance. He cheerfully expressed the sly but lovable attitude of ‘Bad Boy’ with Sunwoo‘s trendy vocals, surprising viewers with his sophisticated vocal tone and top-notch vocal skills that make his position as the team’s main rapper seem insignificant.

Next, he reinterpreted Lauv‘s ‘I Like Me Better’ and Radi’s ‘I‘m In Love‘ with his own sensibility, and presented a live performance that was a feast for the ears by completing a fantastic duet of Isekai’s ’Romantic Youthful Love‘ with Imoojin. Also, at Imoojin‘s surprise request, they performed Zico’s ’Day‘ and their self-composed song ’Cream‘ live on the spot, captivating listeners with their unexpected charm that alternates between intense rapping and sweet voice.

Sunwoo, appearing on ’Limousine Service‘, introduced the album by saying, “We released our 9th mini album, and it‘s already been 7 years for us. Still, I think it will be the fuse that will light the fire again without putting it out,” revealing his strong confidence and ambition. Imoojin responded by praising Sunwoo’s vocals, saying, “The sweet and refreshing live performance is a contrast to The Boyz‘s usual intense image. It’s quite a refreshing shock.”

Meanwhile, The Boyz, the group Sunwoo is a part of, achieved half a million initial sales with their 9th mini album ’Fuse‘, and topped the Hanteo Weekly Chart and Global Chart (1st week of November). The title song ’Trigger‘ boasted of hot popularity, entering the Bugs and Melon Top 100 as soon as it was released. They also set a record by entering the top ranks of the iTunes Top Albums Chart in 12 countries, including Thailand, United Arab Emirates, Russia, and Hong Kong.
