INFINITE thanks fans for their first ever win

After scoring their very first win yesterday on Mnet’s ‘M! Countdown‘, INFINITE tweeted some heartwarming messages to their fanclub, Inspirit.

Member Sung Yeol gushed, “To our INFINITE Inspirits, I love you. President of Woollim, I love you. To our parents who gave birth to the 7 of us, I love you. Sweetune family, I love you. To all the staff, I love you.”

Woo Hyun also wrote, “To our loveable INFINITE members and Inspirits, whom I’m so happy to have been with, I’ll take care of you until the end ♥” (quoting a line from their hit song, “Be Mine”). Woo Hyun also uploaded a picture taken with the other members to commemorate this long-sought win.

Hoya chimed in with a short, but sweet message, “Inspirits, thank you”.

In addition to expressing his gratitude towards their choreographer, stylist, and vocal instructor, Leader Sung Gyu added, “Inspirits, you know even if I don’t say it, right? I love you, my people,” saying what he was not able to say on stage.

Although they made their debut with “Come Back” last June, and followed up with hits like “She’s Back,” “BTD,” and “Nothing’s Over,” INFINITE hasn’t scored a single #1 win on music programs. Both their personal fans and K-Pop enthusiasts have watched over their growth, and recognized that these boys possessed a talent that unfortunately got swept under the rug every time.

Thanks to their persistence, however, INFINITE was finally able to clinch 1st place on a music program, just one year after their debut.

INFINITE tops weekly album sales

After sweeping the daily music charts with their official comeback album, ‘Over the Top‘, INFINITE is proving to be a formidable force in this month’s rush of comebacks, as they’ve also topped Hanteo’s weekly album sales!

The boys had experienced much difficulty during the printing process of their album, as well as had their teaser leaked, so clearing out 20,000 sales immediately after its release is all that more meaningful.

The album is still going strong, as it has a history of ranking first on online portal sites, live sales charts, and now to add to the list, weekly charts. Woollim Entertainment said, “This first album is the product of INFINITE’s sweats and efforts. We’re glad that their hard work has been properly delivered to their fans. We promise INFINITE will continue to work hard to improve.”

INFINITE meets with a food crisis on ‘Sesame Player’


As previously reported, INFINITE returned with season two of Mnet Wide’s ‘Entertainment News‘ variety show, ‘Sesame Player‘, last month.

They’ve been on a roll all year long and have been going through some tough schedules, so when they heard that they’d have five hours of freedom, the boys jumped and cheered with joy. Although they all plan their own individual activities, member Sung Yeol suggested that they all go to Yong-In instead.

The members agree to Sung Yeol’s wish and go to Yong In to play some basketball. Dongwoo, who has an injured ankle, and Hoya are asked to stand on guard outside their dorm for their manager. Unfortunately, things don’t go as planned and the members are faced with obstacle after obstacle until they’re eventually led into a unique situation in which they have to scream, “Sungsan-dong freedom!” Not only that, but their team is also met with a crisis that divides them over watermelons and pork hocks.

Find out why on the show’s upcoming episode, to broadcast on July 6th at 5 PM KST!

INFINITE performs ‘Can U Smile’ on Music Core


INFINITE has made a comeback with their new digital single ‘Can U Smile (Broadcasting Ver.)‘ on this week’s “Music Core“.

The boys, who have emphasized their chicness and powerful synchronized choreography for ‘Come Back Again‘ and ‘BTD‘, maintained the romantic concept that they had for ‘Nothing’s Over‘.

The boys added their acoustic feel for ‘Can U Smile’ and showcased their sweet charms for the broadcast version of the song.


Composer Han Jae Ho and lyricist Kim Seung Soo, who are both known for producing all of INFINITE’s title tracks in the past, combined forces again for ‘Can U Smile’.

The two focused on changing the previous pop dance number to having more of an acoustic feel, making the song perfect for a hot summer’s day.

INFINITE, who debuted almost a year ago, unveiled the digital single to showcase their abilities as musicians, wanting a transition from being known as ‘idols who can only dance’.

The song captures the deep emotions of the boys, with its lingering melody and sad lyrics, such as “I can’t seem to hold on to you with only my heart“. This seems to be enough for INFINITE to make the transition from bright and powerful idols to real musicians.
