CRAVITY, who made a comeback wearing ‘Youth’, “I’ll show you a different sense of composure” [N Interview]

(Seoul = News 1) Reporter Taehyun Ahn = Group CRAVITY will release its 6th mini album ‘SUN SEEKER’ at 6 PM on the 11th. ‘Sun Seeker’ is an album that sings about the passionate youth of youth, and contains the message that Cravity, a group of 9 members, respects everyone’s individuality and supports each person’s life.

The double title song ‘Ready or Not’ is a song that shows Cravity’s unique pleasant energy and young vibe. It is an up-tempo dynamic pop & rock genre song based on an addictive guitar riff.. Another title song, ‘Cheese’, is a song about Cravity’s special, pleasant day. It is a cheerful pop R&B song that combines rhythmic bass, beautiful harmonious synthesizer sounds, and refreshing melody.

Cravity, who returned to fans about six months after releasing their 5th mini album last March, plans to deliver even more diverse charms with their first double title song since their debut. In particular, they depict the freshness of youth with ‘Cheese’ and the passion of youth with ‘Ready or Not’, depicting ‘Cravity’s unique youth’ and making people look forward to their current growth.

Accordingly, Cravity recently met with reporters at the Starship Entertainment headquarters located in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, and while talking about their new album, they expressed extraordinary expectations for the ‘story of youth’ they will portray. Through the story of ‘Youth’, we heard about Cravity’s aspirations for another challenge.

-Please tell us your thoughts on the comeback.

▶(Minhee) It’s so nice to be able to meet my fans for the first time in a while. My birthday is in September, so I will feel grateful to spend my birthday with you and have fun working.

▶(Taeyoung) Since this is our first double title song, we think we will be able to show a variety of sides to ourselves, so we are curious about fans’ reactions and are preparing with excitement.

-Why did you prepare a double title song?

▶(Wonjin) I tried to be greedy. As our modifier is ‘performance’ (performance + cravity), we couldn’t give up on performance. Also, I couldn’t give up on the refreshing concept that I’ve been pushing since ‘Adrenaline’. To show those two sides, we prepared a double title song.

-What were your first feelings when you heard the two title songs?

▶(Serim) When I listened to ‘Cheese’, I thought it was a great song that was easy to listen to as easy listening is the trend these days and would make you feel refreshed when you listen to it. ‘Ready or Not’ seemed like something I could enjoy when I imagined performing this song.

-How are you preparing for the ‘Ready or Not’ performance?

▶(Serim) The ‘Ready or Not’ performance had the most modifications among our songs. That’s why we put a lot of thought into it, as challenges are popular these days, so we made a lot of modifications to focus on the part that many people, including the public, can follow while also showing our own performance. What is different from the previous album is that you will be able to see us relaxed and having fun on stage.

-Which member do you personally think best suits this album’s concept?

▶(Woobin) Personally, I think Wonjin fits the concept best. One of the double title songs is refreshing and refreshing, and the other song is a song that feels like a challenge to the future without hesitation, similar to the mindset of the MZ generation these days, ‘whether it happens or not.’ I think Wonjin has made a lot of progress while preparing for this album because he challenges himself a lot and studies new gestures a lot.

▶(Wonjin) First of all, I am honored to hear this from Woobin. (Laughs) I am usually very greedy, so it would be such an honor if Woobin thought of me this way.

-Is there anything you would like to hear through this album promotion?

▶(Wonjin) First of all, personally, I think it will get better in the future, but I think the quality of this album, including the songs included, has improved a lot. So I worked harder and released it as a double title song, but I want to hear people say that the song on the album is a great song. I hope that fans will be curious about our performance of our b-side songs and be able to prepare for them at our concerts as well.

-In what areas do you think you have improved in terms of skills while preparing for this album?

▶(Serim) This is something I felt while preparing for a comeback while on a world tour, and I felt more relaxed. All of the double title songs have something in common, being a bit more relaxed and having fun, and I think I’ll be able to show my improved skills in that area.

▶(Wonjin) I can tell you that the preparation period this time was the shortest, and the choreography teacher who has been with us so far praised us and said that it was the best fit for us. I wonder what it would have been like if the preparation period had been longer, but I think the sum of the performances has also improved a lot.

-Is there a goal or result you want to achieve through this album?

▶(Wonjin) First of all, as we used this album as a double title song, we want to show the various charms of the many songs included. And here, the goal is to confirm the reaction of ‘I like this look’ or ‘I like that look too’.
