2014: One Great Step Returns, Season 2 and Japanese/Korean debut
Infinite F was officially announced at the One Great Step Returns encore concert, held February 28 and March 1. There, they performed the song "My Heart is Beating" for the first time. The song was eventually revealed to be the main OST for the KBS drama Hi! School: Love On, starring group leader Sungyeol and fellow Infinite member Woohyun.
The unit would have their first official release on Infinite's second Korean studio album, Season 2. The song "Going Crazy" was composed by Konan of indie Korean rock group Rocoberry.
On October 14, Woollim Entertainment announced that the sub-group would be making their official debut in Japan on November 19 with a three-track single album, Koi no Sign.[1] Akiko Higashimura, creator of Princess Jellyfish, provided illustrations for the album jacket. Koi no Sign debuted on the Oricon Weekly Chart at #6, selling 31,287 copies.[2]
As part of Japanese promotions, a pop-up store was set up in Harajuku from November 17 to 30, selling various Infinite F goods and clothing items. In addition, the sub-group did a five-show showcase tour, performing in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo.
On November 25, the album cover for Blue was revealed, closely followed by the announcement that Infinite F would be debuting in Korea the following week. The MV for "My Heart is Beating" and album were both released on December 2.[3][4] The sub-group made their official music show debut on Music Bank on December 5. On December 12, Infinite F became the first Infinite sub-group or solo to be nominated for first place on a music show, losing to A Pink's "Luv" on Music Bank.[5]
