But long before this, as is usually the case with all the spinning groups in Korea, the spectators are "prepared": they produce a bright and interesting show, where audiences are represented by beginners. Under Infinite (group) created the project "You are my oppa", on which all seven guys appeared. Of course, the audience drew attention to the charming and sociable guys. In addition, they performed two songs from their debut album: She's back and Come back again. In addition to vocals, everyone was impressed by the tremendous synchronicity of movements, which not all performers boast of, and interesting choreography of the numbers.
