In this article, we’re going to find out Pentagon’s best friends, Jinho and Hongseok’s, moments together. Let’s scroll down and check out the article below!
Ex-Trainees From Big Company
Hongseok and Jinho of PENTAGON shared how they ended up at Cube Entertainment. The members of Pentagon revealed the reason during their debut showcase, where they talked about their debut song Gorilla. During the event, Jinho and Hongseok talked about their decision to leave SM and YG Entertainment. Jinho shared his reasons, “I became a trainee for 6 years in SM, which is the best company. But in the end they had a different way of thinking, so I came out well. Then I got a call from Cube and got a chance to audition.” Jinho’s experience at SM the Ballad in 2010 made some fans believe that he would debut as one of the members of EXO. But, in fact, of the 12 members who debuted as EXO, there was no Jinho, even though he was touted as one of the strong candidates. Even now, netizens are still wondering why Jinho did not debut with EXO, even though he, himself, had revealed that the reason he left SM Entertainment was because of differences in perspective. Nevertheless, some netizens suspect that he was not suited with EXO’s image, and his position was filled with another trainee. “I admire him because of his beautiful voice. I’m waiting for his debut and I think he will debut in SM. Too bad,” commented netizens. “If he wants to be a little patient, wait for him to be able to debut at the Big 3 agency as a member of NCT but that’s his choice,” said another netter. “I heard he didn’t debut because the type of voice is the same as one of EXO’s vocalists and his image doesn’t match. I support you!” added another. Hongseok also revealed his reasons and said, “I was previously part of the iKON “Mix and Match” event, where I was eliminated. Even then, I didn’t consider being too young for an idol. So I lag behind, and I feel too old to debut as an idol. WINNER has debuted and iKON was the same, while I was afraid to wait for my turn to debut under the agency. He continued, “I went out and looked for my own team and music. When I found the music I wanted to do, I left the company and ended up meeting Cube when I was looking for another agency. Then the PD from Cube explained about the team called ‘Pentagon’ and I felt they were perfect, so I talked to them that I would join and settle in the Cube Entertainment.”
