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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
오늘은 유난히 더 떠올라
어떡해 계획과는 달라도
오늘이 아님 난 안돼 girl
Don diki don diki chiki dang dang
준비가 안된 듯한 네 표정
Yeah uh
Cupid baby 화살이 될게
그대로 내 과녁이 되어주면 돼 yeah
오그라드는 말 신경 안 써 난
오늘 밤 우리 콧노래 불러
너와 나 둘이 lucky lucky 불러
찾아 난 somethin' somethin'
Common now
공유하고 싶어 난 뭐든 다 oh
너에게 불러 song for you
I'm lucky lucky love for you
하늘을 봐 좋은 날씨 같아
분명 파랗던 하늘이 까매져 가
자 분위기 잡고 입 맞춰 볼까
그럼 내 기분은 대기권을 뚫고 나가
하늘이 떨어져 헤어지는 시간
다시 꿈에서 보자고 부끄럽지만
나도 알아 보고 싶잖아
지금 잡아줄 테니
어디 절대로 도망가지 말아
빨개진 네 표정을 보며 난
반쯤은 성공했단 확신을 가져
Yeah uh
Cupid baby 화살이 될게
그대로 내 과녁이 되어주면 돼 yeah

멋지게만 보여주고 싶은데
난 쉽게 잘 되지 않고 불안해져
네가 한숨을 쉴 때가
사실 난 좀 겁이 나
우리 둘 사이가 멀어질까 봐
난 밤새 걱정을 해 봤어
그래도 오늘이 아니면 안 돼 난
더는 기다릴 자신 없어 girl
오늘 밤 우리 콧노래 불러
너와 나 둘이 lucky lucky 불러
찾아 난 somethin' somethin'
Common now
공유하고 싶어 난 뭐든 다 oh
너에게 불러 song for you
I'm lucky lucky love for you

The lyrics of "Lucky" by 펜타곤 are about a man who is confident and certain that he is lucky to have found his love interest. The first verse sets the stage of a night filled with shooting stars, and it seems to trigger the singer's feeling of falling more deeply in love. He admits that things may not always go according to plan but that he cannot wait anymore as today is the day he must confess to his girl. In the chorus, he assures his beloved that he will be cupid and will never let any negativity interfere in their relationship. He speaks about enjoying the moment together, singing, feeling lucky and the desire to share everything with his beloved. The bridge reveals his insecurities about being good enough for his partner, and the song ends with the chorus.
One interesting element of "Lucky" is how the melody contrasts with the optimistic lyrics. The song's upbeat rhythm and melody give the impression of a playful and flirtatious demeanor while the lyrics express the singer's deep-rooted feelings of passion and devotion. The song's name, "Lucky," plays off the good fortune of encountering someone special, while the lyrics delve deeper into the emotions of the singer. The chorus's catchy melody, "오늘 밤 우리 콧노래 불러, 너와 나 둘이 lucky lucky 불러," is one that can easily get stuck in one's head, making it a song that lingers in the listener's mind. Moreover, the inclusion of the word "콧노래" that translates to "nose song" is a fun wordplay that adds to the playful tone of the song.
