After nearly a decade, INFINITE made their spectacular return to Singapore with their INFINITE 15th ANNIVERSARY CONCERT : LIMITED EDITION IN SINGAPORE. Held on 7 February 2025, at The Star Theatre, the highly anticipated show was a complete sellout, drawing over 5,000 fans in attendance.
Kicking off the night with a live band to ‘Last Romeo’, ‘Paradise’ and ‘The Eye’, the veteran second generation K-Pop group greeted the Inspirits present, even attempting their self introductions in English, while playfully incorporating Singlish phrases like “yandao”, “chiobu” and “damn hot man!”
Taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, INFINITE shared how Singapore holds a special place in their hearts, as it was the very first country they performed in outside of Korea after their debut back in 2010 (Korean Pop Night Concert 2010). It felt good to be back in Singapore for their “LIMITED EDITION” concert tour, and the members had prepared solo and special stages for their fans.
Besides newer releases such as ‘New Emotions’ (2023), INFINITE also performed their classics like ‘Back’ (2014), ‘Destiny’ (2015), the fan favourite ‘The Chaser’ (2012) and ‘Pray’ (2018) – a track that is only performed during their “LIMITED EDITION” concert series.
Inspirits were treated to the members’ solo stages: Seongjong’s ‘Monster Time’, L’s ‘Shot’, Sungyeol’s ‘What’s Not To Love’, Sunggyu’s ‘Calm & Passion’ (Rock Version), Woohyun’s ‘Kontrol’ and Dongwoo’s ‘True Love’. Sungyeol surprised fans by making his entrance from the side entrance, to perform upclose amongst the audience for his solo.
Besides the fast-paced dance numbers, INFINITE also showcased their range and emotional depth with ballads ‘SAD LOOP’ and ‘Still I Miss You’.
After a heartfelt VCR with the members talking about and commemorating their 15-year journey, the group returned to the stage with ‘Air’ and ‘Be Mine’.
The loud cheers and singing along to ‘Be Mine’ prompted the members to ask, “Is this the power of Singspirits?”
Inspirits were in for another round of surprise as the INFINITE members left the stage and made their way to the floor seats, delivering ‘Man In Love’, ‘She’s Back’ and ‘Nothing’s Over’ in the midst of their fans. It was fan service galore as they paused to snap selfies, give out autographs, dance along and interact with their fans upclose, all while serenading them.
With Woohyun’s birthday falling on the next day of the Singapore concert, the members and Inspirits came together to celebrate, presenting him with a beautifully decorated birthday cake on stage.
The crowd turned on their phones’ flashlights and waved along for ‘Find Me’, the last song before the encore segment. It was a mass singalong session at The Star Theatre, where INFINITE’s greatest hits released over the years played karaoke-style with lyrics displayed on screen.
Of course, what better way to bring INFINITE back on stage for encore than with ‘Come Back Again’? INFINITE’s fan service came in non-stop waves, as they went down to the floor seats once again to join the crowd – Inspirits are truly blessed indeed!
Before wrapping up the 3.5-hour-long concert, the members expressed their heartfelt gratitude, thanking Inspirits for their unwavering support even after a decade since their last show here. They asked everyone to look forward to their upcoming 8th Mini Album [LIKE INFINITE], which will be released next month.
Sungjong shared that he was very honoured to be able to stand before his Singapore fans in his teenage years, twenties, and now thirties. Meanwhile, L cheekily revealed that chilli crab actually greeted him the moment that he arrived in Singapore, and that they were going to indulge in chilli crab after the concert too.
The INFINITE’s members impressed Singapore fans with their grasp of Singlish, going beyond the usual “lah” and “shiok”, with expressions like “hosehbo”, “mai siao siao” and “paiseh”, much to the delight of the crowd. “Thanks to you, we can practise Singlish!”
With such an unforgettable night, Singspirits will definitely be counting down to the yandao members’ next return to Singapore.
