K-pop boy band INFINITE at Billboard Korea’s studios
Billboard Korea
At 10 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, INFINITE walks into Billboard Korea’s studios with their entourage of stylists and managers greeting everyone with a huge smile. The boys, slickly dressed in black suits with Etro-esque prints, are in a good mood. Woohyun, Hoya and Dongwoo seemed the most energetic as they took turns singing and dancing in between breaks. Woohyun was looseninghis vocal chords belting out blurbs from classic Korean ballad, Position’s “I Love You.” Meanwhile, Hoya and Dongwoo were crooning and popping out dance moves. L was focused on snapping away pictures of members with his mammoth EOS 5D, possibly for a photo project he may release in 2013 as he told Billboard.
With the highly-technically vocal and choreography needed to pull off songs like “BTD (Before The Dawn)” and “The Chaser,” it’s as if the group needs to be in constant motion to keep their skills sharp. But Billboard got INFINITE to sit still long enough to pose for a few pictures. Check out our photoshoot with INFINITE and get to know each member a little more. Then be sure to head to check out our exclusive interview with the boys where they talk about their new album, upcoming projects, and what being named Billboard No. 1 K-Pop Song of 2012 meant to them.
