Infinite promoting First Invasion (2010)

Infinite was first introduced before their debut by Epik High member Tablo's official Twitter, as the Hip-Hop group helped with the production of Infinite's debut mini-album First Invasion, and later through their own TV-show Infinite! You Are My Oppa!!.

Also prior to their debut, in March 2010, four Infinite' members, L, Sung Jong, Woo Hyun and Sung Kyu, appeared on Epik High's "Run" music video.

Two months after the release of their debut mini-album, the song "She's Back" was released as a digital re-cut single including a remix of the song. In early 2011, Infinite released their second mini-album Evolution.

Only a few days after their second mini-album release, the group debuted in Japan with the release of a rental only single "TO-RA-WA". The single included their Korean debut song, "Dasi Dorawa", however, it was re-titled for the Japanese release. A second rental only single was released on February 2011, "She's Back".

One month later, on March 17, the group released their first Korean single "INSPIRIT", which included two new songs and a remix. Only one day earlier, on March 16, Infinite also released their third Japanese rental-only single "BTD (Before the Dawn)", which featured their second mini-album's, Evolution, lead track.
