FYI, this video got BLOCKED worldwide and it took 4 different versions of this video and 3 hours to get it posted 😔. Sorry for the copyright filters. 🤷🏾♂️
The Chaser is the best no.1 kpop song of billboard 2012 and top 3 of last decade. highly recommend reacting to Bad, Back, The Eye. A bit unfortunately the reaction is speed forward... but thank you for the reaction.
Fun fact: infinite were one of the first idols to release their dance practice video officially (most dance practice videos back then are leaked) and the main reason was because people accused them of editing their performances ??😭😭 they were so in sync that people couldn’t believe it😭 especially their scorpion dance cause they all get up together slowly from the ground and people were sure that this is an edit, they used to show them this dance whenever they appear in any tv shows to prove that they’re actually capable of doing it
Infinite deserve a video with all dance practices. If I remember correctly they started the knife-like synchronisation tendency that now is a must for everyone.
yeeeeess i extremely recommended last romeo dance practice! one of the members (woohyun) hurt his shoulder from running into a football post so he was dancing with one hand in his pocket but the synchronisation is still crazy
L (Kim Myungsoo) is the guy who is taking the tumble in the car in "The Chaser". In the past he was most often the main character in Infinite's story-based MVs because he is one of the top Idol actors who has been in numerous K-dramas and movies. Fun fact: If you watch the behind the scenes footage of filming of "The Chaser" MV, you will see that L actually spent most of the MV shoot being thrown around in that car. It's thought that the storyline of "The Chaser" is connected to Infinite's "Back" and "The Eye" MV storylines, etc. Infinite is known for being one of the first groups to focus on making their choreography hyper synchronized and they have been coined with the phrase "knife-like synchronization." Infinite -- along with SHINee -- is one of the groups that is credited with changing the focus of dancing within the Kpop industry. If it wasn't for SHINee and Infinite, upping the game and showing everyone that it was possible to have sharp synchronized dance moves while singing live and being able to pull it off flawlessly, the industry would probably be a lot different today. SHINee's "Lucifer," which came out in 2010, was the first dance practice video, and Infinite debuted in 2010, so they were at the forefront of when everything became about showcasing their dancing. That is one of the reasons why they focus on their choreography -- just wait until you see them perform live. It's also why Hoya, who is Infinite's main dancer, lead rapper and lead vocalist is showing off his amazing dance moves in "The Chaser" performance video, etc. Hoya was/is considered one of the best dancers in Kpop and he is a really passionate about dancing. Fun fact: The MV for "Destiny" was shot at Universal Studios on a movie set soundstage in Hollywood, California. The buildings were all part of a town built by set designers to film TV shows and movies, etc. in and around. Infinite specifically went to California to shoot the MV. (If you want to see more, check out the behind the scenes of shooting the MV.) In "BTD (Before The Dawn)" the dance move where they kick their body back and get up from the ground with one leg, that's called the Scorpion (i.e. because it looks like a scorpion rearing up to attack) and Infinite is considered the first ones to introduce the move in the world of Kpop. It's one of the things they are recognized for being pioneers of. You really need to check out a live performance, as well as the dance practice for BTD to see the full choreography. (It's too bad that even in the performance MV version, you don't get a good look at the Scorpion move. It was such a sensation that they performed this dance live all over the place and people went crazy when they saw them do the Scorpion. It's soooo iconic.) You know how all of SHINee songs are super iconic to the point that the minute anyone hears them they know it's a SHINee song? Well, that's pretty much the same thing that Infinite is recognized for. All of their songs and MVs are super iconic and as soon as anyone who is familiar with Infinite hears the first few notes, they instantly recognize it as an Infinite song and their songs are synonymous with the MV that accompanies them.
Tom Cruise invited them twice for his movie premiere Mission Impossible & Jack Reacher (2015 & 2016). Tom Cruise got 2 limited signed albums from INFINITE, and INFINITE got a chance to talk him personally and took some selfie moments with Tom Cruise. I hope you'll check the song that they'd performed BAD-INFINITE ✨💛 Thank you very much.
Thank you for reaching to them! ❤ Yeah, they along with Teen Top were very popular because they became the trendsetters of the synchronization in k-pop. In fact, because of that, Inspirits (INFINITE fandom) started using the "knife- like dance" term. They were very popular because of their dancing and that's why their dance versions have more views. They are still very famous and respect in Korea and were very important for Kpop, thanks to them Billboard created a column about Kpop and for them (Billboard) The Chaser is the 3rd Greatest Kpop song of 2010s. About the Version B of Destiny it's because when they were about to release the MV they had to edit the original one because of an aiplane disaster that happened at that time, and yeah it was shot at universal studios in the US, they were the 1st kpop group to be allowed to film there. They actually also edited Last Romeo MV, they were about to release the MV and the Sewol Ferry tragedy occurred so they delayed the comeback and re-filmed the whole MV.
Fun Fact: There is a version A and version B because its linked to tragedy and natural disaster in real life. Infinite was known as Prophet dol because their MV predicted tragedies in life for example destiny with plane crush, last Romeo the original had ship wreck so they scraped it because of the sewol ferry incident and After the release of The eye had hurricane. They also did a skit about cult and clubbing which also became true.
“Something about this feels 80s” Well, that’s Sweetune for you! To me, they’re the best producing team in Kpop. It’s worth it to discover more songs produced by them.
Infinite is such a legendary group! They made a lot of K-pop standards that are normal nowadays. They were really funny that they were in many variety shows. I especially liked a member L (the one in the spinning car) who was called the most handsome male idol back in the day like Cha Eunwoo right now. Great childhood memories ❤
L(kim myung soo) the one you said looked like taeyong , is known to be the visual of 2 gen. He released also solo music and is very good actor, for example "angel's last mission: love" is very pleasant to watch
I'm not sure how much of The Chaser is actually EDM, but a lot of it actually uses traditional Korean instruments. Those are mixed with rock elements and then layered with very Infinite-esque vocals. It's such an interesting soundscape. MY favorite moment is probably at the climax of the song into the last chorus, where Sunggyu's brighter, piercing vocals transition into a key change with Woohyun's deeper, rounder vocals. Goosebumps.
The guy with the eyes is L or his full name is Kim Myung-soo infinites Visual and vocalist. He is known for his fantastic looks and is one of the all time great visual of that generation he is also a great singer and a good actor. Infinites vocals are top tear and of course even the rappers can sing and both are really good . My favourite of them all is Woohyun he also tends to do the higher notes but there all great . Also Taeyong looks like L but not really Taeyong my favourite now but L well he’s just fantastic
Love love love it!!! Thank you so much for this reaction. Yes they have a lot of songs with rock elements. And yes😁 dramatic is a good word to describe their music as well as emotional. Infinite is all about vocals and kinda distinctive and memorable choreography that always has interesting elements that you can see better in dance practices than in the MV's as well as in live stages. BTD is famous for the scorpion dance which is not very visible in the MV unfortunately. And a lot of their songs are also very rich with synth sounds that remind a lot of 80s. They use a lot of orchestral sounds as well and their concerts are always with live music. About the dance version of the MV's - in the original versions, espesially in earlier years you can't really see the dance actually, so it's better shown in the dance versions. You spotted Dongwoo and Sungjong (the maknae) well, and the other rapper that you liked is Hoya. There are a couple of MV's with brighter concepts like She's back, Nothing's Over, Lately (their Christmas song), Cover Girl (Live version), In the summer (on Music Core), Man in Love - i can also suggest the live stage for As good as it gets,Entrust and Cover Girl together from their Dilemma Japan tour, there are many great stages from that tour, you can see the choreography well. Also stages for their song Inception and Come to you. Other MV's are Request (the colaboration with Samsung), Together, Dilemma, DNA, 24 hours, Can't get over you (japanese MVs), Paradise, Bad, Back, Up to you (Live version), That Summer, Tell me. Other good songs for the live stages are Wings, Fixed star, Hysterie, Voice of my heart, I don't know, Shot, 1/3, Tic Toc, Julia, Amazing, I like you, With, Only Tears and Because (Sunggyu's solo stages stage). Timeless and Close my eyes (Woohyun's solo stages). Follow Me, Rocinante, Shower, A person like me, Diamond, Still i miss you, Between me and you, Love Letter, Walk to remember, Just another lonely night, One day, Thank you, Love of my life, For you, Air, No more, Begin Again, Time Difference. All the great live stages you can find from their concerts such as Dilemma Japan Tour, One great step, Second invasion, Infinite Effect Advance, That Summer 2 and so on. They also have sub unit Infinite H with the two rappers which has a couple of MV's - Special Girl, Without you, Pretty and Crazy and also the live stage for Alone. And another unit Toheart with Woohyun and Shinee's Key with the track and MV Delicious. If you will decide to do a guide, i can suggest the one from 2021 for the members and also from 2023 with two parts (if you want some information about the group, their albums, concerts, reality, but it has a lot of spoilers for the songs), so it's better to start with 2021's and the helpful guide and the unhelpful guide, infinite moments i think about a lot, infinite funny moments,stuff like that. Sorry for the long text, i just got excited😂 I really hope that you will get into their reality shows tho, they are so funny🥹
INFINITE's music and MVs are so timeless. When new people check them out, I always know they'll be blown away by them. Thanks for the reaction! My personal favorite song from them is Paradise, but tbh I'm also very biased as their stage outfits for that song is pleasing to the eye.
Destiny was filmed at Universal studios and I believe at the time it was one of the most if not the most expensive MV at around 900k USD to film and produce from what I can recall.
New Emotions was their comeback after a break while members completed their military service, so while no group releases for a few years there were some solos from members. Other Korean MV's to check out that you haven't yet: She's Back (2010) Nothing's Over (2011) Paradise (2011) Lately (2011) (xmas song) Man In Love (2012) Back (2014) Bad (2015) That Summer (2016) Tell Me (2018) (first comeback as 6 after Hoya left) Clock (2019) (5 members since Sungkyu had already enlisted, after this the group went on break while the rest enlisted in stages, and as members returned they left Woollim. L was the last to discharge and it took a little bit of time but they got the rights from Woollim and formed their own label then came back with New Emotions). Flower (2024) (latest Korean single)
Yes "She's Back," "Nothing's Over," and "Man in Love" would be such a tonal departure from the Infinite he's listened to so far to show more of their talents.
Their sound is so distinct to me, the like crazy bordering on experimental instrumentals and harmonic arrangements. And the DRAMA. 14:00 That IS Dongwoo. He is so fine, I love him Nobody understands Destiny like I do!! A banger!! And BTD "scorpion dance" was SUCH a hit at the time omg
His name is Hoya when still in Infinite, now he goes by the name Lee Howon. Btw have you watch Hit The Stage (dance competition between idol dancer) ? If not then I highly recommend it. Aside from Hoya, there are some of the other idols you familiar with: Hyoyeon, Taemin, Yugyeom, Ten, Shownu, Chungha, Momo,... Also he was on Street Man Fighter too, in MBitious crew.
I'm so happy that you reacted to Infinite! I've been dying to see someone react to them. If you have free time, can you react to Bad, Tell Me, Back and Clock as well?
INFINITE impact was so huge by that time that Woolim, a small and new agency just got like under SM Ent. for a time. From this, also a sub-unit was debuted composed by WOOHYUN (Infinite) and KEY from SHINee, called TOHEART.
Now we need man in love, bad, back, tell me, clock, nothings over, request paradise, and lately. Then of course the sub units and solos plus their Japanese ones!!!! I love infinite so much and I’m so glad to see people discovering them still
Glad you liked the songs! :) You mentioned wanting to see their evolution and their song "Bad" is a good place to start! It was really popular in 2015. Someone mentioned Teen Top in the comments, and I think you'd find their music interesting lol. They're also known for their dancing (especially with their song "Rocking"). They debuted the same year as Infinite. Thanks for the reaction!
I would say the chasers dance video is my fav out of the two because you get to see the full dance and their synchronization more. It’s just satisfying
Infinite music is just so unique❤️🔥❤️🔥 their sound is like a mix between classical music and rock, it’s sooo good🤯 they definitely were so different compared to groups in their gen that’s why they stand out a lot. be mine is like a national anthem in korea. next i would recommend: Paradise (my fav😭), Back, Man in love, bad, dna, dilemma Also, their performances❤️🔥 cause they were known for their live vocals especially their high notes and ofc their dancing
thank you So Much For Reaction One Of the Best KPOP Group Ever!! LEGENDARY KNIFE SYNCRONIZE DANCE WITH AMAZING VOCALS & UNREAL VISUAL.. INFINITE THINGS
Infinite foi o grupo que me introduziu no kpop 10 anos atrás, fico feliz que ainda hoje existem pessoas apreciando as músicas que me fizeram conhecer e amar um gênero inteiro.
yes!! they were pretty well known for their choreo and being rly in sync! and I think the btd dance vid had a lot of views because the “scorpion” move in the bridge (after hoya’s rap, before the key change) was pretty viral back then! idk if they started the trend in kpop (do correct me if I’m wrong) but they popped off in the kpop world for that particular move
Love INFINITE so much!!!! BTD is one of my favorite songs from them the dance is insane as you saw and the actual M/V has some pretty cool fight scenes. I also highly shuggest checking out Back & Bad which are some of my other faves!!
Infinite has a Killing Voice and Sungkyu also has his own solo Killing Voice. He has an extensive solo discography which is uncommon for kpop artists who are originally in a group.
Be Mine has to be one of my favorite sons ever like idk why but it has something that just makes me love it so much, also the fast hand reaching move in the chorus is so iconic!!
YES some more infinite, loved your reaction !! Be Mine and the Chaser are such iconic songs I would recommend watching Bad next, this song is soo good And they were on killing voice last year when they cameback with New Emotions, you should check it out ;)
The person you mentioned in the Destiny music video is L! He is known for his looks especially in Korea. there was even a term “탑엘샨” referring to the three most handsome idols (TOP of Bigbang, L of Infinite and Im Siwan of ZE:A) in early 2010s😂😂
Thankssss! I would like to recommend - Back - Paradise - Dilemma (japanese album) - Just another lonely night without u (u can find a live concertclip for this)
I'm so happy for this reaction. As I mentioned in your first reaction to them "The Chaser" is my nr.1 favorite dance, ever ❤ So I'm glad you said you liked what you saw. The dancing in the mv's was what caught my eyes first about kpop and drew me in to the kpop world. So Infinite was the perfect group for me 😉 Also really like their vocals too of course. Recommend "Nothing's over", "Man in love" and "Flower 🥰
INFINITE is a group with amazing vocals, it's a complete group; It would be amazing if you could also react to the dance practices, the choreography is incredible and exquisite to watch. Greetings from Mexico, I'm very excited that you're reacting to one of my favorite bands.
Facts about INFINITE Songs what r you reaction... 1. Be Mine is KPOP National Anthem in South Korea, Almost KPOP fans Know this Song and many KPOP Survival Show Used this song for their Show. This SONG Release in 2011 But Still Exist Until Day. 2. The Chaser is ONE OF THE BEST SONG , Non only in KPOP. This Song pick by Billboard Music Best KPOP Song 2012 , They Beat PHEnomenal singer Just Like PSY GangNam Style, SUper junior , BigBang and many more Great Group Out there. This Song TOP 3 For Best KPOP in Last Decade (2009-2019). 3. Destiny , INFINITE is First KPOP group with Shooting their Music Video in Universal Studio California ( Their Song DESTINY ). 4.BTD (BEFORE THE DAWN) , Is another Masterpiece from the with The Legendary DAnce (Scorpion Dance) and one of the Hard Song for Cover this Generation Because the Combination AMAZING Vocals with AMazing DAnce.. Please Continues to another Songs... I Suer YOur never Regret Reaction About This Group!!
i'm so so so so happy you've reacted to infinite twice now it makes me so happy to see people falling in love with them after loving them myself for so long!! also it makes sense you kept saying myungsoo reminds you of taeyong because he is like THE second gen visual who still goes viral like all the time for being too good looking. and the member you thought was dongwoo is dongwoo and the other rapper you like is hoya who left the group but has a really great solo career to look into along with other infinite members! thanks for reacting !!!
Yes Infinite had 2-3 versions of their most popular songs almost every release 😆 An MV/Dance & dance practice! Also you mentioned you really like Hoya. Aka Lee Howon who left in 2017. At the time he was Main Dancer, rapper but also has really sweet falsettos. (I’m thinking of his part in The Eye. If you watch the dance practice he’s tearin it up)
Woohyun's last chorus in The Chaser kinda changed the trajectory of my life, it's that serious to me Apart from the title tracks, I really recommend their Killing Voice 😄
For me, Infinite is the group that I will use when to define kpop as a genre. Their songs are what can be considered the classic kpop sound. BTD is THE song that I will always listening again and again every year. Like some random time of the year, I will listen to BTD again for unknown reason. It just pop up in my head and I will add to my weekly playlist for certain period of time. 2nd and 3rd gen is a period of time that I wish I could relive again and again because its uniqueness.
Yes they were known for their choreography and were called kings of sync!! Plus even to this date new trainee idols are shown infinite MVs and dance videos to teach them how to be on top while dancing!!!
back in the day it became common practice in late 2nd gen and 3rd gen to have dance version of the songs. being that their title tracks and some b tracks ALWAYS had choreo to them and that they would perform on stage, it only made since to give the fans a dance/performance version of the music video b/c the fans loved the dances. now music videos are just simply dance heavy and you get the dance practice videos. We use to get it ALL! Music Video, dance version, dance practice, more than 4 live stages, live vocals and thanks to 3rd gen rappers that could RAP!
BTD was one of my fav songs from Infinite. It’s their older song but no matter how many other songs came after that, BTD still stays as the Top 3. After BTD, I remember the Scorpion dance was a big thing back then and every idol would try to do that move.
FYI, this video got BLOCKED worldwide and it took 4 different versions of this video and 3 hours to get it posted 😔. Sorry for the copyright filters. 🤷🏾♂️
Thank you for your dedication ✨
Thank you for the efforts 💛✨
YOU MUST WATCH LAST ROMEO DANCE PRACTICE THEY ARE INCREDIBLE
We understand!! And Thank you for the reaction and effort to edit the video !! :) 😀
I hope you'll try reacting to INFINITE Dingo Killing Voice 🤞🏻✨💛
The Chaser is the best no.1 kpop song of billboard 2012 and top 3 of last decade. highly recommend reacting to Bad, Back, The Eye.
A bit unfortunately the reaction is speed forward... but thank you for the reaction.
he already checked out "The Eye" on his other INFINITE reaction ^^
Fun fact: infinite were one of the first idols to release their dance practice video officially (most dance practice videos back then are leaked) and the main reason was because people accused them of editing their performances ??😭😭 they were so in sync that people couldn’t believe it😭 especially their scorpion dance cause they all get up together slowly from the ground and people were sure that this is an edit, they used to show them this dance whenever they appear in any tv shows to prove that they’re actually capable of doing it
Infinite deserve a video with all dance practices. If I remember correctly they started the knife-like synchronisation tendency that now is a must for everyone.
The ayre the King of Synchronization
yeeeeess i extremely recommended last romeo dance practice! one of the members (woohyun) hurt his shoulder from running into a football post so he was dancing with one hand in his pocket but the synchronisation is still crazy
An injury that is, sadly, beyond revovery. His shoulder has been--still is-- shattered.
Yes!

Thank you for reaching to them! ❤
Yeah, they along with Teen Top were very popular because they became the trendsetters of the synchronization in k-pop. In fact, because of that, Inspirits (INFINITE fandom) started using the "knife- like dance" term. They were very popular because of their dancing and that's why their dance versions have more views.

About the Version B of Destiny it's because when they were about to release the MV they had to edit the original one because of an aiplane disaster that happened at that time, and yeah it was shot at universal studios in the US, they were the 1st kpop group to be allowed to film there.
They actually also edited Last Romeo MV, they were about to release the MV and the Sewol Ferry tragedy occurred so they delayed the comeback and re-filmed the whole MV.
TEEN TOP MENTIONED YASSSSSS!
INFINITE Killing Voice well recommended 💯✨ you will discover different songs genre (snippet). Thank you.
Also discovered hilarious moments by Jang Dongwoo 😂😂😂
Omg yess
That guy with an eye expression is Kim Myungsoo/L. He is also an actor so maybe that's why he pulled off those expressions.
INFINITE’s Scorpion Choreography in BTD (Before The Dawn) always a chef’s kiss for me
Omg INFINITE were the first boy group that made me want to be their fan
yes, they were known for their choreo being awesome!
Most of their songs are composed by ‘Sweetune’ who also wrote lots of popular songs for Kara. I love their unique style
Fun Fact: There is a version A and version B because its linked to tragedy and natural disaster in real life. Infinite was known as Prophet dol because their MV predicted tragedies in life for example destiny with plane crush, last Romeo the original had ship wreck so they scraped it because of the sewol ferry incident and After the release of The eye had hurricane. They also did a skit about cult and clubbing which also became true.
“Something about this feels 80s”
Well, that’s Sweetune for you! To me, they’re the best producing team in Kpop. It’s worth it to discover more songs produced by them.
the one you said looks like taeyong, his name is L/myungsoo. he is one of the top visuals in 2nd gen
BE MINE IS JUST SO ICONIC!! ❤
Infinite is such a legendary group! They made a lot of K-pop standards that are normal nowadays. They were really funny that they were in many variety shows. I especially liked a member L (the one in the spinning car) who was called the most handsome male idol back in the day like Cha Eunwoo right now. Great childhood memories ❤
Be Mine and The Chaser are two of my all time fav songs from second gen groups like Infinite are so iconic
Next please:😊
Dilemma, Bad, Clock, Back, Tell me
Thank you
You definitely need to listen to Back & bad for a middle ground
They filmed destiny at universal studios la
L(kim myung soo) the one you said looked like taeyong , is known to be the visual of 2 gen. He released also solo music and is very good actor, for example "angel's last mission: love" is very pleasant to watch
i recommended BAD it's really nice song
It has been my ringtone since 2016 😂
I'm not sure how much of The Chaser is actually EDM, but a lot of it actually uses traditional Korean instruments. Those are mixed with rock elements and then layered with very Infinite-esque vocals. It's such an interesting soundscape.
MY favorite moment is probably at the climax of the song into the last chorus, where Sunggyu's brighter, piercing vocals transition into a key change with Woohyun's deeper, rounder vocals. Goosebumps.
The guy with the eyes is L or his full name is Kim Myung-soo infinites Visual and vocalist. He is known for his fantastic looks and is one of the all time great visual of that generation he is also a great singer and a good actor. Infinites vocals are top tear and of course even the rappers can sing and both are really good . My favourite of them all is Woohyun he also tends to do the higher notes but there all great . Also Taeyong looks like L but not really Taeyong my favourite now but L well he’s just fantastic
Love love love it!!! Thank you so much for this reaction. Yes they have a lot of songs with rock elements. And yes😁 dramatic is a good word to describe their music as well as emotional. Infinite is all about vocals and kinda distinctive and memorable choreography that always has interesting elements that you can see better in dance practices than in the MV's as well as in live stages. BTD is famous for the scorpion dance which is not very visible in the MV unfortunately. And a lot of their songs are also very rich with synth sounds that remind a lot of 80s.

About the dance version of the MV's - in the original versions, espesially in earlier years you can't really see the dance actually, so it's better shown in the dance versions.
You spotted Dongwoo and Sungjong (the maknae) well, and the other rapper that you liked is Hoya. There are a couple of MV's with brighter concepts like She's back, Nothing's Over, Lately (their Christmas song), Cover Girl (Live version), In the summer (on Music Core), Man in Love - i can also suggest the live stage for As good as it gets,Entrust and Cover Girl together from their Dilemma Japan tour, there are many great stages from that tour, you can see the choreography well. Also stages for their song Inception and Come to you. Other MV's are Request (the colaboration with Samsung), Together, Dilemma, DNA, 24 hours, Can't get over you (japanese MVs), Paradise, Bad, Back, Up to you (Live version), That Summer, Tell me.
Other good songs for the live stages are Wings, Fixed star, Hysterie, Voice of my heart, I don't know, Shot, 1/3, Tic Toc, Julia, Amazing, I like you, With, Only Tears and Because (Sunggyu's solo stages stage). Timeless and Close my eyes (Woohyun's solo stages). Follow Me, Rocinante, Shower, A person like me, Diamond, Still i miss you, Between me and you, Love Letter, Walk to remember, Just another lonely night, One day, Thank you, Love of my life, For you, Air, No more, Begin Again, Time Difference.
All the great live stages you can find from their concerts such as Dilemma Japan Tour, One great step, Second invasion, Infinite Effect Advance, That Summer 2 and so on.
They also have sub unit Infinite H with the two rappers which has a couple of MV's - Special Girl, Without you, Pretty and Crazy and also the live stage for Alone.
And another unit Toheart with Woohyun and Shinee's Key with the track and MV Delicious.
If you will decide to do a guide, i can suggest the one from 2021 for the members and also from 2023 with two parts (if you want some information about the group, their albums, concerts, reality, but it has a lot of spoilers for the songs), so it's better to start with 2021's and the helpful guide and the unhelpful guide, infinite moments i think about a lot, infinite funny moments,stuff like that.
Sorry for the long text, i just got excited😂
I really hope that you will get into their reality shows tho, they are so funny🥹
INFINITE's music and MVs are so timeless. When new people check them out, I always know they'll be blown away by them. Thanks for the reaction! My personal favorite song from them is Paradise, but tbh I'm also very biased as their stage outfits for that song is pleasing to the eye.
INFINITE IS KNOWN FOR THEIR SYNCOPATED MOVEMENTS AND SINGING ALL THEIR VOCALS LIVE IN CONCERTS.
Destiny was filmed at Universal studios and I believe at the time it was one of the most if not the most expensive MV at around 900k USD to film and produce from what I can recall.
Thank you for reacting to Infinite!💛
I would recommend: Paradise, Man In Love, Back, Bad & Tell Me 💫
New Emotions was their comeback after a break while members completed their military service, so while no group releases for a few years there were some solos from members. Other Korean MV's to check out that you haven't yet:
She's Back (2010)
Nothing's Over (2011)
Paradise (2011)
Lately (2011) (xmas song)
Man In Love (2012)
Back (2014)
Bad (2015)
That Summer (2016)
Tell Me (2018) (first comeback as 6 after Hoya left)
Clock (2019) (5 members since Sungkyu had already enlisted, after this the group went on break while the rest enlisted in stages, and as members returned they left Woollim. L was the last to discharge and it took a little bit of time but they got the rights from Woollim and formed their own label then came back with New Emotions).
Flower (2024) (latest Korean single)
Yes "She's Back," "Nothing's Over," and "Man in Love" would be such a tonal departure from the Infinite he's listened to so far to show more of their talents.
I miss them so much.
The guy you mentioned @16:15 is L literally still one of the best visuals ever!
Their sound is so distinct to me, the like crazy bordering on experimental instrumentals and harmonic arrangements. And the DRAMA.
14:00 That IS Dongwoo. He is so fine, I love him
Nobody understands Destiny like I do!! A banger!!
And BTD "scorpion dance" was SUCH a hit at the time omg
The chaser is definitely that song
My god are you one of the luckiest ppl of our days ! You just found a gem 💎
rj you should react to SISTAR, they're known as queens of summer. they're 2nd gen and are from starship (same company as monsta x, ive, cravity..)
They really serve a drama, wait till you watch "Back"
That MV, music, and song is a bizarre combination that somehow sounds "great".
Omg, thank you for checking out Infinite again!!! I haven't seen the mv for the Chaser in 10 years, wow. Omg. Dang, now I feel old hahaha.
❤❤❤
His name is Hoya when still in Infinite, now he goes by the name Lee Howon.
Btw have you watch Hit The Stage (dance competition between idol dancer) ? If not then I highly recommend it. Aside from Hoya, there are some of the other idols you familiar with: Hyoyeon, Taemin, Yugyeom, Ten, Shownu, Chungha, Momo,...
Also he was on Street Man Fighter too, in MBitious crew.
Thank you so much for reacting to Infinite. I hope you continue to do reactions to them. I highly recommend watching their live performances ❤
I'm so happy that you reacted to Infinite! I've been dying to see someone react to them. If you have free time, can you react to Bad, Tell Me, Back and Clock as well?
INFINITE impact was so huge by that time that Woolim, a small and new agency just got like under SM Ent. for a time. From this, also a sub-unit was debuted composed by WOOHYUN (Infinite) and KEY from SHINee, called TOHEART.
the dance version of the chaser has the lyrics. BEST SONG EVER!
Now we need man in love, bad, back, tell me, clock, nothings over, request paradise, and lately. Then of course the sub units and solos plus their Japanese ones!!!! I love infinite so much and I’m so glad to see people discovering them still
Glad you liked the songs! :) You mentioned wanting to see their evolution and their song "Bad" is a good place to start! It was really popular in 2015. Someone mentioned Teen Top in the comments, and I think you'd find their music interesting lol. They're also known for their dancing (especially with their song "Rocking"). They debuted the same year as Infinite. Thanks for the reaction!
I would say the chasers dance video is my fav out of the two because you get to see the full dance and their synchronization more. It’s just satisfying
Infinite music is just so unique❤️🔥❤️🔥 their sound is like a mix between classical music and rock, it’s sooo good🤯 they definitely were so different compared to groups in their gen that’s why they stand out a lot. be mine is like a national anthem in korea.
next i would recommend: Paradise (my fav😭), Back, Man in love, bad, dna, dilemma
Also, their performances❤️🔥 cause they were known for their live vocals especially their high notes and ofc their dancing
Thank you 🙏🏻
thank you So Much For Reaction One Of the Best KPOP Group Ever!!
LEGENDARY KNIFE SYNCRONIZE DANCE WITH AMAZING VOCALS & UNREAL VISUAL..
INFINITE THINGS
Infinite foi o grupo que me introduziu no kpop 10 anos atrás, fico feliz que ainda hoje existem pessoas apreciando as músicas que me fizeram conhecer e amar um gênero inteiro.
yes!! they were pretty well known for their choreo and being rly in sync! and I think the btd dance vid had a lot of views because the “scorpion” move in the bridge (after hoya’s rap, before the key change) was pretty viral back then! idk if they started the trend in kpop (do correct me if I’m wrong) but they popped off in the kpop world for that particular move
funny enough, I don't think the dance version actually showed that scorpion dance the well,
Love INFINITE so much!!!! BTD is one of my favorite songs from them the dance is insane as you saw and the actual M/V has some pretty cool fight scenes. I also highly shuggest checking out Back & Bad which are some of my other faves!!
hope you do next : back - paradise - man in love - bad
their Japanese Songs are also so good : dna - dilemma
thank you so much for checking out Infinite it's really bringing back memories! Can't wait for you to check out more of their stuff
Infinite has a Killing Voice and Sungkyu also has his own solo Killing Voice. He has an extensive solo discography which is uncommon for kpop artists who are originally in a group.
Be Mine has to be one of my favorite sons ever like idk why but it has something that just makes me love it so much, also the fast hand reaching move in the chorus is so iconic!!
YES some more infinite, loved your reaction !! Be Mine and the Chaser are such iconic songs
I would recommend watching Bad next, this song is soo good
And they were on killing voice last year when they cameback with New Emotions, you should check it out ;)
i loved Be Mine and BTD when it was released. Be Mine was all over South Korea then and BTD was so popular with the synchronized scorpion dance move
The person you mentioned in the Destiny music video is L! He is known for his looks especially in Korea. there was even a term “탑엘샨” referring to the three most handsome idols (TOP of Bigbang, L of Infinite and Im Siwan of ZE:A) in early 2010s😂😂
Checkout Nothing's over by INFINITE!! One of my fav songs by far
Chaser is like a top-tier Kpop legendary song
Thankssss!
I would like to recommend
- Back
- Paradise
- Dilemma (japanese album)
- Just another lonely night without u (u can find a live concertclip for this)
I'm so happy for this reaction. As I mentioned in your first reaction to them "The Chaser" is my nr.1 favorite dance, ever ❤ So I'm glad you said you liked what you saw. The dancing in the mv's was what caught my eyes first about kpop and drew me in to the kpop world. So Infinite was the perfect group for me 😉
Also really like their vocals too of course. Recommend "Nothing's over", "Man in love" and "Flower 🥰
Hi!! Thank you for reacting to infinite ^^ I hope you will check out some guide about them, they are lovely 💞
INFINITE is a group with amazing vocals, it's a complete group; It would be amazing if you could also react to the dance practices, the choreography is incredible and exquisite to watch.

Woohyun‘s voice is seriously one of my favorites ever

Please Continues to another Songs... I Suer YOur never Regret Reaction About This Group!!
i'm so so so so happy you've reacted to infinite twice now it makes me so happy to see people falling in love with them after loving them myself for so long!! also it makes sense you kept saying myungsoo reminds you of taeyong because he is like THE second gen visual who still goes viral like all the time for being too good looking. and the member you thought was dongwoo is dongwoo and the other rapper you like is hoya who left the group but has a really great solo career to look into along with other infinite members! thanks for reacting !!!
I saw infinite in concert twice and loved it. They had a live band and did fully choreography in the concert while singing. Their mics were on
It's so nice seeing and watching reactions to INFINITE ! You should also check Dongwoo's (the rap guy) solo stuff !
Infinite...💛 Reaksiyon için teşekkürler...
honestly one of the best kpop groups to exist, i miss my infinite days!
You got me out here singing my heart out😫😫 my inspirit heart is thriving ❤❤
Yes Infinite had 2-3 versions of their most popular songs almost every release 😆
An MV/Dance & dance practice!
Also you mentioned you really like Hoya. Aka Lee Howon who left in 2017. At the time he was Main Dancer, rapper but also has really sweet falsettos. (I’m thinking of his part in The Eye. If you watch the dance practice he’s tearin it up)
Woohyun's last chorus in The Chaser kinda changed the trajectory of my life, it's that serious to me
Apart from the title tracks, I really recommend their Killing Voice 😄
For me, Infinite is the group that I will use when to define kpop as a genre. Their songs are what can be considered the classic kpop sound. BTD is THE song that I will always listening again and again every year. Like some random time of the year, I will listen to BTD again for unknown reason. It just pop up in my head and I will add to my weekly playlist for certain period of time. 2nd and 3rd gen is a period of time that I wish I could relive again and again because its uniqueness.
Yes they were known for their choreography and were called kings of sync!! Plus even to this date new trainee idols are shown infinite MVs and dance videos to teach them how to be on top while dancing!!!
Please watch the group BEAST (now called highlight), I'm sure you'll like them, be sure to watch killing voice with them. They're very cool.
back in the day it became common practice in late 2nd gen and 3rd gen to have dance version of the songs. being that their title tracks and some b tracks ALWAYS had choreo to them and that they would perform on stage, it only made since to give the fans a dance/performance version of the music video b/c the fans loved the dances. now music videos are just simply dance heavy and you get the dance practice videos. We use to get it ALL! Music Video, dance version, dance practice, more than 4 live stages, live vocals and thanks to 3rd gen rappers that could RAP!
Highly recommend checking out their Killing Voice performance for live vocals!!
yess more 2nd gen reaction
Thank you so much for reacting to my very best favorite kpo Infinite forever,they should be in top 3 if we have then internet✌️🇺🇲🇵🇭
Finally some Infinite!!!!! I hope you react to more T-ara
Please react to UKISS and B1A4!!! They have a ton of great music that takes me back, they're worth checking out!
As a fan of kpop since second gen until now, I've mentioned it so many times. And I'll say it again, THERE'S NO GROUP LIKE INFINITE. PERIOD.
Thank you so much for reacting to INFINITE, thanks sooo much for finding them - INSPIRITS’ Gem ❤
OMG YESS (other songs that you should react: paradise, bad and man in love)
I am BEGGING you please react to INFINITE Killing Voice from dingo music's channel! They sing some B-Sides there and their vocals really shine!
Hi RJ, for another Infinite reaction i recommended you for react BAD & Paradise MV. Thank you so much for your reaction ❤
They will always be my favorite band ❤❤
THE CHASER IS TOOOO GOOD
BTD was one of my fav songs from Infinite. It’s their older song but no matter how many other songs came after that, BTD still stays as the Top 3. After BTD, I remember the Scorpion dance was a big thing back then and every idol would try to do that move.
you should check these MV: Paradise, Back, Tell Me, Bad
you dunno how happy i am to hear sungjong's voice being so appreciated ~~ underrated
PARADISE, BACK, MAN IN LOVE, BAD, TELL ME PLSSSSSSSS
Loving the reactions to 2nd gen groups!! Another group you should react to is teen top
