Infinite (Korean: 인피니트; RR: Inpiniteu; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean boy band formed in 2010 by Woollim Entertainment. The group is composed of six members: Sungkyu, Dongwoo, Woohyun, Sungyeol, L, and Sungjong. Originally a seven-piece group, Hoya departed from the group on August 30, 2017.[1]

Infinite debuted in June 2010 with their EP First Invasion. In 2012, the single "The Chaser" was named Billboard's third best K-pop song of the 2010s decade[2] and was included in Rolling Stone's list of 75 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time in 2020.[3] Billboard subsequently launched their K-pop column "K-Town" with Infinite in January 2013.[4] In March of that year, Infinite's fourth EP New Challenge sold over 160,000 copies in South Korea alone, making it among the best-selling albums of 2013, with the single "Man in Love" also experiencing success.[5][6] Shortly after this, Infinite became the first Korean artist to obtain permission to film at Universal Studios Hollywood for their second single album Destiny.[7] In 2014, Infinite became the first Korean act to top Billboard's Emerging Artists Chart.[8]

Infinite are known for their highly synchronized dancing and choreography[9][10][11] as well as their live vocals.[12][13] They have also endorsed several brands including Samsung and Pepsi,[14][15] and were the ambassadors for UNICEF's 2012 Birthday Campaign.[16] The group placed within the top 20 on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 rankings in 2013 and 2014.

Background

[edit]

Prior to Infinite's debut, Woollim Entertainment was a small company that housed only alternative artists, primarily depending on the activities of indie-rock band Nell and popular hip-hop group Epik High.[17] Woollim's plans to debut their first idol group, which were first revealed in early 2010, came after Epik High's departure from the agency in 2008[18] and a noticeable increase in popularity of K-pop at the time.[19] Attention was first drawn to Infinite before their debut when it was announced that Epik High had merged their new independent label with Woollim and were playing an active role in the debut of the new idol group.[20] Infinite was marketed as a group that, despite being a K-pop idol band, would remain close to Woollim's roots of alternative music by releasing songs with a unique genre that can be differentiated from other singers in the industry.[21]

The name "Infinite" was initially suggested by MC the Max member J.Yoon, and was ultimately chosen as the group's official name amongst other options including "Big Dipper", "Blackberry", and "Super Sonic".[22][23] "Infinite" can be understood to convey the limitless possibilities of Infinite, representing the fact that Infinite will continue to grow and develop endlessly, without being restrained by any boundaries.[citation needed]

History

[edit]

2010: Debut

[edit]

Prior to their debut, Infinite participated in the 2010 Winter Olympics by providing vocals in the chorus of Epik High's supporting song.[24]

L, Sungkyu, Woohyun, and Sungjong appeared in Epik High's music video "Run" while Hoya and Dongwoo served as backup dancers during music shows performances.[25][26] From April to May, Infinite appeared on Mnet's reality television show You Are My Oppa, where the members were introduced to a female high school student (Lovelyz's Yoo Jiae) at their residence and were tasked to provide her packed meals and help her with homework.[27][28] Epik High co-starred on the program.[29]

Infinite released their debut mini-album First Invasion and its lead single "Come Back Again" on June 9, 2010.[30] They also promoted the song "She's Back" from the same album.

2011: Over the Top and advancement into Japan

[edit]
Infinite in August 2011

The group's second mini album Evolution was released on January 7. The group promoted it with the lead single "Before the Dawn (BTD)". The group entered the Music Bank K-chart for the first time.

Infinite made their comeback with their first single album Inspirit. In the music charts, the group finally ran from the top 30 to the top 40, and also went up to the top 10 in the Music Bank K-chart.

Their first studio album Over the Top was released on July 21 along with the music video of their title track "Be Mine". They received their first music show first place award at M Countdown on September 1 and received a "Double Crown" for winning two consecutive #1 places at M! Countdown. Following the success of "Be Mine", Infinite re-released Over the Top as a repackaged album titled Paradise, along with its title track of the same name, on September 26. On October 9, Infinite came first on Inkigayo for Paradise. They then won their second trophy with Paradise on October 13 on M! Countdown.

Infinite unofficially debuted in Japan with their first Japanese single "To-Ra-Wa"[31] on January 26, which was a Japanese version of their Korean debut song, "Come Back Again". Immediately after its release, their Evolution mini album hit #3 on real-time charts for sales in Korea.[32] The song was the top downloaded ringtone on the daily charts of the K-Pop section of Japan's top mobile website. Infinite released various rental singles including "She's Back", "BTD (Before The Dawn)", and "Nothing's Over" before they officially debuted in Japan.

Infinite made their official Japanese debut with the release of the Japanese version of "BTD" on November 19. The B-side for the single is "Can U Smile", a remake of a track from their 2nd mini album Evolution. It is the third track of their first single album Inspirit.

On December 5, Infinite released their first Christmas song, "White Confession".

2012: First concert and Infinitize

[edit]

The group's second Japanese single album was released on April 18. It included the Japanese version of their song "Be Mine" as its title track, as well as a Japanese version of "Julia". The single peaked at #2 in both the Oricon Daily and Weekly Charts.[33] Total reported sales amounted to at least 54,218 copies.

On May 15, the group's third mini album Infinitize was released. The lead single "The Chaser" swept domestic music charts upon release and achieved a digital all-kill.[34] On June 14, Infinite obtained their first triple crown with "The Chaser" on M! Countdown.[35] At the end of the year, Billboard named "The Chaser" the number one K-pop song of the year.[36]

2013–2014: New Challenge, first world tour and Season 2
