Sungjong doesn't like Woohyun's greesiness (?) Woohyun keeps doing aegyo which is the job of a Maknae.
Sungjong wants to be friend with Sunggyu. He wants to know how it would be to be Sunggyu's friend" Don't make friends with my friends again!" OMO Hoya said this to Woohyun XD
Hoya is really good at variety shows now. He gives good comments and responds. He knows exactly how to reply someone! :D

Dongwoo can sleep easily when he lie on his back even on the uncomfortable floor
On the weekly idol, Sungjong ranked other members who he looked as the easiest hyung.#1 Namu #2 Dongwoo #3 L #4 Sungyeol #5 Hoya #6 Sunggyu
unggyu talked about what he had gain from the show. He gained distrust, trick, conspiracy, outcasted. poor leader

[LIST] [NEWS] Heechul ranks #1 “Prettiest Male idol”
Super Junior‘s Kim Heechul was selected as the “prettiest” male idol by netizens.
Recently, the results of an online poll asking voters to choose which male idol they thought was prettier than the average female were revealed.
Although Kim Heechul was up against a lot of other attractive, “flower boy” contenders, he was still able to come out on top.
Heechul was up against other beautiful celebrities, such as Shin Hyesung, JYJ‘s Kim Jaejoong, Kim Hyun Joong, Yoo Ho Suk, Lee Hongki, L, Jang Geun Suk, and SHINee‘s Taemin.
Netizens who saw the results of the poll commented, “There are so many male celebrities who are prettier than girls,” “Do girls have to be jealous of boys now?” and “Of course Kim Heechul, he gets prettier every time I see him.”
[Video] Infinite’s Sung Kyu vs. Yoo Ah In: Who Suffers from Celebrity Disease More?
Celebrity Disease: when a person acts like he or she is an important person or a celebrity, oftentimes lacking in humility.
Anyone is vulnerable in getting this disease, especially celebrities since it’s easy to get bigheaded after receiving so much love from fans.
Anyone is vulnerable in getting this disease, especially celebrities since it’s easy to get bigheaded after receiving so much love from fans.
So Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News wondered who suffers from this petty disease and decided to put Infinite’s Sung Kyu and actor Yoo Ah In against each other in the battle of the worst case of Celebrity Disease.
First off, Sung Kyu, the leader and lead vocal of Infinite, always appears perfect on stage.
He also remembers to give lots of fan services, posting cute pictures of himself online, making fans squeal in delight seeing his adorable expressions - basically, he knows people are always looking at him.
A fellow Infinite member shared an incident when Sung Kyu and Sung Jong went out to go buy something at the supermarket.
But a moment later, Sung Gyu dashed back into the house to get a hat. When Dong Woo asked why, Sung Kyu replied, “Because I’m a celebrity.”
If that’s not a symptom of celebrity disease, we don’t know what that is.

Moving onto Yoo Ah In.
He’s always telling the media that he tries not to get conceited, but let’s see if that is true.
While he enjoys having nice brunches at fancy restaurants, Yoo Ah In actually loves eating Korean food and ramen more.
As the Fashion King, Yoo Ah In is very careful about the clothes he wears, keeping a close eye on what his stylist even chooses for him.
Lastly, he says he’s afraid of being called arrogant because of his smug expressions, but at the same time, he’s not afraid of voicing out his opinions on social matters.
So who did Wide think was suffering from Celebrity Disease even more?
Infinite’s Sung Kyu.
Remember that it’s good to be confident, but a little humility and modesty is always needed!

[Exclusive] At the Scene of an ‘Infinite Rank King’ Shoot
Infinite held a little Olympic Games of its own to determine who the team’s best athlete was.
Infinite’s Olympic Games were held in Seongnam at an indoor gymnasium for Infinite Rank King on Mnet’s Wide Entertainment News. The episode aired on June 20, and received explosive reactions from viewers on the web and social networks.
Enews dropped by for a visit on the day of the shoot to see just how fierce the competition was.
The variety skills of a #1 idol
Infinite recently swept through main channel music show charts and even won the Triple Crown at Mnet’s M Countdown, and on the day of the shoot it proved it was indeed a top idol with its entertaining variety skills.
While many idol groups in reality shows rely on inside jokes only understood by their fans or stay passive throughout the show, the Infinite members showed they were different by being more outgoing.
Reality programs only give its cast simple explanations about the show’s topic, which makes it essential for the cast to have an attitude like Infinite along with at least some variety skills.
The members got through the situations in their own ways, surprising even the producers. Comedians Yoo Min Sang and Kim Ki Yul, who were present as the anchor and commentator, also helped them along.
Sung Kyu, Sung Jong, L, Sung Yeol, Dong Woo, Woo Hyun and Hoya entered in the opposite order of the ranks given them by fans, and they all made an entrance.
The members who appeared earlier only tried to make the staff clap along with them, but the later members put on better stunts every time and even tried to use props to stand out.
Fight to the death (?)
The reality show wasn’t all about the laughs, though. Infinite has been known for its skill with sports since it won the gold medal in the male relay match for MBC’s Idol Track and Field Championship. All of the members showed they weren’t going to let the others win so easily.
Leader Sung Kyu, who was last place in the fan rankings for the day, especially shined brighter with his competitive side. The skills of sportsman L and the burning spark Hoya all made the show seem not like a simple variety show, but an actual sport event.
The members fought in such competitions as ‘bean moving’, ‘staring contest’, ‘straw sucking’, ‘block stacking’, ‘free throw’ and ‘math run’.
Reality off-camera
The Olympics episode of Infinite Rank King started shooting near lunchtime and continued into the evening. The members were all lively as soon as they set foot in the gym, stretching or dribbling the basketball, and continued to stay lively even after the staff had all become exhausted from the long shoot.
Even when the cameras were off, the members stayed in character. Sung Kyu didn’t move around much, Dong Woo and Sung Yeol were fairly active and Woo Hyun tried to talk with everyone due to his hosting instinct.
They also continued to communicate with the producer, scriptwriters and camera directors to make the program even better. Because they had been together for four episodes, everyone was enthusiastic about thinking up new ideas and listened to what the other had to say. This attitude showed why Infinite was on the top in music, drama and variety.

[TRANS/INTERVIEW] 120618 10Asia :: “We put on the TV and we talk back to each other” (Part 3)
120618 10Asia :: “We put on the TV and we talk back to each other” (Part 3)
Dongwoo “At <1000 Songs Challenge> Woohyun sang and I focused on supporting him”
We heard that today you recorded SBS <1000 Songs Challenge>.
Dongwoo: Woohyun-sshi sang and I focused on supporting him. (Laughs)
Woohyun: I think I sang around 100 songs and Dongwoo-sshi is a friend with good reactions so we recorded well. His cheers were like the cheers of 100 warriors.
Hoya: If you just have a tambourine in one hand, you don’t have anything to be scared of.
Dongwoo: Instead the people in the audience were looking at me weirdly. Because I was working even harder than them. (Laughter)
Hoya: Maybe they felt a sense of crisis when they saw hyung. (T/N: Because he was giving better reactions than the audience)
You’re always smiling but it looks like you’re always sincerely happy.
Dongwoo: Woah, it’s really fun. Even today during <1000 Songs Challenge>, there were talks from time to time, Jang Yoonjung sunbaenim is quite funny. He talked so well that I laughed a lot.
Hoya: Oh, are you dissing the other sunbaenims saying that they aren’t funny! Lee Hwijae sunbaenim was there too!
Dongwoo: No, personal preference, personal preference!
Sunggyu: You have to write it in big letters. ‘Jang Dongwoo, Jang Yoonjung sunbaenim over Lee Hwijae sunbaenim!’ ‘As expected, singer over gagman!’
Dongwoo: What is this, are you making up article titles now? (Laughs) You can’t do that.
It seems that Dongwoo always suffers these kinds of things. (Laughs)
Hoya: Even when I was practicing on my acting, Dongwoo hyung got tricked.
Dongwoo: This friend’s acting improved so much it surprised me. He suddenly told me his lines from his drama but I got tricked and asked him what happened. (Laughs)
Sunggyu: It’s because Dongwoo’s reactions are good, Sungyeol’s are nice too, I also always practiced with Dongwoo when I was doing the musical. He replied to all of my lines. Even for the laughter points, if Dongwoo laughs, they laughed at the same moment as him on stage, he’s a really precious member when we’re preparing. So maybe among us, the member who acts the best is Dongwoo. Because at point the leading increases. He gets immersed in it too! (Laughs)
Hoya: He can just read it though (Laughs)
If so, doesn’t Dongwoo feel like challenging acting too?
Dongwoo: I’m interested in doing things like sketches at radios but I think it would be too hard to do it in front of a camera. Once I did some acting on MBC Everyone <Infinity Girls> (Laughs) Was it ‘What is this?’, I feel like it was pathetic myself…… Even if any director saw it, they wouldn’t want me, so rather than a drama, I want to try a sitcom. If I just get the opportunity!
Hoya: “I also usually record my songs on my recorder and listen to them”
The choreography of ‘The Chaser’ doesn’t have a definite point like the scorpion dance, so you must’ve have studied how to keep on maintaining the tension?
Hoya: For this song, there’s no dance break, we had to show the dance in a flow during the whole song. Especially during the chorus, we had to show sexiness, so we studied a lot how to show the line of our legs sexily. We needed enough sexiness for the girl who left to come back. Hahaha.
Sunggyu: We prepared the album when we were all busy with our solo activities but we didn’t have enough time to practice the choreography so we were really worried right up to our comeback.
Hoya: It was a situation where we had to rent a ballet classroom or a yoga center in Japan to practice. Anyway, after making our comeback and, as we kept going on stage, I feel like the performance was completed little by little.
Not only for the dance but the voices you sing with received more reviews saying they were sexy. It looks like you practiced your singing intensively.
Hoya: I also usually record my songs on a recorder to listen to them, I’m constantly practicing my singing. I keep on practicing rapping with Dongwoo hyung, and as for the singing, Sunggyu hyung gives me lessons. Sunggyu hyung is my singing teacher.
Sunggyu: Aw, I don’t teach him anything. He is a friend who sings better than what you would think.
The two of you show a good chemistry (T/N: Literally ‘Show a good breath’ in Korean) on variety shows too. It’s the kind when Sunggyu does a comment and Hoya returns it to him.
Hoya: Ah, that’s lung piercing (Laughs) I’m the kind to practice a lot in my daily life. I also usually put on the TV while eating with Sunggyu hyung and we talk back to each other.
Sunggyu: Hoya has the style of a striker.
Hoya: The entertainment world’s striker, the gag world’s striker.
Sunggyu: You’re Messi, Messi
Hoya: Uh… Infinite’s shoot-dol
The reaction to the punch line you’ve been pushing the most “I say Ho! You say Ya!” seems to be a bit little?
Hoya: I’ve been pushing it for 2 years but there’s still not many results.
Sunggyu: Far from pushing it, it seems that he’s been pulling it.
Hoya: The fans said they liked it but I don’t really know about other people. I hope it can become a punch line soon on Ranking King.
Woohyun “I receive advices from SHINee’s Key for my airport fashion”
Woohyun is the style to throw in comment until it makes people laugh in variety shows?
Sunggyu: He is also a friend who works really hard. As a member in the same group as him, I’m proud and I think that he’s cool. Hoya works hard too but during a broadcast, Woohyunnie will try to make around 200 funny points.
Woohyun: The other friends are doing well, so I’m just enjoying it.
Sunggyu: He says this now but Woohyun thinks the most before a broadcast and works hard to get ready.
Woohyun: Aah, I’m this kind of sensitive and thoughtful person. (Laughs)
Sunggyu: Unexpectedly, he’s a considerate friend who does a lot of sacrifices for the team. Ah, because I said ‘unexpectedly’ it’s a bit weird?
He looks like he’s also the kind to prepare thoroughly his fashion too. You’ve been wearing glasses often these days, is it an item your close friend SHINee’s Key recommended to you? (Laughs)
Woohyun: I’ve been wearing glasses because I’m from the elite, (Laughs) I never received any advices from Key. He looks like he would recommend good things but he never did. (Angry) These days I got to know a lot of informations on brands too so I feel like he’s been keeping me in check too!
Sunggyu: Ayy, that’s not it. Woohyun takes pictures of his clothes and receives the confirmation from Key.
Woohyun: I do that a bit for the airport fashion. (Docile) I usually have two styles left at my final choice, I could just wear one when going and the other when coming back but it makes me worry like this. Now I know the basics. When I leave, I wear colorful and fancy clothes that give off a ‘Now I’m going abroad’ feeling, when coming back I wear a relaxed style that shows that I’m tired.
Hoya: Aha, when going, a fancy feeling. When coming back, an ‘off from work’ feeling!
Sunggyu: Because he’s so professional, Sungyeol sees Woohyun as an icon. Woohyun gives fashion advice to Sungyeol too.
Woohyun: But I never gave this kind of advice…… (Laughs) You’re just accusing me.
When you get greedy during funny situations like these, there must be a lot of times where your stories don’t match and you expose other members or exaggerate things too.
Woohyun: That’s why our members are so funny. Because we can’t predict it ourselves either. (Laughs) These days L is really funny too, Sunggyu hyung and Hoya are always funny, it would be nice if Dongwoo was a bit funny. He keeps on having fun by himself so I’m curious about what’s so funny too. He’s always laughing alone.
Dongwoo: It’s funny! (Laughs)
Hoya: You have to share the fun, hyung is only imagining it and is already laughing. You have to go a step further.
As your variety skills got better, it feels like it got stronger music wise too. Especially in the song ‘That Year’s Summer’ from the album, you show a different image from your usual image.
Woohyun: That’s right for the main vocals too but it’s a song where the voices match well to show the big progress of the sub-vocals. That’s why it’s a song that the fans really like. For once, it’s not me but L who’s in charge of the high notes so it broke the register, (Laughs) I think it was nice because it showed a new taste in the group’s voice.
Not for the group but personally, which song was the newest experimentation to you?
Woohyun: I’m the kind to put more strength in my voice but in ‘With” I used less strength and I tried to make it appealing so I personally like it a lot. There are several voices in this song but even so, to not make it boring to the people listening to the album, I kept on trying to do various things. I lost a lot of weight so I think that I look a bit more trim now (Laughs) Starting from this album, I’ll try to challenge again my singing skills.

[TRANS/INTERVIEW] 120618 10Asia :: ‘Sungyeol-Sungjong’s ‘Troublemaker’ is this concert’s flower” (Part 2)
120618 10Asia :: ‘Sungyeol-Sungjong’s ‘Troublemaker’ is this concert’s flower” (Part 2)
Sungjong “When we were practicing, I practiced my expressions over and over while looking in the mirror”
Sungjong showed his acting in Tooniverse <Makirae Show> too. Compared to the quantity, it was the acting with the biggest impact in the team.
Sungyeol: Of course he became the president of elementary schoolers after doing that! He received tons of lemon candies as gifts. (Laughs)
L: His popularity with children is really no joke. Once, we were filming in front of an elementary school and all the kids went, “Oh, it’s Sungjongie there!”. (Laughs) That time we realized Sungjongie’s popularity.
Sungjong: (Sighs) They didn’t even say ‘Sungjongie’. They said “It’s the person who appeared in Makirae Show!” When I heard that I realized that the children watched it more than what I thought. Because I didn’t receive private lessons, it was awkward but since it’s a program that young friends watch, I did my best to be bright.
Woohyun: But Sungjongie is really popular to noonas too. When they just see Sungjongie they go “Woojjujjujju”.(T/N: Sound you make to amuse babies)
But when you sang ‘The Chaser’ this time, you received a lot of reviews saying that your stare got a lot more intense.
Sungjong: Ah, (while bowing) thank you. The hyungs monitored me and gave me a lot of advice, it helped me a lot. When we were practicing, I practiced my expressions over and over while looking in the mirror.
More especially, during the concert, you had a ‘Troublemaker’ performance which became a hot topic. Unexpectedly, Sungjong gave up on the woman’s choreography?
Sungyeol: Ah, suddenly this friend, in the morning, I opened my eyes and was hungry to death and he suddenly asked ‘Hyung, do you want to do Troublemaker?” At first I was confused.
Sungjong: I got the idea first so I went to suggest it to the CEO. But the song wasn’t a problem, the most important thing was that it wasn’t me who was going to have the girl’s role but Sungyeol hyung. (Laughs) How was it?
Sungyeol: Of course I thought that it was this friend who was going to do it so I said “Alright, you’re going to pick Hyunah?” but he said no! Since he directly said he wasn’t going to do it, I refused. But he kept on trying to persuade me, I wanted to do an unprecedented transformation so in the end I agreed. The conditions for me doing it was that he had to kiss me for real. (Laughs) It’s because I wanted to show something even cooler than what we already did. So the both of us did our best to get ready. I even exercised to get ready to rip my clothes.
Sungjong: We wanted to show a reversal.
L: In my opinion, the performance of these two was the flower of the concert. The screams were even louder than for the group performances.
Sungyeol is also the tallest member but is there a special reason why you selected him to be your female partner?
Sungjong: He’s also good looking, and I felt like hyung would do it well. (Laughs) And since he never showed this kind of image, I thought that it would be exceptional. As for me too, until now, I think that I showed more girl group dances than a cool image so I kind of wanted to show a different side of me.
Sungyeol: But because my parents were at the concert that day, I was embarrassed. (Laughs)
Sungjong: That’s why….. I was really sorry to Sungyeolie hyung’s parents.
Sungyeol: Well, they just talked about the concert and didn’t say much about that performance. We’ll keep it to ourselves. (Laughs)
Sungyeol “There were times where I lied but I’m the honest kind”
Sungyeol is the one doing the performance’s opening for ‘The Chaser’. You must’ve been really pressured?
Sungyeol: I was scared because it was the first start. They told me to confidently beat the stage while doing a model walking but matching the rhythm is really hard. So I emphasized on my expression, I think I managed well to put away my usual playfulness in my voice and on my face.
When you first debuted, you gave a really mischievious feeling but these days you got more quiet. You also tried to win seriously on Mnet <Ranking King> Brain Battle, (Laughs)
Sungyeol: Ah, because I got 1st place in the pilot survey at that time, I wanted to keep that ranking so I played the game sincerely. I couldn’t disappoint the fans who picked me so I didn’t thinking about air time and I wanted to appear at the last second when they all fought with each other and tidy up everything but…… it didn’t went as I wanted.
Sunggyu: Because it was the Brain King, I wanted to do my best too. I got greedy, the writer noona told me where there was a good weapon so I just believed what she said and as I moved their I met Woohyun too soon. It’s a pity. I didn’t think of my character and wanted to do well but that image sticking with me, it was to the extent where I thought it was God’s will.
Analyzing other people’s moves while going by himself, Sungyeol’s smart image strengthened too.
Sungyeol: That time, it was just that everything the other did was noticeable. I didn’t especially watch or something like that, I think it just got edited well on broadcast.
Your observation skills are good too but it seems that your personality is the one to tell everything you observed. You said you couldn’t lie at all.
Sungjong: It’s because he has nothing to hide.
Sungyeol: Ah, there were times where I lied too but I’m the honest kind. But because I’m so frank, even in situations where the other side could be hurt, I would just say it all. In the past, I already said something bluntly to Sungjongie about his expression, he was maybe embarrassed about it. Now that I think of it, I’m sorry.
Sungjong: But isn’t it good instead that he talks honestly? In the end, thanks to the advice hyung gave me, I fixed my lacking part so it helped a lot. It’s just…… it’s also out of pride. (Laughs) Just kidding.
Also, truthfully, how did you feel doing the showcase after riding the helicopter? It must’ve been scary..
Sungyeol: It wasn’t scary at all. I even prepared medicine in case I got airsickness but I didn’t need it. It wasn’t only me, the other members too, it was something tiring to experience so we enjoyed it and even better. When we were moving, we even fell asleep comfortably.
Sunggyu: More than that, CEO told us to not be pressured about it. ‘Did I ever tell you anything after seeing you on stage? I’m always trusting you guys. You’re doing well so let’s do it as you’re already doing it. ’ He told us that and we got the showcase and rode the helicopter.
Sungyeol: (Laughs) He prepared the helicopter so we wouldn’t be pressured!
