Even if you don’t know Pentagon well and ask any Universe (Pentagon’s fandom name) anything about the group there is no doubt that many fans would state the following factors that make up the group: resilience, strength, independence, belief and trust within their fans.
While many talk about the groups hardships of becoming a 9 member group and struggles with their management agency, the members still continue to push towards their dream in their respective fields and countries alike. Always putting one foot infront of the other since debuting as a group back in 2016.
As previous articles and statements have been released, although various members have parted ways with Cube Entertainment the members have assured fans countless times from the end of 2023 to the start of 2024 that ‘Pentagon will always be Pentagon’ and ‘Pentagon is Pentagon’.
One of the members in Pentagon (Kang Hang Gu) also known by ‘Kino’ as the groups main dancer, vocalist, sub rapper and unofficial visual of the group itself would be next after Yuto to officially set up his own company to help with his new start for the new year.ย The artist is often recognized within the fandom for his impressive producing and help in writing 13+ songs for Pentagon and numerous songs on his official SoundCloud account and demos.
Since announcing his own agency NAKED and previously announcing it on December 14th 2023, Kino has already been booked and busy with events, music releases and giving more to Universe’s then ever before. Even recently announcing his brand new and first official EP [ If this is love I want a refund ] ahead of his WeVerse Community Opening.ย
At this time Kino has shared his behind the scenes of the American road trip with his friends with fans as well as some certain special clips of the idol promoting his music release in the most creative way!
In a somewhat trendy outfit, it was definitely something that has been catching people’s eyes in the general public and crowd at the popular music festival. Although seemingly a little nervous in some of the clips themselves, Universe has voiced their support for the artist as he asked for numerous real time feed back from people at the site of the festival.
While some lucky fans would meet Kino and take pictures of the thoughtful promotion and even listen to his new (currently) unreleased song, some couldn’t help but notice the well known Shang-Chi actor (Simu Liu) in one of the short videos sharing his thoughts on the song!.
Kino has also since released various photos taken for vtMagazine (Vanity Teen) and took to the magazine to share his story,ย where he views himself going forward and even what has changed.
Kino is expected to release his first EP [ If this is love I want a refund ] on May 2nd 2024 and has released two videos for the EP, it will contain the previously released song ‘Freaky Love’. You can view other promotions below.
