The likelihood of you reading this and not being deeply familiar with INFINITE is so minute that it's worth bypassing the intro jibber and getting straight into it. Wait, you're like INFINITE who? In a nutshell–7 piece, male K-Pop group with razor sharp choreography (including a stunning 'Scorpion Dance' move that never fails to raise your neck hair) and intensely layered pop masterpieces, from the world-acclaimed 'The Chaser' to this year's lavish, pulsating 'Destiny', complete with an MV containing more lens flares than Michael Bay's entire CV. 手持工作证，和一名摄影师一起，我走进了韩国组合INFINITE伦敦首秀之前的服装室。 如果你不熟悉INFINITE，那麽你极可能跳过这段介绍。等一下，你知道INFINITE吗? 7人7色的男子k-pop组合拥有锋利的刀群舞(其中的丝毫不差的'蠍子舞'令人寒毛竖起) 在流行音乐中独占一筹，从去年举世瞩目的'追击者'，到今年奢华脉动的'Destiny'， 其MV甚至比Michael Bay的简历还要绚丽多彩。(Michael Bay，美国着名导演、制片人) http://i.imgur.com/UQQNmLc.jpg Three and half years into their career and they've set out on this major tour, taking in America and Europe alongside their extensive Asian dates. One Great Step has played to big audiences, audiences louder than jet engines taking off and even hysterical audiences, as anyone at the New York City show will attest to. But above all that, OGS, with its 120 minute-plus running time , was about INFINITE's already impressive back catalogue and refined showmanship, and at last delivering it to their ever increasing, heavily devoted international fanbase. 仅仅在出道3年半的时间，他们已经在美国、欧洲，以及亚洲展开了巡回演唱会。 One Great Step拥有广大的粉丝，歇斯底里的粉丝们的欢呼尖叫甚至比喷气式飞机 起飞的声音还要大，这一点在他们的纽约演唱会上已经得到认证。但比起这个, OGS, 在超过120分钟的演出里，充满了属於INFINITE的令人印象深刻的舞台表演，让其 国际粉丝数量不断增加。 http://i.imgur.com/ANcAFWB.jpg FIASCO was invited to spend time with INFINITE backstage, in a smallish room crammed with bags, bodies weighted with walkie talkies, make up, and hairdryers. The atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed given that even through concrete walls you can hear the fan screams intensifying as stage time comes closer. Woohyun plays a battle game on his phone, Sungyeol carefully watching over his shoulder. Beside them, Dongwoo is napping soundly in a single chair. Sungjong perches–bright-eyed and sweetly cheerful–next to him. Sunggyu is in the make-up chair as Hoya appears–crackling with energy–to say an exuberant hello, while L sits quietly on a far couch, lost in his own thoughts. Their bodies are tougher looking, even the maknae's, than they are on-screen, all sinewy muscle and broad shoulders, while their faces– found decorating everything from keychains to posters to Korean Pepsi commercials–are almost preternaturally beautiful. FIASCO此次受邀能够来到INFINITE演唱会後台，这是一个挤满了袋子、演唱会设备， 集梳化於一体的狭小空间。尽管你能透过水泥墙听到随着演唱会临近而不断增大的 粉丝的尖叫声，但屋里的气氛出乎意料的轻松。优贤正在玩手机游戏，成烈仔细地 查看他的肩膀。在他们边上，东雨正在椅子上酣然入睡。在东雨旁边的成种，明亮 的眼睛，总是给人欢快的感觉。圣圭正在梳化，Hoya总是充满能量地不停说话，L 静静地坐在远处的沙发上，沈浸在自己的世界里。他们的身材比电视上看着更健美， 就算是忙内也是一样，发达的肌肉和壮硕的肩膀，但是他们的脸蛋，你可以在韩国 百事广告里看到，不可思议的漂亮。 http://i.imgur.com/sWmcUFM.jpg However, there's no hiding they're tired. Not surprising given 2013 has had them working non-stop on group and individual projects but it's also been a year of ups and downs for various members in the public eye. You, as an Inspirit, know the deal. It's been and (mostly) gone. Right now they're focused on closing OGS out in style, on making the most of exploring new turf and making good on their fans' unfailing support. There might be some fatigued eyes in here but INFINITE are still friendly, welcoming and warm, confidently hailing us across the room in English. 然而，他们的疲惫也无法遮掩。在2013年从未间隙的组合及个人活动，以及一整年 多位成员的个人活动，这样的疲惫并不奇怪。你，作为一名Inspirit，当然知道这 些。今年即将结束。目前，他们正着眼于提升自身魅力以及回报粉丝们的不断支持， 来为OGS画上一个完满的句号。他们或许眼神中有些疲惫，但INFINITE仍然十分友好 及温暖，十分有自信地与我用英语交谈。 http://i.imgur.com/2betK8E.jpg L, naturally, has his eye on the Canon Fiasco's photographer is using, chatting about the make and his own beloved camera. When Dongwoo finally opens his eyes he's up, Energizer bunny UP, he and Woohyun noticeably charging the atmosphere. They meet with young fans who are fighting cancer, signing every piece of merch and paper they're given, chatting with the girls to relax them in this clearly surreal moment, all the while fielding their questions and ribbing each other. Later Hoya wants to practice his English–he's patient as I scratch out his mistakes and determined to perfect the corrections–while Sunggyu is last to change and still buckling his belt even as he's stopping for solo shots. Their vocal exercises begin as they're miked up; loud and amusingly, given they harmonise like a well oiled machine on stage, a total cacophony. Still, we managed to pin them into a brief interview and these exclusive images, before they headed on to the Eventim Apollo stage to slay a thousand Inspirit hearts. L，自然地，一直盯着摄影师手上的Canon相机，并且聊着他喜欢的个人相机。当东雨 睡醒後，就像一只充满能量的兔子，他和优贤毫无疑问是气氛调节者。INFINITE在这 里和正在与癌症斗争的年轻粉丝见面，仔细地给每位粉丝签名，与每位粉丝聊天，提 问来缓解粉丝们对这梦境一般环境的紧张。 之後，Hoya练习他的英语-十分耐心地在我指出他的错误时不断练习纠正。此时圣圭 作为最後一名梳化的成员，在他系皮带的时候被我们叫停下来拍个人照片。当他们 聚在一起後，便开始vocal练习，大声也有趣，他们的和音就像一个运转顺畅的机器。 在他们正式登上舞台夺取万千Inspirit的心之前，我们有机会和他们做个简短的采访。 http://i.imgur.com/pEHE5gH.jpg - If you had free moments on tour, what did you do to fill the time? 如果你在巡演中有自由时间，你会怎麽度过呢? The US tour was going for about two weeks with four shows, so we had chances to enjoy our free moments. We all went to historic places, beaches and many places in each city. Those short trips helped refresh and inspire each of us a lot and we could learn so much about the cities and countries that we visited. 美国巡演在两周内进行了四场演出，所以我们有机会能享受自由时间。我们去了 每个城市有名的历史景点、海边，还有其他地方。这些短暂的旅行让我们放松也 激励我们，同时我们也了解到了每个城市不同的文化。 - What has surprised or shocked you the most about Inspirits outside of Asia? 对於亚洲以外的Inspirits，最让你们惊喜或印象深刻的是什麽? It was much bigger than we expected and we were so happy that they all welcomed us a lot. They encouraged us and made us feel more responsible for our career. We hope there will be more chances to visit again in near future. 海外的Inspirit比我们期待的还要多，并且他们都十分欢迎我们。他们激励我们， 也让我们对於自己的歌手生涯产生更多的责任感。我们希望在不久的将来能有更 多机会与他们见面。 - After shows how do you wind down and come off the high of performing? 在情绪高涨的演唱会後，你们怎麽让自己冷静下来呢? It takes hours to chill out. Talking about the performance and how much fun the show was, this is the best and easiest way to come off the high. We don't really have big, loud parties. We hope that we can have dinner with all the staffs after the tour. 要花好几个小时冷静下来，在一起聊着今天的表演以及有趣的事情是最好也最容易 的方法。我们不会在演唱会後有喧闹盛大的party。但希望能和所有工作人员在结束 巡回後一起吃个晚餐。 - What's the most memorable moment from this tour? 在这次巡回中，最让你们难忘的瞬间是什麽? All the cities we've visited gave us a big welcome. We could say, especially the show in Bangkok, Thailand was incredible. The enthusiasm of Thai Inspirit was unbelievable, we could feel the heat. All of us were so into the show that we could barely walk out to the parking lot after the show. 每个我们去到的城市都十分欢迎我们。如果要说，我们会说泰国，曼谷场的巡演 十分的不可思议。泰国Inspirit的热情无法相信的高涨，我们都能够感受到。每 个人都十分享受那场演唱会，在演唱会後我们甚至很难从停车场出去。 - Rookie group Alphabat recently covered 'Nothing's Over'; what were your thoughts on watching it? 新人组合Alphabat最近表演了你们的'Nothing's Over'，你们有看吗?有何感想呢? Thank you for the performance and we all enjoyed it! The new 'Nothing's Over' was a great transformation to watch and their dance was amazing, too. We can't wait to see their next performances! 我们很感谢他们的表演，也很享受地看完了。新的'Nothing's Over'变换了一种 新的形态，他们的舞蹈也十分惊人。我们已经迫不及待要看他们下一次表演了! - Sunggyu, you recently collaborated with Kanto and seemed to enjoy the opportunity. If you could collaborate with any artist from anywhere in the world, who would it be? 圣圭，你最近与Kanto合作，看的出来你十分享受。如果你有机会与世界任何一位艺术 家合作，你会选择谁? 　 I enjoy listening to a variety of music but I can say rock is my favorite. I was very lucky to have a solo album in collaboration with NELL. I learned a lot from them and enjoyed every moment. I really look forward to working with NELL again in the near future. 我很喜欢听各种类型的音乐，但我最喜欢的还是摇滚。我在solo专辑的时候有幸 能与NELL前辈一起合作。从他们身上学到很多，也很享受合作的过程。我十分期 带能在近期与NELL前辈再次合作。 - Woohyun, your solo stage for OGS was doing your own self-composed song… have you got the confidence to do a solo mini or full album? 优贤，你在OGS的solo舞台上表演的是你的自作曲，你有没有想过要出solo迷你或 正规专辑呢? I suppose it's a bit early to think about making a solo album for now. Though if there's a chance I want to show something unique, my own style, which will be quite different from INFINITE's. That will be a good chance for me to expand the spectrum and experience something new and inspiring. I'm thinking some ballad songs like 'Beautiful' will work. 我认为对於我来说现在出solo专辑还为时尚早。如果有机会，我想展示特别的， 只属於我自己，有别於INFINITE的风格。相信对我来说这会是一个不断提升自我， 体验新事物的好机会。我想做一些像'Beautiful'一样的抒情歌曲会很不错。 http://i.imgur.com/ovJlNtt.jpg - Sungyeol, you're been keeping busy doing Laws of the Jungle and Please Remember, Princess. What's your feeling about being in such demand? 成烈，你从<丛林的法则>到<恋爱潜能>，就一直十分忙碌。你对於如此忙碌的个人 行程有什麽想法吗? It's been a meaningful year having various careers and experiencing lots of things. It was a pretty busy schedule because was shooting during tour. Though I was so excited to try something new and meet many people. I find acting very interesting and will look forward to having more opportunities to try new roles. 能够有机会体验各种事业获得不同的经验，对我来说是非常有意义的一年。这的确 是十分繁忙的行程，因为我同时也在做着巡演。但我仍然十分兴奋能够尝试新的事 物，也认识到不同的人。我觉得表演十分有趣，也希望能有机会尝试更多不同的角 色。 - Myungsoo, fans bought your photo books because they are L fans, but what do you hope they thought when they took the time to study the images? 明洙，粉丝们买你的 photo book 因为他们是L的粉丝，但是你希望他们在欣赏你的 照片时，看到什麽呢? I appreciate all our fans and readers who have supported and enjoyed my photo books. This was about a part of me, Kim Myung Soo, a boy in his 20s, not as a K-Pop idol. I hope you all enjoyed the moments I captured through the lens and these photos will touch your wounds and give peace back to your life. 我很感谢我的粉丝和读者们能够那麽支持并喜欢我的photo book。这书是关於我的 一部份，金明洙，一个男生在他20代的故事，而不是k-pop偶像。我希望读者能够 享受我用镜头捕捉下来的每个瞬间，那些照片能够让人产生感动，并且能在你的 生活中带来一丝平静就好了。 - OGS is coming to an end; when you all look back on this tour what would you like to think you have achieved? OGS就快要结束了，当你们回过头看的时候，你们觉得收获到了什麽? We can't believe we have only 3 shows left for us this year. It was all about challenging ourselves and finding possibilities to step out further to the world. Fans all around the world made it there and enjoyed our show with us, that is the biggest achievement we got from OGS. 我们仍然难以相信只剩下最後的三场表演了。这场巡演是对我们自己的挑战， 同时也是对我们未来世界性的发展寻求可能性。能够得到世界各地粉丝的喜欢， 并且享受我们的表演，是我们这一系列巡演下来最大的收获。 http://i.imgur.com/x7GIBSZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/N2kbHHZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/VtLevGR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sz9if4m.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xyOVlnJ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/MOtsxKx.jpg http://i.imgur.com/gdpcolg.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xdWGzRy.jpg 原文来源 - http://bit.ly/1gC4Qe8 cr.FIASCO 中翻图片版 - http://imgur.com/KgViBnu (part1) http://imgur.com/VenM1or (part2) cr.LoveSungKyu_热恋站 [翻译:肥妮/制图:Dee] --
