3 person chemistry

Yuto, Kino, Wooseok (Maknae, Yuki, 98s, Mayonnaise) : The youngest born in 1998 at the Pentagon, Yuto-Kino and Kino-Wooseok have 4 days difference in their birthdays. They are also called Yuuki by adding Kino's height to Milk, which represents Yuto and Wooseok, and they are said to be good friends. In the Pentagon's official YouTube program, "Maknae's Interfering Point," the youngest was pronounced as mayonnaise, resulting in a new unit name called Mayonnaise.
Hui, Shinwon, and Kino (Fooshinki) : There is content on YouTube and VApp official videos about the three of them going on a healing journey. In the past, he often appeared on Kino's solo VLIVE, and although he always teases and enjoys Kino, he can often be seen caring for and petting him, such as always thinking and talking with Kino as the center.
Shinwon, Yanan, and Wooseok (Woo Xinyan, Models) : Members in their 180s, the team name was Models when they played a game in the Heyo TV program 'Pentagon's Private Life' at the beginning of their debut. They are also called Xinyan Wu because the three of them have good chemistry during V Live.
Hui, Shinwon, and Wooseok (Shin 1 Who 2 Woo 3) : It is a combination name derived from Shin 1 Who 2 and Wooseok’s Seok 3. It is said to be a combination of members who sing along in the Pentagon album.

Chemistry with 4 or more people
Jaktagon (Short skin size), Mootagon, Keun Tagon (tall height) : Jinho & Hui of Jaktagon around 170, Hongseok & Yeowon & Kino of Mootagon in the late 170's, Shinwon & Yanan & Yuto & Wooseok of Big Targon in the mid to late 180's Separated. Even though the members of Ambiguous Tagon are on the tall side, there are many tall members, so it became Ambiguous Tagon, they feel unfair about it, and when playing the game, they divide it into Zaktagon and Big Tagon.
Accommodation A, Accommodation B : There are Hui & Hongseok & Shinwon & Kino in Accommodation A, and Jinho & Yeowon & Yanan & Yuto & Wooseok in Accommodation B. The eldest brother Jinho and the youngest Kino changed dorms to take care of the younger siblings after dividing the dorms into older and younger siblings. The chemistry is very good. She sometimes does V apps with A hostels, and she always remains as a legend. Accommodation B seems to be quieter than Accommodation A, but there are many funny stories such as washing dishes.
Honey Jam Party, No Jam Party : Hui & Hongseok & Shinwon & Yan An & Wooseok from Honey Jam Party, Jinho & Yeo One & Yuto & Kino from No Jam Party. Before debuting, in the 'Pentagon Maker' program, teams were divided to play games, and members changed according to the members' sense of entertainment. Currently, most of them have a sense of entertainment, so it is a combination name that is not often used.
Jinho, Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon (Hyung Line) : Jinho (born 1992), Hui (born 1993), Hongseok (born 1994), and Shinwon (born 1995).
Yeo One, Yan An, Yuto, Kino, Wooseok (younger brother line) : This is the younger brother line of the Pentagon, consisting of life friends Yeo One and Yan An, born in 1996, and Yuto, Kino, and Wooseok born in 1998.

10. Digression

It is a multinational idol group consisting of 7 Koreans, 1 Japanese, and 1 Chinese .

A group that broke the tradition of Cube Entertainment in many ways. Cube's previous groups, BTOB and CLC, had the largest number of 7 members, but Pentagon debuted with 10 members, an increase of 3 members, and became the first group in Cube history to use a stage name. There were four members. Currently 3 people.

At the time of their debut, the average age was 20.2 years old, and all the members debuted at a fairly old age for a boy group without a re-debut experience.

Despite being a multi-member group, Kim, the most common surname among the entire population of Korea, does not exist, and all members have different surnames, such as Joe, Lee, Yang, Go, Yeo, Kang, and Jeong.

The members' pre -debut careers are very impressive, and in one group, there are a total of 5 trainees from YG, SM, and JYP 's three major agencies.

The year and order of joining Cube are as follows.
- Kino (13 years) ㅡ Hui (October 2013) ㅡ Yeo One (November 13) ㅡ Sinwon (January 14) ㅡ Wooseok (Summer 2014) ㅡ Jinho (end of 2014) ㅡ Yan An (February 2015) ) ㅡ Yuto (March 2015) ㅡ Hong Seok (mid 2015)
- It is said that Hui and Yeo-won joined the company with a difference of two weeks, and Yuto and Yanan with a difference of one month.

7 out of 9 members participate in writing lyrics and composing. In particular, leader Hui has excellent producing skills, and most of the title songs, as well as a number of b-side songs, and even other groups' songs, she writes and composes herself, and there are a number of b-side songs participated by Jinho, Kino, Yuto, Wooseok, and Shinwon. Yeo One posted several self-composed songs on the official YouTube channel, and Kino and Yuto are active in composing and writing lyrics, posting their works on their personal SoundCloud accounts. Hongseok and Yanan do not work separately, but all members have participated in writing and composing by putting their names on the lyrics and composition of round 1 and 2, in which all members participated.

There are a total of 4 workshops. Used by Hui & Wooseok / Shinwon & Kino / Yuto / Jinho respectively.
- Originally, Jinho & Kino used the same studio, but during Jinho's military service, Shinwon shared it, and after Jinho was discharged, a new studio was created and the studio mates changed.
- The scenery of each member's studio is very different. Hui's Liverpool soccer jersey is hanging in Hui & Wooseok's studio. In Shinwon & Kino's studio, there are several photos and paintings including Audrey Hepburn's paintings., In Yuto's studio, soundproofing boards are sparsely attached to the white walls, In Jinho 's studio, you can see a green blanket with a picture of a tiger covering the sofa.
- Yuto 's studio computer, which was created later, uses a program ( Logic Pro ) different from the program ( Cubase ) in other studios, so it is difficult for other members to use.

All members have no younger brothers.
The likes and dislikes of Mint Choco are as follows.
- Unfavorable - Jinho, Yeowon / Unfavorable - Hui
  Doesn't matter - Kino, Wooseok
  Geukho - Shinwon / Ho - Hongseok, Yanan, Yuto

Only Jinho and Hui eat sweet and sour pork Jinho is the only one who is a jjamppong fan.

Like a cube idol, he has a sense of entertainment. When watching VLIVE or behind-the-scenes videos, Wooseok, Shinwon, and Hui are very active.

The vocal skills of the members are generally good. In particular, the main vocals Jinho and Hui are vocalists with the ability to break away from idols, and the lead vocalists Hongseok and Yeowon are also very good. This is also revealed in < Love Rain >, a stage where the main vocalist is missing . The sub vocalists Yanan, Shinwon, and Kino each have distinct tones and are gradually improving their skills.
- At MIK Festival Paris, despite the absence of Jinho, Hui, and Hongseok, who were in charge of the treble part, the group performed the high-pitched part successfully and finished the stage successfully.

Overall, there are a lot of tears. While reading Rolling Paper, everyone except for his eldest hyung cried sadly, and Jinho also cried profusely at the debut showcase. In 2018, the scene became a sea of crying due to the video letters left by the parents of the youngest children at the birthday party V app .~~with universe~~, Jinho & Yeowon, the only ones who did not cry, served as the finishing touches.
- In particular, Hui, Kino, and Shinwon tend to cry a lot, but leader Hui really cries a lot when talking about the members. Kino also cried several times. In fact, we all cry a lot. After winning first place on music shows, on stage, behind the scenes, and at the early morning V-App commemorating the 1st place win, everyone cried so much that the next day everyone's eyes were swollen.

Most of them don't like alcohol, so they don't drink much during company dinners. Even with a sober mind, sincere conversations often come and go. As for honest conversation, you can see what kind of atmosphere is formed by watching the live performance on the first day of winning first place on a music broadcast.

All members can speak 3 languages. All members can communicate in Korean and English, and in addition to Yan An, who was born in China, there are Jin Ho, Hui, and Hong Seok who study in China, and Yeo One is also fluent in Chinese. In addition to Yuto, who was born in Japan, Shinwon, Kino, and Wooseok can also communicate in Japanese. especially~~final boss~~Hongseok has lived in the United States, China and Singapore and is very fluent in foreign languages. Jinho, who joined the army , said he planned to study Japanese and is working hard.

When Yanan gave each member a Chinese score based on foreigners, Kino 2 points, Yuto 1.5 points, Shinwon 3 points, Wooseok 2 points, Yeowon 5 points, Hui 7.5 points, Jinho 8.5 points, Hongseok 9 points out of 10. was

There are many members, so they live in separate A and B dorms. Accommodation A is Hui, Hongseok, Shinwon, Kinoro, and Accommodation B is Jinho, Yeowon, Yanan, Yuto, and Wooseok. In the Pentagon Maker broadcast, the eldest hyungs had a single room and the younger siblings had two rooms, but, Since the ban on access, I have moved to the dorm and have been using each room.
- Due to the nature of the members, Accommodation A has a noisy atmosphere for group play,~~Kino likes to be quiet, but is dragged around by his brothers.~~While they sometimes fight, in lodging B, they stay quiet in their rooms, and they say that they get angry rather than fight.~~especially Wooseok~~do. However, these quarrels tend not to become intense, such as apologizing in the middle of a fight or unraveling the next day.

~~Shin Won-ah, close your eyes~~ In Age of Youth 2, Jinho, Yeowon, Shinwon, Kino, Wooseok, and Yuto appeared as unknown idols, 'Asgard', along with actor Wooyeon Ahn.

4 members over 180It is a tall group with or. The average height of the members is 180.~~eldest brothers dog gain~~

Every time a new member came in, a ceremony was held at the dorm, but what was unusual was that the existing members showed off their talents. The reason was to suppress the initiative by saying, 'We are this kind of person'... However, Jinho sang so well at the audition that the members who watched in awe didn't report it. Members' first impressions of members

There is a parody of The reason I got down on my knees was to gain momentum in the official tree frog music video.

From the last Friday of 2019, December 27, 3:00 PM to December 28, around 4:30 AM, it was broadcast live on YouTube for more than 13 hours. This is the second within the agency after BTOB's Yook Sungjae.

Acrobatics were banned as a group . Shinwon, Yanan, and Wooseok couldn't because they were tall, Kino could but didn't, and Hongseok had experience in acrobatics but didn't. She was able to do hui, but she got dizzy after class and vomited. The only possible yeowon was that the teacher told her not to practice after she left, but she broke it and fell on her neck during practice and injured herself.

When asked who the member who listens the most is Hui, he answered that it is not a relationship where he listens to what he says. The members tend to communicate a lot, and if there is a problem, Jinho and Hui tend to sort it out. To the same question she received in episode 2 of season 3 of Idol League, she said yes but would not say anything.

Five of the members appeared as masked singers on the mystery music show, King of Mask Singer, but all of them had bad luck with Dae Jin. Hui vs. Son Seung- yeon, Jin- ho vs. Hae-na, Hong -seok vs. Kwon In-ha, Yeo-won vs. Son Tae-jin , Kino vs. Shin Yu -mi. Let alone becoming the singer, there is still not a single member who has gone to the defense of the singer and faced the singer. In the comments posted on the video of Pink Venom , Kino's elimination song, comments saying that if this bracket continues, it should be good, even went up on the bedrock.

Members tend to watch Pentagon videos that fans upload on YouTube very often. In particular, there is Shinwon, who said he watched Fan Tube until 5 am, and Hongseok, the king of search, who knows the news of many fans on social media besides YouTube . He has seen and mentioned the video many times during V App, and especially mentioned that he watched the video uploaded on the same day at dawn.~~Working on a video for my true singer~~

The order of difficulty of the choreography revealed by Shinwon is 1. Shintobuli / Gorilla, 2. Like This, 3. Basquiat, 4. Dr. it's bebe

On September 9, 2020, Kino recited Namu Wiki through V App and transmitted his own content live. From 30:30

At the end of the second quarter of 2021, the members started to open personal Instagram revisions, The opening order is Yeowon ㅡ Yuto ㅡ Hongseok ㅡ Jinho ㅡ Shinwon ㅡ Kino ㅡ Wooseok ㅡ Hui. As of 2022, all members except Chinese member Yan An have personal Instagram accounts.

Thanks to the members' real names (?), there is a bit of awareness among sports fans unintentionally. Hui's real name, Lee Hoi-taek, is the same name as a soccer player and coach who made a mark in the Korean soccer world, which is known to all soccer fans, and Jin-ho's real name, Cho Jin-ho, is a soccer manager who was praised as a great leader and a baseball coach . There are as many as two players with the same name. Even Hong-seok had the same name as basketball player Yang Hong-seok, so there was a positive effect that this team, in which 3 of the members had the same name as the sports star, was known in small ways among soccer fans, basketball fans, and baseball fans..~~Suddenly, the Pentagon has become a team that integrates the three ball games.~~Even more so because these four characters are not unknowns, but they are all well-known in each event. At the same time, in Namu Wiki, it adds to the annoyance and trouble of having to go through those sports stars once to enter the members' documents.~~Maybe if it was Universe, everyone would have already gone through the documents of those sports stars at least once, even if they didn't want to.~~
And to enter Yan'an 's documents, Yan'an city contents, Yuto 's Yuto soil contents, Kino 's cinemas and Kino's albums, Identity 's identity verification, identity unknown, etc. (...)~~Even Twitter searches are different. We support Universe's Search~~

On October 20, 2020, on The Show, they won their first music show 1st place after 1,472 days of debut with the title song 'Daisy' on their 10th mini album.
At 1 am on March 16, 2021, on the real-time Genie chart, the title song of the 11th mini album, 'DO or NOT', ranked first on the music chart for the first time since its debut.
On February 4, 2022, on Music Bank, the title song of the 12th mini album, 'Feelin' Like', took first place on the airwaves after 1,944 days of debut.
