you HAVE to live to basquiat by them, like you *HAVE* to. the vocals in there are absolutely INSANE. you HAAAAAAAAVE to! jinho (the main vocalist) is the best male vocalist PERIODDD.
I agree that Jinho is a reeeeally good vocalist, I might just be a bit biased by Hui and his fantastic vocals! However, all in pentagon can sing! Period!
I recommend Runaway, ShaLaLa, Dr BeBe and Basquiat. Basquiat and Dr BeBe are a must. You should probably check one of their vocal compilations. They are honestly amazing.
The girl in pretty pretty is Chungha The rapper with the unique tune is Dawn he isn’t a part of pentagon anymore but is a soloist Hui was doing military during feelin like
Pentagon self produced songs have a lot of rock elements. Basquiat especially with the guitar riff & leader Hui's vocal is phenomenal. The recent album B-sides are amazing. One Shot has rock elements, The Game is opera + rock. They're just so amazing and I can't brag abt them enough!
@@soiaonui same! i wasnt stanning any grp for a long time coz their music doesnt resonate with me since i love rock. But their Road to Kingdom Very Good stage was right up my alley! Ive been obsessed since!
They actually have variety of pop rock songs because of Hui (Leader, Main vocalist, Lead dancer, Rapper) He loves rock, thats why when he is producing their songs, most of them sound like a pop rock
The rapper with "different" voice is Dawn, he left Pentagon and you may recognize him by (Hyuna and Dawn: Ping pong). I love everything about Pentagon: They are funny/caotic as NCT and SVT, they are sexy as Monsta X and they produce their own songs like SVT 😍. If you liked more "Daisy" and "Feelin like" check "Dr bebe" and "Sha la la" 😁 "Do or not" is more kind cute pentagon P.S.: They are VERY TALL and 6 packs guys kkkkk
daisy is an absolute masterpiece. from melody, to lyrics, to mv, to choreo. just pure perfection! hui did so well with this song i can't praise him enough for being such an amazing composer. pentagon as whole are filled with such aces doing everything from writing their own lyrics to choreographies to even doing acting in dramas. theyre all so great i love them lol.
Sir! You should probably know that Kino from Pentagon is best friends with Vernon! And Jun and Minghao were on a Chinese show with Yanan from Pentagon and they're good friends too ❤️
despite pentagon having a more mature sound they always come back to their brighter concepts, before they released 'feelin like', one of their latest bright cbs are 'do or not' and 'humph', i would also like to recommend 'naughty boy' and their japanese release called 'happiness' too!
I was waiting for you to check them out! They are probably one of the most interesting groups in kpop with a variety of different personalities, looks, and talents. Their vocal line is IMMACULATE. Jinho (main vocalist) is my ultimate bias, I think you'll like him a lot if you check out his covers. He used to be an SM trainee, was a member of the SM Ballad project group, and almost debuted in EXO as a main vocal. After leaving SM he also worked as a vocal coach, which is super cool! One member left sadly, but he is a soloist under the name Dawn under P-nation. Two members are serving in the military rn and Jinho only recently returned, so this explains why the number of members will change throughout the MVs.
SM the Ballad (feat. SHINee's Jonghyun, SuperJunior's Kyunhyun, Jay Kim from TRAX, and Pentagon's oldest - and smallest - member Jinho) was so great! Their song "Hot Times" is a masterclass in vocal runs! 🥰
He actually never almost debuted with EXO! He's explained on multiple occasions that people have misunderstood him, he would've debuted with an SM group, but he himself stated it was (most likely) not gonna be EXO
jinho (the small guy with the cape in shine lol) is actually currently in the same musical with jinki in 'midnight sun'! they play the same character tho so there's not much interactions of them being together but theyre pretty close already since jinho used to be an sm trainee and actually debuted in sm as part of the group called 'sm the ballad' along with shinee jonghyun, suju kyuhyun, and jay kim so he knows a lot of current sm idols rn, (especially shinee, some exo and some nct members). jinho was also the guy who won first place on sm everysing (exo minseok placing second) so u know his vocals are no joke! him as well as hui and hongseok are the main vocals. :)
as a huge rock fan, pentagon is my only ult kpop group. most of the members are rock fan and they like making rock songs like daisy, one shot, spring snow, do or not, genius, basquiat... they're all incredible song makers, i think you should listen them more, you really gonna love their music
Thanks for reacting to Pentagon! Their sound is really more varied than just going from cute > sexy. You should listen to Do Or Not, their comeback between Daisy and Feelin' like and it has more upbeat vibe. As a self-produced group they are really into experimentation and really play with sound and instrumentation. Another reacter put it really well, *Pentagon's signature sound is more of a TEXTURE than a genre or 'vibe'* . I hope you react to more of Pentagon including their besides and covers!
the rapper you like (dawn) was kicked out of the group in 2018 because of a dating "scandal" with hyuna. he's thriving in pnation and they're engaged now. jinho was missing in daisy because he was enlisted and hui was missing in feelin like for the same reason.
I think it will be hard to pin down a fave era just because they bounce around so many genres each album… their titles switch up between mature/sexy/dark and innocent/fresh/fun almost every release… But they debuted in 2016 from the show Pentagon Maker with 10 members. Jinho, Hui & Hongseok have already enlisted (Jinho is back now), Dawn (formerly E’Dawn) left the group & Cube in 2018 but is now in PNation, Dawn, Hui & HyunA had a trio under Cube before Dawn & HyunA left called Triple H (I miss them so much but I’m happy everyone’s happy ;-;)… Jinho was part of SM BALLAD actually! Though he never formally debuted under SM-I believe he was originally supposed to be in EXO though? Yeoone, Shinwon, Kino & Wooseok are the remaining Korean members who will eventually have to enlist… Wooseok is the giant rapper and also the maknae lol. Oh! And they have 2 foreign members, Yuto (Japanese) & Yanan (Chinese). If you ever end up watching the Chinese show CYZJ that Jun & The8 participated in, you’ll see Yanan too! He was partnered with Jun most of the show! My biases are Hui & Yuto but I’m wrecked constantly lol and oml sorry if everything I wrote is all over the place-I’m currently getting over being sick!
Because Jinho was at SM prior to EXOs debut, a lot of people thought he'd debut with them and were surprised when he didn't. However, Jinho said that he was supposed to debut with a different group, but the members moved on one by one so he was left without a group.
Someone else has probably mentioned this but Pentagon have done a lot of "It's Live" videos on the It's Live channel for the last 3 comebacks and you have to check them out! Their live vocals are insane so I know you'd enjoy them. Hui is my bias and can't wait for him to be back; he created a masterpiece with "Daisy." Can't wait for you to experience more Pentagon (when you have the chance)!
@pentagu’s groups guide and individual guides are AMAZING. Definitely worth checking out if you’re interested into getting to know them more. There are a lot of really good 3rd gen vocal lines out there but it honestly isn’t a stretch at all to say Pentagon one of the best. Their live singing is amazing. One of their main vocals (they have 3), Jinho actually debuted back in 2010 in the first SM THE BALLAD unit alongside the likes of SHINee’s Jonghyun and SuJu’s Kyuhyun.
Shine was a bit of a viral hit but didn't get them any wins. Daisy was their first win. I don't even think it's completely them being slept on, but also a lot of bad timing, they always have comebacks when the big names do and so keep getting eclipsed, but they finally started getting the recognition they deserve after being on Road to Kingdom Some other favorites of mine would be: Can You Feel It Do or Not Naughty Boy Critical Beauty
I am so glad you are getting into Pantagon!!! They are underratted and deserve so much more ! All their title tracks are bangers. Dr Bebe is probably my fav but I do recommend Shalala, Runway, Can you feel it and Basquiat. Welcome to Pantagon !
My favorite songs from them are "Runaway" , "Fantastyic" and "Critical Beauty" , I hope you could react to these at some point in your Pentagon journey. I adore these boys so much, thank you for the reaction Austin!
Wooooooo! Pentagon! If you love Seventeen, you’ll love Pentagon! They have their genius composer in Hui. Plus Hui and Jinho are my favorite power vocalists next to DK and Seungkwan. The “face” you were talking about is Kino who is a fabulous dancer, choreographer, and composer. Yuto is Kpop’s first Japanese rapper, I think. They are musically versatile and all have great personalities. If you REALLY want to be blown away, check out Jinho’s cover series Magazine Ho! The man can SING. His range is insane! Hope to see more Pentagon reactions from you!
I would recommend you reacting to: "Violet" - one of the members, Kino (he's the one you said that you feel like he's the face of the group in Feelin like) composed this song. It's really great and I have a fondness for it. "Basquiat" - Hui and Wooseok participated in composing this song for the survival show - Road to Kingdom, in which Pentagon took part in. "Dr Bebe" - alongside "Daisy" It's one of my favorite songs from them. "Do or not" - It was the latest comeback in which their leader, Hui, participated before enlisting. And I think that "Sha lala" is also worth listening to it.
22:23 he’s Yanan (the only Chinese member and he’s actually close with Junhao especially Jun). He’s a vocalist and visual. The rappers are Wooseok and Yuto (the tallest members).
I highly recommend their song Like This, it's their first self-produced title track and still one of their best, and also their song Spring Snow which is an alternative rock b-side but it's considered to be one of their representative songs and they've performed it live several times. I also recommend their newest album IN:VITE U that came out with Feelin' Like, all of the b-sides are self-produced and it's an amazing mini album.
A lot of change occurred in the style of Pentagon over the years but you'll always hear the "Pentagon sound" like, you know it's Pentagon. They're actually self-producing too, like seventeen! Hui and Wooseok write a lot of their songs and my favorite songs from Pentagon are b-sides written by Wooseok
The rapper you pointed out as having a unique tone was E'Dawn but he's already left the group and goes by the stage name Dawn now. He's actually Hyuna's fiancé
I'm also not too sure which song would be your favorite since Pentagon has so much versatility but if you want to see more of them I'd recommend you to watch Naughty Boy, Basquiat (their final song for Road to Kingdom), Violet, Dr. Bebe, and Do or Not which was the comeback before Feelin' Like. They've just got so many good songs there's also Critical Beauty, Like This, Runaway, and even Humph! or Eternal Flame which all have their own mvs. Their b-sides are also a gem some of their albums my favorite song is a b-side
so happy to see you're liking pentagon! they have really grown over the years and their sound has changed a lot. their music is definitely more mature now but they still do bright songs like their earlier music! the boys write most of their own music and their main dancer choreographs. I would love to see you react to these other songs: - Basquiat - Do or Not - Naughty Boy - Lovesick Boys on It's Live - Their performances on Road to Kingdom
So happy you got to Pentagon! The rapper you had pointed out (E’Dawn, now Dawn) sadly left the group but has solo content you can check out. Follow up recs: Dr Bebe (darker concept with leather and crop tops), Basquiat (released after their run on Road to Kingdom), Critical Beauty (samples Elvis’ Jailhouse Rock), Spring Snow (no official video for this song just a dance practice but the song is so fun with a rock-y vibe, one of my absolute favourite Pentagon songs and I will suggest it to anyone who will listen 🤣)
would love to see u react to their first self composed song called 'like this' as well as some of my favorites, eternal flame, spring snow, nostalgia, beautiful goodbye and all the bsides of their latest album, 'invite u'! :)) as someone who also stans exo, shinee, and seventeen, hopefully you also fall for pentagon the same way i did and get to know them more in the future, they're such a lovable group especially after knowing them and their story. 🤍
Well, Pentagon is THAT group that loves skinship. So you'll love to see their heartwarming contents. Just search Pentagon being Clingy and will melt and warm your heart 👍👍
🤣 Sir Austin. Haa! His voice (hongseok), ok Main vocalist (Yanan), ok also Main vocalist(jinho) 🤣🤣🤣 . Me. KIno Main vocalist, hui Main vocalist, Yeo One Main vocalist too. 😂 That's the Pentagon effect. All member are fabulous 👌 vocalists, rappers, Dancers
aaahhh I know you're not there yet but the content creator 'pentagu' on youtube has a lots of content out about the members you might want to check out on or off camera and a long but amazing guide to get to know the group! I have been watching you for a while and I am soooo excited about your ptg journey :')
Basquiat is a MUST if you want vocals. Hui (my ult bias) is one of the main composers and producers of the group. He is one of the main vocalists in the group along side Jinho. If you want to hear them two together, I recommend Someday (th-cam.com/video/uJaylZtdk_4/w-d-xo.html). This is a duo song from one of the albums and they performed it together on a show! Thanks!
The tallest one is actually the main rapper and the maknae while the two shortest members are the oldest and main vocalist(top tier) one of them is actually a vocal coach(Jinho the oldest)
Ahhhh yes!!!! The underrated kings 😭😭 these boys are so talented you’re defo in for a treat. You gotta check out Basquiat and their it’s live performances. Their latest album as well is defo top tierrrr. One thing to know is that these boys make their own music so it’s that much more fun to listen to :)
Also, we got to say that appart from their amazing songs, they have some of the best covers i've listened in kpop (them and gaho are my fav covers ever) in the "it's live" channel. My fav will always be "lovesick boys" from blackpink's song lovesick girls, they did too a rock version of itzy's "not shy", and they recently did an amazing cover on aespa's "savage"
omg as a universe AND a moa (fandoms) i think pentagon and recent TXT are some of my favorite examples of rock influences in pop music (i also love day6 and the rose, but k-bands have structurally different songs than pop groups doing rock-themes with their songs) so if i could recommend some more songs for this rock-phase you're going through! pentagon have "do or not" and txt have "loser=lover and "i know i love you" if you're interested!
wow i'm so glad to see you discovering pentagon!! unfortunalely for the last year or two i haven't been able to follow their relises as much as i used to, but your video unspired me to slowly catch up on everything i've missed ♥
thankyou for your reaction, i know you cant choose bcs they produce so many genre, pentagon so unpreciated they hv great vocal, visual, good dance too. They talented group. i hv some recomend if you want hear their vocal the song are Basquiat, dr.bebe, like this or when they invited in its live they cover some group like love sick girl (blackpink), savage (aespa), not shy (itzy) or their own song. Or they have song mix opera and rock influence in their latest album the name is the game many reactor like it like never heard before on kpop. Cant wait to see your next pentagon reaction😊.
I've been away for a little bit but I'm back so excited you're checking out Pentagon! I hope u react to their vocal covers especially jinho's Gethsemane cover from a musical their vocal skills are fantastic! 😍 I love to hear your pro comments on amazing vocals
pentagon started off as 10 but dawn was kicked out by cube in 2018 so they're 9 now. their debut song is gorilla but after that they really started producing and composing their own songs, hui is their leader and he produces their songs mainly. he is currently enlisted but he comes back this year i believe. pentagon is like seventeen, very chaotic and very loud but very talented as well. my personal favorites are like this, runaway, dr bebe. there are many useful guides that you can also check out if you are interested in getting to know them more.
I know if my necessarily be the most like expected answers to request for pentagon but I honestly really liked their debut gorilla and I also love their song naughty boy I don’t know why it just it’s not even boy is the song that just makes me really happy and it makes me feel hurt it really does it’s a really super sweet song especially if you understand like the Korean idioms a lot more better if you just look into into it and I don’t know I just love pentagon so much I love them so so much thank you 1 million times over for getting into him you will not regret stanning them at all.
Pentagon is THE most complicated group to "react to" or even get into them at first, cause every mv has a different number of members and their concepts are really diverse too i personally prefer their cuter side, like "Shine", "Humph!", "Naughty Boy" and "Do or Not"
so glad you reacted to them! if you wanna see even more powerful songs I suggest Basquiat or Dr. Bebe! The guy with the interesting voice is Dawn, he left the group after some controversy and is currently under PSY label, PNation! In the last song Hui is missing cause he is currently enlisting! Hui, Jinho and Wooseok produced most of the songs for the group, besides being the main vocalists! Also Jinho is sort of like a legend in the industry, used to be in SM as a trainee but he left despite being one of the very best in the company and besides his work with the group he also vocal coaches trainees in the company he's currently, and he also has an INCREDIBLE youtube playlist called MagazineHo where he posts covers of famous songs both from musicals and by famous artists! I definitely recommend it to see his true vocal ability!
Oh my god I didn’t even watch the video yet but I freaked out when I saw that you were reacting to them thanks!!! What I would absolutely recommend is their special flower live performance at jarasum where they sing a couple of their daisy album song acoustic, spring snow, eternal flame a song they wrote for unis (the fandom) from messages we sent them we’re even listed in the credits Those songs are beautiful you’d like them!!
I have been waiting for this moment for so long! I adore your videos, and from time to time I always tend to request Pentagon. The deal with them is the following: they basically have two different sides of them throughout their career, they didn't necessarily start with only cute songs and evolved into darker songs, they've always done both. They self-produce and really like to play with different styles. The fun, lighthearted and cute: songs like shine, humph!, naughty boy, do or not The darker and more mature side: songs like daisy, feeling like, basquiat, dr. bebe I would recommend checking out basquiat, sha la la, dr. bebe, and do or not. Also, my super recommendation is to check out some of their covers on It's Live, their live vocals are impeccable. The one for Aespa's Savage is incredible. One of the main vocalists, Jinho, puts out monthly covers where he really showcases how incredible he is. One of the most famous is a cover of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar. About the members, the rapper with the unique voice left the group in 2018. He's a soloist under the name Dawn now. The other occasional absences from MVs are related to military enlistments or health issues, there is a big age gap in this group (members range from 1992-1998). Thanks for the video!
Happy to see you reacting to some Pentagon! Given that you loved 'Daisy' and appreciate the vocals, I would suggest you check out the acoustic version. They have amazing vocalists and lots of overall talent in this group.
what a surprise! daisy is my absolute favorite kpop song of all time and i don’t even stan the group 100%, their music is just so so good to me + their leader produces basically everything (he also produces for others groups too, our king hui)
god i am so ha`ppy you finally discovered them, you will not regrett it and will gladly join the fandom (universe). I will love to recommend their b sides also, but i know their best stuff is their title tracks: ShaLaLa, Dr. Bebe, Humph, and Do or Not. You should also listen to Basquiat (a song that was made for the final round of road to kingdom, the show the boyz won) You should also know that they produce and make their songs as well, so they're not talented only for their performance and vocals. I will allow myself to make a short list of other songs and b sides in case you want recomendations for future videos (i will wait for them): - one shot (rock vibes) - the game (they even put some opera in the song, it is beyond incredible) - Runaway (older stuff, but its still great) - Baby i love you (from their "do or not" comeback, it's just them being bf material in pastel tones suits and singing a soft song to make you smile... there stages are simply the best) - spring snow (personally my favourite ptg song... it has this pop-rock band style that is just awesome, and i love how the members look so happy when they perform it) - fantasystic (the ultimate summer song) - Bpy in time (by Hui, the leader, released in the last comeback he was in before going to the military service. If you listen to it prepare yourself to cry hard and for it to break your soul. His vocals have no price) - naughty boy (another fun song like shine, they're just masters with this concepts)
Pentagon deserves so much more recognition than they've gotten--I feel like they're one of those groups that other groups respect but don't get as much attention from the public as others. They are so freakin' talented and such genuine, hardworking guys. No matter which groups you stan, everyone could use more Pentagon in their lives.
even though I'm not standing them.. Jinho is one my favorite vocalist in KPop, I really love his vocal tone and vocal range. But Even though he's not in the "Daisy" MV because he's in the military, it's still one of the Pentagon's songs that I like the most.
OMG! The one you said was standing out to you in Shine with the Gucci and the goggles on his head that my baby Kino! He sings, raps, can dance his butt off and he also composes, writes and does some choreo for Pentagon he is truly an underrated Ace!!!
you can also react to their live band covers on lovesick girls (blackpink) not shy (itzy) and savage (aespa) and their main vocals jinho cover on bohemian rhapsody and gethsemane
you've finally reacted to pentagon yay! i have been subscribed to your channel for a while and was waiting. i hope you can check out DO or NOT, Basquiat, Naughty Boy and some bsides like The Game too. i honestly love the Genie:us and UNIVERSE: The Black Hall albums, but ALL their releases are impeccable so it's hard to pick a favorite. know that this group self-produces/self-composes and is heavily involved in the creative process of their comebacks! i hope to see more pentagon reactions here, i think you'd love how skilled and unique their vocal line is across all generations. ptg also have a lot of rock influenced tracks, like Spring Snow, One Shot, etc. their music is so versatile you'll definitely grow to love them. btw it is not 10 members anymore, it is 9. as of right now, hui and hongseok are serving in the military. jinho was not in daisy and hui was not in feelin' like!
That one high perfect run on feeling like was our oldest Jinho, he is amazing (i feel like you'll be amazed by his getsemanhe cover) and he also vocal coachs at cube
you HAVE to live to basquiat by them, like you *HAVE* to. the vocals in there are absolutely INSANE. you HAAAAAAAAVE to! jinho (the main vocalist) is the best male vocalist PERIODDD.
10000% agree
He was a vocal coach right 😩
Yeeesss please :)
I agree that Jinho is a reeeeally good vocalist, I might just be a bit biased by Hui and his fantastic vocals! However, all in pentagon can sing! Period!
@@leadan5458 He is still a vocal coach. He is still teaching cube trainee from time to time.
I recommend Runaway, ShaLaLa, Dr BeBe and Basquiat. Basquiat and Dr BeBe are a must.
You should probably check one of their vocal compilations. They are honestly amazing.
I second all of these!
Yes!!!
Definitively!
The girl in pretty pretty is Chungha
The rapper with the unique tune is Dawn he isn’t a part of pentagon anymore but is a soloist
Hui was doing military during feelin like
Pentagon self produced songs have a lot of rock elements. Basquiat especially with the guitar riff & leader Hui's vocal is phenomenal.
The recent album B-sides are amazing. One Shot has rock elements, The Game is opera + rock. They're just so amazing and I can't brag abt them enough!
omg yes, the rock elements on their songs is one of the main reasons i became obsessed with their music! they just pull it off sooo well it's insane.
@@soiaonui same! i wasnt stanning any grp for a long time coz their music doesnt resonate with me since i love rock. But their Road to Kingdom Very Good stage was right up my alley! Ive been obsessed since!
Pentagon is so underrated like they deserve so much more recognition than they get
They actually have variety of pop rock songs because of Hui (Leader, Main vocalist, Lead dancer, Rapper)
He loves rock, thats why when he is producing their songs, most of them sound like a pop rock
The rapper with "different" voice is Dawn, he left Pentagon and you may recognize him by (Hyuna and Dawn: Ping pong). I love everything about Pentagon: They are funny/caotic as NCT and SVT, they are sexy as Monsta X and they produce their own songs like SVT 😍. If you liked more "Daisy" and "Feelin like" check "Dr bebe" and "Sha la la" 😁 "Do or not" is more kind cute pentagon
P.S.: They are VERY TALL and 6 packs guys kkkkk
The post scriptum got me! XD
@@nifelicio7752 kkkkkkkkk xD
daisy is an absolute masterpiece. from melody, to lyrics, to mv, to choreo. just pure perfection! hui did so well with this song i can't praise him enough for being such an amazing composer. pentagon as whole are filled with such aces doing everything from writing their own lyrics to choreographies to even doing acting in dramas. theyre all so great i love them lol.
Sir! You should probably know that Kino from Pentagon is best friends with Vernon! And Jun and Minghao were on a Chinese show with Yanan from Pentagon and they're good friends too ❤️
despite pentagon having a more mature sound they always come back to their brighter concepts, before they released 'feelin like', one of their latest bright cbs are 'do or not' and 'humph', i would also like to recommend 'naughty boy' and their japanese release called 'happiness' too!
Oh, and Cosmos, please! My favorite title of them in japanese; and then there is Seasons... ; v ;
I love Happiness!

Omg omg omg!!!! Pentagon!!! I can't tell you how happy I am to see you react to them! I love these boys so much!!
"'We grew up, we lost our clothing and we turn into like a rock band?" LOL EXACTLY!!! xD Thanks for finally reacting to PENTAGON!
GOD DAMN pentagon why they are all sexiest men in the world 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

I think it will be hard to pin down a fave era just because they bounce around so many genres each album… their titles switch up between mature/sexy/dark and innocent/fresh/fun almost every release…

Jinho, Hui & Hongseok have already enlisted (Jinho is back now), Dawn (formerly E’Dawn) left the group & Cube in 2018 but is now in PNation, Dawn, Hui & HyunA had a trio under Cube before Dawn & HyunA left called Triple H (I miss them so much but I’m happy everyone’s happy ;-;)… Jinho was part of SM BALLAD actually!

One of their main vocals (they have 3), Jinho actually debuted back in 2010 in the first SM THE BALLAD unit alongside the likes of SHINee’s Jonghyun and SuJu’s Kyuhyun.
Shine was a bit of a viral hit but didn't get them any wins. Daisy was their first win. I don't even think it's completely them being slept on, but also a lot of bad timing, they always have comebacks when the big names do and so keep getting eclipsed, but they finally started getting the recognition they deserve after being on Road to Kingdom
Some other favorites of mine would be:
Can You Feel It
Do or Not
Naughty Boy
Critical Beauty
I am so glad you are getting into Pantagon!!! They are underratted and deserve so much more ! All their title tracks are bangers.
Dr Bebe is probably my fav but I do recommend Shalala, Runway, Can you feel it and Basquiat.
Welcome to Pantagon !
My favorite songs from them are "Runaway" , "Fantastyic" and "Critical Beauty" , I hope you could react to these at some point in your Pentagon journey. I adore these boys so much, thank you for the reaction Austin!
Wooooooo! Pentagon! If you love Seventeen, you’ll love Pentagon! They have their genius composer in Hui. Plus Hui and Jinho are my favorite power vocalists next to DK and Seungkwan. The “face” you were talking about is Kino who is a fabulous dancer, choreographer, and composer. Yuto is Kpop’s first Japanese rapper, I think. They are musically versatile and all have great personalities. If you REALLY want to be blown away, check out Jinho’s cover series Magazine Ho! The man can SING. His range is insane! Hope to see more Pentagon reactions from you!
I would recommend you reacting to:
"Violet" - one of the members, Kino (he's the one you said that you feel like he's the face of the group in Feelin like) composed this song. It's really great and I have a fondness for it.
"Basquiat" - Hui and Wooseok participated in composing this song for the survival show - Road to Kingdom, in which Pentagon took part in.
"Dr Bebe" - alongside "Daisy" It's one of my favorite songs from them.
"Do or not" - It was the latest comeback in which their leader, Hui, participated before enlisting.
And I think that "Sha lala" is also worth listening to it.
I'm so happy you decided to react to Pentagon. Being a Universe has made my life 1000 times better.
Omg I'd LOVE to see a Pentagon week or something! Been obsessed with your mx week, I thought it was so fun!
The thing is that Pentagon can literally make every kind of genre, they are really versatile and amazing. Can't wait for more reactions from you
This is also a self-producing group so it would be great if u keep checking their songs
Hui has one of my fav voices in the industry, he’s just so effortless when he sings🤩
Oh nooo I'm not ready. I love Pentagon! I have such a soft spot for them. Boys have been through so much - what an amazing group!
22:23 he’s Yanan (the only Chinese member and he’s actually close with Junhao especially Jun). He’s a vocalist and visual. The rappers are Wooseok and Yuto (the tallest members).
Listen to basquiat, Hui’s vocals there were amazing
YESSSSSS
I highly recommend their song Like This, it's their first self-produced title track and still one of their best, and also their song Spring Snow which is an alternative rock b-side but it's considered to be one of their representative songs and they've performed it live several times. I also recommend their newest album IN:VITE U that came out with Feelin' Like, all of the b-sides are self-produced and it's an amazing mini album.
A lot of change occurred in the style of Pentagon over the years but you'll always hear the "Pentagon sound" like, you know it's Pentagon. They're actually self-producing too, like seventeen! Hui and Wooseok write a lot of their songs and my favorite songs from Pentagon are b-sides written by Wooseok
The rapper you pointed out as having a unique tone was E'Dawn but he's already left the group and goes by the stage name Dawn now. He's actually Hyuna's fiancé
The tall rapper in shine is Wooseok who coincidentally is their maknae and tallest member of the group. The other rapper is Yuto and yes he's japanese
I'm also not too sure which song would be your favorite since Pentagon has so much versatility but if you want to see more of them I'd recommend you to watch Naughty Boy, Basquiat (their final song for Road to Kingdom), Violet, Dr. Bebe, and Do or Not which was the comeback before Feelin' Like. They've just got so many good songs there's also Critical Beauty, Like This, Runaway, and even Humph! or Eternal Flame which all have their own mvs. Their b-sides are also a gem some of their albums my favorite song is a b-side
Oh what a nice surprise, my ult group is finally on your radar Sir Austin
so happy to see you're liking pentagon! they have really grown over the years and their sound has changed a lot. their music is definitely more mature now but they still do bright songs like their earlier music! the boys write most of their own music and their main dancer choreographs. I would love to see you react to these other songs:
- Basquiat
- Do or Not
- Naughty Boy
- Lovesick Boys on It's Live
- Their performances on Road to Kingdom
I think you should check out "Magazine Ho", basically Jinho covering songs and blessing us with his vocals
shine really isn't iconic only to pentagon but for all of kpop really shine is THAT girl
It’s often imitated, but never duplicated.
Pls react to Basquiat and Dr Bebe!
YES!!!
So happy you got to Pentagon! The rapper you had pointed out (E’Dawn, now Dawn) sadly left the group but has solo content you can check out.
Follow up recs: Dr Bebe (darker concept with leather and crop tops), Basquiat (released after their run on Road to Kingdom), Critical Beauty (samples Elvis’ Jailhouse Rock), Spring Snow (no official video for this song just a dance practice but the song is so fun with a rock-y vibe, one of my absolute favourite Pentagon songs and I will suggest it to anyone who will listen 🤣)
Pentagon's discography is insane
You'll definitely love this group
pentagon are the best!!!!!!!! if their music is high quality and unique their personalities will win you over these boys are amazing 💙
Please react to more Pentagon songs, they really are the best and deserves more love🥰🥰
would love to see u react to their first self composed song called 'like this' as well as some of my favorites, eternal flame, spring snow, nostalgia, beautiful goodbye and all the bsides of their latest album, 'invite u'! :)) as someone who also stans exo, shinee, and seventeen, hopefully you also fall for pentagon the same way i did and get to know them more in the future, they're such a lovable group especially after knowing them and their story. 🤍
Yes! "Like This" is a perfect Baby Pentagon song--so good and so catchy from so early on.
Well, Pentagon is THAT group that loves skinship. So you'll love to see their heartwarming contents. Just search Pentagon being Clingy and will melt and warm your heart 👍👍
Sometimes I search Pentagon Gay Moments also 😂
Hi. I recommend you Like this song, dr. Bebe, run away. Take for granted these songs are incredibles. I stand EXO but Pentagon is fascinating.
❤ your reaction
Daisy is theeeee song that started the rock/punk trend in kpop pentagon deserves so much more credit than they get for being ahead of the curve
🤣 Sir Austin. Haa! His voice (hongseok), ok Main vocalist (Yanan), ok also Main vocalist(jinho) 🤣🤣🤣 .
Me. KIno Main vocalist, hui Main vocalist, Yeo One Main vocalist too. 😂
That's the Pentagon effect. All member are fabulous 👌 vocalists, rappers, Dancers
aaahhh I know you're not there yet but the content creator 'pentagu' on youtube has a lots of content out about the members you might want to check out on or off camera and a long but amazing guide to get to know the group! I have been watching you for a while and I am soooo excited about your ptg journey :')
"the vocals are crazy" of course they would be, as expected from the dongsaengs of BTOB, they both are incredible and super chaotic, i love them sm
Pentagon is chock full of talent. Happy you enjoy them. Basquiat is a display of Hui’s vocal prowess. His high notes are amaaaaaazing.
Basquiat is a MUST if you want vocals. Hui (my ult bias) is one of the main composers and producers of the group. He is one of the main vocalists in the group along side Jinho. If you want to hear them two together, I recommend Someday (th-cam.com/video/uJaylZtdk_4/w-d-xo.html). This is a duo song from one of the albums and they performed it together on a show! Thanks!
The tallest one is actually the main rapper and the maknae while the two shortest members are the oldest and main vocalist(top tier) one of them is actually a vocal coach(Jinho the oldest)
OMG I SCREAMED SO HARD!!!! i was waiting for you to react to them for the longest timeeee
Ahhhh yes!!!! The underrated kings 😭😭 these boys are so talented you’re defo in for a treat. You gotta check out Basquiat and their it’s live performances. Their latest album as well is defo top tierrrr. One thing to know is that these boys make their own music so it’s that much more fun to listen to :)
OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TYSM FOR REACTING TO THEM! hoping to see more pentagon reactions from you in the future. 🥺
Also, we got to say that appart from their amazing songs, they have some of the best covers i've listened in kpop (them and gaho are my fav covers ever) in the "it's live" channel. My fav will always be "lovesick boys" from blackpink's song lovesick girls, they did too a rock version of itzy's "not shy", and they recently did an amazing cover on aespa's "savage"
You should check out their acapella videos!
daisy was one of the best kpop songs released in 2020, the vocals, the rock sound, the VIBES. we love her
omg as a universe AND a moa (fandoms) i think pentagon and recent TXT are some of my favorite examples of rock influences in pop music (i also love day6 and the rose, but k-bands have structurally different songs than pop groups doing rock-themes with their songs) so if i could recommend some more songs for this rock-phase you're going through! pentagon have "do or not" and txt have "loser=lover
and "i know i love you" if you're interested!
Yes Pentagon! They are amazing, regardless of which song you pick, so I hope you enjoy their music ^^
wow i'm so glad to see you discovering pentagon!! unfortunalely for the last year or two i haven't been able to follow their relises as much as i used to, but your video unspired me to slowly catch up on everything i've missed ♥
Yeah!!!!!!Yeah!!!!!!Yeah!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you!! Pentagon is Soooo underrated!
Hui is phenomenal 😍
"Oh is he the tallest one too? Oh no." Watching the process of falling in love with Wooseok in real time. Dont worry, we've all been through it.
Daisy is a masterpiece, react to Runaway, gorilla, critical beauty and violet PLSSS🖤🖤
thankyou for your reaction, i know you cant choose bcs they produce so many genre, pentagon so unpreciated they hv great vocal, visual, good dance too. They talented group. i hv some recomend if you want hear their vocal the song are Basquiat, dr.bebe, like this or when they invited in its live they cover some group like love sick girl (blackpink), savage (aespa), not shy (itzy) or their own song. Or they have song mix opera and rock influence in their latest album the name is the game many reactor like it like never heard before on kpop. Cant wait to see your next pentagon reaction😊.
I've been away for a little bit but I'm back so excited you're checking out Pentagon! I hope u react to their vocal covers especially jinho's Gethsemane cover from a musical their vocal skills are fantastic! 😍 I love to hear your pro comments on amazing vocals
My favorite songs and the ones I recommend you react to are Dr.BeBe, Naughty boy, Critical Beauty, Runaway, Shalala and Do or not
pentagon started off as 10 but dawn was kicked out by cube in 2018 so they're 9 now. their debut song is gorilla but after that they really started producing and composing their own songs, hui is their leader and he produces their songs mainly. he is currently enlisted but he comes back this year i believe.
pentagon is like seventeen, very chaotic and very loud but very talented as well. my personal favorites are like this, runaway, dr bebe. there are many useful guides that you can also check out if you are interested in getting to know them more.
I know if my necessarily be the most like expected answers to request for pentagon but I honestly really liked their debut gorilla and I also love their song naughty boy I don’t know why it just it’s not even boy is the song that just makes me really happy and it makes me feel hurt it really does it’s a really super sweet song especially if you understand like the Korean idioms a lot more better if you just look into into it and I don’t know I just love pentagon so much I love them so so much thank you 1 million times over for getting into him you will not regret stanning them at all.
Pentagon is THE most complicated group to "react to" or even get into them at first, cause every mv has a different number of members and their concepts are really diverse too
i personally prefer their cuter side, like "Shine", "Humph!", "Naughty Boy" and "Do or Not"
so glad you reacted to them! if you wanna see even more powerful songs I suggest Basquiat or Dr. Bebe!
The guy with the interesting voice is Dawn, he left the group after some controversy and is currently under PSY label, PNation!
In the last song Hui is missing cause he is currently enlisting! Hui, Jinho and Wooseok produced most of the songs for the group, besides being the main vocalists! Also Jinho is sort of like a legend in the industry, used to be in SM as a trainee but he left despite being one of the very best in the company and besides his work with the group he also vocal coaches trainees in the company he's currently, and he also has an INCREDIBLE youtube playlist called MagazineHo where he posts covers of famous songs both from musicals and by famous artists! I definitely recommend it to see his true vocal ability!
Oh my, Pentagon reaction!! I'm so happy to see it. Haven't watched yet but I'm sure I'll enjoy it
Oh my god I didn’t even watch the video yet but I freaked out when I saw that you were reacting to them thanks!!!
What I would absolutely recommend is their special flower live performance at jarasum where they sing a couple of their daisy album song acoustic, spring snow, eternal flame a song they wrote for unis (the fandom) from messages we sent them we’re even listed in the credits
Those songs are beautiful you’d like them!!
Awww yeahh, one of my fav groups. 😍😍 thanks for checking them out, sir Austin!
I have been waiting for this moment for so long! I adore your videos, and from time to time I always tend to request Pentagon.
The deal with them is the following: they basically have two different sides of them throughout their career, they didn't necessarily start with only cute songs and evolved into darker songs, they've always done both. They self-produce and really like to play with different styles.
The fun, lighthearted and cute: songs like shine, humph!, naughty boy, do or not
The darker and more mature side: songs like daisy, feeling like, basquiat, dr. bebe
I would recommend checking out basquiat, sha la la, dr. bebe, and do or not.
Also, my super recommendation is to check out some of their covers on It's Live, their live vocals are impeccable. The one for Aespa's Savage is incredible. One of the main vocalists, Jinho, puts out monthly covers where he really showcases how incredible he is. One of the most famous is a cover of Gethsemane from Jesus Christ Superstar.
About the members, the rapper with the unique voice left the group in 2018. He's a soloist under the name Dawn now. The other occasional absences from MVs are related to military enlistments or health issues, there is a big age gap in this group (members range from 1992-1998).
Thanks for the video!
Happy to see you reacting to some Pentagon! Given that you loved 'Daisy' and appreciate the vocals, I would suggest you check out the acoustic version. They have amazing vocalists and lots of overall talent in this group.
Out of their title tracks with mvs I think you're gonna really like: Can you feel it, Critical Beauty, Like This, Humph and Do or Not.
I'm not standing them, but I know very well that they have amazing vocals..
omg pentagon ❤️❤️😍😍 I love them so much❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍 Hui is my bias 💕
Omg yay! Thank you for checking them out. I’m always here for Pentagon getting more recognition because the deserve it
Please react to "Do or not" and basquiat by them too
what a surprise! daisy is my absolute favorite kpop song of all time and i don’t even stan the group 100%, their music is just so so good to me + their leader produces basically everything (he also produces for others groups too, our king hui)
god i am so ha`ppy you finally discovered them, you will not regrett it and will gladly join the fandom (universe). I will love to recommend their b sides also, but i know their best stuff is their title tracks: ShaLaLa, Dr. Bebe, Humph, and Do or Not. You should also listen to Basquiat (a song that was made for the final round of road to kingdom, the show the boyz won)
You should also know that they produce and make their songs as well, so they're not talented only for their performance and vocals.
I will allow myself to make a short list of other songs and b sides in case you want recomendations for future videos (i will wait for them):
- one shot (rock vibes)
- the game (they even put some opera in the song, it is beyond incredible)
- Runaway (older stuff, but its still great)
- Baby i love you (from their "do or not" comeback, it's just them being bf material in pastel tones suits and singing a soft song to make you smile... there stages are simply the best)
- spring snow (personally my favourite ptg song... it has this pop-rock band style that is just awesome, and i love how the members look so happy when they perform it)
- fantasystic (the ultimate summer song)
- Bpy in time (by Hui, the leader, released in the last comeback he was in before going to the military service. If you listen to it prepare yourself to cry hard and for it to break your soul. His vocals have no price)
- naughty boy (another fun song like shine, they're just masters with this concepts)
Pentagon deserves so much more recognition than they've gotten--I feel like they're one of those groups that other groups respect but don't get as much attention from the public as others. They are so freakin' talented and such genuine, hardworking guys. No matter which groups you stan, everyone could use more Pentagon in their lives.
Finally!!!!!!! Been waiting for you to listen to them. Please listen to more of them 🙏
Yaaaayyyy pentagon, ty for checking them out i really love their songs !!
YAAAAY FINALLYYYY!!!!!
21:32 jinho reminds me of kyungsoo (because of excellent vocals) they're both my ults 💖 so happy and excited for your pentagon journey!
even though I'm not standing them.. Jinho is one my favorite vocalist in KPop, I really love his vocal tone and vocal range. But Even though he's not in the "Daisy" MV because he's in the military, it's still one of the Pentagon's songs that I like the most.
OMG! The one you said was standing out to you in Shine with the Gucci and the goggles on his head that my baby Kino! He sings, raps, can dance his butt off and he also composes, writes and does some choreo for Pentagon he is truly an underrated Ace!!!
thank you for reacting to them, waiting for many more reactions from you ☺️
you can also react to their live band covers on lovesick girls (blackpink) not shy (itzy) and savage (aespa) and their main vocals jinho cover on bohemian rhapsody and gethsemane
you've finally reacted to pentagon yay! i have been subscribed to your channel for a while and was waiting. i hope you can check out DO or NOT, Basquiat, Naughty Boy and some bsides like The Game too. i honestly love the Genie:us and UNIVERSE: The Black Hall albums, but ALL their releases are impeccable so it's hard to pick a favorite. know that this group self-produces/self-composes and is heavily involved in the creative process of their comebacks! i hope to see more pentagon reactions here, i think you'd love how skilled and unique their vocal line is across all generations.
ptg also have a lot of rock influenced tracks, like Spring Snow, One Shot, etc. their music is so versatile you'll definitely grow to love them.
btw it is not 10 members anymore, it is 9. as of right now, hui and hongseok are serving in the military. jinho was not in daisy and hui was not in feelin' like!
Shine is my first kpop song and remains one.of.my favorites years later. Pentagon is truly special to me.
OMG PENTAGON YES! 💯
That one high perfect run on feeling like was our oldest Jinho, he is amazing (i feel like you'll be amazed by his getsemanhe cover) and he also vocal coachs at cube
Gethsemane is a must watch!
