"Looking good my man!" Infinite member Hoya said to Eric.
"Gomaowo, it's a real pleasure to work with you. I love everything you guys release! Infinite has been in most of my playlist when I workout!" Eric said in a joyful grin.
"We get that a lot from other groups. Sungyu hyung does most of work for us. We've been blessed to have the fame. I can remember a time where it looked like things weren't going to be possible." Hoya said remembering their rough debut.
"I heard your CEO spent everything he had to give y'all a debut. Honestly your story is truly inspiring. There aren't many cases where idol groups can miraculously grow. Either a group does consistently well, or the unfortunate case of many where there is little support that they disband. It's heartbreaking seeing so many talented groups come and go because of legal issues." Eric replied.
"We've been real lucky. It started with Be Mine at the end of 2011 and from there we were able to carve out our own fandom. This year is set to be major chapter." Stated Hoya.
"I wish you guys all the very best. Y'all deserve it." Eric replied.
"Thanks man, wish you sunbaes the best." Hoya smiled as the pair prepared to performed Nam's latest comeback.
The "Nam Nation" a nickname the ever-growing fandom that Eric personally has. A dozen other idols are part of it including Kara's Nicole, Seohyun and Sooyoung, and Exo's Baekhyun. The concept would follow the "Nation's Boyfriend" trope Eric is so good at playing with, this time a more stylish look. Featured in the music video was SM Rookies Joy, Irene and Wendy who play as highschool fangirls. Eric would dress himself in a red suit as he and Hoya gave an elaborate show.
