A Thread of From Bottom to Here We Are Today : Woollim version 2010-2020

((yess ppl im aint kidding))

I would like to start with a little intro of the company first;

Woollim Ent established 16 yrs ago in 2003 and their very first artist is Epik High. They also the house agency of Nell, Strawberry Field, Kim Dongryul and few more.

In 2010, they announced to debut an idol group

Pre-debut;

Some of Infinite members actively participate as Epik High back dancer, MV appearance, and so on.

April 2010, Infinite variety show debut, You Are My Oppa and released She's Back

Debut: 09 June 2010

Infinite debuted with their first mini album First Invasion with title track Comeback Again and promote it along side She's Back.

Dashi Dorawa is a Michael Jackson-concept. Their debut was a hot topic because their sync dance.

The start of enter the chart;

January 2011, they released 2nd mini album, Evolution. They promoted Before The Dawn (BTD).

There's a choreography, a scorpion dance which Hoya's idea and that part makes them known as Synchronised-Idol. BTD was first song entered MuBank chart.

First Single Album; INSPIRIT

The very first fresh concept Infinite ever did. Nothings Over makes Infinite first time in Top10 Music Back chart.

((Yes bois slowly risinggggg))

The first d*worded story ;

21 July 2011 - First Studio Album, OVER THE TOP

Woollim was betting everything with this comeback. They're in huge debt and LJY even said if they can't win this time, the company won't survive.

How badly is it? -c-

Actually in Dashi Dorawa MV it's LJY own house. He didn't has much budget since the company wasn't doing well.

So, during Be Mine he bet anything he has that time for the last time for Infinite to survive. If not they're gonna d* worded

But do not worry despite they're not well-known yet, Over The Top was selling well that time I remember K-Inspirit bought more than one and ofc because Infinite gained new fans after Be Mine

In Sesame Player, they shows how Infinite was struggling to promote their songs. When they're on street no one actually knows their existence. Most shops didn't even play their songs. That's their level at that time however the boys didn't give up at all

INFINITE 1st win;

After more than a month, finally Be Mine hit number 1 in MCountdown chart on 1st September 2011.

This shows how much effort they did during those one month just to get this win They even get double crown for Be Mine

Following Be Mine, Infinite promoted Paradise after that, they charted 1st in Inkigayo and later 1st in MCountdown

((Ofc they couldn't believe it, look at Sungyeol's reaction. That's how much the fandom grow))

Because of their successful journey, they held their first ever concert! Second Invasion concert.

However sadly woollim still haven't doing that well. They don't have much clothes for changes. The boys even admit that they don't have spare pants to change

WORLD DOMINATION;

15 May 2012 - INFINITIZE, 3rd mini album

The Chaser was the start of Infinite world domination The Chaser got triple crown in MCountdown and was picked as #1 KPOP song of the year

(Despite having Gangnam Style in the list )

And Infinite started to be busy and even finishing 5 fansign in different state in Korea. Woollim even managed to travel using helicopter for them

I actually already did a thread of INFINITE in Billboard over the years you guys can check it out ((but it's not the latest)) https://twitter.com/curlymyung/status/732907356980289536?s=19

This is INFINITE's dorm over the years

2010 — 2012 — late 2013(?)

*Couldn't really remember the last one however they started to live individually in early 2016

Now their old dorms used by the juniors except the first one since it's demolished :'(

Infinite's Practice Rooms over the years!

I proudly say they built this with their own hardwork, sweat, blood and tears From a basement practice room into a very comfortable pr

This was back then 2013-2014(?) According to Naver;

INFINITE performance fee is roughly 60-70mil which is top 3 among idols (probably now increased over the years)

And Woollim paid them 70% of their profit.

Sungyeol finally paid their family debt The boys bought own houses

I'll continue this later it's freaking 3am i need to sleep
