[INTERVIEW] 110407 - HARU*HANA Magazine


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. (^^)
