Its been a while since we've seen Myungyeol together at the airport due to L's drama schedule. Its good to see them together!

I know I was trying to find pictures of him and I just couldn't pick two. He looks good in all of them. I think our thread is pretty friendly and mature. I was over at some other threads and their fandoms are at a constant war over who is better looking or the visual, or who is a better singer and blah, blah. It was a mess. I love MIL. The video may have been cheesy but it was cute! And they looked so happy on stage!

Me too! I'm just sticking it out for L. The drama is a mess. The story line is whirlwind, the writing is bad, and the main OTP is flat. Well welcome back to the fandom. My bias also used to Woohyun but now its Myungsoo. If you are thinking of watching any shows I would suggest "This is Infinite" because that was their latest reality show. Its okay we're also holding an event next week at the same time. So you could join us next week! -I think Sungjong just had skinny arms and he didn't want to expose. I've also never seen him wearing tank tops even now. -Yeah Myungsoo he can seriously go from cute to sexy. Its a trait that he uses in magazine shoots. Like here: Cute --> Sexy in the same photoshoot -Yesterday at the chat we also watched his "O" performance and the chat room was quiet for a few minutes as we all were too entranced by his body moves -Lol Sungjong's solo really was good. His figure is even better than mines.

Yay your first post! Congrats! I'm looking forward to Infinite F and Woolim Girls as well!

Yeah Woolim did most of the work but the album sales were split. Which I think it totally unfair but that's how big corporations like SM work when making business deals.

Did something happen?

Its okay! Join next time!

I think with the shorter hair he looks more mature and with the longer hair he looks younger. He could die his hair orange and he could still pull it off because he'd still look handsome.

Wow they all look so good! Infinite's maknae line really is the flower in Infinite F.

I think he has caught on that SN and HW are dating or have some kind of relationship. Why I think he really didn't take it hard is because he is in denial and thinks that if he and SN continue to work together she can eventually come to like him. But I really wish they had done a better job in that scene and explaining their relationship. Well at least she rejected him instead of leading him on. And I feel really confused with this drama overall because judging from the preview Sena is still talking to HW despite the fact that he lied to her. I feel like she is going to forgive him easily when she sees him suffer. IDK. I just don't feel this is right.

Ah my heart! Poor Shiwoo. He's so cute when he's like I won't let you go. And Sena finally hugs him back. Was it just me or did Shiwoo recover too fast from heartbreak? I didn't want him to cry but he should have at least pouted. And those pictures of Myungsoo at the airport so hot! He's really channeling Shiwoo right now.

Thanks! That's sweet of him considering it is a long trip.

Where are L and Dongwoo? They should be heading out to LA if they wanna get some rest before the concert starts.

I'm really tempted. Seeing Sungjong pull the headphones off so stylishly really makes me want to buy a pair. They are almost $300 so I don't think I can buy those without taking a loan. BTW: where is Dongwoo?

I think being able to move people's heart is a lot more important than who has the better singing technique or voice. I've seen this with Myungsoo that his passion is transparent when he sings. That's also an important factor in acting I think. He isn't the best actor but he captivates people's heart in every role he plays. You can see the charisma exude from him and I think that's an essential skill in getting the listener captivated and interested in the song. When I heard Myungsoo sing in the drama, it was a really short performance about 4 lines or so but he put in a lot of emotions in those lines and I even had tears in my eyes as to how well he delivered it. I also don't think its rock but maybe something like an anime opening song. It would be good if they did something like Man in Love or Nothing's Over. Something that's very pop and fun. Myungsoo said that he personally wants to do songs like "That Summer" and they suit his voice well so they also probably took that in account considering he is the main vocal. Another thing I'm a bit vary about is the fact that they might be releasing a summer-esque video when its fall/winter. Judging by the pictures of the music video making it seemed like it was for a summer release but the fact that they are releasing it in November also leaves me a bit vary.Like how well the response will be? TBH I don't think Sungyeol is that much better than Myungsoo like fans exaggerate it to be. In my opinion, Woohyun, Sungyeol, Myungsoo and Hoya are at about the same level. No one is better or worse. They all got equal opportunities to act seeing as how they are getting first and second leads on major broadcast channels. So now you can't even complain that one got too many chances. I know in the beginning it was L who had more but that was just to get the group more recognition. Woolim put him out there to get Infinite more recognized. And honestly, people might complain that he got all those chances but he has always mentioned his members and always led his success to his members. He never once took credit or the spot light but always leads it back to his members. If it were up to him he would have given Sungyeol all the roles. He really holds his members above anything else and he adores Sungyeol so its not like he is stealing them away from Sungyeol on purpose. I think Sungyeol does work on acting and getting out there. He has tried various different roles and is trying to find a role which suits him. So he takes on a variety of roles. I think just give all the four actors in Infinite a few more years and I think they can definitely establish a name for themselves. Because if you look at the other good idol actors they are all in their late 20's and have done various roles to get where they are and get the public's recognition. As long as they keep working and taking lessons they will be fine. Edit: And about Myungsoo's coping mechanisms. I still think he is mentally stronger than Sungyeol seeing as how he has more experience with society and criticism. But I really that some things even get him down and that's when he resorts to alcohol. Its the same with Sunggyu and I really wish they wouldn't rely on alcohol. But with Myungsoo I think he relieves a lot of his stress with photography which he probably didn't have a chance to do in a while considering how busy Infinite has been. But I think he will follow Sunggyu's example and try and quit alcohol.

They are only nominated for Best Dance Group and Song of the Year. I'm actually pretty upset since they sold so many albums this year and did so many activities that they should at least be nominated. But the least we can do is make them win.

He did a good job of covering the nasality in his voice for My Lovely Girl. I don't think he can get rid of it completely like common that's part of his voice he can't change it. But I think he can cover it with his singing. Sunggyu also has a nasal voice but he has learned to cover it or use it to his advantage. For Infinite F I wish Woolim gave us a bit more so we could really judge them but so far all we have are two songs which are really not good songs (composition wise) but their voices are fine. If they want to succeed in Japan they can take two routes as far as I've seen with whats popular in Japanese music: either they could do a rock theme (highly unlikely) or something anime-esque (which seems likely). So I'm thinking they are going to do something like Man in Love or Heartbeat. I think if they did a fun video like Nothing's Over it can garner good results an the song is good as well. The thing is that Inspirits are really defensive about who they like. My friend is a Sungyeol fan and she is always ranting about how its unfair that L gets all the roles. I think one of the first reasons Myungsoo gets these roles is because he is better looking of the two. Its not that I'm hating on Sungyeol but L was better looking and according to Korean's standards L is better looking and is expected to act. Also Sungyeol has a choding image whereas to act even your image needs to be aloof like L's. So he had to shed that image before people casted him. Another reason why I think Myungsoo gets more roles is because he is the face of the group. He has more popularity and can drive in a larger audience than Sungyeol who might not have has many fans. Lastly, to act you need to be mentally strong to deal with criticism. L is constantly under the limelight and is used to the criticism where to me Sungyeol is sensitive. He's very cautious about his weight and holds others opinions too high. So if he was acting it would be difficult to deal with critique. Also I think that's one of the reasons why they chose Myungsoo as the leader of Infinite F because although he is not as smart as Sungyeol he is mentally stronger and has more experience in society especially in Japan.

TBH they all get treated equally. Sure in the beginning it was Myungsoo who was treated the best. But now they are all pretty much at the same level. They are doing their own things so they all have equal opportunities. And I don't really remember a time when Woohyun was treated badly. I guess he was in a tough spot when the scandal with the Inspirits and Shawols happened because he got a lot of hate but I think after Inspirits apologized the Shawols also took back their word. And so what if Woohyun didn't get a solo. He got a lot of opportunists this year. Opportunities that none of the other members got so I don't think he was treated badly. And yeah Dongwoo does get neglected but no one has ever said he is talent-less. They acknowledge him and its good that he is getting more opportunities to get more recognized seeing as how Infinite H is coming back soon and also his appearance on Laws of the Jungle. They are all treated equally and you can't say that Woolim is neglecting anyone. What other company would divide a group into units to give them all recognition?

I just watched it because of L and now I want to just finish the drama because honestly its really boring except for Shiwoo's scenes and the drama is really heading in an awkward route with HW running away with SN. You don't have to stay for the whole time. Just drop by and chat. It will be fun and its a good way to interact with other inspirits. I think they are ready honestly. L did a really good job with singing the song in the drama and I think he has the ability to move hearts. I'm a bit unsure about Sungyeol because he really hasn't sung more than a couple of lines in the past but I think he will be fine. I really want something unique and different from them something we haven't heard from Infinite before. Like how Infinite H has a completely different sound. And I don't get why Woolim isn't releasing Infinite V since both Sunggyu and Woohyun aren't busy right now. They can record a few songs. I saw this post once on tumblr and it was basically Infinite V vs Infinite F vs Infinite H and I thought that was really cool. Hopefully one day they will go head to head and it will be a team achievement no matter who wins.

Ah shoot I totally forgot about Halloween, Maybe I'll have to reschedule because I also have to go trick and treating. Maybe Saturday? I think it will be fun. Also I really just want to finish this drama now and move on to another, It really didn't live up to my expectations. I really love Misaeng so I'll continue to watch that. I really can't wait till Infinite F debuts I'm really excited. I hope their music video and song are good and not something like "I'm Going Crazy". It was okay but I expect something better.

This drama started out well even when it used cliches and tropes it used it well. But it just going down the Heirs path and throwing in complete randomness. I really wish the writer did a better job with the script. If L is going to do another program I wish it will be on a cable network. Those dramas are better written and directed. I want him to do something like Misaeng. I don't know if you watched the show but its really good. I just want him to break out of his usual roles and do something a bit different. Also we're planning on doing a live stream chat for Sesame Player this Friday. Here are the details: http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/112418-infinite-sesame-player-live-reaction-chat/ Join if you are interested. It will fun!

I seriously think HW is really immature character in the story. I was reading the preview and apparently he plans on running away with SN to study abroad in order to stop her from finding out the truth. Like really? Their relationship is based off a lie and no matter how many romantic moments they have, the lie is still in front of everyone's face.

Thanks! I got it! http://onehallyu.com/index.php?/topic/112418-infinite-sesame-player-live-reaction-chat/ Infinite Live Reaction Chat!

Its great to see so many panns about Infinite! Can I ask you for a favour? Remember how I proposed watching Sesame Player together? Do you mind telling me how to start a thread. I'm new to this forum and can't figure it out. Thanks!
