INFINITE proved once again that they know how to make fans
swoon at their ‘That Summer’ concert series, which opened in Seoul on August
8th.
While their concert in April filled 10,000 seats each time,
INFINITE’s ‘That Summer’ concert series consisted of a much smaller stage with
only 2000 seats, making fans feel even closer to the boys than ever before.
Their concert series this summer had a ‘summer vacation’ concept, creating a
light and joyful atmosphere for fans.
Starting with ‘She’s Back’, ‘Entrust’, ‘That Summer’,
‘Amazing’, ‘I Like You’, and a new version of ‘Wings’, the members blew fans
kisses and fooled around amongst themselves, making fans laugh and cheer along
with the boys.
Along with their generous fan service, there were a few
minor accidents and mistakes that occurred in the standing section of the
audience. Member Woohyun said to fans calmly and lovingly, “You don’t belong to
anyone else. You’re all ours“, making fans scream.
The concept for ‘When You’re Not Here’, revealed for the
first time during the ‘That Summer’ concert, was a classic black and white
look, with Dongwoo and Hoya sitting luxuriously in red chairs, showing off
their sexy and chic attitudes, as well as their rapping abilities and charisma.
On the other hand, the vocal line wore softer white tones to
match ‘White Confession’ and flaunted the vocal talent they both displayed on
KBS‘s ‘Immortal Song 2’, making fans go wild.
The boys also tried their hand at working as a band with
Sungyeol on drums, Dongwoo on bass, L on guitar, and maknae Sungjong on guitar.
The new INFINITE band performed an amazing rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow’. L’s
experience from tvN drama ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band’ was evident in the
performance, as he showcased his live guitar skills.
As expected, the boys displayed their perfectly synchronized
dancing abilities, one of the aspects of their teamwork that made them
well-known. Hoya commented in the beginning of the concert, “You must be bored
because we haven’t been dancing yet. We’re going to dance a lot later. You’ll
probably die”, again driving fans crazy.
The group started with easier songs like ‘Nothing’s Over’
and ‘Cover Girl’, which have cuter, easier choreography to follow the sweet
melodies. The serious dancing started with hit song ‘BTD’, in which the boys
showcased their famous ‘scorpion dance’. They continued with songs like
‘Paradise’, ‘Feel So Bad’, ‘The Chaser’, and ‘Be Mine’, showing off the
perfectly synchronized dance moves that they are well known for.
In addition to their great performance on stage, INFINITE
also created adorable videos for the transitions between acts. The videos
featured a camping concept and included games that showcased the personalities
of each member, such as the ‘truth game’ and ‘rolling paper’ game, during which
members spoke their true feelings about a variety of topics. The members
revealed that they created the videos to “communicate better with our fans”.
In the ‘truth game’, members were only able to answer with
‘yes’ or ‘no’, making some questions difficult to answer. L answered the
question “Nobody in INFINITE comes close to your looks” with a simple “Yes”,
and leader Sungkyu explained, “I didn’t come to INFINITE due to my looks”,
answering the question with a “No”, cracking the members and fans up.
Sunggyu struggled with the awkward question, “Name 3 reasons
why you don’t like our CEO,” to which he responded carefully, “He doesn’t wash,
he nags us a lot, and he’s sensitive”, again making the members laugh.
The ‘rolling paper’ game consisted of anonymous messages
written to the other members. Sungjong received messages like, “Congratulations
on becoming an adult. Just don’t become corrupt” and the shocking “I’ve worn
your underwear before”. Sunggyu received, “Please flush the toilet”, and
Dongwoo received, “It’s scary when you sleep with your eyes open. You monster”,
bringing out even more laughs from members and fans alike.
This summer, INFINITE made unforgettable memories with their
fans during the 100 minutes of their concert from August 8th to August 12th.
