PENTAGON films 'Coward' MV in 35°C heatwave with hidden Easter Eggs

The group PENTAGON has completed filming the music video for their new song 'Coward,' despite a heatwave reaching nearly 35°C. The released behind-the-scenes footage captures the members battling the sweltering heat and the overall atmosphere on set.

Heartwarming stories and health management amid 35°C heat

Temperatures on the day of filming reportedly reached 35°C. In the video, the members are seen looking out for one another despite the intense weather. One member revealed that although they arrived early in the morning and were sleeping in their car, they were able to manage their condition by resting for two hours thanks to Hongseok, who stepped up to handle the initial filming. In response, another member shared an anecdote about only getting one or two hours of sleep after chatting until 4:30 AM, highlighting the close bond among the members.

The heat also presented physical challenges during production. The footage shows the members using aloe gel provided by their manager, while they demonstrated professional resolve, stating, "No matter how hard it is, we have to be perfectly fine as soon as we stand in front of the camera." Additionally, one member mentioned his experience serving in the Republic of Korea Army 39th Division military band, expressing his determination to withstand the heat.

'Easter Eggs' since debut: The meaning behind the subway location

Filming took place at two primary locations. The second location, a subway set, features various elements symbolizing PENTAGON's past activities. According to the video description and the members' comments, the set contains several 'Easter Eggs' for fans to discover, including references to their debut song 'Burinana,' the paper airplane from the 'Bitnari' teaser, and the carrier used during their 'Routing' promotions.

Dedication to perfection and anticipation for future activities

The members expressed that the filming process was a meaningful experience that they will cherish for a lifetime. As this work is being produced as part of a specific project, the members shared their joy regarding the process of seeing it come together step by step.

Focusing on the goal of a high-quality result, the members expressed excitement for their upcoming unit activities being prepared alongside this music video. PENTAGON added that they plan to recharge during their concert period to prepare for their future activities.
