Former PENTAGON member Kino is ready to start a new chapter in his career as he establishes his own one-man agency Naked.

On Friday, December 15, the idol shared the news on his social media platforms and opened up official accounts for his new agency. Following the bold name of his label, Kino aims to get one step closer to the public with his original and unadorned appearance.

“I have high expectations for the future I will face with Naked”, the singer said in his first greeting after the announcement. Moreover, Kino also promised to show a new side of him people have not seen before and asked for the fans’ interest and support.

Alongside the announcement, the label has unveiled Kino’s first concept photos to mark a new development in his career. In the series of photos, the artist appears to be enjoying a break on the beach with his friends.  “No one will ever be as entertained by us as us,” the caption read. 

Interestingly, this will be Kino’s return in the entertainment industry after his departure in his previous agency, Cube Entertainment, in October. Originally a member of the boy group PENTAGON, he spent seven years with Cube Entertainment since 2016.

Although Kino and four other members no longer signed a contract with Cube, the PENTAGON members have reassured the fans that the group will not disband.

Look forward to soloist Kino in the future

Finally set to start anew with his own label, Kino announced that he will soon hold a concert in January 2024 titled Born Naked. Said concert will be held at the Musina Garage in Seoul.
