Cravity: Crafting K-Pop Magic with Unmatched Talent and Charisma!
CRAVITY is one of those K-pop groups that makes the idea of "manufactured pop" feel inadequate. Nine members, formed in 2020, trained at Starship Entertainment — and from the very first EP they showed a range that most groups take years to develop. Powerful choreography one track, precise harmonies the next, then an unexpected ballad that changes the whole mood of the room. Every CRAVITY album we have ever stocked has sold through; every new release lands with the same weight of anticipation.
This is a proper introduction to CRAVITY: where the group comes from, what makes their discography coherent across eight EPs and two full albums, how their sound has shifted from the debut hideout era to the 2026 ReDeFINE project, and which albums and versions to pick up first. Everything we mention is in stock at Kool Seoul, sourced directly from Seoul and shipped worldwide via DHL Express — free on orders over $150.
CRAVITY (크래비티) is a nine-member K-pop group from Starship Entertainment, active since 2020. Their discography runs from the Hideout trilogy through the New Wave and Evershine eras to the 2026 ReDeFINE EP — eight EPs and counting. They are known for technically precise choreography, layered vocal arrangements, and a visual universe that shifts identity with each era without losing coherence. Kool Seoul ships authentic CRAVITY from Seoul with tracked DHL Express, free shipping over $150.
Who CRAVITY are — and where they came from
CRAVITY THE 8TH EP [ReDeFINE] · Re VER.the 2026 comeback that redefined what CRAVITY sounds like$32Shop now →
CRAVITY debuted on April 14, 2020, under Starship Entertainment — the same Seoul-based agency that manages MONSTA X and Cosmic Girls. The name is a portmanteau of "creativity" and "gravity," which tells you something about what the group was designed to project: a force that pulls people in, built on originality. The nine members are Serim, Allen, Jungmo, Woobin, Wonjin, Minhee, Hyeonsu, Taeyoung, and Seongmin. If you are new to them, the choreography is usually the entry point: tight, geometrically precise, the kind of staging that makes group performances look like they were designed for a diagram.
What is less obvious from a distance is how deliberately the group has managed their discography. Most K-pop acts at Starship debut with an EP, follow with a repackage, and then spend two years trying to find a sound. CRAVITY did something different: they structured their early releases as a trilogy — three Hideout seasons — that built a narrative universe and gave each comeback a sense of continuation rather than repetition. By the time New Wave dropped in 2022, they had already established enough of a grammar to subvert it.
The Hideout trilogy — where CRAVITY's world began
CRAVITY Season 1 · [Hideout: Remember Who We Are] Ver. 3 Randomthe debut EP that launched the Hideout universe$26Shop now →
The first three CRAVITY releases — SEASON 1. [Hideout: Remember Who We Are], SEASON 2. [Hideout: The New Day We Step Into], and SEASON 3. [Hideout: Be Our Voice] — are not just albums; they are chapters. Each one deepens a visual and conceptual universe built around a group of people who exist outside normal rules, hiding in plain sight, finding their own power. That is the premise. Whether you read it literally or as a metaphor for the experience of being a young K-pop fan who does not fit the mainstream mold is up to you — and CRAVITY have always left that ambiguity intentional.
The Season 3 set is the one we recommend most often to collectors: it packages all three concepts in a cohesive physical arc, and the photocards across the three seasons give you the full range of CRAVITY's visual range before they started evolving into something darker.
CRAVITY Season 2 · [Hideout: The New Day We Step Into] Randomthe second chapter of the Hideout trilogy$26Shop now →
The debut production quality is notably high for a first-year group. Starship did not treat CRAVITY as an experiment — they received the full production pipeline from day one, which shows in the mastering, the jacket photo direction, and the scope of the universe building. If you are comparing to other 2020-era debuts, this holds up well.
From New Wave to Evershine — CRAVITY grows into itself
CRAVITY [New Wave] · 4th EP (Random 1 of 3)the pivot album — darker, more self-assured$29Shop now →
New Wave, the fourth EP, is the release where CRAVITY stopped explaining themselves and started asserting themselves. The production moves away from the bright, almost antagonistic energy of the Hideout era toward something more complex: heavier bass, more fragmented vocal layering, choreography that spends more time in stillness before it breaks. "Guilty" is the track most people use as the entry point for this era — a kind of distilled argument that CRAVITY have a specific sonic identity and are not interested in softening it for casual listeners.
The Jewel Ver. Limited (9 Random 1) is the collector's choice from this era — a physically distinct format with a different aesthetic than the standard album, pressed in smaller quantities. The Set of 3 gives you the full trio of versions at once, which is how most completionists approach it.
CRAVITY 7th Album [EVERSHINE] · Random 1 of 3the album that cemented their second-generation standing$30Shop now →
Evershine, the seventh EP, is the one that most Korean music critics use when describing CRAVITY's matured sound. Where New Wave was about edge, Evershine is about shine — a deliberate softening of the aesthetic that does not read as retreat but as expansion. The title track holds an unusual tension between major-key warmth and minor-key urgency that is harder to pull off than it sounds. The three-version physical format means you can collect the full arc of jacket concepts across Normal, Digipack Random, and Digipack Set — each tells the same era slightly differently.
The Sun Seeker and Liberty eras — filling out the discography
CRAVITY 6th Mini Album [SUN SEEKER] · Randomthe summer EP with the most immediate pop hooks$30Shop now →
The Sun Seeker sixth mini album is the lightest entry in CRAVITY's catalog and the most immediately accessible for a first-time listener. The production is deliberately summer-leaning — bright synths, faster tempos, a danceable quality that doesn't sacrifice the group's vocal precision. If you are buying one CRAVITY album to introduce someone who is skeptical of K-pop, this is the one. It opens the door without demanding that the listener understand the full Hideout backstory to appreciate what they are hearing.
The 1st Album Part 2: Liberty in Our Cosmos is at the other end of that spectrum — a full-length that rewards patience. It is the second half of CRAVITY's debut full album project, more layered than anything in the EP run, with a runtime that lets each concept breathe before the track list closes. If Sun Seeker is the entry point, Liberty in Our Cosmos is where you go after you are already converted.

CRAVITY Single Album [FIND THE ORBIT] · PLVE VER.the digital-collector edition from the Orbit drop$23Shop now →
Find The Orbit is CRAVITY's single album — a deliberately concise release that sits between the EP format and a traditional single. It comes in several versions: WHO, ARE, WE, _REMEMBER, and PLVE, each with distinct jacket art and photocard sets. The PLVE version is a digital-plus-physical hybrid format that has become common across Starship's roster, designed for fans who want to participate in both the streaming and the physical collecting ecosystem. The WHO/ARE Set of 2 is the most popular pairing at Kool Seoul — different jacket photography, one price bracket.

ReDeFINE — the 2026 comeback
CRAVITY THE 8TH EP [ReDeFINE] · FINE VER. (Limited)the most striking Limited version from the 2026 comeback$32Shop now →
The eighth EP, ReDeFINE, is the 2026 release and the most complex production CRAVITY have put out. The title is deliberately split — Re / De / FINE — into three words that each carry a distinct meaning depending on how you read the capitalization. The release format reflects this: five versions (Re, redefine, FINE, De, and DIGIPACK), each with its own jacket concept, its own color story, and its own sub-selection of photocards and inclusions.
The redefine VER. is the standard-format version that most people start with — complete inclusions, the cleanest presentation of the album's central visual concept. The DIGIPACK VER. (Limited) Random 1 of 9 is the photocard collector's choice — nine distinct jacket designs, one per member, in a limited-press format. The FINE VER. (Limited) is the most visually distinctive of the five, with the most departure from CRAVITY's previous jacket aesthetic.

The De VER. (Limited) rounds out the format range — softer in presentation than the FINE but retaining the fractured typographic identity that runs across the whole ReDeFINE project. If you are building a complete collection, the five-version set covers the full visual arc of this comeback.
The Dare To Crave era — CRAVITY's second full album
CRAVITY The 2nd Album [Dare To Crave] · Random 1 of 3the second full album — full runtime, full confidence$32Shop now →
Dare To Crave is CRAVITY's second full album — longer, more varied in tempo and register, and structured with enough breathing room between tracks that it rewards listening in full rather than in shuffle. The Random 1 of 3 standard version is the most popular physical format. The DIGIPACK ver. Random 1 of 9 is the member-photocard format, and the Set of 3 gives you the complete trio of jacket concepts in one order.
The Epilogue Standard (Limited) is the repackage chapter — a compressed add-on release that extends the Dare To Crave narrative with new track material and a refreshed jacket concept. The Epilogue Grape CCREW VER. is a limited-edition format tied to CRAVITY's official fan community, with nine individual jacket options — one per member — and exclusive inclusions that are not available in the standard Epilogue pressing.
How to start a CRAVITY collection
If you are starting from zero, the most efficient entry point depends on what draws you to CRAVITY in the first place. For choreography-focused fans who found the group through a performance video: start with the Evershine Random — it covers the most developed stage of their visual and sonic identity in the most widely available format. For fans who came through the ReDeFINE comeback: the redefine VER. is the natural first purchase, and the DIGIPACK random second. For discography completionists: start at the beginning — Season 1 Hideout random, then work forward.
One practical note on versions: CRAVITY physical albums typically include a random photocard from the full team set. If you are collecting for a specific member, the DIGIPACK versions that sell individual member jacket designs (as opposed to a group jacket) give you a much higher probability of landing that member's card, since the jacket itself is already member-specific. We cannot guarantee which card ships with any random-format album, but the DIGIPACK individual-member format changes the odds meaningfully compared to a standard group-jacket pressing.
Why shop CRAVITY albums at Kool Seoul
Kool Seoul is based in Seoul and sources directly through Korea's own distribution network. Every CRAVITY album we ship is Korean-market inventory — Korean-language packaging, Korean production codes, Korean barcodes. No grey-market repacking, no redirected Japanese-market copies, no expired stock cleared from a warehouse. When a new CRAVITY comeback drops, we receive stock within the Korean domestic window, which means international fans access the same pressing as fans who walked into a Hanteo-eligible Korean record store on release day.
We also carry the full catalogue — not just the latest comeback. The CRAVITY Hideout Season 1 alongside the ReDeFINE DIGIPACK: both in one basket, one DHL shipment, one customs declaration. For international fans who cannot order easily from Korean domestic platforms, that is a meaningful difference from a convenience and customs-cost perspective.
CRAVITY — frequently asked questions
How many members does CRAVITY have?
CRAVITY has nine members: Serim, Allen, Jungmo, Woobin, Wonjin, Minhee, Hyeonsu, Taeyoung, and Seongmin. All nine have been with the group since the April 2020 debut — there have been no member additions or departures since the group's formation.
What label is CRAVITY under?
CRAVITY is managed by Starship Entertainment, a Seoul-based agency that also represents MONSTA X, Cosmic Girls, and IVE. Starship is a mid-size agency with a track record of sustained domestic and international marketing for its groups, which partly explains why CRAVITY's physical production quality has been consistently high since debut.
What order should I listen to CRAVITY's albums in?
Chronologically: Season 1 (Hideout: Remember Who We Are), Season 2 (Hideout: The New Day We Step Into), Season 3 (Hideout: Be Our Voice), then the 1st Album Part 1 (The Awakening), Part 2 (Liberty in Our Cosmos), New Wave (4th EP), Sun Seeker (6th Mini Album), Evershine (7th EP), Find The Orbit (Single Album), Dare To Crave (2nd Album) and its Epilogue, then ReDeFINE (8th EP). That order follows the conceptual arc the group built intentionally. If you want to start with the most current and work backwards, begin with ReDeFINE and Dare To Crave, then drop back to Evershine and New Wave.
What is the difference between the standard and DIGIPACK versions of a CRAVITY album?
Standard versions typically come with a group-concept jacket, a full set of inclusions, and a random photocard from the group set. DIGIPACK versions are usually slightly smaller, feature a more premium card-stock format, and — when sold as individual versions (Random 1 of 9, for example) — each unit has a distinct member-specific jacket design. DIGIPACK editions also often come in limited pressings, which means they sell through faster. For collectors who focus on a specific member, DIGIPACK individual formats are almost always the priority pick.
What does PLVE version mean for CRAVITY albums?
PLVE is a digital platform launched by Makestar, a Korean fan-engagement company with ties to several K-pop agencies including Starship. A PLVE version album is a physical album bundle that comes with a QR code or digital access for exclusive content on the PLVE platform — additional photos, video content, or digital-only photocard equivalents. The physical album itself is usually a standard or compact format; the PLVE add-on is the value differentiator. It is most popular with fans who want both the physical collecting experience and a direct digital connection to the group's content ecosystem.
Are CRAVITY albums available outside Korea?
Yes, through Kool Seoul. We source directly from Seoul's domestic distribution network and ship internationally via DHL Express with end-to-end tracking. Transit to most of the US, Europe, and Australia runs three to six business days from the moment your parcel is scanned in Seoul. Customs processing varies by destination — we ship with commercial invoices and Korean production documentation to minimize delays, but customs clearance time is outside our control.
What is the Grape CCREW version of the Dare To Crave Epilogue?
CCREW is the official name of CRAVITY's fandom — the community of dedicated fans around the group. The Grape CCREW version of the Dare To Crave : Epilogue is a limited-edition format released specifically for CCREW members, with nine individual jacket designs (one per member) and inclusions that differ from the standard Epilogue pressing. It is the most collector-focused format in the Epilogue release and typically sells through faster than the standard edition.
Is shipping from Seoul to Europe fast?
Kool Seoul ships via DHL Express with tracking from pickup in Seoul to delivery at your door. Transit to most of Western Europe runs four to seven business days, though customs processing in some EU countries can add time. All shipments include a commercial invoice and Korean production documentation. Shipping is free on orders over $150.
