After news came out that Dongwoo would possibly miss INFINITE's Japanese tour in Osaka due to his father's death, it appears now he will be performing with his group.

Dongwoo had been in Tokyo for Infinite's Japanese tour and had flown back hurriedly on the 2nd after his father passed away. He missed both the 3rd and 4th shows. Now, a representative from INFINITE has stepped forward to clarify Dongwoo's status in Osaka. The rep revealed, "It's true that Dongwoo will be participating in the Osaka concerts starting on September 6."

Following the Osaka concerts which conclude on September 8, INFINITE will make their full comeback in Korea.

My first reaction was that this was too early but maybe Dongwoo wants to surround himself with work and what he loves. Some people grieve like that

I don't understand why people are overthinking this. Woollim already announced a couple days ago that Dongwoo won't be attending any more of the That Summer 3 concerts b/c he's in mourning. But all of a sudden, news says he's going to be attending the concerts? What does that tell you? That tells me that Dongwoo made the decision to come back and continue on. He's using it as a way to get over his grief. That's just how some people get over the loss of a loved one. When I lost my loved one, I was given 2 weeks off. I didn't take it. I attended the funeral and went back to work right after because I knew that staying at home, where that person will no longer be, will do nothing but hurt me. Some people get over their loss by diving headfirst into their work. And Dongwoo had already accepted his father's condition when he gave his ment speech days before his father passed away. He already said that there's nothing he can do but hope that he gets to spend what little time he has, with his father. Why do you guys feel obligated to tell him what he should and should't do? If he wants to get over his sadness by focusing on work, then let him. If he wants to take time off and mourn, he would have b/c Woollim already gave him time off and the members even said that it's up to Dongwoo to make the decision. What I hate most is when fans try to enforce their opinions onto their idols. Dongwoo obviously doesn't want to stay at home and he wants to get back on his feet as soon as possible. As Woollim already stated a couple days ago, they took Dongwoo out of the concerts and he wasn't supposed to attend the remaining concerts. there was also talk of Dongwoo not having a comeback with Infinite, at least till he's better. I really highly doubt that they forced him into it. It was more than likely Dongwoo's own decision to try and get back on stage asap as a way to deal with his loss. Fans should be more understanding than anyone on the decisions their idols make. I stand by Dongwoo's decision b/c it's his life. And if it cheers him up to perform again, let him. It'll help him get over his loss quicker, and help him heal.

idk about this like at first i felt like this wasn't the good moment to go back with promotions taking in account what happened but then if he doesn't do anything hell probably become a bit depressed with his fathers passing...like other users have mentioned maybe this is his way of "getting over" his fathers passing.

Yeah...he might be using this to avoid grieving :(

While he should rest, I feel that he finds happiness in performing so idk.... If that's the case, then he should definitely perform, but if he's performing just bc he has to, then he should take a break
