On the March 7 episode of Daesung's YouTube show 'ZIP Daesung', INFINITE appeared as guests.

On this episode, Sungjong shared his thoughts on Sunggyu being the group's leader, saying, "I'm so thankful that Sunggyu is our leader. Because he is a very responsible person." 

Dongwoo added, "To be more specific, Sunggyu built our company building. He made studios and offices for the staff. He also took care of the pay checks." 

"It sounds big, but it's not exactly a building, it's just an underground studio. And we don't have many staff members," said Sunggyu.

Sungyeol chimed in, saying, "I got a tax refund, but I guess [Sunggyu] felt bad for me, so he gave a big portion of the profit to us." 

The group also revealed that the settlement ratio is 9:1 - 9 for the artists and 1 for the company. "It's a tough decision. The company takes nothing. It's quite hard to run a business," admitted the members.

When Daesung asked if the ratio was available for a certain period of time, Sunggyu responded, "We didn't set a specific period. But recently, I've been wanting to change it."

"Now that I've experienced it, it was quite hard to maintain things," the group's leader added, "The monthly rent. The pay checks. Things like that. It's true that the members should come first. But after this tour, it would be good if you could give us a chance, because it's hard," making everyone laugh.
