Cover of INFINITE’s L photo essay book ‘L’s BRAVO VIEWTIFUL’ unveiled

INFINITE‘s L is giving fans a sneak peak before releasing his photo essay book ‘L’s BRAVO VIEWTIFUL‘ next month.

The photo essay book features photos taken by L during a 93-day journey. He didn’t focus on his life as an idol star, but rather the feelings and lifestyle of a man in his twenties.

Woollim Entertainment stated, “L loves photography so much that the first thing he bought with his first paycheck as an INFINITE member was a camera. Recently, he has been getting close with professional photographers and is consistently studying photography. Although we’re not sure if the photos themselves may be lacking, we hope that you look fondly at the sincerity and honest stories contained in the photos.”

Only 30,000 copies will be available, so make sure to grab yourself a copy when it’s released in May!

Sunggyu becomes the icon of betrayal on ‘The Genius: Rules of the Game’

Lee Kwang Soo might have to hand over his ’Running Man‘ status of being the ‘icon of betrayal’ over to INFINITE‘s Sunggyu!

The first episode of tvN‘s new variety show ’The Genius: Rules of the Game‘ will air on April 26, and Sunggyu threw the entire cast into chaos with his betrayal. At first, he looked like he was confused and couldn’t even understand the game, causing the other cast members to lower their defenses around him.

When the other cast members tried to get him to work together, he even said, “What if you betray me?“, and made absolutely no one wary of him. However, as we saw in the teaser, near the middle of the game, Sunggyu’s image completely flipped, as he won every game and shot up to 1st place, shocking everyone.

The PD of the show said, “He’s a character that shows twists upon twists. In the waiting room, he’s a diligent maknae to his sunbaes, but during the filming, he changes completely. He’s a great cast member who understood the program concept completely.”

INFINITE become first artist in 12 years to win #1 on the three major broadcasting stations

INFINITE has been sweeping music shows with their latest single “Man In Love” and they’re now recognized as the first artist in 12 years to win #1 on three major broadcasting stations (SBS, MBC, KBS) with the same song.

INFINITE recently achieved #1 on MBC‘s ‘Music Core‘s first broadcast with its new ranking system. INFINITE also achieved #1 on KBS 2TV‘s ‘Music Bank‘ on the 4th and 12th as well as on SBS‘ ‘Inkigayo‘ on March 31st and April 7th.
The previous artist and song that was able to achieve such a grand slam was back in 2001 when Fin.K.L‘s “You Wouldn’t Know” achieved #1 on ‘Inkigayo’, ‘Music Bank’, and ‘Music Camp‘ before it became ‘Music Core’.

The reason it took so long for artists to hit a ‘grand slam’ on all three broadcasting stations involved the different timing of the music shows’ ranking systems. ‘Music Bank’ previously discarded their ranking system back in August 2001 and revived its ranking system in September 2007. ‘Music Core’ also removed its ranking system in January 2006 and just recently returned with a new ranking system on April 20, 2013.

A music insider commented, “It is true that the music show ranking systems which have made their return are a good barometer that showcases star power. The industry is flooded with various teams and because the standards for each show’s ranking system are different, it would be difficult for an artist(s) to achieve a grand slam in the future.”

Congrats, INFINITE!
