About K-pop Boy Group INFINITE
Though Woollim Entertainment first managed indie-rock band Nell and popular hip-hop group Epik High, INFINITE is its first idol group. The name "INFINITE" was originally suggested by MC the Max member J.Yoon and was eventually chosen as the official name among other options like "Big Dipper," "Super Sonic," and "Blackberry."
On June 9, 2010, INFINITE made its debut as a seven-piece group with their first mini-album "First Invasion." The septet also debuted in Japan on Nov. 19, 2011 with the Japanese version of "BTD."

INFINITE continued to release more albums and also embark on world tours from 2012 to 2016. Unfortunately, the boy group lost one member in August 2017 as Hoya decided not to renew his contract with Woollim Entertainment and take on a different path to pursue his dreams.
The remaining six members then continued as a group, dropping their third studio album "Top Seed" in January 2018. "Top Seed" became their last release as a full group as each member enlisted in the military and left Woollim Entertainment one after another between 2019 and 2022.
