Boy band Kingdom held a media showcase in Seoul on Wednesday for its fifth EP, History of Kingdom: Part V. Louis.

The seven bandmates exuded confidence, saying they firmly believed in their performances and the effect they would have on those watching.

The seven-track EP revolves around Louis, as each of its EPs is dedicated to one bandmate. He admitted that he felt even more pressure, since the previous EP had been very well-received.

“But I told myself to use it as a foothold, to push myself further,” he said.

The EP is the first since Hwon joined the team, after Chiwoo left in May due to personal reasons.

“It was not difficult to understand the narrative,” Hwon assured, adding that he was fascinated by the concept of seven kingdoms. – By Hwang You-mee/The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
