3rd Generation K-Pop Idol Randomly Spotted Promoting Self-Made Sign In The Middle Of Coachella
A certain boy group member is going viral for his method of promoting himself.
PENTAGON‘s Kino was spotted at Coachella writing something down with colored markers.
A little later, he was seen sitting in the middle of the Coachella festival grounds holding up a sign encouraging bystanders to visit his Instagram page to find new artists. He ended the sign with his Instagram handle, @831×10, and signed off with his artist name KINO.
Discovered any new artist? Now you have. Big drop on May 2nd.
— Kino
Kino was marketing his first solo album, If this is love, I want a refund, which will be released on May 2.
Fans easily caught wind of his spontaneous promotion, taking to social media to express their amazement at his actions. They were emotional that he took it into his own hands to get his name out and they hoped that his self-marketing becomes a success.
