Insiders revealed information on INFINITE's future following Sunggyu, Dongwoo, and Sungyeol's leave from Woollim Entertainment.
On March 31, Woollim Entertainment announced the 3 INFINITE members would be leaving the label after debuting in 2010, and fans are now wondering about the future of the group. According to insiders, most of the members will leave the company, and like L and former member Hoya, Sungyeol is also reportedly planning to move into acting.
Insiders stated, "However, after 11 years, the members all had their own inside stories that made them choose to stand alone. Hoya and L have turned into actors. It looks like Sungyeol, who was unable to renew his contract on March 31, will be promoting as an acting idol until he can find a new management agency."
They also revealed Sunggyu had been in discussions with a large agency, but they ultimately did not sign him. Insiders alleged, "According to the music industry, Sunggyu had a recent contract discussion with a large entertainment agency, but it ended up backfiring."
Rapper Dongwoo is also said to be looking to join a hip hop label. Youngest member Sungjong is expected to discuss his contract renewal with Woollim following his mandatory military service.
As for Woohyun, insiders said, "Because Woohyun completed his contract renewal before enlisting in the military, there remains a possibility for a full INFINITE promotion. Woohyun will be discharged this August." On L, "Out of all the members, L is the latest to be discharged, However, if the members are willing, there's a possibility INFINITE will make a comeback in around 3 years."
Stay tuned for updates on INFINITE.

I doubt that last part. More than likely Woohyun will continue on as a soloist, and the others as actors. Though I'm not opposed to him and Sungjong being a duo. Jongie has a nice voice that has not had much shine when Infinite was a group as a duo with Woohyun he'd get much more opportunity, and they are certainly very charming and funny on varieties together. They did "Battle Trip" and it was equal parts heart warming, cute and funny. So yea I can see them as a duo for a couple of years if Jongie decides to stay.
