During the weekend I saw Pentagon's video (minus Jinho) in which they were doing part switch dance for Runaway and I got intrigued to know them better. I think they are a very solid group with talented kids, coming from an agency with big names under their belt, plus they were in a televised survival show before debut so I wonder why they aren't bigger than they currently are. Yes, they are a young group of just a little over one year old, but they are GOOD!

I wrote before that I was intrigued by weird kid E'dawn who now has even more tattoos, but after this part switch video I was intrigued by other members! Especially Yanan because that kid is so beautiful. I watched the clip of him being forced to go on amusement park rides even though he is really scared of them. Poor kid. He's so tall!! He looks really good with light colored hair. I watched a glimpse of Pentagon's VLive where they were watching something, it was so boring and I had no idea what was going on. The only thing I noticed was Yanan was crying and he was cute.

I saw a clip of Kino teaching dance moves to Yuto, he's such a good teacher, very articulate and talkative, too. I've watched this before, but Yuto was paired with NCT Yuta to do MC for a K-Pop show in Japan. It's only natural since they are Japanese member of their respective group. I'm so IN for Yuta & Yuto ship because WHY THE HELL NOT, that's such a cute ship name. Please let them be together again. Though Yuta seems too bubbly for Yuto, IDK how they are feeling towards each other in real life.

Other kids I'm intrigued by is, Wooseok. OMG maknae is so tall! I want the towers of K-Pops to be together for a special performance, please. Invited members are only those whose height exceeds 185 cm. Wooseok 188, Rowoon 189, Zelo 187, Yanan 186, Mingyu 186, etc. Because why the hell not. He was also doing so good in the part switch challenge unlike Yanan who was mostly confused the whole time.

I think Hui is very talented and Jinho has great vocal. I also like the other kids, Yeo One, Shinwon, they're cute. These kids had achievements even before debut and many of them are involved in producing/composing/writing the songs. I feel like other than Monsta X, Pentagon is the group I trust will have music that I enjoy in any of their releases.

Fun Fact : Pentagon has 3 members born in January 1998 including the maknae.
(Stray Kids has 3 members born in September 2000)

Pentagon (Demo_02) - Runaway is not as smashing as I thought it would be. My expectations are always shattered by the time a song came out because I get too hyped by teasers. EVERYTHING looks/sounds/appears better in teasers. It's like every time a teaser came out my imagination built the most perfect song ever that fits my taste. Anyway, I still like it. Out of the demo, I purchased Runaway, Violet, and All Right. Pretty Boys is too annoying for me so I can't, lol. And the other one is a ballad so, bye.

Wanna One (Nothing without You) - Their title track is a ballad so it's a solid NO for me. I also tried to listen to other tracks in their album and nothing sticks so ... *shrugs*.

BTS (Mic Drop Remix) - Again, I got super hyped by the teaser and it turned out not living up to my expectation? I don't know what I was expecting, but something better than this for sure. As an entitled fan, I also kept hoping they were going to release something else, lol. The MV version was... alright, I guess. The beat ended up sounding a little too monotonous throughout the whole song. The version featuring Desiigner is much better. Still not sure about their English lyrics though. I don't think they should do it again. *pulls up a megaphone* Stay in your lane, kids, stay in your lane. Anyway, the MV is super cool and EVERYONE looks SO good this Mic Drop era. I love the outfits and the styling! Btw I'm eating my own words and pre-ordered the Japanese release of Mic Drop (CD + DVD A ver.). This is to somewhat justify my future actions if I ever encounter any of the songs or videos being uploaded to online platforms like YouTube and decide to watch it.

Oh also I wanted to read the interview so bad I bought Non-no (again).


Next release I'm excited about is BAP because from the concept photos it looked like it's going to be a banger 8D I hope it's good.
