Kino: This one’s funnier.
Kino: There’s Hongseok crying after being told off by Kino on the related video.
Yeo One: Yeo One’s Chinese is also good.
Alright, we’ll introduce ourselves!
One two three! TENTASTIC!
Hello. We are PENTAGON.
Jinho: Huh? Hui’s not here.
Our member, Hui is currently serving his military enlistment.
Jinho: Hang in there.
Shinwon: Hui is the only one smiling in that photo.
Kino: He’s on his own
Jinho: They changed our leader to Kino from Hui.
Shiwon: Let’s give it up for Kino!
Jinho: We hereby appoint you!
Wooseok: Congratulations.
Kino: How dare you touch the leader’s shoulder!
Jinho: Oh… Sorry
Jinho has become our temp leader again.
A nine member boy band under Cube Entertainment debuted October 10th 2016.
The name PENTAGON refers to the five elements a KPOP idol must have
Jinho: Do you all remember?
Kino: Of course.
Yeo One: Vocal/rap, dance
Yeo One: Vocal/rap, dance, teamwork
Yeo One: Vocal/rap, dance, teamwork, mind
Yan An: Talent! Talent!
Yeo One: Talent!
Jinho: I always get ‘talent’ confused
Jinho: I’m the main vocalist
Jinho: Hongseok is the lead vocalist
Jinho: Shinwon is a vocalist
Jinho: Yeo One is the lead vocalist
Jinho: Yan An is a vocalist
Jinho: Yuto is the leader rapper and lead dancer
Yuto: I don’t really lead anyone though…
Jinho: Kino is the main dancer, a vocalist, and the temp leader
Jinho: Wooseok is the main rapper
Wooseok: Yuto’s the main rapper too
Kino: Yuto and Wooseok are both main rappers
Wooseok: This should be corrected.
Jinho: Things almost got complicated between the members born in 1998
Jinho: So to settle things, the hyungs told the three members to be chingus
Jinho: At first it was awkward but they’ve become indispensable.
Shinwon: the effective date is different.
Shinwon: I told Kino and Wooseok to be “friends”
Shinwon: But the older hyung, Yuto came and…
Jinho: This is all thanks to Yuto
Shinwon: Thank you
Yuto: Yes, thank you
Kino only goes by his actual age in PENTAGON.
Don’t forget that your most of your friends are 1997.
Jinho: What do you say when people ask you your age?
Kino: I tell them I’m 25
Kino: These days I don’t tell them my birthday is “early”
Kino: I just address them as ms. and mr.
Shinwon: What do you mean you address them as ms. And mr.?
Jinho: Oh, call them ms. And mr. bluh bluh?
Kino: it’s much simpler this way
Jinho: even I don’t do that
Shinwon: Chemistry between members?
Kino: I think they mentioned almost every possibility.
Jinho: What’s Hui and Yeo One?
Jinho: Oh how Hui takes good care of Yeo One?
Jinho: Honestly I think it’s a little too much.
Jinho: What do you think?
Yeo One: I’m fine about it.
Jinho: Yeah. He likes that.
Hongseok: I feel like I’m being discriminated.
Hongseok: So I feel relatively sad.
Jinho: Hui Yuto, what a cute name!
Yoo~hoo~~
Yuto: Woah! They know so well!
Yuto: We used to have a unit called YooHoo
Kino: Perform for us one day!
You must say the word ‘Ding’ after saying YooHoo as Hui requested.
Jinho: Can you show us?
Ding~
Yuto: I didn’t know this.
Yuto: Please delete this one then.
Sometimes they call it YooHooWoo with Wooseok in it.
Wooseok: Yeah. I was in it too.
Jinho: Let’s see the funny acronyms.
Jinho: DoDo’s?
Jinho: They use that one a lot.
Kino: There’s Mayonnaise too!
Kino: HuiShinKi too!
Shinwon: WooShinYen!
Kino: Yeah. There’s WooShinYen!
Kino: Isn’t WooShinYen our first unit?
Wooseok: Even we forgot all about it.
Fun/No-fun Party: The Fun Party, Hui&Hongseok&Shinwon&Yanan&Wooseok No-fun Party, Jinho&Yeo One&Yuto&Kino
Jinho: Ahh, this is too old.
Shinwon: Shouldn’t we update this?
Kino: It is quite old.
Jinho: I guess I’ll be the only one in the No-fun party.
Jinho: Oh, and there’s Kino.
Wooseok: Yuto is so funny.
Jinho: I’m content.
Kino: I don’t really want to be fun.
Jinho: Yeah! Yeo One, Yanan were besties at first…
Kino: Yeah! Do you still feel the same?
Jinho: What do you think Yeo One?
Yeo One: I think this guy’s a seasonal friend.
Yeo One: He has his seasons.
Wooseok: You need to balance.
Jinho: I guess this is the process of getting older.
Jinho: A side story.
Jinho: Are the years correct? For when we joined Cube?
Jinho: Kino was the first?
Kino: Yes!
Shinwon: Nope it’s not all correct!
Jinho: Oh, really?
Shinwon: I joined in January of 2014.
Shinwon: Wooseok joined in the summer of 2014.
Shinwon: He joined during summer vacation.
Kino: Yeah!
Jinho: Me and Wooseok joined at almost about the same time!
Kino: Yeah. You came in towards the end of the year.
Wooseok: Yeh. I remember when Jinho joined.
Wooseok: He was playing the piano in the piano room.
Wooseok: So I knocked and said ‘Hi’
Wooseok: Hi
Jinho: I remember on the phone,
Jinho: Shinwon asked me,
Jinho: to act like a scary person.
Jinho: So I was like ‘Ah… Ok…’
Jinho: and tried to scare Wooseok.
Wooseok: He didn’t turn around to say hi.
Wooseok: He just looked at the through the mirror.
Jinho: I was playing the piano like this,
Jinho: and was like ‘Ah… Hi…’
Wooseok: Later I realized it was a joke.
Yeo One: Oh, you dislike mint-chocolate?
Jinho: I don’t understand why people like mint-chocolate!
Jinho: Why?
Jinho: Oh you don’t like them too?
Yeo One: I had a hard time when you went to the army.
Yeo One: They made almost 10 contents about it.
Hongseok: We didn’t force feed you or anything!
Wooseok: I reckon.
Jinho: All the members can speak 3 different languages.
Jinho: This is a little hard to tell.
Yeo One: Yeo One’s Chinese is also good.
Jinho: Yanan, what do you think?
Yanan: I’d say he’s alright.
Jinho: Yanan’s kind.
Jinho: Kino’s Chinese ability 2 points. Yuto 1 point.
Jinho: I think we should raise a little more points for Yuto now.
Jinho: Kino was 2, and Yuto was 1…
Yanan: Um… 1.5 points?
Shinwon: I’m 2.5?
Wooseok: That’s quite high!
Jinho: Wooseok is 2.
Yanan: I think Shinwon will reach 3 soon.
Shinwon: What about Wooseok?
Yanan: Wooseok, still the same.
Shinwon: Oh, 2.
Yuto: That’s alright Wooseok.
Yuto: How high is Yanan?
Yanan: It says 7.5 here.
Jinho: That means I’m better.
Jinho: Shinwon, close your eyes
Jinho: Did he do something here?
Shinwon: What’s the point of holding onto something that is not going to workout?
Jinho: Woah, how do you remember all that?
Shinwon: Also, that part about Asgard.
Yeo One: You remember it so accurately.
Shinwon: I think I spoke with Wooseok according to the script for 2 weeks at the time.
Wooseok: I was like to Shinwon,
Wooseok: ‘Can’t you just leave her alone?’
Wooseok: ‘This is the best I can do’
Shinwon: What’s the point of holding onto something that is not going to workout?
Wooseok: I was a good practice buddy. haha.
Kino: Yuto, do you remember?
Kino: We were the only ones who re-signed the contract!
Jinho: My first line was a swear word.
Kino: Oh yeah!
Jinho: ‘Damn fxxx’
Hongseok: And the scene where you kicked the bin.
Wooseok: Yeah!
Jinho: I broke the bin.
Jinho: I kicked it too hard.
Hongseok: King of destruction.
Jinho: Let’s have a look at PENTAGON’s signature MV’s
Jinho: Let’s begin with the one for
Shinwon: This was so tiring.
Jinho: Woah!
Shinwon: Do you remember? When we were washing up after, all the dust from our noses?
Shinwon: The black stuff that came out of our noses?
Jinho: 9 second boy.
Wooseok: I was known as the 9 second member back then.
Jinho: Oh I remember, that mushroom hairstyles.
Yeo One: Do you remember this?
Yeo One: Where we bang the tables to the beat?
Wooseok: This song is really good though.
Kino: There isn’t a better debut song than this one.
Jinho: The song was good.
Jinho: We will look at from verse 2.
Shinwon: It already hit 230 million views.
Jinho: Wow. It did hit 230 million views.
Kino: It’ll probably hit 300 million views.
Jinho: That’s so cool
Jinho: If we try harder, it will go up more, right?
Yanan: Oh! Shinwon’s hairstyle!
Kino: You suit that hair so much.
Shinwon: Really?
Jinho: Shinwon suits long hair.
Shinwon: Woah… Look at the snow.
Jinho: It was so cold.
Wooseok: We were all wearing shorts when it started to snow.
Kino: It was so cold.
Wooseok: I didn’t think I’d feel cold at all… but…
Shinwon: Was that in Jongro?
Jinho: Yeah yeah!
Shinwon: Sometimes when I pass there, it reminds me of ‘Shine’
Kino: Same.
Why do you think ‘Shine’ ranked up again?
Kino: I’m not sure.
Kino: It started ranking up again after the 5th week of release.
Jinho: It ranked up after about a month.
Hongseok: It was like 500th when it was first released.
Kino: Yeah. And then it went upto 12th.
Yeo One: There were so many videos from dance academies.
Jinho: I think the rumors did the job.
Jinho: How it had fun choreography.
Kino: And many celebrities did covers for this song.
Kino: Like on fan-signing shows and stuff.
Kino: I remember a lot of celebrities did it.
Jinho: Our members are still trying hard to beat that score.
Jinho: It’s a mentor song.
Jinho: During our PE lesson,
Kino: I haven’t heard the word PE in ages!
Jinho: Apparently kids love the song.
Jinho: So they danced 5 times to this song today.
Kino: Aww that’s cute.
Shinwon: That is why the view keeps increasing.
Jinho: I’m not in it so…
Shinwon: You can go and take some nap.
Yanan: Oh! Chinese vermicelli noodles!
Kino: Chinese vermicelli noodles look yummy!
Shinwon: Each member had their own color.
Shinwon: I was always black and white.
Kino: I think it was good because all 8 of us had our own scenes.
Jinho: What’s the story behind Wooseok? Why is he in front of the car?
Kino: He’s just in pain after breaking up.
Jinho: Did he blow up the car?
Wooseok: I got into an accident.
Jinho: Oh, it was an accident.
Kino: The MV is so pretty.
Kino: It’s actually one of my personal favorites.
Jinho: I remember getting a phone call when I was in the army about it.
Jinho: That the video was pretty.
Kino: Let’s see how much we improved.
Shinwon: We can compare it to
Jinho: Everyone seems so much more mature.
Hongseok: We even walk differently compared to
Hongseok: We even look differently from the side.
Kino: It’s been over a day and it’s still on trending.
Hongseok: This was the first time hitting 10 million in 24 hours, right?
Kino: Within 33 hours.
Hongseok: 33 hours?
Hongseok: I should’ve said 33 hours, my bad!
Kino: This is my favorite scene!
Kino: Not yet!!!
Kino: Here!
Kino: This part is crazy!
Kino: It’s like some ad!
Shinwon: This is the best part.
Jinho: I liked this part.
Shinwon: You should’ve told me.
Hongseok: It’s a little unfair because
Hongseok: I also filmed the billiard room, but I didn’t end up coming out.
Yeo One: We even filmed a scene altogether.
Shinwon: I took lots of photos from that scene.
Hongseok: Share them to me, please.
Jinho: This was the first scene, right?
Kino: Yeah. But it came out so well.
Kino: The background is so awesome!
Kino: There’s the whole universe behind us!
Jinho: We’ve definitely become more concrete and classy.
Kino: Yeah. I agree.
Hongseok: I feel like we’ve become more handsome too.
Shinwon: I’m not sure if it’s the same members.
Jinho: Alright. Now let’s have a look at PENTAGON’s Moments together.
Jinho: That first clip is very famous, right?
Jinho: The fancy is 1.2 million views.
Shinwon: I saw Hongseok watching this video.
Jinho: Kino’s fancam during our Hot-tracks fan sign.
Kino: This one’s funnier.
Kino: There’s Hongseok crying after being told off by Kino on the related video.
Shinwon: It was funny how Hongseok was watching this.
Hongseok: That let my self-esteem down.
Kino: You have to hear the first part.
Jinho: I remember this too. It was so funny.
Kino: This sound…
Wooseok: That’s so touching.
Jinho: Shall we look at the back part?
Kino: We were so hyped up.
Kino: We were more hyped up because,
Kino: This wasn’t the place with just our fans.
Jinho: It’s rare to have such an opportunity.
Kino: But then because everyone was cheering for us, loudly
Kino: Do you remember?
Kino: The 1st floor was full and there were people standing on the fence watching us from level 2 & 3.
Kino: It was amazing how they all cheered for us.
Shinwon: Kino was such a baby back then.
Jinho: Yeah. He was such a kid.
Wooseok: The video just gets people smiling.
Jinho: The next video is the Hong Seasons, right?
Kino: Oh this is the one with Hui.
Wooseok: I like this the most.
Jinho: This seems odd now that I look at it.
Jinho: How Hui and Hongseok are singing together.
Shinwon: I haven’t seen that hairstyle in a while!
Hongseok: This was like a little gift for the fans.
Hongseok: So it was supposed to be released after Hui went to the army.
Hongseok: So Hui picked the songs himself.
Hongseok: He said,
Hongseok: he chose this song because
Hongseok: He wanted to ‘walk together with the universe’
Jinho: We will take a look at the Fashion Film,
Jinho: that we filmed with Esquire Korea.
Yuto: Wooseok’s outfit looked nice.
Kino: This was the first video to reveal my tattoo.
Jinho: It’s my first time seeing it too.
Jinho: The fans must have been shocked.
Kino: Yeah, they were so shocked, whether the tattoo was real or not.
Jinho: This scene looks so cool.
Shinwon: This composition looks so cool.
Jinho: It feels like we should take our guns out in this scene.
Kino: Yeah. It was that sort of concept.
Yeo One: This is an ASMR video while we were performing for the song
Yeo One: I wanted to use the daisys but…
Yeo One: the sound didn’t sound that pretty
Yeo One: So I was only able to do some decorations with Daisy.
Yeo One: I feel a little sad about it.
Yeo One: I think the the video turned out really well.
Yeo One: Me and the video team member spent 2 hours alone just setting for this.
Yeo One: If you see the comments,
Yeo One: There are a lot of fans who posted the scene from their favorite sound on their timeline.
Kino: Why are you so good with ASMR?
Jinho: This person must watch a lot of ASMR videos.
Jinho: The algorithm probably led her here.
Shinwon: ASMR isn’t something you can just watch once.
Kino: I wasn’t very fond of it,
Kino: But, I’m shocked at how many people like this type of video.
Jinho: I like it too.
Jinho: It’s a talent.
Jinho: You need to have the right vibes.
Jinho: So, we had a look through our records since debut,
