Attention is focused on whether the group INFINITE (Kim Sung-kyu, Jang Dong-woo, Nam Woo-hyun, Lee Sung-yeol, L, Lee Sung-jong) will re-sign with their agency Woollim Entertainment.

According to reports, INFINITE will soon begin discussions for re-signing with Woollim Entertainment.

Debuting in June 2010 with their first mini-album 'First Invasion', INFINITE

previously re-signed with Woollim Entertainment in August 2017.

At that time, their exclusive contract was set to expire in June of that year, but the final re-signing was concluded two months later, in August of that year.

Accordingly, INFINITE must decide on their future before their exclusive contract expiration date.

In particular, the decision regarding member L (real name Kim Myung-soo), who has grown into a leading actor, is expected to be the key point in this re-signing.

This is because L has been receiving numerous love calls from various entertainment companies.

The other members have also developed their capabilities through individual activities, and there are indications that they are seeking new paths for group activities, according to industry insiders.

However, the agency remains silent regarding the specific timing and details of the re-signing.

It is considered confidential information.

Therefore, INFINITE's future is expected to be finalized and its outline will emerge this summer.

Meanwhile, former INFINITE member Hoya (real name Lee Ho-won)

did not re-sign with Woollim Entertainment in August 2017 and left the team.

He has since been active as an actor and is currently serving in the military after enlisting as an active-duty soldier in February.
