Kino's style is definitely NOT different from Pentagon style, though one could argue that Pentagon is so multi-faceted that they don't have one distinct 'style'. Which, btw, is me hinting that you guys should do a deep dive into them. They are amazingly talented - they write and self-produce their songs, they are amazing dancers and visuals, and Hui (the leader) and Jino (the oldest one) have one of the most powerful voices I've seen in k-pop so far.
Now that Hui's gone for a bit you can definitely hear Kino's influence on Pentagon! Specially their latest album. I love hearing all the diversity they have!
Cube is definitely approaching Kino's debut cautiously. His album is a platform album. It's about the size of a card and has no disc in it. His extra merch is a pack of stickers. He didn't even get to promote at all of the music shows. Just M Countdown and that was it. I worry about the reception of this song and the impact it will have on him putting out more solo content - and I'm really tired of good songs from Pentagon members languishing away on SoundCloud. He should be recognized for this masterpiece, because he worked so hard on it, and it turned out so incredibly well. It really is a crime that more people don't know this song.
Thank you for reacting to my baby!! Pentagon on a whole is just underrated. I’m surprised at the views too. The song is incredible and the MV is stunning! The choreo??? 😭 *runs to go stream* P.S fun fact: Kino and Vernon are reallly close friends 🥰
I know that right, sadly still many kpop fans still doesn't discover kino or Pentagon. Maybe bcs they not from big agencies. And don't forget kpop is about Popularity. So I'm not surprised still many song or grup who still unappreciated. Thank you for your reaction this help Pentagon so much, so the others kpop fan who still don't know them can discover them bca your video. I hope Pentagon get what they deserve. One of the best kpop grup for me. If we talked about talent and music.
I listen to Kino's "Pose" paired with "Losing Game" (by Leo from Vixx), "Stupid O'clock" & "Chronograph" from Victon. Please react to Victon - another under-rated group.
Pentagon (and obviously Kino) is always underrated. :( It's so sad. You should react to more of their things, whether solos or not - I recommend Doctor BeBe.
