Just over a year after their first time in Brazil, Pentagon again gave an interview to K4US and told us that they want to return to the country with an even bigger show. The group is preparing to hold the 2020 Pentagon Online Concert ‘We L: ve’ next sunday (29) and took the opportunity to tell us that they will show performances never seen by universes around the world.
During the interview, Hongseok talked about being able to connect with fans as far away as brazilians, while Yanan talked about their first victory on a weekly music show, as well his happiness in being back with the group and being able to promote again. The full interview you can find below.
“Daisy” is such a powerful song, both in its sonority as in its lyrics, and the Universes loved the music. With “Daisy” you won, on the second half of October, your first award on the weekly music show “The Show”. How do you guys describe this phase that the group is experiencing? Was there a moment in your lifes that you imagined being a huge success and being able to make a difference for a thousand people from countries that are so far away, as in the case of Brazil?
HONGSEOK: I hope we could have more UNIVERSE in Brazil. I really want to go to Brazil again and hold a concert and meet more UNIVERSE in another bigger venue in Brazil someday!
YANAN: I was so happy but sad. It broke my heart to think that PENTAGON and UNIVERSE struggled for four years. I didn’t expect to win 1st prize, but as we won, I thought I’d have to work harder.
Yanan has been away from the group’s activities for the past few months to take care of his health, and now “Daisy” was marked for being his awaited comeback. How is for Pentagon being able to promote again with Yanan? We would like to know, by Yanan himself, how it is to come back and show his love to the fans with this online concert after those months.
YANAN: I’m so sad that I was away from fans for the past year, but I’m really happy to be with them again. I always try to show UNIVERSE new aspects of me whenever I meet them, so please look forward to it! YANAN has unlimited possibilities!
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, you are not being able to meet with Universes by some months. You already promoted an online fan meeting and now are coming back with this online concert, so how it is to connect with Universes in such a difficult moment – we believed for everyone – although this meeting is digitally? Is it possible to ease stage longing or do you still miss the public’s face-to-face energy?
YEOONE: I really miss the offline concert where I can meet the fans face to face! But, I’m glad that I’m going to be able to meet UNIVERSE all over the world through the online concert and I’m really working hard to prepare it!
KINO: Of course I miss the offline concert and it’s more fun, but I’m trying to think positive because it’s uncontrolled situation. We’re trying to show the best aspects of online concert which we can’t show you offline.
A year ago, you guys came to Brazil for a concert. We could watch your performance really close and we felt Brazilian Universe’s energy. Which special memory you guys have of this concert in Brazil? Can we expect a new special meeting with Brazilian fans in a near future, even if it’s digitally?
SHINWON: The crazy excitement is the most memorable thing. When things get better, I’m going to go again and meet UNIVERSE all over the world. Let’s meet again!
WOOSEOK: I can’t forget the excitement inside the venue. My whole body was full of sweat, but I was even happy about it! I remember I was getting more and more excited with UNIVERSE’s energy. I will definitely go to Brazil again, so please wait for us a little longer!
During Prism World Tour in Brazil, was very clear to Brazilian Universes that you guys liked listening to the fans singing along with you. Considering, since that concert Pentagon launched new songs, which one of these new songs you’re anxious to perform to fans? What Universes can expect from 2020 Pentagon Online Concert ‘We L:ve’?
HUI: I really want to perform ‘You Like’ in front of UNIVERSE in Brazil. You will be able to see a very powerful performance of PENTAGON.
YUTO: I want to sing ‘Nostalgia’ written by WOOSEOK with UNIVERSE in Brazil. Also, we’re going to show you some exclusive performances that we’ve never shown before at this online concert. Please look forward to it!
