After weeks of close competition, March Madness 2022 has come to an end. Although IU comfortably sailed through the category rounds to take the top Vocal spot before dismissing aespa’s Karina in the semi-finals, our winner was seeded second in anticipation of a strong performance and did not disappoint. Woodz has triumphed with an overwhelming majority, powered by a dedicated fandom drive!
The man of many names was seeded second in the rap category and after narrowly beating Monsta X’s IM in the second round, it was all smooth sailing. Stray Kids’ Changbin, CL, and Chungha all fell before the all-rounder. He did not get to face his fellow Making Our Life Awesome members, the top-seeded Seventeen’s Vernon or Pentagon’s Kino.
Today, Woodz join the illustrious hall of previous winners including Taemin, Minho, Taeyeon, and Ailee. Woodz is crowned this year’s March Madness Winner!
