Infinite H formed by the Infinite members, Hoya and Dongwoo, released their first mini-album ‘Fly High’ on January 14th, they’re promoting it with the title song ‘Special Girl’.
This album, totally directed by the famous producer Primary, is evaluated as an album with an equal mass appeal and musicality, it’s also gaining attention as an album not only popular among their fans but also among common music fans and hiphop musicians. They show off an unusual music color they couldn’t show under their ‘original’ name and they’re receiving good responses saying they reached beyond the limits of an idol unit.
The title song ‘Special Girl’ got 1st place on the real-time chart after its release on the 11th and is still in the top 10 showing the signs of a lasting hit. The day of its offline release, the 14th, the album got 1st place on the site of the Hanteo chart counting the total of the CD sales, they said that they worked all night to adjust to the volume due to the demand being higher than they expected it to be.
Infinite H’s representant revealed to Newsen “We were shocked to see that the response was better than what we expected. The preorders already reached 120,000 copies so it was hectic to adjust to the volume” and “We started to produce the second distribution even before the release of the first-press edition but since the days of release are different nationally, it’s being reflected gradually on the album sales charts”.
They added “The oversea shipping volume is reflected a bit later but it seems that if we add the oversea sales as well, we will have an astonishing result” and “They’re planning to carry the momentum from this and do their best during their promotions”.
