In December 2015, Cube Entertainment announced that they were preparing to debut a boy group in mid-2016, four years after BTOB's debut.
The final lineup of Pentagon was decided through Mnet's reality program Pentagon Maker. Pentagon Maker aired online through Mnet's digital content brand, M2, and showcased the members challenging five aspects: Performance, Dance, Teamwork, Talent and Mind. By the end of the show, Jinho, Hui, Hongseok, Yeo One, Yuto, Kino and Wooseok were confirmed as the official members of the group. The group was originally scheduled to host their debut concert on July 23, 2016 at Jamsil Indoor Stadium, but Cube Entertainment delayed the concert and debut date of the group because of some internal issues.
On September 30, 2016, Pentagon were confirmed to debut on October 10, 2016. It was also confirmed that the group would be debuting with ten members, including the members eliminated from Pentagon Maker: E'Dawn, Shinwon and Yan An.
Pentagon released their first mini album Pentagon on October 10, 2016. Pentagon is composed of seven tracks, including the title-track "Gorilla". The group also held their debut showcase on the same day.
They held their first solo concert, on December 6 at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, Seoul. The tickets for the concert were sold out within eight minutes of going on sale. On December 7, the group released their second mini-album Five Senses, including the title-track "감이 오지 (Can You Feel It)".
On March 29, Pentagon released their first Japanese mini album Gorilla. The album contains Japanese versions of their previous songs and two new Japanese tracks.
On May 1, Hui and E'Dawn debuted in the sub-unit Triple H with Hyuna. The mini album, named 199X, contains title track "365 Fresh" and three other songs.
On May 18, Pentagon pre-released a special track titled "Beautiful" which was produced by BTOB's Ilhoon. Soon after the song's release, they announced plans for a comeback with album titled Ceremony. Unfortunately, Yan An was unable to participate in comeback activities due to an injury. The music video for title track "Critical Beauty" was released on June 12.

흘러가는 시간 속에서
멈춰진 하나의 그림자
어딜 바라보고 있는 걸까
모든 게 낯설어져 익숙해져 있던 내 모습까지
화창한 아침이 와도 내 모습을 비추지 못하게
차가운 한숨을 쉬어 매일 반복되는 시련 앞에선
들키고 싶지 않았기에 또 감추면 맘이 아파지게
이런 이런 저런 저런 사소한 일은 다 같잖기에
처음 피어난 꽃처럼 싹을 틔우는 작은 풀처럼
너를 믿고서 go on my way
진짜의 날 기다려주길 like this
(Oh oh oh oh) 이제는 울지 않아
(Oh oh oh oh) 세상에 소릴 질러 oh yeah
넘어져 무릎에 피가 나도
계속 달려갈게 like this
(Oh oh oh oh) 절대 멈추지 않아
(Oh oh oh oh) 내가 원한 단 하나의 빛을
Oh yeah 비바람이 몰아쳐도
계속 달려갈게 like this
두안의 구 나의 꿈 안 멈춰 난 divin'
I got a trouble trouble, oh
꽃 위에 bee 날갯짓 윙 나에겐 dawn is free
가늠 못 할 limit 내 끝없는 깊이
시들은 꽃잎이 되어
땅에 떨어져 밟혀도
그 빛을 잃지 않도록 나를 지켜내 줘
처음 피어난 꽃처럼
싹을 틔우는 작은 풀처럼
너를 믿고서 go on my way
진짜의 날 기다려주길 like this
(Oh oh oh oh) 이제는 울지 않아
(Oh oh oh oh) 세상에 소릴 질러 oh yeah
넘어져 무릎에 피가 나도
계속 달려갈게 like this
(Oh oh oh oh) 절대 멈추지 않아
(Oh oh oh oh) 내가 원한 단 하나의 빛을
Oh yeah 비바람이 몰아쳐도
계속 달려갈게 like this
I'm running, I'm running baby
끝이 없는 터널을 달려
저 멀리 보이는 희미한 점 하나
I'm running, I'm running baby
넘어지고 쓰러진대도
내 안에 나를 찾아 oh yeah
(Oh oh oh oh) 이제는 울지 않아
(Oh oh oh oh) 세상에 소릴 질러 oh yeah
넘어져 무릎에 피가 나도
계속 달려갈게 like this
(Oh oh oh oh) 절대 멈추지 않아

피로 가득해도 달려서 원하는 대로 바꿨어
누가 나를 말려도 그냥 잊혀지길 바랬어
후회 없이 살게 하늘을 보고 like this
날개를 펴서 날아가자 이제 like this

The lyrics to "Like This" by PENTAGON focus on perseverance in the face of difficulties and the importance of staying true to oneself. The verses paint a picture of someone feeling lost, disillusioned, and weighed down by the monotony and struggles of daily life. However, the chorus calls for a shift in perspective, encouraging the listener to keep running towards their dreams and never give up, even in the face of adversity. The bridge of the song brings in a metaphor of a flower that has withered but still retains its light, symbolizing the importance of holding onto one's inner strength and not losing hope.
Overall, "Like This" is an empowering anthem about overcoming challenges and staying true to oneself in the face of adversity. Its uplifting message and catchy melody have made it a fan favorite among PENTAGON's discography.

FACTS
@enbymack1846
👍👍 The dynamics, transitions, and lyrics of this song are insanely good. But it does take a few listens to really appreciate it, so I guess I can understand why it didn't blow up. It's one of those songs that improves with each new listen.
@iris-fz9pf
world wasn't ready when this was released, THIS IS A MASTERPIECE.
