The best thing I’ve seen this week.

Pentagon’s debut song in acoustic version. They were only rookies back then! And they all sound great live and Hui plays the piano so well!

I can’t stand the thought of you all missing out on such an amazing thing. @daydee @hades @ohhaeyoung Anyone?

    The problem with this group is that there are 10 members and everyone of them is good–well, I’m still on the fence about Yuto maybe because I think E’ Dawn and Wooseok rap better. So there’s only so much time to shine that some end up getting. Why don’t they give Yanan more lines!? I seriously think he’s the most slept on in that group and I honestly think he can give Jinho a run for his money. Are Yanan and Yuto there for the Chinese and Japanese stuff?

      Hey, I get your point. They were formed through Pentagon Maker where they had to collect points and if someone didn’t make the cut, he wouldn’t debut. I think Shinwon was eliminated but in the end got to debut. (Haven’t seen it yet, don’t know the details.) Maybe they hoped to cut some members there and speaking objectively, it would have helped. More lines! Speaking subjectively, no way!

      If I had doubts about someone, it would be Shinwon (even if he’s my bias). His vocals are good but not very stable. I do not doubt Yuto at all but I might not be the best judge of rap skills. But… He writes his raps himself and his flow is good.
      I am not sure this will help – it’s a song composed by the rap line and Yuto raps in Japanese.

      I’ve just listened to his rap compilation and he does have slower raps but that isn’t the point, is it? In what way do you feel he’s lacking?

      Yanan and Shinwon always get the least lines… I think it might be because their voices aren’t stable? They might be more likely to screw up a live. I guess. But yes, Yanan’s vocals are really good. The one line he had in this video was so perfect.

      I am not sure that’s the main reason but one of the reasons definitely. Pentagon is quite popular in Japan (their last EP charted 1st on Japanese Tower Records Weekly chart), so having a Japanese member comes in very handy. They do not have anything in China though.

      I hope that when they get more popular, Cube might let them do some solo/sub-unit stuff. That would let them shine.

    This group is seriously underestimated though. Thanks for the share!

    That is some very good live singing! I’m still not that familiar with Pentagon but they have a lot of natural talent 😀
