An insider shared about INFINITE's comeback plans.

On August 30, Woollim Entertainment officially announced that Hoya has decided to leave the group and the agency. INFINITE will now be promoting as a group of 6.

An insider provided details on the boy group's upcoming plans. To Xports News, the insider stated, "First, the members will have to complete their individual schedules in order to prepare for a new album. They'll try to make a comeback before the year ends, however, the specific time period has not been set."

Meanwhile, Hoya, who has starred in the dramas 'Reply 1997', 'Glowing Office', and more, is expected to expand his acting career under a new agency.

On the June 21 episode, Sung Kyu joined the talk show as the special MC. Following his introduction, the other MCs asked, "When's INFINITE making a comeback?''
Sung Kyu was not able to immediately answer but hesitantly said, "After we come to an agreement with our contract... It's renewal season so... Our contract just came to an end last week."
To this, Yoon Jong Shin jokingly commented, "Let's go solo." Sung Kyu responded, "I released a solo album twice. I'll be back with a good album again."
INFINITE's contract with Woollim Entertainment officially came to an end on June 9. On the 12th, the label explained the contract renewal with the group is under discussion in a positive direction.
