Infinite

As July seems to be the month all kpop bands are making their comeback, I've latched onto a new group: Infinite. As I watched their latest music video of Bad, I recognized two of the members very easily, and when I recognize an actor in a band, I will probably start to love that group. Those two actors were Hoya and Myungsoo (L), but I'll get to them two in a bit.

Kim Myungsoo
(Born March 13, 1992 (age 23)), commonly known by his stage name L, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is also the main vocal of Infinite F (one of Infinite's side groups). He attended Duksoo High School and graduated from Daekyung University on February 15, 2013, along with members Sungkyu, Dongwoo, Hoya, and Sungyeol majoring in practical music. He has a younger brother named Moonsoo. I recognize him from the drama The Time We Were Not in Love, where he played the guest role of Ki Sungjae, a young intern who appears during the first four episodes.

Lee Ho Won
(Born as Lee Ho Dong on March 28, 1991 (age 24)), better known by his stage name Hoya is a South Korean singer, rapper, actor and dancer. He dropped out of high school to pursue his dream as a singer. His father was against the decision thus Hoya had to leave home. He then took the high school qualification exam and passed. Later his father accepted him and now supports Infinite wholeheartedly. Hoya auditioned after he dropped out and ended up in his current agency, Woollin Entertainment. He was a former JYP Entertainment trainee. I recognize him from the drama Mask, where he plays the supporting role of Byun Ji Hyuk, the younger brother of the main protagonist: Byun Ji Sook.
