The long wait is almost over INSPIRITs because second-generation K-pop group INFINITE has confirmed that they’ll be releasing a new album and embarking on a concert tour.
On Monday, July 9, INFINITE released a scheduler for their upcoming full-group comeback.
The poster revealed that their seventh mini-album will be titled 13EGIN, and will be out on July 31.

INSPIRITs, the group’s fandom, were quick to note how special the album title 13EGIN is, given that this year marks INFINITE’s 13th debut anniversary.
13EGIN is also INFINITE’s first release after they successfully hold the trademark rights to their group’s name — definitely marking a new era for the group’s future activities.
In May, it was reported that the CEO of Woollim Entertainment, INFINITE’s original agency, handed the trademark rights to the group’s leader Kim Sunggyu. Sunggyu is the head of INFINITE Company, the agency that the six members established.
13EGIN will also be their first full group comeback in five years, following their third studio album TOP SEED in 2018.
Since then, the members – Sunggyu, Dongwoo, Woohyun, Seungyeol, L, and Sungjong – have all left Woollim Entertainment, pursued solo careers, and carried out their military services.
Aside from the new album, INFINITE will also hold a solo concert tour titled COMEBACK AGAIN.
