Interview: Woosung Talks About “Lazy,” Music, and so Much More
Woosung has made his long-awaited comeback! In his latest single, “Lazy,” Woosung is THE epitome and ultimate mood of just wanting to do nothing at all. The Kraze had the wonderful opportunity to interview Woosung, where we got to know a little more about his latest single, his music, and much more. Here’s what he had to say below:
Q: Congratulations on your comeback! Could you please tell us more about “Lazy” and how the song came to be?
A: Hello, thank you, thank you! I wrote “Lazy” about two years ago when my days were too busy and hectic. I remember wanting to do nothing and just lay around for a couple of days. I needed a small break. Then it came to me that being lazy is not a negative thing. Sometimes we just need a break from this fast world to be free of stress and anxiety. Yes, of course you can’t just always be lazy, but I wanted to say that it is okay to be lazy sometimes and that you deserve to be lazy if you have been working hard. Balance is key!
Q: What is a message or feeling that you’d like listeners to take away from music?
A: Like the song title “Lazy,” we made sure the instrumental had a very relaxing chill vibe to it, so people can just play it and chillax. Nothing too hard on the ears. I hope this song can amplify the listener's feeling of freedom and also help them escape from all the stress that is cooped up from reality.

Q: What's one thing you want to accomplish by the end of the year?
A: To have a full album out.
Q: Aside from much-needed rest, how has your break affected your music style and creating process?
A: This break, for me, broke down many walls I had built up over the years. I got to catch up with friends and family, met a bunch of new amazing people in different careers than music, and finally had the time to look back at myself and my actions. As I matured, I felt that the music was maturing with me. The album I am preparing for this year are songs that I have already written before my break, but I am so excited to share my more recent songs that I have been writing after this upcoming album!
Q: Is there an artist or other producer that you would like to collaborate with? What kind of music would you like to create with them?
A: LANY! I would love to create a style of music that they have already been doing and already are very good at. I would just add some of my own seasonings on top of it. I am a big fan of their sound.
Q: What's your go-to snack at the convenience store?
A: Anything that is sour and jelly.
Q: As the world is starting to open up, what are some things you’re looking forward to doing (traveling, touring, etc.)?
A: Definitely touring, I miss it so much.
Q: Lastly, any final words you’d like to tell our readers and fans who are reading this interview?
A: Go be lazy.
