SUNGJONG S.M.Y.L.E – ‘SUNGJONG, Smile More, You’re Loved Eternally’

You got that smile
That only heaven can make
I pray to God every day
That you keep that smile.

MISSION : To make the Angel Lee Sungjong smile again.

1. Hoya said he wants Sungjong to go back to when he had his beautiful smile. Since Sungjong became an adult, he smiles less and less. Hoya hopes Sungjong can smile again just like the old times so that they can take a photo together while smiling brightly.

∞It’s not only Hoya who had noticed Sungjong’s less frequent smiles. We can all see that our ever-bright maknae has sealed his lips. Maybe now that he is an adult, he thinks he should live up to the expectations of fans and be manlier. But everyone is unique. And Sungjong is unique because of his smile. We Inspirits would have him in no other way.

Can U Smile?

2. Sungjong does well in this industry because he has no fear - Sunggyu

∞ We don’t know what’s bothering Sungjong; we don’t know if he’s upset or scared or disappointed. What we know is—he’ll always be the apple of our eyes. So it’s time to let him know that we’re here for him we’ll always support him.
Whatever it is he’s going through, he is not alone. He doesn’t have to cross his hardships by himself—we’re here to help. It is time we proved it to him.
I Will Never Be Alone With You

3. If you were able to make just one wish come true, what would the wish be?
Sungjong: For Infinite and Inspirits to be together forever!

∞ Each of us is a small grain of sand, a tiny droplet in the world. One person may not have a lot of power. But thousands of grains make up a desert and countless droplets make an ocean. If we all join hands together, we can achieve the impossible. INFINITE prides themselves on their teamwork. Now it’s our turn, we INSPIRITS have to show our teamwork as well. Let’s make Sungjong’s wish come true!

A Paradise Where We Can Be Together Forever

INFINITE-The Chaser Review

I am a hardcore Inspirit. That is why this review is a bit late; I wanted the fan girl effects to wear off before writing this. I’ll keep the intro short so that I can talk more about the song.

Firstly, I don’t know if you have noticed or not, The Chaser seems to be the sequel to Paradise, which could be a sequel to Be Mine. These 3 songs can actually make a story. In Be Mine, Infinite requested the girl they love to accept their hearts, bestowing promises of protection and love. We can assume that the girl finally accepted them (one of them actually; or there were 7 girls). However, after some time, she started having thoughts about leaving the relationship. So Infinite come up with Paradise, where they request her to stay, saying they will do better and apologizing for forcing her into the relationship (‘Locked you up against your will’). They say that it won’t be a Paradise without her and desperately wants her not to leave. Finally, in The Chaser, they tell her that she can leave, but they won’t give up on her. Their promises haven’t change—they still plan to protect and love her even though she crushed their hearts.

They kind of did it before as well, with their first single being Come Back Again and follow-up single being She’s Back. Whether done intentionally or not, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

THE MUSIC VIDEO: This music video does not have a clear-cut plot like Nothing’s Over or Be Mine. This music video is more in the style of BTD and Paradise, which hints at a plot but leaves it up to the viewers to interpret the story in their own way. Although watching music videos which have plots that explain the song is fun, I like music videos where the viewers get to be more than a passive observer. This music video leaves a lot of scope for thinking and each one of you can actually come up with your own story regarding the music video.

For the ease of explanation, I will talk about one man and one girl since it is confusing to think about all 7 members of Infinite chasing one girl. This music video uses a lot of metaphors. The motorcycle chase scene definitely represents the name of the song. Personal shots of Sungyeol and Hoya also hint at the chasing theme. A lot of people are confused about L and the rolling car. I believe that L here actually depicts the man’s heart. The continuous rolling of the car actually portrays that his heart is being rendered into pieces, being tossed and turned by the pain he is feeling due to fact that the girl he loves is leaving him. In one scene, Sunggyu walks away from L’s car, while it lies pathetically in the background. He does not acknowledge the car which goes to show that the man, although his heart is being ripped apart, won’t try to stop her from leaving and will still continue to chase her. He actually says the lines, ‘It doesn’t matter if my heart is torn apart’ during this scene. He would still hold on to the key to his love for her. The box at the end may depict her heart, the one Sungjong gently caresses. Many of you are wondering how Sungjong got the key from Sunggyu. I think that in this music video, all Infinite members represent one person—oneness.

THE DANCE:  I don’t want to even talk about it—Infinite has redefined perfection. It is one of their most difficult dances till date. There are several times when some members stop while others dance and then they bring the stationary members to motion. During Hoya’s rap, the members move as if they are a part of him. Although there were no dance breaks this time, unless you consider the small part in the beginning, this dance awesome to the power infinity. I have a lot of favorite parts but if I’m to mention one, it would be the part where Sungjong and Hoya sing their lines and the other members stand still and move only when Hoya and Sungjong do.

THE SONG: The dragging parts of the song are just too amazing! For me, with every dragging part, I feel my heart expands. Sunggyu’s vocals are explosive. They have a tone which gets stuck in your head. A lot of people are complaining that Sunggyu has a lot of parts but in reality, most of the parts are choruses. Since Sunggyu seems to be leading the chorus, people are mistaking them for his solo parts. The distribution is fairly well with Sungyeol singing more than one line. Hoya showed prowess in both rapping and singing, while Woohyun and Sunggyu’s voices produced a great contrast towards the last chorus.

THE DOWNS: L’s car scenes, although put there for a reason, seem to be too numerous and towards the end of the music video, quite disturbing.  I wonder why Woohyun got very less screen time. I am also not very fond of the room they were dancing in. The design on the walls was quite disturbing. I am pretty sure there were LEDs on Dongwoo and Sungyeol’s helmets so that their faces can be seen. However, Dongwoo breaking the lights, although cool, is a bit unnecessary. (Honestly, I’m a pacifist and do not believe in violence).

THE LOOKS: This is completely based on my opinions so you can disagree as much as you want. Also you are free to express your opinions.

People who look consistently great throughout the music video are Sunggyu, L, Sungyeol and Sungjong. Although, Sungyeol could do without his scar. Woohyun’s new shortly-cropped hair is not doing for me while Dongwoo, although looks great in the dance scenes, doesn’t look very good during his personal shot. Hoya’s hairstyle is perfect in the blue clothes but otherwise, I’m not very fond of his bowl-shaped hair cut.

THE WARDROBE: I prefer the blue set of clothes to the black and white one. If you see very carefully, Sunggyu wears the same top under his coat in both the sets. Sungyeol’s white top can be seen in the first teaser for the new album. L’s white coat with black flower in his button hole is the one from the first teaser as well. But it’s Infinite, and most of them can pull of the poorest set of clothes and make it look gorgeous. All in wall, the wardrobe choice wasn’t bad but could have been better. What do you think?

All in all, Infinite has returned with a comeback song that you wouldn’t want to miss!

K-pop!

Hollywood is the only form of entertainment for the young generation these days(Lets not talk about Bollywood and Dhaliwood). So let’s face it-we are too lazy to try out something new because we’ll need to work hard to find a suitable showbiz and after going through a pile of junk, you may be disappointed. But luckily (you can thank me later) some of us took the time to look into some new genre and find an alternate entertainment world.

Guys, we’re Asians, so isn’t it safe to say that we’ll find something suitable towards the East? That’s why I bring to you a blast of Asian music. We are already familiar with J-pop and J-rock, thanks to the animes, but some of the most popular groups in Japan are actually Korean idol groups.

The South Korean music industry is surprisingly well developed. However, it is not exactly what Hollywood music is. When I first entered the world of K-pop, things were confusing for me as well. The first barrier is of course the language barrier but come on, whatever happened to ‘Music makes one’ and ‘Music is a language in its own’? Korean music has a unique touch of its own that makes it so different. Probably the most interesting thing about K-pop would be the idol groups. They are groups of boys or girls (rarely co-ed groups), having members from one to twenty-one (no this isn’t a typo), most of which concentrate on dancing as well as singing. So if you like to dance and party, K-pop is your genre because most of the songs are upbeat and comes with their own choreography. Although I’m saying K-pop, there’s a lot more to it actually. Hip-hop, R and B, Rock, Electro, Indies, Ballads—you name it! Many of the songs are groovy and will get you head-nodding, while others will work like a lullaby. You will realize the craze about K-pop around the world once you see that all the music videos and shows related to K-pop can be found with English subtitles. In fact, the popularity of K-pop has reached to such a level that Youtube has officially recognized it as a genre. On many occasions, K-pop videos have come as the most-viewed video on Youtube and many songs have placed in the Billboard Top 100 songs. It is surprisingly true that some of the idol groups have the largest international fan-body in USA. The Hallyu (Korean) wave is spreading far and wide(If you happen to watch KBS World or Arrirang, maybe you had a glimpse of that). There are a lot of sites from where you can download songs for free.

But I’m not saying K-pop is flawless. There are some things that will seem very new and shocking, but once you get used to it, you will learn to live with it.

Now I know a lot of complaint is about the guys and make-up. Hmm, let’s say they follow Michael Jackson too closely. Girls, you might have to live with the fact that a few guys are actually prettier than you. But once you get over the first shock, you might actually like them and fawn over their pictures.

The fan-base of K-pop in Bangladesh is quite small at the moment but it’s growing. With the strengthening of the Hallyu wave around the world, you cannot just miss out on it.

So I’m trying here to help out K-pop fans with the latest reviews and new songs. I got the hang of it pretty well and for those who never tried it out, let this be your beginning.

Keep reading and we’ll look at new and more detailed and fun reviews. Bit by bit I’ll explain all that there is to know. So welcome aboard and hope you enjoy the ride!

Behind the innocent eyes

During our sixth grade, we would always come out of school and eat some foods like ice creams and cold drinks. They would be sold outside the campus. Every day, I would notice a small boy standing there and crying about his mother being very ill and that he needed to buy medicines for her. I ignored him for a few weeks but could not do it anymore. So on day, I went up to him and bought him an ice cream and gave him 100 taka to buy medicine for his mother. He was very happy and ran off. I felt very good and got on my car and headed towards home. Our car stood on a signal when I spotted the small boy in front of a shop. To my surprise, rather than buying medicines for his mother, he bought three packets of cigarettes. After buying them he came outside the shop and threw down the ice cream I bought him. Then, he took out a lighter and lighted one of the cigarettes and started smoking. I could not believe my eyes. He was barely twelve years old and he was smoking! Furthermore, citizens saw him but no one cared enough to try and stop him. Is this what poverty is doing to us!

Time or Life

Time or Life?

The other day I was going home from school like usual. We stood at a traffic signal near Banani when I noticed that another car, not following the red light, rushed past us. I looked away with a sigh noticing the wrong doings of the driver. Suddenly, I heard a loud screeching noise. I opened the window to see the car bumped into another jeep and rolled across the lane. Instantly, it caught fire and the windows broke shooting bits of glasses around. Within moments, people gathered around the car to see if there was anyone inside. Hurriedly, two men were taken to the hospital for their severe injuries while one woman was announced spot dead. These kinds of accidents are happening everyday in our lives. Maybe the driver was driving fast to reach some place in time. Even then, we should not try to save time where it can cost us our own lives. It’s high time that we start maintaining the traffic rules. After all, nothing is more important than your own life.  

My Precious Duster

My Precious Duster

During our fifth grade, we used to have a language teacher whom none of us could stand. Whenever she entered the class room, she would only bang the duster and shout. We even asked our supervisor to change the teacher. After her refusal, we decided to do something on our own. So one day, we took the duster and threw it out of the window. When she came to the class, she started looking for the duster. She asked us the whereabouts of her precious item and we all told her that we had no clue. Finally she called in the supervisor. She started screaming and claimed justice. At last she cooled down when the supervisor said that she will be given two new dusters. After her class was over, we all rejoiced to see the huge drama our action caused and planned to do the same with the new dusters. But the next time we went to do the same, um… let’s not talk about that…
