Infinite to Launch Grand-Scale Showcase in Korea, Japan and Taiwan

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

Infinite will be launching a three day showcase in Korea, Japan and Taiwan, announcing the release of its second full length album Season 2.

On May 13, Infinite announced through its official website that it will be holding grand-scale showcases in Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

The showcase held in Japan on May 19, Taiwan on 20 and Korea on 21, signifies Infinite’s official promotional activities to expand overseas, after its world tour One Great Step took place last year.

The showcase’s title ‘1.2.3’ signifies ‘only 1 time opportunity,’ ‘2nd full length album Season 2’ and ‘showcase held in 3 countries over 3 days.’

Woollim Entertainment, Infinite’s agency, stated, “It has been 10 months since Infinite’s promotions with Destiny and three years since the release of its first full length album. We wanted to thank the fans who have been waiting until now in any way we can. As we think it is important for artists to interact closely with the fans, we prepared the showcase that will allow Infinite to meet with the fans in Asia.”

The agency rep added, “Infinite’s ‘1.2.3 Showcase’ in Korea will take place on May 21 in Jamsil Gymnasium, inviting over 5,000 people.”

I hope it goes well! Sounds ambitious? Maybe- I don't himself know how popular they are in Korea and abroad.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

they were super popular like a year ago (with both my middle school students and just general advertising on the street and whatnot). then they kinda disappeared for their tour and exo has completely taken over everything. i never ever hear any of my girls mention them anymore. they only have eyes for exo.

[koushiba.livejournal.com]

Lollll. Yeah. I can see that happening. Maybe this'll put them in spotlight again?...

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

i dont mind. it's embarrassing having the same tastes as my middle school students hahahaha

[koushiba.livejournal.com]

Lol that is true-

[broadway-bound3.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know like two students who like Infinite and everyone else loves EXO. I can say that the two students who like Infinite hate EXO which I think is hilarious.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

lmao, lbr, everyone has dropped their favorite groups for EXO.

I think people are taking the World Cup thing too seriously, regular programming will still happen. Music shows still went on during the WC in 2010, and hell, Infinite debuted 2 days before they started and did their promotions all through it. The difference now is that they're a top-tier group as opposed to nugus.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

They could be considered a top-tier group now? like at Big Bang, DBSK and SNSD's level? I mean, their sales are pretty good but I'm not sure they're still that popular with the general public and they still haven't had a super "hit" song. I think not even EXO could be considered top tier yet despite being freaking everywhere so idk.

[ironicmustache.livejournal.com]

i'm so ready for this. i wish the showcase was on a weekend tho ㅠㅠ

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Alright alright alright!

I figured they would have to do something big after they did the multiple showcases all over Korea in one day

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

BBS BETTER WERQ~

they've done this before but in a smaller scale. 5 showcases all over Korea in a day~

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

Taiwan is surprising to me. O: Out of all the SEA countries to go to I would've pegged Thailand instead since they've done fan meetings there and their Thai fans are probably the most dedicated outside Korea and Japan.

Fansites were so upset this morning because of the amount of travel they have to book now with such short notice lmao.

[lovejae23.livejournal.com]

from what i remember infinite is one of the more popular kpop groups in taiwan though, so maybe they want to work to keep that fanbase? plus no china stop so maybe they're lumping chinese fans into one stop

YASS

[seroquels.livejournal.com]

Go big or go home. Did their variety show do well? I stopped watching after the first few eps. Cuz they weren't posted here and I'm too lazy to go searching for them.

I hope things turn out well, that's a hectic schedule.
