‘March Comeback’ Infinite “Put Our Heart and Soul into Our 15th Anniversary Album... Still Infinite-like” [Photoshoot]

Group Infinite (Kim Sunggyu, Jang Dongwoo, Nam Woohyun, Lee Sungyeol, L, Lee Sungjong) decorated the cover of Cosmopolitan.

This pictorial was specially produced as a book-in-book pictorial to commemorate Infinite‘s activities and 15 years of career, which are shining days. In the pictorial, Infinite showed off their individual suits styling that brought out their individual personalities, along with their unique visuals and soft charisma.

Despite their busy schedules, Infinite displayed their professionalism on set and completed a perfect pictorial with every cut. It is also said that they boasted strong teamwork like a family, maintaining a friendly atmosphere throughout the shoot.

In the interview after the photo shoot, Kim Sunggyu brightly said, “First of all, thank you so much for calling me. It’s nice to meet Cosmo again with a full group pictorial after such a long time.” Lee Sungjong shared his thoughts, saying, “Taking pictures with my hyungs made me think of the old days. We had fun shooting while doing tiki-taka.”

Infinite has been meeting fans from all over the world since December of last year through their 15th anniversary tour, “Limited Edition.”

Nam Woohyun said, “It‘s not because it’s a hot country, but it‘s really hot. There’s a medley of Infinite‘s hit songs in the setlist, and I think I can still hear the voices of them singing along to it.” Kim Sunggyu said, “I was so touched that the response was several times more than I expected as soon as the tickets went on sale. Thanks to you, we also had a fun stage,” he said, expressing his gratitude to Inspirit (Infinite’s official fan club name).

Infinite has confirmed the release of their eighth mini-album, ‘LIKE INFINITE’, on March 6. Regarding this, L said, “Infinite has a clear identity of ‘sharp dance,’, but time has passed and there are definitely parts that have changed since then. On the other hand, there are still parts where all the members fit together like they do sharp dances. It’s a little different, but you’ll still see Infinite-like aspects in this album as well.”

Kim Sunggyu also said, “Since it’s our 15th anniversary album, we put in more effort, and we thought it would be fun to work with people we’ve worked with before. That’s why we worked again with people who worked on songs that our fans liked a lot. The teacher who taught us how to dance in the past also did the choreography for this song,” he added, raising expectations for the new album.

Lastly, when asked what Infinite, who has grown in both skill and experience over the past 15 years, thinks is the virtue of an idol, Lee Sung-yeol said, “I think we need to make an effort to show a new side of ourselves as we grow every time,” Jang Dong-woo said, “I like conceptual looks on stage, but it’s also necessary to show our true selves,” and Nam Woo-hyun caught everyone’s attention by answering, “Communication with fans, love.”
