M COUNTDOWN is taking over Taiwan this month, and in anticipation of the global K-Pop event, we′re spotlighting the artists who are set to take the stage at this year′s show as well as the memorable moments that shaped the K-Pop world these last few months.

It all started on White Day, when Sung Jong melted our hearts away by playing with an adorable kitten in the first teaser video for when Infinite fell in love.



If all of the teaser videos stirred our hearts with spring just around the corner, it was the music video for Man In Love that completely tugged on our heartstrings and made us fall in love with the group and the new song.

Infinite followed its comeback with the people that made it possible – the fans – holding a press conference and a Google+ Hangout event that was streamed live on the same day.

The response was great as Man in Love began climbing up the charts, including Japan’s Oricon, quickly leading Infinite to pick up its first trophy on Mnet’s M COUNTDOWN and kicking off a series of wins on other programs as well.

Despite all of the album promotions, the Infinite members kept busy participating in solo activities as well.

Mr. Sparkly Eyes L appeared in K.Will’s popcorn and cherry blossom-filled music video for Love Blossom and prepared to release his own photo book, while Leader-nim Sung Kyu participated in the new tvN program, The Genius.

Infinite also became the new models for ice cream brand, Natuur, adding more color and energy into our lives. And to make sure their Japanese fans get a piece of them as well, the Infinite members announced the upcoming release of its first studio album in Japan.

In between their busy schedules, the Infinite members kept everyone entertained with several pranks on April Fools′ Day, even making comedian Kim Ki Yul want to cry.

Although the members may be full of tricks and jokes, Infinite is all business when on the stage, so make sure to catch the flower boy group at M COUNTDOWN: Niaho-Taiwan on April 24!
