Someone please collab with Younha or Beige 

 

I think everyone has long wishlists for various solo activities they wish the members could do, but realistically speaking, they just can't make all of it happen...after all, not everything is up to Woollim. Acting roles depend on auditions, and variety show appearances or MC roles don't just happen because you want them either. The only thing really within their control is albums, and their solo and subunit opportunities have been reasonable. Compare to Big Bang, who have done tons of solo and subunit albums--so many that they haven't come back as a group in 3 years. Or look at SJ---KRY's activities were sparse even before Yesung went to the army. SJT and SJH were basically one-time subunits. Henry had his first solo album 5 years after debut despite having ALL the musical talent. Kyuhyun's solo album took more than 8 years from his debut to happen. However long Woohyun's solo album takes, I'm willing to bet it will probably happen before Ryeowook's solo album, and he's 9 years into his career.

 

tl;dr version sure I'd love to see them have more solos and whatnot, but let's also count our blessings and realize that more solo activities would mean either sacrificing group activities or pushing them to work even more than they already are :/

I prefer group activity too since i love them all together instead of only one member doing this and that

 

i love shine too the album is really well put. I even love the intro

 

I just noticed Myung's location in Japan is the one that was used in Hana Yori Dango (Boys Before Flowers). This freaking romantic weaboo. I wonder if his perfect ideal type of perfection is still Inoue Mao -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, back to the start, they all worked -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's just pathetically sad. And it's a shame L reads those comments as they have no critical value. Nonetheless, they do motivate him.

 

Some knock out face that is. He dares even call those things dark circles. Hah. It was probably during the days where INFINITE had to do the above gifs.

 

 

 

 

AMEN, someone understands.

 

I rather have group activities waaaaaaaay over sub units/solos :/. I think just giving Woohyun a solo stint would be fine, but after that, it should be done. I wouldn't mind ToHeart being sacrificed though.

 

Even H took this long to return. And Woollim also has to take care of their debuted artists. Lovelyz is one, but they will debut another boy group in the future.

 

Hi, Don't get me wrong..I also prefer group activities over solos and subunits. It's great that Infinite has consistent releases every year.

All the wishes for the sub units/solos are not all at once...lol..yeah, i know it could take over several years. Tho I hope Woohyun's solo happens sooner. (Must say that SM seems to have changed their thinking a lot, with so many solo releases coming on after the other.)

It'd just be great to see them fully utilize their awesome talent, let each of them to have their spotlight and add on to Infinite's accomplishments/recognition.

My wish for Sungyeol to get more roles was with the hope he would pass more auditions. Variety? I'm not sure to what extent agencies negotiate with PDs to get the talent in. I'm sure it happens tho. Relationship matters a lot too I guess, besides can't ignore that Infinite is a very well known group in S.K. I bet they get love calls from the PDs as well.

I like this convo... huhu.

My unpopular opinions. Always with love for ot7. Don't hate. Just want to have a convo. (yes, i admit it, am a bit tired of photo spam regardless of whoever of the 7 it may be).

Toheart is not enough for Woohyun.  A solo album will show case his full talent. And the songs chosen should be more for a broader, adult audience. Or general public if you will. His voice and performance has great potential for this. IS2 convinced me. Yes, strong songs that stretch his vocals. Though HSLO brought him more love, his focus should be mainly on music and a lot of it. But having said that, he is a natural entertainer, he should be on more variety shows like before.

Sunggyu needs to do another rock album and promote the hell out of it outside of the weekly music shows.He is also a natural born singer like Woohyun. He just has it. The musicals helped him develop I'm sure, but this guy needs to be promoted to Nell level audience.

Woollim is going in the right direction with Dongwoo with his featurings. And his singing voice is pleasant and getting very much stronger. He could do both rap and singing featuring. So pls more of that for him. At the same time, he has such a free and endearing personality. More variety pls, love to see him on Real Men.

Hoya..what can I say about Hoya? He's so multi talented, he does very well in just about anything - dancing, rapping, singing, acting. If Hiya gets good reviews, Hoya's long term standing in entertainment is just about sealed. He always gives me the impression of a very stable person. No talking, just does it. Love to hear an R&B song from him, his voice really suits that.

Sungyeol...sigh..i'm glad he got Infinite F, mobile drama (2013) and HSLO. I just wish he got more parts and in better dramas like the ones TVN have. His voice is much better than before. But he still has a long way to go. It just doesn't stand out much. Love that he is a free personality like Dongwoo. So more variety pls, esp Real Men too. Maybe that will highlight him more to the drama PDs.

Myungsoo...obviously he is very determined and working very hard to achieve all his goals and it shows. Now a 3rd photobook is on the way! I said before, I think he should also try writing songs for Infinite F. It may give them a more unique brand and Infinite F will sound lovely with acoustic songs. His voice though getting so strong now, is still quite nasal, sometimes it hurts. If he could control that, then homerun. His acting is improving, but I want to see him do more supporting roles instead of lead (i dunno maybe his next drama will surprise me). Supporting roles are important and not "lower" level, I think they will help to sharpen his skills and confidence.  This is common among most actors. I hope he realizes that he needs to stop reading every negative comment. He should refer to trusted people with experience instead of netizens. And also that while he is troubled that his looks get most of the attention, he should realize that his looks actually opened many doors for him. Take the chance to show the upgraded L. Quality will always be recognized.

Sungjong....he has grown so well. He has such chameleon looks, innocent, sensual, boyish, manly, and just beautiful. I'm glad he is getting more chances now - emceeing, solo shoots. People forget he did a lot for Infinite in early days going to many variety shows alone as a teenager and doing everything that was asked of him. His voice is improving, much stronger than before and he has a unique tone that helps him to stand out. I hope he finds the right songs that suit his voice. He knows his weaknesses and is working hard to develop himself. Unfortunately, he suffers a lot from stereotyping and people misunderstand him. I think he needs to show people his real character more. The aegyo, naive Sungjong is for the fans but the real Sungjong is opposite. In private, a quiet, serious guy who hardly talks in the dorm (hyungs words not mine). He keeps everything internal and he has admitted recently that maybe he endures too much. It's not a good thing for him. Just looking forward to the day that Sungjong realizes that even with his true self, the fans can still feel his appreciation to them.

Oops the last Sunggyu video din post properly. Here it is.

I posted Namu performances from IS2.

Jonghyun & Yonghwa's solo debuts has got me thinking about Sunggyu's & Woohyun's solos and the potential artists they would feature.

 

Who would you guys like to see them collab with?

A WOOGYU duet is overdue at this point...boys please

Myungsoo would more than likely go for a softer sound- back to the good old times, acoustic guitar & his voice

Any words about Infinite H? I miss these speciurr boys

Reposting this. We need a main vocals appreciation. Those 2 guys have anchored Infinite's songs for so long. They both have the talent to LIFT up a song to a higher level.

Nam Woohyun full power 3 freaking years ago. Woolim, please give Woohyun a solo album release as well. A quality voice like his deserves it. Listeners deserve it.  Don't care who he collabs with, it'd sound good. But must have a collab with Sunggyu.

Woogyu. Wonderful performance from Infinite V 2 years ago. Woohyun was sick at the time but he still delivered great vocals and dance.

Sunggyu's voice clear and A+ as always and so happy here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxo4vILBQ5E

Sunggyu. Also ~2 years ago. Specially with these 2 songs, they went straight to the heart. Besides Woohyun, must collab with Kim Jong Wan (Nell).

Hello OH, I missed you but i had to tend to my little monster. too too tired now. pasting the comment i put in AFF.  btw, Pls forgive my story updates here...I really do look forward to your comments, lovely OHers.

Chap 7 is done..good gawd..this was another tough one. Sungyeol made me start the chapter Sungyeol style. I hope you get the humor! Then I planned for a bit of tension. But then the story decided to write itself AGAIN!!! And went in a more darker direction from the lighter tension I had thought off! I'm too tired now. Will start Chap 8 soon. Hopefully Chap 8 will behave!!

Another incredible performance from IS2. Enjoy the sheer quality of Namstar's voice.

Because Nam Woohyun at full power is beyond amazing, spectacular. *stands up to clap* And this, my friends, was 3 years ago.

Adding to the Woogyu posts, this wonderful Infinite V performance from Immortal Song 2 in 2012.

Woohyun was ill at the time, but he still sang and performed so well! And Sunggyu was a ball of happy!

It's a really a joy to hear them sing together.

EDIT: Better quality version

I don't know, I just ended up writing a lot - some complete crap, while others better and I did take a break within the 8 years where i probably didn't write for 2 years or so (I wrote for a few prompts on prompt memes (x-men, tron), but nothing substantial). I don't have any of my old stuff since it's pretty much crap and holds all the rookie mistakes for fanfic writers like constant POV changes, plot holes galore, etc... It took me a while to get to where I am right now and even then I still struggle.

 

Since you're using AFF, if you want to get some more readers, you should spruce up your beginning notes a little and even if you're just writing friendship, you can still use pairing tags. Especially if some of the boys in your fic are going to have substantial friendships with each other. It's harder to get readers for stories sometimes if you're not just using member tags, unless you've built up a substantial fanbase to allow it or your story is good enough to get readers through word of mouth. There is also the fact that many people like stories that have a clean look to them. (For instance, if someone uses like 500 colors for their beginning notes, I won't read because it hurts my eyes (silvers/grays and turquoise-like colors are the worst)... And it's usually surefire way to tell that the person writing is a rookie and some people just don't like to read fics from rookies.)  

 

I haven't gotten to read it yet, but from doing a quick glance of some of the chapters, you should make sure that you're starting a new paragraph whenever a new person speaks. So the conversations in chapter two and other chapters should be broken up into smaller paragraphs. It's grammatically correct to do that and it's less of a mouthful for readers when they read.

 

This is my account: http://www.asianfanfics.com/profile/view/338974 

Ok cool! Lucky I din go crazy with colors! I'll have a look at the tags and clean ups. English is not our official language so I might make mistakes here and there. But really, thanks for the advice!! I'll read your stories after I am done with my little monster!

Hi Guys, finally done Chapter 6. They meet Sungyeol in the 2nd half of the chapter. Because Sungyeol is a wonderful unusual unconventional person, he gets 1.5 chapters.  So chapter 7 will still be more Sungyeol based.

And the feel of the 2nd half is different from the other chapters.

All this happened naturally and there was no way I could stop it. Because Sungyeol made it that way.

Now you'll never be able to stop... I should know since I've been writing fic for quite a long time now (almost 8 years I think - on and off though and I've been reading fanfic for about 10+ years now) and every time I think I'm done with writing, I get pulled back in. Now, you'll want to start new stories and you won't always be able to finish your old stories. And then you'll eventually write things that you never thought you would ever write, but somehow end up writing anyway. It's a slippery slope my friend. 

8 years of writing fan fiction? how did u ever do it?! do you have links?

i'm freaking out writing my 1st one, by some blessing, i've reached chap 5 (gasp gasp) n so far nice feedback. thank the writing god!

i'd be honored if you read mine and comment here or there as you wish.

http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/888061/infinite-power-action-fantasy-friendship-infinite-myungsoo-sunggyu

how dare you, missy! this type of distraction is not good for an author in progress!

yup i did i like how you developed. woohyun's character, he can be greasy but he is not someone people can mess with, ^V^

and i love love a song of ice and fire.

 

oh btw i commented using my asianfanfic account

 

....will you have pairings ?

thank you! Woohyun naturally turned out like that! I think what I felt about each member in real life blended into the story.

Pairings...hmm...I might reference them here and there.  I don't want them to burden the story, you know?

I'm always thinking about how the story balances.

 

wow , i really like this, i can feel each member in the story, and the story has a feel of a song of ice and fire, are you perhaps a fan of that series?

 

OMG Thank you!!! Thank you!!!

Wow, song of ice and fire....i wasn't even thinking of it! I have read a LOT, I mean A LOT of fiction, fantasy, science fiction, epic stuff (song of ice and fire included..i love..). I really really wasn't thinking of any of them. I dunno, maybe all the books i've read have gone into my blood! haha! i'm so glad you enjoyed my little story!

Have u read chap 5 already? Woohyun, a complicated guy, longest chapter too so far.

I need to take a break before Sungyeol's part. But it shud be up later today.

Chapter 5 is up! Woohyun is in the house! + manager Jungryeol. This is getting hard but I like what I've done so far. Left Sungyeol now...off I go!

Pls comment! I really want to know what you think so far!

This kid is having the bestest time in Japan.

l.ifnt insta 150105

 

Hoya is giving me feels lately

 

*bows down to the Hogod*. He has that aura of strength and power. You can feel it even if he's just standing there like this.

 

Infinite won best performance during SBS Gayo Daejun through text voting

  And their performance was one of the shortest ones too!!!! I'm just sobbing rite now...so proud of them!

They have flop taste. I forever don't understand the whole "Actress/Actor vs Singer looks" thing. Such a weird way of rating someone looks by their job

 

for me Sunggyu >>>>>>> won bin

 

so beautiful

Gyu is perfect the way he is. Yeah, >>>>Won Bin!

In the race to get the "perfect" features, people forget that imperfections actually add to a person's attractiveness and makes them unique.

Gawd, sometimes when I see pictures of idols, I can't differentiate between them cos of too much PS.  I saw picture of female idols from different groups once, and they all had the EXACT photocopy nose. Freaked me out.

omg I am so excited for this song. Loved it at the very first second I heard it.

 

I remember seeing this photoshop of sunggyu's eyes before and it doesn't look right to me. I prefer his natural eyes.

 

Pls remove this horror!!!   *insert horror music here*

Curses on the person who did this photoshop! It's BLASPHEMY!

Koreans have impossible beauty standards like small heads,pale milky skins and round large eyes,double eyelids etc

 

they emphasized too much on the looks rather than skills

This. 

Only look skin deep and end up missing the best part a person has to offer. Though looks are appreciated a little too much everywhere but I don't think I've seen it to the extent of K-Netz.

There is one beauty product I really hate to get the large eyes effect: circle lenses. I think they oughta be banned. Let me see your own beautiful eyes!! Wish idols wud stop wearing that. In fact anyone. Hides their soul.

i can believe people say this guy is ugly

what makes him tho? chubby cheeks? small eyes?

Sunggyu is Sexy, end of story.   Sexy doesn't mean their looks but their inner self, how they carry themselves, that special XXX.

It makes the not "typical handsome" guy very attractive. It's the K-Netz who are missing the sex appeal.

IG update from L!

ジブリスタジオ

what? wait, is he traveling alone??

Of course he would, lol.

 

 

 

 

 

It wouldn't be the first time he's traveled alone to Japan.

Mystery solved. He was spotted shopping in Japan with 2 stylists.

EDIT: via Infinite7soul trans from halfwxx insta: he was spotted in Daikanyama T-Site Tsutaya Book Store.

halfwxx spotted them in Starbucks too..

Also, other twitter mentioned he was in full makeup. LBV3 promo? Anywayz, enjoy Japan L! While I sit here in jealousy waiting for the day when I can go to Japan for holiday tour! 

You guys! I've started it! The fanfiction based on my scenario in Infinite manga thread is really happening!

4 chapters done! So far the team is now Sunggyu, Dongwoo, Hoya, Myungsoo and Sungjong. Left Woohyun & Sungyeol only to make the team complete. Boy do I have plans for when they meet Woohyun..hur hur!

I've mixed the serious with some funny parts.

When they all meet though that's when the tension/action starts!!

Pls pls read it. All the characters and how they meet are written with much love for each of them.

So far I'm quite pleased with it but now i'm too tired. I do want to hear your opinions! I'm posting my comments in the Infinite Manga thread too!

fanfiction: http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/888061

the thread that started it all: http://onehallyu.com/topic/129769-fun-if-infinite-were-animemangamahwa-characters-they-wud-be/

Hi guys! Sorry to intrude but does anyone perhaps know if Infinite is going to Vegas tomorrow?

Hi there! no worries. Haven't heard about this. Doubt it though with a subunit busy preparing for Jan promotions while one member is filming movie. What's going on in Vegas?
