Biography:

Infinite is a group that had garnered much interest even before their debut. That was partially because they had their own reality TV show "You're My Oppa". Also, they were featured in Epik High's music video for the song "Run". Being that they are under the same management as Epik high, Tablo and Mithra Jin had reportedly taken part in producing the group's first debut mini-album "First Invasion".

Their sound can be described as vintage rock and electronica in their first hit single, "Come Back Again". The music video was even directed by the same director who lead the shooting of the Brown Eyed Girls' "Abracadabra" video. The idol group's management group proudly said that although Infinite is indeed an idol group, they will offer their fans a fresh new sound that sets them apart from the many other idol groups out there. In addition to the sounds of their single, their other songs from their first mini-album also offer some '90's like dance tunes and ballads.

Their real hit came with the song "Be Mine" in 2011. The famed team behind the song was a surefire formula for success. The guys won their first number one with it on a music performance show.

Infinite went on to expand overseas in Japan. They released their first Japanese single "To Ra Wa" in 2011, the Japanese version of "Come Back Again". Their official Japanese debut was through the song "BTD" which was released in November of 2011.

Back on the domestic front, Infinite released their first Christmas song "White Confession" that same year in 2011.

2012 was another big year for the group as they held their very first solo concert in Korea for about 8,000 fans in February.

The members started to branch out doing solo activities. Some of these activities included L being cast in the drama "Shut Up Flower Boy Band". Hoya was cast in "Reply 1997". Woo-hyun was cast in the drama "The Thousandth Man".

The group released their third mini album "Infinitize" that year and the song "The Chaser" won them a triple crown for winning a music chart show for three weeks in a row. The song was also named the best k-pop song of the year by Billboard.

Infinite stayed busy in 2013, releasing their fourth mini album "New Challenge" with the title song "Man In Love". They kept up their activities in Japan as well, releasing their first Japanese album along the way and hitting number one on the Oricon albums chart.

Infinite held their first world tour titled "One Great Step", kicking off in Seoul in August. They had 22 shows in Asia, North America, Europe, and Dubai.

Infinite branched out even wider in 2014, holding showcases in different countries like Japan and Taiwan. They released their second studio album "Season 2" in May of 2014 and then a repackaged album "Be Back" in July.

In September, the group won their first Billboard number one single with the song "Last Romeo". They even became the first Korean artist to top the Billboard Twitter Emerging Artist, and hit number 33 on the Billboard Twitter Top Tracks.

In 2015, Infinite released a mini album titled "Reality" with the title song "Bad" . They went on to hold their second world tour in July, called the "Infinite Effect World Tour". The group also had another reality show about them hit the airwaves, called "Infinite Showtime".

In 2016, the group released a digital single for the summer season, "That Summer (The Second Story)". They then had a fall comeback with the song "The Eye" off of their album "Infinite Only".
