[INTERVIEW] 110407 - HARU*HANA Magazine

Posted by Adinda Aprilia K.R. , , 05.26


They arrive with a new style called limited rental singles! 
  
Making their debut in Korea with the song “Come Back Again” with a mix of the memorable guitar replay and digital sound, INFINITE garnered attention for a “stylish song that didn’t seem idol-like.” They have for 4 months released continuously limited rental singles in Japan! 
  
● The term “limited rental single” is the style you guys are approaching with your debut in Japan nearing. How do you feel? 
   - Woohyun: Honestly, we didn’t know either. In Korea, there’s no shops like TSUTAYA, so the feelings are fascinating. 
   - Dongwoo: But being the firsts to attempt with that approach in that rental shop made us extremely happy. 

[*T/N: Tsutaya is a rental shop in Japan where you can rent DVDs/CDs and I believe that Infinite is the first Korean group to take this approach in putting out their albums for rentals.] 
  
● INFINITE is known for their uniformity in their choreographies. How long did you practice? 
   - Dongwoo: It varies on the day, but it’s often that we practice from the middle of the night till dawn. 
   - Hoya: To see if our choreography is perfect, we record it on tape to check. We replay it over and practice the parts in having our hands or feet be in the same direction. 
            
  
● What do you think is INFINITE’s charms? 
   - Dongwoo: All the members’ distinct characters are everywhere (^^) 
   - Sunggyu: We goof around but when we dress up, our attentions are focused and we work hard. In that case, I think that image of us can also be a charm. 
  
● You’re under the same company as Epik High. Are there any advice your seniors Epik High gave you in advancing to Japan? 
   - Sunggyu: Our seniors are currently serving in the military, so we don’t get to see them often but… When there’s time, they come over to our dorm and give us various advice over drinks in a light atmosphere.
   - Woohyun: Our seniors always tell us, “No matter how tiring and difficult it mayget, don’t forget to enjoy music.” We are never forgetting these words and we want to work hard. 
  
● All the members are living in dorms, correct? How do you share the rooms? 
   - Sunggyu: I share the same room as Woohyun. We’re the “main vocal” team. 
   - L: Dongwoo hyung and I share a room. 
   - Sungjong: Sungyeol hyung, Hoya hyung, and I share a room. We’re the bed team. (^^) 
   - Sunggyu: The other two rooms use blankets. 
   - Dongwoo: L and I sleep on a mattress. 
   - L: Dongwoo hyung collects stuffed animals, so there’s a lot piled on top of the mattress. It’s already crowded enough and the space for me to sleep is getting smaller. (^^) 
  
● On April 2nd in Japan, you will open a showcase. Do you have any desires or mind-sets of it? 
   - Sunggyu: It’s the first time showing a performance in Japan, so we want to show our all! 
   - Hoya: We want to meet our fans who’ve waited for us in a good image. 
   - L: We will work hard in showing the best stage for a group!  
   - Sungyeol: This is my first time going to Japan, so I’m really anticipating it. 
   - Sungjong: I want to eat lots of delicious foods. (^^)

INFINITE interview [Donga News]

Posted by Adinda Aprilia K.R. , , Selasa, 05 April 2011 04.04



▶ The masculine image is more comfortable for us, but the responses to the brighter image was better.



-Between the masculine image shown through the song ‘BTD’ and the bright and cute image shown now, which one do you prefer?
“I like the bright and cute concept better.” (L)
“Honestly, I think the bright image is awkward. I think I’m more comfortable with the masculine image, but the responses to the brighter one was better. The fans like my bright image.” (Sunggyu)


-What are the requirements to being a cute man?
 “It’s important to follow through with your own style. It’s not by standards, but expressing yourself.” (Sunggyu)
(Then L copied the cute choreography of Sunggyu’s part in which he does on stage). “L always makes fun of my part in the choreography. It’s also a form of advice for me to make my choreography look cuter on stage.” (Sunggyu)

“Leader (Sunggyu) hyung has aegyo surprisingly. When he’s tough, he’s tough, but he also has a lot of aegyo. He’s the best man ever.” (Sungjong)

-From the songs you released, which one is the most memorable one?
“For me, “Nothing’s Over” is the most memorable. Honestly, this song was recorded a while back and I was the guide [T/N: Guides in singing usually are the first demonstrators to sing the song so that the composer/producer can work with it before they officially record] and so I sung this song by myself then. L was the first one to record and it fit him so well. It made L shine. Woohyun sang the end part really well also so it made me think that even if I didn’t sing by myself, it’ll do well on its own. They also wrote the rap themselves, so they liked it. The rap was written by Hoya and Dongwoo themselves.” (Sunggyu)
“Mithra hyung helped us with the rap. Mithra hyung is good to us. He’s very humanistic.” (Hoya)
“Hoya and Dongwoo go over to Mithra hyung’s house and even eat together.” (Sunggyu)

-What kind of advice did Epik High give you in terms of music?
“They gave us a lot of strength. They taught us how to store our own color into music. ‘There may be a specific style in which the composers want, but try to express to your best and fullest your own color and emotions.’” (Dongwoo)


▶ Doing laundry and washing the dishes, we do everything ourselves. I was pinned by the closet before.

-You all live in a dorm together, right? If men live together, you don’t clean, do you?
“Our dorm is clean. There are often times where we aren’t able to clean due to influx of schedules and not being able to go home. At those times, it’s a bit messy.” (Sungyeol)

-Do you do the dish washing and laundry yourselves? 
 “Washing clothes by hand and dish washing, we all do it. We take turns doing the chores. We don’t hire someone as we do it ourselves. There’s turns in when to do it, but sometimes they pretend to sleep. Like last night, it wasn’t my turn but I did it.” (Sunggyu)
“Yesterday, it was Woohyun, Sunggyu hyung, and my turn but everyone was sleeping besides me. Sunggyu hyung sympathized woohyun and said “Hyung will do it.” That’s when I felt that Sunggyu hyung was really a hyung.” (Dongwoo)
“Often times, our closet falls over so we have to fix it ourselves. Once, I was pinned by the closet.” (Sungjong)
-Do you cook your own meals?
“We make instant noodles and folded egg [T/N: It’s like cooked egg but folded into layers…]. Each person takes care of their own meal and they put the dishes away themselves.” (Woohyun)
-What other types of food do you like? Meat? Sashimi?
“Ah, we faint at the sight of meat and sashimi. If the members eat it, we eat all of it in 20 minutes.” (Woohyun)
-How do you maintain your bodies then?
“Ah we don’t. We’re melting away our chocolate abs. We lose weight through dancing. When we don’t have schedules, we dance for 18 hours from morning to dawn.” (Woohyun)


▶ Like the name ‘Infinite,’ we don’t want to be bound to one set of color


-You keep changing the color (style) of the group – is it to give diversity?
“We don’t like being one set of style. Our group name is Infinite (limitless). We set our motto as being not just one color, but also showing various color, so we present various images. We want to continue to do that and we have the confidence to do it well also. 
-Lastly, your plans from now on during promotions or words you want your fans to remember.
“We’re an idol group, but we really like music. We want you to remember Infinite as a group that really likes music. Also, we want to remain as nationwide singers that our fans can remember.” (Sunggyu, Woohyun)

Posted by Adinda Aprilia K.R. , , Selasa, 29 Maret 2011 03.19


Infinite’s Album, Cannot Sell Because There’s None Left?
Ran out of 20,000 copies for the first time - Going to produce an additional 10,000 copies
Competing with Big Bang and DBSK on album chart rankings
The group, Infinite, has entered as ‘Album Eaters’ 
All 20,000 copies of their new single that was released on the 17th, ‘Inspirit’, has been sold for the first time. Infinite is competing on Hanteo’s chart, the information site for total albums sold, with large seniors like DBSK and Big Bang. They were 4th place on the weekly chart for the 21st and were 4th on daily charts for the 26th and 27th. 
A representative from Infinite’s company, Woollim Entertainment revealed, “We weren’t expecting the sales to be high because it’s a single and not an official album, but the needed quantity started increasing. Retail stores are running low so 10,000 more copies are being produced.” 
The single’s title song, ‘Nothing’s Over’, is doing well on music charts. It is entering at a high rank on various music sites’ real time charts and is starting a heated competition.

TRANSLATION 

You are drifting away
You’re becoming [to look like] a point, far away
My feet won’t move
Only my heart is chasing and following you
I still can’t even explain it
You’re taking a step back, goodbye
For just a moment, I goodbye, goodbye
Nothing’s over, nothing’s over
Nothing’s over, nothing’s over
Nothing’s over, you’re reciting a spell to me
You can’t see another guy
You can’t be already like this
It’s not the end yet, it’s not the end
I didn’t send you away
I think about you all day long
Even if I’m in the dark for a moment
I’m wandering around, searching for you
I’ve closed in my feelings
When you came to find me and held me
Inside your warm melody
I hear that, never forget you
I’ll be fine, my baby
Nothing’s over, nothing’s over
Nothing’s over, nothing’s over
Nothing’s over, you’re reciting a spell to me
You can’t see another guy
You can’t be already like this
It’s not the end yet, it’s not the end
I didn’t send you away
When we met each other for the first time
I was just shaking so much
The words you said to me
I was a fool to believe them
I couldn’t sleep because of thoughts of you
I was trying to push them all back
Hold me even though you’re drifting away
Hold me
We can separate, yeah we can
But not like this, not like this
I can’t end it, you can’t see another guy
You can’t be already like this
It’s not the end yet, it’s not the end
You’re the only one to me

[INTERVIEW] March 2011 Edition of Junior Magazine Part 4

Posted by Adinda Aprilia K.R. , , Kamis, 03 Maret 2011 00.22

‘The Art of Seduction’
A seductive comment that would work 100% of the time or my charm
Dongwoo: Doesn’t work! My charm is my strength and greasy eyes.
Sungjong: I will honestly tell her that I like her.
L: Ah, excuse me! You dropped this.
Sunggyu: Shall we go out to eat together?
Hoya: I will show her my own stage.
Sungyeol: Aegyo? [Acting cute]
Woohyun: As soon as I open my eyes, I see you. That’s my way of expressing my interest. But to be honest, I never got to try that out on a person I liked, so pass~

‘2012’
How will you respond to the apocalypse?
Woohyun: I will plant a tree.
L: I’ll plant an apple tree.
Sungjong: I’m going to pray.
Dongwoo: After saying goodbye to my family, I’m going to sleep. So I won’t know if the apocalypse comes.

‘Night of the Living Dead’
Everyone became a zombie. What’s your choice as the only person left alive?
Sungjong: I’ll keep running away whilst fighting them. I’ll save this world by finding a potion that will make them turn back into human beings.
Dongwoo, Sunggyu: There’s definitely another person who’s not a zombie. I have to find that person.
Woohyun: I will live with the zombies in peace, like good friends.
Hoya: I’m heading to the ocean.

‘The Proposal’
What’s the proposal of your dreams?
Sungyeol: I’m going to confess my love on worldwide television.
Dongwoo: I’m going to borrow a small boat and make it look like a coincidence. When there’s just the two of us, I’m going to confess my heart.
Hoya: I’m going to compose a song made especially for one person and then sing it to her.
Woohyun: I’m going to make it so that only my face will be on all TV channels and confess my love. 
Sunggyu: I’m going to buy my girlfriend a private airplane. I’ll already be on the plane, and welcome her. Then we’ll leave together on a vacation.
Sungjong: At a mountain summit, I’m going to kneel and propose to her.
L: In a sincere voice, I will ask, “Will you marry me?”

[INTERVIEW] March 2011 Edition of Junior Magazine Part 3

Posted by Adinda Aprilia K.R. , , 00.19

‘Truman Show’
You had to do a live show for 24 hours. Most embarrassing moment?
L:  I turned on the computer secretly at night. I succeeded. Happiness last for a little while, 3 seconds later I turn around and see my mother standing at my doorway.
Sunggyu: I went to a restaurant and I find that I have a hole in my sock.
Woohyun: (M! Countdown) first broadcast… ripped pants.
Hoya: I haven’t had any really embarrassing moments, but if someone was watching me, I would think that all my moments would be embarrassing.
Dongwoo: I went into the girls’ bathroom by accident and, rather, I got mad at them.
Sungyeol: I thought no one was there and started to change my clothes. My god!!

‘Jaws’
You went to the ocean with your members, and then Jaws appeared. If you don’t save them quickly, everyone will die. Who’ll you save first?!!
Sungyeol: If one person was going to die, I think it would be better if we all died. 
Hoya: I’ll find a way to save everyone.
Dongwoo: We’ll all kill Jaws and eat him together.
Woohyun: One Jaws is nothing.
Sunggyu: I’ll save the youngest, Sungjong, first. And if I just pretend I’m dead, don’t you think Jaws will go someplace else?
Sungjong: Since Dongwoo hyung can’t swim, it’s possible that he’ll drown, so I’ll save him first.

‘i-Robot’
The robot I need is?
L: A twin robot that looks exactly like me. I want to see what I act like.
Sungjong: A robot that cleans, cooks, and gives me piggyback rides.
Sunggyu: A robot that washes me. When I’m tired, I can just lie still and it’ll do it all for me.
Woohyun: Cleaning robot. Housemaid robot.
Dongwoo: A robot that won’t get tired even if it dances all day and can play whenever everyone else is asleep; infinite stamina robot. A robot that has a lot of storage space and can organize pretty well.
Sungyeol: A robot that’ll improve my entertainment skills.

‘Titanic’ 
I can give my life for the one I love.
Woohyun: Of course, you can bet on it.
Dongwoo: I’m going to live and save the other person, too.

‘Memento’
You can’t remember anything for more than 10 minutes. Still, what’s the one thing you never want to forget?
Sungyeol: The memories I’ve made with my family
Dongwoo: I don’t want to forget myself.
Woohyun: When all the fans became one and sang our song at our fanmeeting. I was so touched that I cried a lot. I never want to forget that.
Hoya: Memories with the people I love.
Sunggyu: I don’t want to forget the person that I love and care for.

‘Castaway’
You’re stranded on a deserted island. You need one member and three things. 
Dongwoo: Woohyun. My things are a shovel, a hammer, and a knife!
Woohyun: Dongwoo. If I’m with Dongwoo, I don’t think I’ll be bored. Computer, foodstuffs, and cellphone.
Sunggyu: L. Toiletries, MP3 player, cellphone. L is quiet, so I don’t think he’ll disturb my vacation. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get a good rest in a place where there are no people.
Hoya: Dongwoo hyung. Notebook, MP3 player, blanket.
‘If Only’
Your last day with the person you love.
Hoya: I want to grant all of that person’s wishes.
Sungyeol: I’ll make one last promise. That we’ll certainly meet again in the next life.
Dongwoo: I’ll reminisce while looking at old photos. I’ll converse with that person all day; when it becomes nighttime, I’ll take her to the best restaurant and then go watch the city lights.
Woohyun: I want to take the girl I love to meet my parents.
L: There will be a wedding ceremony.
Sunggyu: I’ll take her hand in mine and go watch the waves of the ocean. At the beach I will face the world and shout with all my might, that I love her.
