Mark your calendars: Infinite and U-Kiss will return in June!
K-Pop Blog > News> Infinite / U-Kiss
At the end of 2022 we made predictions for 2023 and shared them with you. Among other things, we hoped that, like last year, groups of the second K-pop generation would return. After all, in 2022 both SNSD and Kara celebrated their 15th anniversary with a new album! It was SNSD's first album in five years and Kara's first in eight years.
And in fact, two other groups that haven't performed together in a long time recently announced a comeback: Infinite & U-Kiss!
Both groups are from the second K-pop generation. The second generation includes all groups that debuted from 2003 to 2012. U-Kiss debuted in 2008 and Infinite in 2010.
You can find all the details about their planned activities here:
It's been over five years since Infinite has been on stage together. Back then, In January 2018, they promoted their third studio album "Top Seed" including the title track "Tell Me". The song won five music show trophies!
In 2019, another digital single called "Clock" was released by five of the six members. Leader Sunggyu was in the military at the time. Since then, all six members have left Woollim Entertainment and sought new agencies. As of August 2022, all of them have also completed their military service.
On May 6, a video titled "It's INFINITE's TIME now" appeared on Youtube under a new Youtube channel of Infinite.
It seems like the boy group has new projects planned for their 13th anniversary! In fact, Sunggyu started a new label called "INFINITE Company" at the beginning of the year and is rumored to have been given the rights to the name "Infinite" and more by Woollim Entertainment.
In the info from the new Youtube channel, the names of all six members are listed, so we can assume that they are all involved in the new project.
We hope that the boy group is preparing a new album and we can't wait to see them reunited!
In our predictions, we speculated on a U-Kiss comeback in 2023, as the boy group celebrates its 15th anniversary this year, just like SNSD and Kara did last year. Those hopes were recently confirmed when U-Kiss shared a poster on Twitter.
On it, Soohyun, Hoon, and Kiseop can be seen, along with three empty microphone stands. The poster announces two digital solo singles, a mini album, and a concert in Japan! The solo singles will be released by Hoon and Soohyun, and the mini album will involve six members!
Who the other three members are has not been confirmed yet. Since there are six former members, there is a lot to choose from. Currently, U-Kiss officially consists of only four members: Soohyun, Hoon, Kiseop and Jun. Of course, it is natural to assume that Jun is also involved in the album.
The boy group last released the Japanese album "Glory" in December 2018. The last Korean music was a digital single titled "Ready for U" released in December 2017. Since then, Soohyun, Jun, Kevin and Hoon have released some singles as Units.
