[SINGAPORE] INFINITE Comes Back Again After 10 Years to Where it All Began

After a decade-long wait, K-pop group, INFINITE, made a spectacular return for their ‘15th Anniversary Concert in Singapore‘ delivering an unforgettable performance that kept their Singapore fans, INSPIRITS, on their feet for an incredible 3.5 hours—likely the longest concert by any K-pop group in the city. 

The group took over The Star Theatre, performing to a sold-out crowd of over 5,000 lucky and devoted fans who managed to snatch tickets, proving that INFINITE’s star power is as strong as ever. With a setlist full of hits, flawless choreography, and raw emotion, INFINITE reaffirmed their place as an ageless phenomenon in K-pop. 

Endless Allure: From Group Performances to Captivating Solos

INFINITE’s performances have always been a stunning mix of powerful vocals and flawless, razor-sharp choreography. Opening with timeless hits like ‘Last Romeo’, ‘Paradise’, and ‘The Eye’, the group did not fail to captivate audiences, evoking a deep sense of nostalgia that reminds fans of their incredible stage presence and unique style. The group’s signature ‘knife-like’ moves is a defining feature that was witnessed during the dance breaks, where members get to showcase their impressive stamina and skill, proving that even after 15 years, they can still command the stage with intensity and power. Watching their performance live was a testimonial of why and how INFINITE earned their place as one of K-pop’s greatest performers of their generation.

From powerful, hard-hitting choreography to emotional ballads, INFINITE’s group performances showcased their impressive range of skills as a cohesive unit. But when it came to their solo stages, the dynamic shifted completely. Each member had the chance to step into the spotlight alone, allowing them to fully express their individual artistry and push boundaries in ways that set them apart from the group. The solos offered a fresh perspective, with members taking risks, experimenting with different genres, and tapping into personal emotions that resonated deeply with fans. Each member took this opportunity to step outside their usual roles and challenge themselves, pushing their limits both vocally and creatively. This transition from group performances to solo showcases proved just how diverse and multi-dimensional INFINITE truly is.

From Singapore to Singlish: INFINITE’s Unique Connection

INFINITE has always regarded Singapore with a deep sense of fondness and gratitude and this was made abundantly clear during their concert. This small little red dot has held a truly special place in their hearts, not just because of its warm and loyal fanbase, but also because it was their very first overseas stop when they debuted. This milestone was something they re-emphasized on stage throughout their concert, reminiscing about the early days of their career and how much they’ve grown since then. The members spoke with genuine affection, making sure to highlight how their connection with the country has grown stronger over the years and how grateful they are to be able to perform in Singapore again despite being in their 15th year of their career.

What made the members even more adorable was their playful and heartfelt attempts to speak in Singlish, further endearing themselves to the audience. L (Myungsoo) took the opportunity to call everyone ‘yandao’ (handsome boys) and ‘chiobu’ (pretty girls), and Sungyeol couldn’t resist following him for his ment, showcasing the members’ lighthearted and fun-loving side. During the concert, Woohyun also tried his best to master ‘Shiok’, though his early attempts humorously resulted in him saying ‘Si-ok’ instead. INSPIRITS couldn’t help but laugh and cheer him on as he tried to perfect his pronunciation.

Their efforts to communicate in English also stood out, as the members did their best to interact with fans in a language they could all understand. INFINITE’s efforts to bridge the gap between languages only strengthened the bond they have with Singapore, reaffirming the city as a place where their journey began and where they’ll always feel at home.

Timeless Moments of Celebration and Happiness

The fanservice during INFINITE’s concert was nothing short of extraordinary, with the group going above and beyond to fulfil as many INSPIRIT’s requests as possible. Whether it was taking selfies, signing albums/banners, or popping up next to fans unexpectedly, it felt like an exhilarating game of ‘spot the member‘—if you didn’t stay alert, you might just miss the chance for that once-in-a-lifetime moment. This immersive fan experience was probably only made possible after the leader, Sunggyu,  established INFINITE Company in 2023, taking the reins to ensure the group could continue their activities as a unified whole under the name, INFINITE. Under his leadership as CEO, it was clear that this was no longer just a group but a family with the power to create the most engaging, personal connection with their fans simply because – my company, my rules.

This relaxed, playful vibe was perfectly encapsulated during the ending ment, where Woohyun and Sungyeol blatantly danced to the choreography for their upcoming comeback while Dongwoo was talking about it. It wasn’t a mere tease or hint—it was a full-on, “here you go” moment. The other members were clearly unfazed by the spoilers and only Myungsoo attempted to reel in the duo, but even then, it felt like part of the fun.

INFINITE has always given their all to their fans, and Singapore INSPIRITs made sure to return that love tenfold during Woohyun’s birthday celebration. As soon as the birthday cake was brought out, every member of INFINITE immediately jumped in, eager to tease Woohyun and steal the spotlight. They were all determined to make his birthday anything but ordinary by stealing his thunder. But Woohyun, never one to back down, said, “Excuse me, it’s my birthday, my time!” asserting his right to his solo time. If that wasn’t enough, Woohyun confidently also declared he was 21 years old—an amusing claim that would make him the forever maknae of the group, dethroning Seongjong. His members called him a liar while the entire theatre burst into laughter as the members continued to tease him.

To Infinity and Beyond ️

INFINITE’s 15th anniversary celebration in Singapore was a beautiful reminder of the unbreakable bond between the group and INSPIRITS. From electrifying performances to unforgettable moments of fun, laughter, and heartfelt fanservice, it was clear that their connection remains as strong as ever. This anniversary wasn’t just a celebration of the past, but also an exciting look into the future. We eagerly look forward to the day they return to Singapore with new music. Here’s to many more years of unforgettable memories and the everlasting love between INFINITE and INSPIRITS— to infinity and beyond! ️
