Korean entertainment companies annually issue season's greetings that refer to products sold at the end of the year and during New Year, which includes calendars, diaries, posters, DVDs, and more.
However, Sungjong, who renewed his exclusive contract with Woollim Entertainment along with Woohyun, was excluded from INFINITE's "2022 Season's Greetings."
The company only launched the season's greetings for Woohyun, leaving the fans confused and disappointed.
Even in 2020, Woollim Entertainment only released Sunggyu's "2021 Season's Greetings." As a result, fans are questioning why the agency is not launching Sungjong's version.
On the same day, it was reported that INFINITE Sungjong expressed his emotions through direct messages with fans.
