INFINITE members helped celebrate Sungyeol‘s 22nd (Korean age) birthday, which was on August 27th. The members didn’t hide their affections towards Sungyeol as they joked around, clearly showing their brotherly affections for him.
The Twitter mentions displayed the close-knit relationship that the INFINITE members share, which fans have been able to observe through variety shows such as ‘Weekly Idol‘ and ‘INFINITE’s Ranking King‘.
L tweeted, “Happy birthday Lee Sungyeol.” Then also wrote another message as Sungyeol’s birthday came to an end, writing, “Your Birthday is over, there’s 364 days left now hahahaha.” When Sungyeol responded to L’s tweet, Dalmatian‘s Daniel brought further laughs as he commented, “No dating on Twitter….”
Woohyun, on the other hand, shared the above picture of Sungyeol while writing, “Happy birthday Sungyeol. The side view of you sleeping is like a sculpture…. oh and.. you’re not a ruined character don’t worry ㅠㅠㅠ I love you forever, forever. I love Inspirits too =_=!!” Hoya chimed in, “I was the first person to tell Sungyeol happy birthday when it turned 12 am but!! (now) it’s 30 minutes before his birthday is over! I wish you happy birthday again~! Thank you for being born Roi haha.” And in response to all the birthday mentions and comments, the birthday boy tweeted, “Thank you everyone for wishing me a happy birthday♥ It’s already been my third birthday after our debut.

INFINITE proved once again that they know how to make fans swoon at their ‘That Summer‘ concert series, which opened in Seoul on August 8th.
While their concert in April filled 10,000 seats each time, INFINITE’s ‘That Summer’ concert series consisted of a much smaller stage with only 2000 seats, making fans feel even closer to the boys than ever before. Their concert series this summer had a ‘summer vacation’ concept, creating a light and joyful atmosphere for fans.
Starting with ‘She’s Back‘, ‘Entrust‘, ‘That Summer‘, ‘Amazing‘, ‘I Like You‘, and a new version of ‘Wings‘, the members blew fans kisses and fooled around amongst themselves, making fans laugh and cheer along with the boys.
Along with their generous fan service, there were a few minor accidents and mistakes that occurred in the standing section of the audience. Member Woohyun said to fans calmly and lovingly, “You don’t belong to anyone else. You’re all ours“, making fans scream.
INFINITE also surprised fans with new unit INFINITE H, consisting of rapper line members Dongwoo and Hoya, who sang a new song, ‘When You’re Not Here‘. The main vocals of the group, Sungkyu and Woohyun, also created a new unit and sang for fans the sweet song, ‘White Confession‘.
The concept for ‘When You’re Not Here’, revealed for the first time during the ‘That Summer’ concert, was a classic black and white look, with Dongwoo and Hoya sitting luxuriously in red chairs, showing off their sexy and chic attitudes, as well as their rapping abilities and charisma.
On the other hand, the vocal line wore softer white tones to match ‘White Confession’ and flaunted the vocal talent they both displayed on KBS‘s ‘Immortal Song 2‘, making fans go wild.
The boys also tried their hand at working as a band with Sungyeol on drums, Dongwoo on bass, L on guitar, and maknae Sungjong on guitar. The new INFINITE band performed an amazing rendition of ‘Over The Rainbow‘. L’s experience from tvN drama ‘Shut Up Flower Boy Band‘ was evident in the performance, as he showcased his live guitar skills.
As expected, the boys displayed their perfectly synchronized dancing abilities, one of the aspects of their teamwork that made them well-known. Hoya commented in the beginning of the concert, “You must be bored because we haven’t been dancing yet. We’re going to dance a lot later. You’ll probably die“, again driving fans crazy.
The group started with easier songs like ‘Nothing’s Over‘ and ‘Cover Girl‘, which have cuter, easier choreography to follow the sweet melodies. The serious dancing started with hit song ‘BTD‘, in which the boys showcased their famous ‘scorpion dance’. They continued with songs like ‘Paradise‘, ‘Feel So Bad‘, ‘The Chaser‘, and ‘Be Mine‘, showing off the perfectly synchronized dance moves that they are well known for.
In addition to their great performance on stage, INFINITE also created adorable videos for the transitions between acts. The videos featured a camping concept and included games that showcased the personalities of each member, such as the ‘truth game’ and ‘rolling paper’ game, during which members spoke their true feelings about a variety of topics. The members revealed that they created the videos to “communicate better with our fans“.
In the ‘truth game’, members were only able to answer with ‘yes’ or ‘no’, making some questions difficult to answer. L answered the question “Nobody in INFINITE comes close to your looks” with a simple “Yes“, and leader Sungkyu explained, “I didn’t come to INFINITE due to my looks“, answering the question with a “No“, cracking the members and fans up.
Sungkyu struggled with the awkward question, “Name 3 reasons why you don’t like our CEO,” to which he responded carefully, “He doesn’t wash, he nags us a lot, and he’s sensitive“, again making the members laugh.
The ‘rolling paper’ game consisted of anonymous messages written to the other members. Sungjong received messages like, “Congratulations on becoming an adult. Just don’t become corrupt” and the shocking “I’ve worn your underwear before“. Sungkyu received, “Please flush the toilet“, and Dongwoo received, “It’s scary when you sleep with your eyes open. You monster“, bringing out even more laughs from members and fans alike.
This summer, INFINITE made unforgettable memories with their fans during the 100 minutes of their concert from August 8th to August 12th.

However, to the question about ranking the members according to their good looks, L stated he was “rank 0″. When he quickly changed his answer by saying, “I don’t think you can rank the members according to the looks because each member has his own charm“, Jaehoon stated, “You keep changing your answers so I’m not sure which one is your true self.”
Also during the episode, Dongwoo revealed the story behind his candy kiss, the famous kiss from the drama ’Iris’, with his “nuna” from the dance school. He caused quite the commotion in the studio when he revealed that the nuna had prepared the bag of candy for their kiss.
