Ddaengchil turned out to be PENTAGON’s Hongseok!

Hongseok commented, “When I first rehearsed for the ‘The King of Mask Singer’ duet, I got goosebumps. I thought, ‘I wanted to initially become a singer for this reason. That’s right, I enjoyed singing.’ I really liked it. I want to dedicate this performance to myself.”

He then commented, “I take pride in the fact that my group’s songs are good. I’m sad that not many people know about PENTAGON yet. I was disappointed because I wanted more people to listen to our songs.”
