INFINITE (comprising Kim Sung-gyu, Jang Dong-woo, Nam Woo-hyun, Lee Sung-yeol, L (Kim Myung-soo), and Lee Sung-jong) is returning to the K-pop scene with a sensational new album.
The group is set to release their seventh mini-album, '13egin,' on various music sites at 6 PM on July 31 (KST).
It's been nearly five years since their last release, the 3rd full album 'TOP SEED,' in 2018, marking their triumphant return to the music industry as a complete six-member group. Their matured charm and upgraded music are signaling an all-time comeback as 'K-pop Legends,' which is drawing fervent attention from K-pop fans worldwide.
Celebrating the 13th Anniversary as a Full Team: 'A New Beginning'
Over the past 13 years, the group, symbolized simply by '∞', has left a deep imprint on the music industry. Their outstanding visuals, singing ability, and flawless group dance have set a standard in K-pop, earning limitless achievements through endless challenges.
Celebrating their 13th anniversary as a full team after their military service, the six members, who have been actively involved in various activities as solo artists, have regrouped. '13egin,' is the first step taken by the group in their new home, the 'INFINITE Company,' established earlier this year under the leadership of Kim Sung-gyu. The letter 'B' in the album title stands for '13,' heralding a brilliant second act for INFINITE.
At their 13th-anniversary live party, INFINITE promised to reward their patient fans with a great performance, a promise they plan to fulfill with their new album. Now that the members, who have each built solid careers on their own, have come together again, INFINITE is ready to repay the fans' long wait and support with more powerful music and performances.
Harmony of Unique Color and Novelty: An All-time Great Album
Since their debut in 2010 with 'Come Back Again,' INFINITE has built a unique music world of their own, releasing hit after hit such as 'BTD (Before The Dawn),' 'Be Mine,' 'Paradise,' 'The Chaser,' 'Man In Love,' 'Destiny,' 'Last Romeo,' 'Bad,' and 'Tell Me.'
Their new album '13egin' carries the touch of all the members from the title to the tracks and the concept. After listening to hundreds of demo songs and painstaking deliberation, they've created an album that maintains INFINITE's unique color while reflecting the flow of the past 13 years, producing a high-quality masterpiece.
The title track 'New Emotions' is an intriguing and addictive instrumental from the intro, captivating the listeners. The rich vocals and chord progressions of the six members blend perfectly, delivering a fresh and exciting shock that sticks in your mind.
In addition to 'Intro: 13,' which encompasses another beginning and the meaning of their 13th anniversary, and 'Jet Lag' and 'I Got You,' expressing their genuine affection for their fandom Inspirits, the album also includes 'Find Me,' which reminisces about the brilliant narrative and anticipates the new. Each song allows listeners to fully experience the meaningful 13 years of INFINITE, the overwhelming synergy of the complete team, and their deep love for their fans.
Revolutionary Transformation of 'Sharp Group Dance': Languidly Sexy Performance
INFINITE's signature performance also cannot be overlooked. Living up to the epithet of 'Sharp Group Dance,' they have displayed unique energy with their disciplined and passionate group dance. Now, they aim to capture global fans' hearts once again with a radical performance that matches their new music.
The dance for the title track 'New Emotions' encapsulates the languid and sexy vibe of enchanting men, reminiscent of the subtle fragrance of a high-end perfume, completing a sophisticated yet not excessive performance. The restrained intensity showcases the unique charm of INFINITE, expressing the grace and ease of a 14-year-old debut group, promising a fantastic stage.
On top of the full-team comeback, INFINITE will also hold their solo concert 'COMEBACK AGAIN' at the Seoul Olympic Park Gymnastics Stadium (KSPO DOME) for two days on August 19 and 20. Fans can look forward to a wide range of performances, including songs from the new album '13egin' as well as numerous hits from INFINITE's 13-year history, increasing the anticipation.
