Another member of INFINITE! Have you known Infinite well? Infinite is a South Korean boyband under Woollim Entertainment. Woollim Entertainment is a part of ‘S.M. Culture and Contents Co., Ltd.’ , so Infinite is related to S.M. Entertainment. They sometimes make collaboration between their artists by making a duet group. Have you ever heard Toheart? Yeah, it is an example of the duet group between Key from SHINee and Woohyun from Infinite. So, let’s get to know one of them. Woohyun!
Woohyun was born in Chungcheong, Seoul, South Korea, on February 8, 1991. He is the youngest child in his family, and has a brother, two years older, named Nam Boohyun (남부현). Woohyun's height is about 176 cm, and his weight is about 58 kg. His blood type is B. He likes playing tennis, cooking, skiing, and weight training. He also likes playing soccer. He wishes to be an athlete or a chef if he weren’t a singer. His favorite colors are red, pink, and black. He is a claustrophobic.
Woohyun entered Woollim Entertainment as a trainee on May 2009. He sang a song from Stevie Wonder, titled “Lately” to pass Woollim’s audition. He really likes Stevie Wonder and said that Stevie Wonder was his most favorite singer among others. His singing debut was as an Infinite member on June 9, 2010. They performed a song from their first album, titled Come Back Again (다시돌아와). Infinite had their first world tour “One Great Step” after debuted for 3 years, in 2013. They toured many cities, like New York, Los Angeles, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo, etc. From the tour, they also made a music video of Infinite which was taken when the concert was performed lively, titled Tic Toc.
As I said at the beginning, he and Key from SHINee also debuted as a duet group named Toheart. They performed ‘Delicious’ as their debut song on March 10, 2014, while their live debut was on March 12, 2014 in MelOn Premiere Showcase. His debut as a musical actor was made in “Gwanghwamun Sonata” drama musical. Then, his acting debut was in July 2012. At that time, he played a minor role in a drama titled “The Thousandth Man” as himself. In April 2014, he played a role in drama ‘Hi! School-Love On’ as Shin Woohyun.
As a songwriter, he wrote several songs for Infinite. In 2013, he wrote the song ‘Beautiful’ in their album, New Challenge. In 2014, he wrote the song ‘Close My Eyes (눈을 감으면)’ for the other album ‘Season 2’ and ‘Together (함께)’ for the Grow OST.
He and the other Infinite members were joining an 8-episode variety show about Infinite, named ‘This is Infinite’ in 2014. In that variety show, we can see the members in their own personality. Woohyun in person is very talkative. He is also the most confident member in Infinite, the opposite of Infinite’s L. Sometimes, he is kind of embarrassing. Usually, he talked more when Sunggyu is around. Maybe it’s because they shared the same room in their old dorm. In the beginning of the variety show, Woohyun was the one who could guess his own strength and weakness fastest. So, in case of a leader change mission on the show, he set each member with the appropriate skill of a leader. There were seven of them, so there were seven skills too. He chose himself in a cooperation skill. To prove that skill, he asked his friends to cook for the dinner. Cooking is always his theme. In the next episode, Guessing the Other Member Appearance Mission, he cooked an egg roll. Then, his egg roll was mixed with other egg rolls. The only one who could guess his cooking well was the Infinite’s maknae, Sungjong. Sungjong chose the right egg roll, because he said it was the worst tasted egg roll among the others. LOL. He also joined other variety shows such as “Mnet Wide Girl Punch”, “Infinite! You're My Oppa”, “Lucky Strike 300”, “1 vs. 100 Quiz”, “Days of Infinite”, “Star King”, “Infinite's Sesame Player 2”, “Immortal Songs 2”, “Strong Heart”,“Birth of a Family”, “Dream Team”, “Infinite's Ranking King”, “MBC Miss & Mr Idol Korea”, “MBC Idol Crown Prince Chuseok Special”, “Infinite Japan Story”, and “KBS Hello Counselor”.
