PENTAGON successfully held their first online fan meeting PENTAG-ON AIR on September 6, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. KST and spent exclusive time with fans which left them with the brightest smiles. The program was a total of 120 minutes and global UNIVERSE could see all sides of PENTAGON, strating from professional on stage performances to playful and honest behind the scenes emotions which allowed the members to get even closer to their UNIVERSE.
The fan meeting started off with a brilliant energetic perfomance of Basquiat, the final track featured on the last episode of Mnet Road to Kingdom and an equally impressive stage of Dr. Bebe, the title track from their first full album. They proceeded to say hello to all the fans tuning in in various languages, making sure no one felt left out. They also made sure to let all the fans know that they had been working incredibly hard for this fan meeting by saying, "It's the first online fan meeting that we've been looking forward to. We've been practicing very hard for today, and we really missed you."
PENTAGON continued their opening performance with 'Runaway,' followed by 'Happiness (Korean ver.)' and 'Summer' to show off their aspect of 'CheongryangTagon' (a combination of refreshment and PENTAGON), showing off a fresh energy.
Fans also got to see exclusive performances of the acoustic version of 'Just do it yo!!' and the English version of 'Spring Snow', and also sang 'Camelia' to show their appreciation and love to UNIVERSE.
What made this experience ever more special was the fact that even Jinho, who is currently serving in the military, participated in the real-time chat window during the fan meeting. Yanan also watched the fan meeting which further showed the strong bond of the group members as well as the special relationship between PENTAGON and UNIVERSE. Furthermore, there was a video from Jinho to say hello to UNIVERSE after a long time right before the encore began, and it left a deep impression on UNIVERSE.
PENTAGON then performed their final encore stage with 'Pretty Pretty', one of the tracks from the 2nd mini album, and 'Shine + Spring Snow'. Throughout the encore stage, UNIVERSE also created a beautifully surreal and touching moment with chat events such as "PENTAGON is our eternal UNIVERSE, we love you", "At this moment when the whole UNIVERSE is happy, PENTAGON, we love you and you're precious, as always."
The members then expressed their worries about the first online fan meeting but assured the fans that the experience had turned out very pleasurable for both parties. PENTAGON made sure to let their fans know how much they meant to them and even said that it was incredibly touching to hear their voices from the encore VCR. They also added that they wished things would get better soon so that they get to meet UNIVERSE in person again.
PENTAGON wrapped up the fan meeting by sincerely saying that, "Thank you so much for giving us your precious time, and we hope today will be remembered as a beautiful memory for UNIVERSE as well. We will be back very soon, so please look forward to it. We ardently love UNIVERSE so much."
In a final stroke of genius, during the end credits, the place where Yanan's name was to be included was blinked which instantly peaked fans' curiousity. Yanan recently resumed his activities through the Chinese drama "Use for my talent". The fans who saw it are anticipating that it might be a hint of his return to the group and are looking forward to his return
