K-pop idol Nam Woo-hyun reveals battle with rare cancer
In a recent interview with the Korean media, singer Nam Woo-hyun mentioned the release of his first full-length solo album "WHITREE". As he was not accompanied by the other members of INFINITE for the interview, he appeared slightly uneasy.
Nam Woo-hyun mentioned his health condition during an interview, "Actually, I haven't been feeling very well recently," he said, "At the end of April, I underwent a major surgery. At that time, I was under general anesthesia, and the hospital told me that I have a rare cancer, which only occurs in one out of a million people. Although my fans knew that I had surgery, they didn't know it was for cancer. I didn't dare tell everyone because I was afraid they would worry."
Due to a sudden surgery, Nam Woo-hyun's condition wasn't very good either. "The surgery took 10 hours, and for 2 months after that I couldn't eat anything. I had to hang a blood bag on my body all day long; that period was really painful for me." Therefore, the SOLO album, which was originally scheduled to be released in May, was postponed in order to allow his body to recover and has only been released now. However, Nam Yoo-hyun managed to turn this crisis into an opportunity.
Nam Woo-hyun explained, "Since it was going to be postponed anyway, I thought I might as well include all the songs I wrote and turn it into a full-length album. The fans are the ones who prompted this decision because they have really been waiting for a long time. Although my physical condition is not fully recovered yet, I believe it will be different once I'm on stage (laughs)."
Nam Woo-hyun is well-known for his love towards his fans, and during the interview that day, his words were always about his fans, showing his full affection for them.

K-Pop【現場直擊】INFINITE時隔5年「完整體」訪台！嗨唱《The Eye》又遇三颱粉笑翻！
男團INFINITE時隔七年以「完全體」在台舉辦全新巡迴演唱會《COMEBACK AGAIN》，並以精湛歌舞提前與台粉「團員」過中秋。出道十三年的他們歷經團員當兵退伍、告別舊東家在新公司INFINITE COMPANY合體後展現團魂不滅精神的一面人氣依舊。 9/2、9/3一連兩天在新北工商展覽館舉行的演唱會的INFINITE不僅開票就創門票秒殺紀錄，兩場更吸引共六千名爆滿粉絲朝聖。然而此次是INFINITE出道13年來第三次在台灣舉辦大型演唱會，有別於前兩次開唱，再次合體的INFINITE展現十足的團結力及新氣象，不僅從歌單、舞台設計到舞蹈編排全都由六位成員親力親為參與籌備策畫，寵粉的他們更一口氣準備了從出道以來25首經典好歌饗歌迷，其中開場特別以膾炙人口的出道曲 〈Come Back Again〉( 再次回來吧 ) 象徵INFINITE氣勢回歸與INSPIRIT們（粉絲名）團聚。 緊接著更帶來充滿動感的 BTD (Before The Dawn)，當全員跳起魅惑及力道感滿滿的招牌「蠍子舞」更掀全場高潮，再來第三首更唱起曾登2012美國Billboard 告示牌K-POP排行榜冠軍的〈The Chaser〉( 追擊者) 把現場氣氛炒到最高點。 而接連獻唱多首粉絲喜愛的〈BAD〉、〈TELL ME〉、〈Last Romeo〉等金曲的INFINITE把粉絲拉進時光隧道，當唱起經典成名曲〈Be Mine〉(成為我的人)彷彿對粉絲呼喊示愛，令在場INSPIRIT們集體戀愛，頓時掀起無限回憶殺！ 除了經典金曲外，七月底發行全新迷你專輯《13egin》的INFINITE也趁著這次開唱攜新作來台首唱兩首新歌〈New Emotion〉、〈時差〉。 值得一提的是，這次演唱會上特別獻唱了〈The Eye〉這首歌似乎特別應景，原來這首中文名為〈颱風〉的經典歌2016年發行時台灣剛好遇到三颱來襲的天氣，這次相隔多年再次來台開唱獻唱這首〈The Eye〉又碰巧遇到三颱環繞，歌名巧合不僅十分「應景」成為粉絲間的話題，也足見「無限」魅力無法擋，連颱風都被吸引來共舞助陣！ 而寵粉無極限的INFINITE除了演唱會獻唱經典給足驚喜外，先前金聖圭曾在台北場演唱會做的手幅「逆應援」讓粉絲感動不已，這次趁著全員合體開唱，成員們也特別準備了「逆應援」當成彩蛋送給粉絲。表達粉絲對他們不離不棄的支持，讓現場洋溢著溫馨氣氛。 儘管是相隔七年以「完全體」來台辦演唱會，但實際上INFINITE其實出道以來就經常訪台，不僅成軍13年在台辦過多場演唱會及見面會，更曾在2015年登上小巨蛋開唱，而五年前(2018年)六位成員金聖圭、張東雨、南優賢、李成烈、L(金明洙)、李成種最後一次以完整體在台辦見面會後就各自忙個人事業及當兵服役，直到去年團員們包括成種、L、優賢、聖圭都以個人身分陸續來台會粉絲，足見INFINITE對台粉的重視！
