INFINITE H reveal their ideal type

INFINITE H’s Dongwoo and Hoya recently participated in a photo shoot and interview for new edition of star magazine ‘@star1’ and talked about their ideal “Special Girl”.

Dongwoo shared, “I think my ideal type changes frequently. Recently, I like girls who look good in any hair style. Someone who look good with different hair styles, and also different styles of outfits. I can adjust to her personality.”

Hoya also said, I like people who are fluent in foreign language. When I find that someone is very fluent in a foreign language, I start feeling that the person is very charming. I always wanted to be fluent in foreign language, but unfortunately, I can’t so I’m attracted to people who can speak a foreign language these days.”

INFINITE H released their first unit album ‘Fly High’ and are currently promoting title track “Special Girl”.

Infinite H, “Prerecordings? It’s nice because they’re stages we make with the fans”

Infinite’s hiphop unit Infinite H (Dongwoo, Hoya) showed an uncommon affection toward the fans.

Infinite H met eNEWS right before their latest live broadcast, when we asked them ‘Which stage do you like the most between live broadcasts and prerecordings?’, they replied “We aren’t especially biased toward any of them and we just do our best in the given situation. But since we’re with the fans during the prerecordings, it has more feelings so it’s obviously better”.

Infinite H’s member Hoya said while laughing, “When it hasn’t been long since you did your comeback, prerecordings have a nice side. Because you can work the stage to make it more perfect. But later on, if you promote the same song for 7~8 weeks, there are also times when live broadcasts are better”.

He then added, “Both obviously have their pros and cons but if I put myself in the fans’ shoes, there are more good points about the prerecording”.

Dongwoo said, showing affection for the fans, “Regardless of the stage, I don’t have any anxiety about it. It’s just that for the stage of the prerecording filled with only our fans, even the cheering is different so I can only get strength from it. And I also find the time where you can share even just a few words with the fans next to the stage nice and precious”.

Infinite H is the 7-membered idol group Infinite’s hiphop unit formed by Dongwoo and Hoya. Primary was in charge of the album’s producing and a lot of talented musicians such as Dynamic Duo, Bumkey, Zion.T, Beenzino, etc participated in it so they received comments saying that they showed an exceptional completion as a standard idol unit.

Infinite H’s first album “A response beyond imagination”

Infinite H formed by the Infinite members, Hoya and Dongwoo, released their first mini-album ‘Fly High’ on January 14th, they’re promoting it with the title song ‘Special Girl’.

This album, totally directed by the famous producer Primary, is evaluated as an album with an equal mass appeal and musicality, it’s also gaining attention as an album not only popular among their fans but also among common music fans and hiphop musicians. They show off an unusual music color they couldn’t show under their ‘original’ name and they’re receiving good responses saying they reached beyond the limits of an idol unit.


The title song ‘Special Girl’ got 1st place on the real-time chart after its release on the 11th and is still in the top 10 showing the signs of a lasting hit. The day of its offline release, the 14th, the album got 1st place on the site of the Hanteo chart counting the total of the CD sales, they said that they worked all night to adjust to the volume due to the demand being higher than they expected it to be.

Infinite H’s representant revealed to Newsen “We were shocked to see that the response was better than what we expected. The preorders already reached 120,000 copies so it was hectic to adjust to the volume” and “We started to produce the second distribution even before the release of the first-press edition but since the days of release are different nationally, it’s being reflected gradually on the album sales charts”.

They added “The oversea shipping volume is reflected a bit later but it seems that if we add the oversea sales as well, we will have an astonishing result” and “They’re planning to carry the momentum from this and do their best during their promotions”.
