Infinite debuted in June 2010 with their EP First Invasion. In 2012, the single "The Chaser" was named Billboard's third best K-pop song of the 2010s decade and was included in Rolling Stone's list of 75 Greatest Boy Band Songs of All Time in 2020. Billboard subsequently launched their K-pop column "K-Town" with Infinite in January 2013. In March of that year, Infinite's fourth EP New Challenge sold over 160,000 copies in South Korea alone, making it among the best-selling albums of 2013, with the single "Man in Love" also experiencing success. Shortly after this, Infinite became the first Korean artist to obtain permission to film at Universal Studios Hollywood for their second single album Destiny. In 2014, Infinite became the first Korean act to top Billboard's Emerging Artists Chart.

Infinite are known for their highly synchronized dancing and choreography as well as their live vocals. They have also endorsed several brands including Samsung and Pepsi, and were the ambassadors for UNICEF's 2012 Birthday Campaign. The group placed within the top 20 on the Forbes Korea Power Celebrity 40 rankings in 2013 and 2014.
