PENTAGON

Pentagon debuted in October 2016 as the third boy band under Cube Entertainment, following BEAST — also known as B2ST — and BTOB.

Pentagon debuted with a powerful, masculine and self-producing concept in 2016 with 10 members: Jinho, Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon, Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, Wooseok and E'Dawn. E'Dawn, now known as Dawn, quit the band in 2018 after revealing he was in a relationship with singer HyunA that year.

Seven of the nine members participate in either composing or writing the lyrics, making them worthy of the self-producing label.

The band is best known for its playful vibe with their TV appearances and their hits such as "Shine" (2018), "Naughty Boy" (2018) and "Daisy" (2020).
