INFINITE’s much-anticipated return to the fan meeting scene has been met with mixed emotions. Recently, INFINITE Company announced that INFINITE would be going on a new fan meeting tour, INFINITE Rally V, which will start in Korea in August. This news instantly sent a wave of excitement through Inspirits worldwide, eager to reconnect with the iconic second-generation K-Pop group. The prospect of seeing all the members perform and interact together again after a period of individual activities and military enlistments was a dream come true for many. 
However, just one day after the initial celebratory announcement, their agency released a heartbreaking statement. They confirmed that beloved member L (Kim Myungsoo) would be unable to attend the fan meeting due to a personal schedule.
Fans were disappointed. This sudden update cast a shadow over the upcoming tour, as L’s presence is considered vital to the group’s complete dynamic and stage presence. 
The news hit particularly hard as Inspirits had been holding onto hope for a full group reunion, especially after the group’s recent comeback.
Hello, this is INFINITE Company. First, we would like to inform fans who have been waiting for the fan meeting. Due to L’s personal schedule, he will unfortunately be unable to attend the fan meeting. We sincerely apologize to the fans who have waited a long time for a full comeback. We will work hard to bring the best performance for the fans. Thank you.

Fans were absolutely devastated as they had waited so long to see all the members together. The desire to witness the complete INFINITE lineup on stage for “INFINITE Rally V” was immense, and L’s absence leaves a significant void for many attending the fan meetings.
You’ve been planning Infinite Rally for a long time, so how are there suddenly “unavoidable scheduling conflicts”? This is so disappointing. We almost never get to see all of the members together… We want to see all six members together.
