-Following Interview ②

-In your sixth year since debut, when did you feel you grew the most?

▶Taeyoung=It wasn't just empty words; it was when we received an award at 'AAA 2025'. I had also attended 'AAA 2023' held in Japan, and being able to attend again two years later and receive an award allowed us to feel our growth.

-At 'AAA 2025', you were seated alongside many Starship senior and junior artists. Now that Cravity has junior male groups, are you ready to pass on the love and advice you received from senior group Monsta X to your juniors?

▶Wonjin=There are many difficult aspects. Honestly, it's not easy to approach them first. When we were juniors, it was hard to approach seniors, but now that we are seniors, we are cautious because we worry our juniors might feel uncomfortable. We even worry that asking "Are you doing well?" might feel like we're acting like old-fashioned elders. So sometimes we end up avoiding the situation. Still, since we also grew up receiving so much love and advice from Monsta X hyungs, we try our best to treat our juniors well when we meet them.

▶Taeyoung=It seems like a process of learning how to be a good senior. Actually, we haven't done much, yet Edie follows us well. That's why we are even more grateful and are striving to become better seniors.

-Recently, the members' individual activity areas are expanding. As each member takes on new challenges, what impact are the experiences gained having on the group's activities?

▶Woobin=Recently, I made my musical stage debut with 'Romeo and Juliet'. The process of getting on stage was truly new, and the process of learning and syncing with new senior artists was not easy. Still, as I gradually adapted and became more comfortable, it seems I was actually able to enjoy it once the performance began. But honestly, it was difficult.

-What were the members' impressions after watching Woobin's performance?

▶Allen=It was so fun I watched it two or three times. Honestly, in the beginning, he seemed a bit stiff and nervous. But by the end, I felt he was relaxed, and I felt proud and impressed. I saw Woobin's growth process.

▶Hyeongjun=I almost cried. Seeing my hyung on stage made me emotional. We share the same dorm, and I saw him practicing until early morning. I watched him analyze the original work and the character, so seeing him on stage felt even more gratifying. He was someone who stood on stage with me, but seeing the audience made me feel a new sense of emotion.

▶Allen=That's right. I did feel emotional, but I didn't want to cry because of Woobin. ▶Hyeongjun=I felt the same way.

-Hyeongjun also took on his first drama challenge. Do other members have no desire to try acting?

▶Hyeongjun=When doing group activities, I thought there was a certain correct answer. You just have to match the choreography, record well, and so on. There's a set framework, but acting is expression, so it felt like there was no correct answer. Having experienced it for the first time, it was definitely difficult. When scheduling, since the other members weren't there, it was definitely lonely.

▶Wonjin=I have experience as a child actor. I also had a brief appearance in the movie 'The Man from Nowhere'. Because I have those memories, it seems difficult for me right now, but I'd like to try when I'm in my 40s or 50s. I think I need to manage myself so I can age gracefully.

▶Serim=There is no age limit for acting. It's a field I might try someday. If given the opportunity, I am confident I can work hard.

-For an idol, seven years is a very significant number. As you approach renewal, have you discussed this among yourselves?

▶Hyeongjun=After our activities ended, we talked among ourselves, and overall, opinions converged in a positive direction. We haven't yet reached the stage of having specific discussions with the company or hearing their opinions, but at least among ourselves, we are thinking positively. Actually, I think this is all I can say for now. However, I want to tell our fans not to worry too much and to trust us and wait a little longer.

-What are Cravity's long-term goals?

▶Jungmo=My dream is to hold a solo concert at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena (KSPO DOME).

▶Allen=We often say "Let's be together forever." But "forever" is too unknown a number, so for now, we want to become a "long-lasting idol" who is loved for a long time.

▶Serim=To become a "long-lasting idol," I think we must be recognized by many people. I want to grow more with the members than we are now and continue activities for a long time, becoming a team that stays together for a long time.

-Finally, do you have any message for LUVITY (Cravity's fandom name)?

▶Wonjin=If LUVITY is always by our side, we are ready to walk even through a thorny path.

▶Allen=It's a phrase also found in the lyrics I wrote: "If only LUVITY is at the end of this path, I don't mind walking it many times."

-End
