INFINITE fans got some disappointing news about the group's upcoming fan meeting tour. L (Kim Myung Soo) won't be joining his bandmates for "INFINITE Rally V," which was announced earlier this week.

On July 7, L's agency Look Media confirmed the absence, citing scheduling conflicts that prevent him from participating in the tour. The announcement came just a day after INFINITE revealed the full details of their 2026 fan meeting series, which kicks off in Incheon on August 29-30.

The tour was set to bring INFINITE to multiple cities, giving fans a chance to connect with the members up close after years of the group operating with a more limited schedule. While Look Media didn't elaborate on the specific scheduling issue keeping L sidelined, it's the kind of conflict that can arise when members juggle various projects and commitments.

It's unclear at this point whether L will be able to join any of the later stops on the "Rally V" tour or if his absence will span the entire run. INFINITE hasn't issued an updated statement about how the tour will proceed without him or whether fans should expect any adjustments to planned activities.

This marks the first major update to the tour since its announcement, and it's definitely a curveball for fans who were looking forward to seeing the full group. L has maintained an active career outside of INFINITE's activities, so the conflict isn't entirely unexpected—but it's still tough timing for everyone involved.

Infinity members and casual fans alike will be watching for any further announcements about the tour's lineup and whether L might be able to make a surprise appearance at any of the scheduled stops. For now, the rest of INFINITE is expected to move forward with the fan meetings as planned.
