INFINITE announces next concert, ‘That Summer’


INFINITE has announced that they’ll be bringing together 10,000 fans for their new concert, ‘INFINITE Concert, That Summer‘.

Having sold out their first solo concert, ‘Second Invasion‘, just within five minutes of tickets going on sale in addition to selling out an additional 10,000 seats for their encore concert, ‘Second Invasion Evolution‘, the boys are looking to continue their success following their rise to the top with their recent comeback, “The Chaser“.

The members have always talked about wanting to get even closer with their fans, and instead of renting out the largest possible concert hall, the boys are aiming to shorten the gap between them and their fans by preparing a concert that will allow them to do just that.

For a total of five days starting August 8th, the boys will be holding concerts seating 2,000 fans each for a total of 10,000 fans.

The boys will be performing new arrangements and unplugged versions of their hit tracks in addition to creating special summer memories for their fans that they won’t forget for the rest of their lives.

Their company expressed, “The concert will be focused on the connection with the fans that have supported them without change since their debut. Fans will be able to see the full potential of INFINITE’s musical capabilities.”

Tickets will open through Interpark on July 12th at 8 p.m. KST.

INFINITE’s Sungyeol tries out a new airport fashion?


Celebrities’ airport fashion has become a hot topic nowadays and stars are feeling the pressure to put together their most stylish, yet airport appropriate outfit whenever they must brave the crowd of screaming fans as they go back and forth between countries.

However, INFINITE‘s Sungyeol decided to take a new approach at airport fashion by donning the most comfortable and lazy outfit he could find… his bathrobe. However, despite his perhaps, too casual outfit, Sungyeol kept the rest of himself chic with his well groomed hair and celebrity-essential, oversized sunglasses.

Judging by the smiles and laughs of the other members, it seems Sungyeol was perhaps forced to wear a bathrobe as a punishment after losing a game or a bet with the other members. Although seeming slightly embarrassed, Sungyeol manages to hold his head up high as he strides through the airport, trying not to laugh.
