On April 1st, Infinite will hold an encore concert ‘Second Invasion-Evolution’ in extension to their concerts in February at Seoul’s Olympic Sport Stadium, where they will meet with more than 10,000 fans.
Infinite are striving, practicing from the dawn until very late for the oncoming concert in April. Hoya, the member who turned 22 on March 28th, worthy of his ‘practice-maniac always seeking for a perfect performance’ rumors, delayed his birthday and is absorbed in the rehearsals to show his best image.
Last time, Infinite held 2 concerts at the handball stadium, which were both sold out, so for this encore concert they are drawing attention as they are perfectly matching their ‘Trending-dols’ nickname. This time’s organization is going to be different from the first one; not only is each Infinite member’s solo stage to be changed, but also a song from their new album, which will be released in May, is going to be revealed.
Moreover, for this concert, 5 live performances are going to be live broadcasted all over the world through Youtube. It’s even more anticipated as they’ve planned to reveal their splendid performance’s making film, including various other videos as well.

Among the numerous idol groups that came out after 2000, only few will become groups that have concerts that are sold out, only one year after their debut. Starting from 2011, Infinite got into a wave of popularity, their two concerts on February 11th and 12th 2012 were sold out in only 10 minutes, the ‘Total Sold Out-Dols’ are marking the public with the destructive power of their ticket sales.
Even if it was their first solo concert, they went here and there on stage, without showing the slightest sign of nervousness, with only one concert they turned themselves into ‘Live type Idols’. Infinite, that got us used to a perfectly precise choreography took their performance to a higher level and gave us a colorful image during these two hours and a half, showing steady live skills and a fancy direction. It was a concert where they showed affectionate fanservice that can’t be seen on broadcast, exceptional solo stages, and Infinite’s members’ sincere and bold comments that caught the fan’s hearts.
