Infinite Effect in Manila – The boys are back!

Published in inquirer.net (This is my original draft)

Last November 7, seven Romeos from Kpop group ‘Infinite’ serenaded their fans in their much anticipated concert, 2015 Infinite 2nd World Tour in Manila:  Infinite Effect at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Their fans, more popularly known as ‘Inspirits’, screamed with excitement as they saw the silhouette of members Sungkyu, Dongwoo, Woohyun, Hoya, Sungyeol, L, and Sungjong, as they opened the night with their song ‘Before the dawn’. Hoya was injured though so he was just sitting down, but this did not stop the rest of the boys in giving it their all as they showcase their synchronized dance moves.

The crowd even got more excited as the boys introduced themselves in Tagalog. “Ako ang iyong boyfriend. May forever!” said L, making the audience cheer for him even more.

For their second concert in the country, Infinite sang popular hits such as “Paradise,” “Be Mine,” “The Chaser,” and “Destiny”. They also sang the song “Love Letter” and started throwing love letters written in paper airplanes and cute stuffed toys to the audience.

Leader Sungkyu performed his latest single "Kontrol,” while Woohyun serenaded the audience and did a heart-tugging rendition of his song "Everyday," which made the audience a bit emotional and some even got teary-eyed.

Dongwoo looked quite amusing as he smiled from ear to ear as he received a drawing of himself as a gift from one of the fans.

Infinite’s sub-unit groups Infinite H, and Infinite F also had separate performances during the concert, showing off their singing, rapping, and dancing skills, accompanied by great fan service.

L, Sungjong and Sungyeol made the girls’ hearts race with their performance of ‘Heartbeat’ and ‘My Girl’.

The last song to be performed was “Bad,” their latest single which was released just last July, and with this, the audience really did feel bad because it was time to say goodbye.

Hoya started cheering up the Inspirits by saying, "Wag na kayo umiyak. Babalik kami. Promise. Gusto namin kayo masaya at malusog.” This was followed by Dongwoo stating it was one of their best concerts. Woohyun also tried to make them smile by saying “Merong Forever".

The encore followed with the songs “Come Back Again” and “Together”. The boys thanked their fans and bowed together.

With great vocals, suave dance moves and superb fan service, it was definitely a night to remember for Philippine Inpirits.
