Cube Entertainment’s new boy group Pentagon will be unveiled for the first time on a new survival-style debut program “Pentagon Maker” produced by cable channel Mnet.

Starting May 2, 10 contestants will vie for a spot in the new group formed by the label Beast and BtoB.

The contestants will compete through different missions, testing various factors such as singing, dancing, rapping and also star appeal, personality and attitude. Every Monday and Tuesday, the video clips of their missions -- competing individually or in groups depending on the project -- will be released on the Web. The final members will be chosen, based on the number of the view count of the clips and the “like” received from viewers.

Pentagon’s debut concert will be held on July 16.

Starting May 2, the clips will be released at 10 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday via portal Naver’s TV Cast for 12 weeks. The rerun of the series will be aired at 11 p.m. every Tuesday via cable channel Mnet, starting May 17.
