It turns out the unconfirmed report about INFINITE-H’s comeback is true! Hoya and Dongwoo, the rapper duo from Woollim Entertainment’s INFINITE are indeed going to make a comeback soon.
Earlier in December last year, Korean media outlet OSEN exclusively reported that INFINITE H is expected to return to the Korean music scene with a new album in 2015. At that time, a spokesperson from Woollim Entertainment confirmed to Korean media outlet MBN Star that the duo will reveal their comeback plans during the “Brand New Music family concert” on 7th Dec 2014.
While fans were still speculating their comeback date, Woollim Entertainment dropped a surprise by releasing a new teaser image for INFINITE H’s comeback.
