[NEWS] INFINITE wear hanboks to celebrate Chuseok during their world tour

Although the boys of INFINITE are spending their Chuseok abroad with fans on their first world tour ‘One Great Step‘, they proved that their hearts are still in Korea. In celebration of the holiday, they each donned colorful hanboks while they performed in Japan.

 

INFINITE had an original idea to enter the stage atop what looks like a blue van and dressed in traditional Korean hanboks from head to toe. Thus, they hoped to do their Chuseok greetings, while simultaneously showing the Korean culture to their Japanese audience.

 

In addition, the boys carried baskets filled with presents, such as handwritten letters, paper airplanes, and more, which they threw at their fans.

 

The boys said in fluent Japanese: “It is Chuseok today in Korea. Chuseok is a national holiday. It is even one of the most important holidays along with Lunar New Year. On Chuseok, people wear hanboks to greet guests. We wore hanboks to greet all of you.“
