Infinite’s Hoya Reveals His ‘Man in Love’ Ways at ‘M COUNTDOWN Nihao-Taiwan’

Infinite recently returned with its hit Man in Love, and member Hoya has revealed just what kind of man he becomes when he’s under love’s spell.



The idol group met with members of the media at a press conference held before the highly-anticipated M COUNTDOWN Nihao-Taiwan at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan on April 24, where the night’s performers talked about their visit and expectations for the show.

Woo Hyun said, “We heard a lot of Taiwanese fans came out, so we hope to put on an awesome stage in return.”



When asked if they’ve picked up any new Chinese phrases, the boys took turns charming the reporters with their language skills, saying “How are you feeling?” and “Thank you” to the ever useful “You’re beautiful” and “Have some tea” to the random “Come in.”

Continuing with their charming ways, when asked if the members act a certain way when they’re in love, Hoya responded, “If I’m reading, I see the girl’s name in the words, and when I watch a movie, I see the girl’s face in the leading lady," before adding "Is it the same for you all?”

SHINee, Infinite, SISTAR, T-ara, U-KISS ‘uBEAT,’ Teen Top, Dal Shabet, Girl’s Day, K.Will, Tasty, Baechigi, Ailee and DJ Koo are among the artists set to take the stage at M COUNTDOWN Nihao-Taiwan.

INFINITE determine hyung & dongseng through popularity, not age

INFINITE revealed their own unique way of determining hyung and dongseng within the group.

On the May 1st episode of MBC Every1‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘, INFINITE revealed, “We decided on who is the hyung and dongseng through popularity. But at the moment we’re friends.”

Sunggyu added, “When Hoya was getting really popular with ‘Reply 1997‘, he did a CF by himself for a phone company. We made him the title of hyung immediately and after that he got really arrogant. He thought he was a big star, so we had to get rid of that. Now he’s not a hyung anymore.”

Hoya admitted, “Sunggyu hyung yelled at me because I got arrogant. So we decided everyone should be friends.”

To this, the MCs teased him by saying, “Didn’t your solo album not do well?“. Sunggyu was flustered but explained, “It’s because it was edited like that on broadcast. Don’t edit this out! My solo album was a classic. You can’t say it failed. I sold 70,000-80,000 albums all by myself, and not many solo artists can accomplish that.”

B2ST’s Junhyung’s kiss scene in ‘Monstar’ revealed

‘Monstar‘ unveiled quite possibly the most exciting still cut yet ahead of its premiere by capturing B2ST‘s Junhyung‘s kiss scene!

While most dramas tease with still cuts of your favorite characters about to dive in for a kiss, these still cuts break from the norm by showing Junhyung actually locking lips with a female student in the classroom. As the press release from the drama doesn’t mention whether this female student is the female lead of the drama Ha Yeon Soo, it’s not clear if this is her or another character in the show.

A staff member commented, “This scene is one of the important scenes of the drama’s opening, please watch the premiere to find out why Junhyung’s kiss scene happened. It took six hours to film the romantic kiss scene. Junhyung, who filmed his first kiss scene, was nervous at first but immediately fell into his role and acted the scene out naturally.”

‘Monstar‘ is a 12-episode music drama which will portray the story of teenagers and their journey of love, friendship, and the pursuit of their dreams, and will premiere on May 17th!
