The group INFINITE (composed of Kim Sung Kyu, Jang Dong Woo, Nam Woo Hyun, Lee Sung Yeol, L, and Lee Sung Jong) celebrated its 15th debut anniversary with fans from all around the world.

On June 9 at 8 PM (local time), to mark the occasion, the members of INFINITE hosted a special live broadcast on their official YouTube channel — with all six members present.

In a room decorated with festive gold balloons, INFINITE sang a special anniversary song, cut a celebratory cake, made a wish together, blew out the candles, and shared a touching moment while receiving heartfelt congratulations from their fans.

The group reflected on their “LIMITED EDITION” anniversary tour, which kicked off in Seoul last December and included stops in Taipei, Macau, Jakarta, Singapore, Yokohama, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong, wrapping up with an encore concert in Incheon. About the tour, they admitted: “We were worried we might not sell out all the seats.” But in the end, every show was sold out — a clear sign of their continued popularity.

Kim Sung Kyu added:

“Even if only one person came to see us, whether the seats were full or not wouldn’t have mattered. But seeing every seat filled made us even happier.”

He expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the fans who supported them throughout the tour.

The group also talked about their anniversary album, “LIKE INFINITE.” Lee Sung Jong shared:

“It was so much fun. When we were filming the music video for the title track Dangerous, there’s a scene where the set opens up during the dance — and even I thought it looked amazing. I really felt that when we’re together, our synergy shines.” He proudly reaffirmed their status as “K-pop legends.”

INFINITE is also set to release a live concert film of the “LIMITED EDITION” tour on June 11 in CGV theaters across South Korea. During early screenings and fan events, the members said:

“It was so great to see everyone again after such a long time,”

and surprised fans by revealing that a special “sing-along” screening — where fans can sing along during the movie — is in the works, sparking much excitement.

They also took time to share their favorite tracks from the past 15 years and compared them with the fans’ top picks. The live broadcast was filled with fun stories, including light-hearted envy over each other’s “prime” eras and heartwarming fan-submitted stories about their “INFINITE love at first sight” moments.

For nearly two hours, INFINITE displayed its lively and playful teamwork — living up to its reputation as variety show idols — by chatting freely and making fans laugh.

They wrapped up the broadcast with a message from the heart:

“If it weren’t for INSPIRIT (our official fanclub), there would be no INFINITE. It’s amazing we’ve made it this far, and we’re so proud of that. We’ll keep working hard so we can meet you even more. Thank you so much — we love you!”

Although he wasn’t with them, former INFINITE member HOYA also celebrated his 15-year debut anniversary. Fans remembered him by posting a photo that singer and actor LEE HOWON (his real name) shared and reposted — a sweet gesture from INSPIRITs.
