two and a half long years have gone by and it’s finally d-day. i sit at my window thinking about my time as a wizone, and i don’t regret it. i may have once or twice regretted ever becoming a wizone, but in the end, i know i’ll always be grateful for getting to know the twelve of you. i feel a sense of… calm right now as i write this; i don’t think it’s sunk in yet. i joke about my mental health going to shit, but it’s no joke, i just like to joke about my pain and suffering, and i really am crumbling at the seams.

to be frank, i don’t want to say goodbye, i don’t think anyone wants to say goodbye to you. there’s going to be a big izone shaped hole in my heart now that you’ve gone. i wanted to badly to stop this day from happening, i wanted to take this day off of the calendar so badly, it hurt to see this date anywhere. i dreaded this day, it happened with wanna one, x1, i knew how i was going to feel, i knew it was going to be painful, but it doesn’t feel any better knowing.

goodbyes will always be painful. no matter how many times i tell myself that this was supposed to happen, i knew that it was coming, i will always be hurting deep inside, it’s only natural. to be honest, i’m finding it hard to keep my tears in as i write this. i don’t want to cry, i don’t want to shed tears, but i am struggling to do that right now. i know that if i turn your music on i’m going to breakdown, but i’ll do it anyway. for my loves.

i feel numb. listening to izone songs that use to give me joy are making me cry in pain, in grief, in anger, and here goes the first tear. the second. izone, my one and only, my rock, my happiness - gone. the tears feel like they’re burning my skin off. no joke. they hurt. the tears falling down my face hurt me. i don’t want to cry anymore. it’s apart of the grieving process i suppose though.

izone as a group have done so much for me, more than i can explain in this simple message. their music have calmed me down in moments of strife, and i can remember one time very clearly when my family were yelling and screaming at each other to the point of the cops being called, but izone was there. they had their live for me to watch, their music for me to listen to. they helped me calm down. i listen to izone almost every night, as proof, i’ve listened to them for a total of 27, 208 as of 3:02am, thursday the 29th of april, 2021. how much more do i need to explain? izone as a group, has always been there for me since i first met them. their smiles, their laughter, their bright bubbling personalities help give meaning to my life, and now that i won’t be able to see them as twelve anymore gives me so much anxiety. how will i deal without their updates everyday? it’s a big sting, but i’ll get over it. someday.

i have to talk about the japanese versions of la vie en rose, violeta and fiesta... NOTHING hits like those songs. i don’t normally like songs that were once in korean then translated to japanese, and the other way around as well (i didn’t like when they did that for gokigen sayounara and neko ni naritai) BUT there’s just something about this songs that put my heart in overdrive, i love them so much. there’s just something that hits when eunbi says “fiesta kokoro atsuku moesakari” that gives me chills, or the way violeta goes “‘cause your my violeta / watashi ni / ‘cause your my violeta / subete o” in the chorus, or the way yena’s rap in la vie en rose just slaps me in the face and leaves me stunned. i’m just absolutely speechless at how much i love these versions. maybe it’s just izone, but i’m in love, there’s no other way to describe it.

the other songs on the album too!!!!!! in yummy summer especially 😭😭😭 the way sakura in the chorus says “sou! kimi to summer” that i just can’t get out of my head, and i’ve been saying it around the house all afternoon. and chaewon’s line!!!!! “doko ni ikou?” that HITS. sakura wasn’t lying when she said we’d love chaewon’s lines especially 😭 sakura also composed the song, so it’s a big plus!! saku-chan’s really come a long way 🥺🥺 waiting was also another of my favourites, i can’t really describe it, but the whole, “are you waiting up for me? / waiting for my love?” and “waiting up for me? / you wanna be waiting for my love” and “maybe, i’m loving you know / i’m into you know” and “i’m loving you know / i wanna be here kissing you now” and “who is waiting? / waiting for my love?” THAT MAKE ME FEEEEEL I AM FEELING A LOT WITH THOSE LINES. i hate that izone came for me with this album. dousurebaii? also had a jazz sound!!! i lOVE JAZZ!!1!!1!!!1!1!1!!1!1!1 i can’t really describe it other than love, i’m in love, there’s nothing i hate about this album, but what did i expect? it’s from izone 😌

hello and welcome to something i was supposed to hand in for english and never did! have fun! (based off of cravity's lore and whatever the fuck my teacher told me to add in here)



Allen walks briskly up to the box that sits on his school desk.

He doesn’t know when it got there or how it got there, but it's there now. It’s a tiny box, almost like a box you’d put a promise ring or a wedding ring in. There’s a velvet colour to it and Allen half expects someone to pop out of nowhere and propose to him, but it doesn’t happen.

He stands over his desk and stares at the box for a while, not reacting. He only registers his surroundings when his teacher tells him to sit down. He does just that, but he can’t focus on the lesson that is being taught to him.

The velvet box sits menacingly in the corner of Allen’s desk. It scares him in a way that shouldn’t, but a weird aura that Allen can’t describe surrounds the box and gives him an unnecessary amount of stress.

By the time the bell goes for lunch, Allen is still staring at the box and he now has a paper sitting on his desk.

What do you want to do in the future?

God, Allen hates that question. Freedom, he thinks off-handedly.

He stares back at the box, but he can’t think about anything else. It’s like that damn box is stopping Allen from thinking about anything else, so he grabs the box angrily, opening it roughly.

There’s a note in there, he takes out the note gently, careful enough to not rip it at least. He opens it.

Find them. It says.

It’s the only thing on the note and Allen stares for a long while.

Find who exactly? Who is them, and why does Allen need to find them?

He gets up quickly and harshly, shoving the chair back into the desk behind his as he does so.

He packs his things up quickly, shoving the small box into his pocket, before rushing out of the classroom.

When he’s finally out, his best friends are there waiting for him.

There’s Serim, with recently dyed blue hair, Allen thinks he looks more handsome since he dyed it, and everyone else seems to think the same as well. Serim’s also the oldest out of the four friends. He’s like the leader of them, makes sure they’re all well fed, well hydrated and that they’ve done all of their schoolwork for the day.

Serim’s like an angel from above, if Allen had to describe him in three words.

Then there’s Jungmo. Compared to Allen, Jungmo’s a tower. There’s at least a third of a head between him and Jungmo and Allen finds himself staring up towards the tower of a man. His hair used to be an array of purples, but now it’s dyed a simple light brown, and if it wasn’t for his height, he’d blend in with the crowd.

The last of the four is Wonjin, who’s also the youngest of the four. Like Jungmo, his hair is also a simple light brown. He’s a lot shorter than Jungmo, but his defined features set him apart from the rest of the crowd. What Allen likes most about Wonjin is his bubbly personality, he never fails to cheer Allen up and it’s what he needs, especially being stuck in a hell hole like this school.

Allen’s only known the three of them for a year, but an interesting story he heard was of a dog leading an unsuspecting Serim to Jungmo, who ultimately led them to an unsuspecting Wonjin, who was painting a picture of the three of them.

What’s funny is that Wonjin had never seen these people before.

It has always confused Allen, but those three are attached to the hip now, so it must’ve been for the best that they met that day.

Allen was a transferee from America and immediately got attached to the three of them. They were amazing, lovely people and did everything in their power to make Allen feel as comfortable as he did with his new life in Korea.

He can suddenly see a random boy standing in front of Wonjin (like he teleported there), holding onto his hand, inspecting the purple crystal that’s wrapped around Wonjin’s wrist with a simple black band.

It’s all too confusing to Allen, he doesn’t know where this boy came from and suddenly he’s too close to Wonjin.

“Taeyoung-ah.” He hears from behind him and Allen turns around to inspect where the voice came from.

There’s another boy who stands there, not much taller than Allen himself, his face shows shock, eyes wide open, mouth hanging open slightly. His hair is a bright red that looks like it was dyed yesterday.

He looks back to who Allen can only assume is Taeyoung. He’s a lot taller than Allen himself, but not taller than Jungmo. His skin is tanner than anyone else Allen has seen at this school. His face shows youth, and he looks a lot younger than a high school student.

His hair is a dark brown, but strips of his hair have been dyed in a rainbow that goes horizontally.

There’s a splash of running water at his feet and then there’s commotion around him. He looks back up and Taeyoung’s nose is bleeding. Drops of bright red blood falling down his face slowly.

His pocket starts burning, the same pocket that he had the box inside. It burns so much that Allen needs to take it out.

He pulls it out, opens the box and then the note. There’s now names engraved below the find them.

Serim, Allen, Jungmo, then there’s a blank space, maybe for more names, Wonjin, another blank space, Hyeongjun, Taeyoung, and then nothing afterwards, but Allen assumes there’s one more name meant to go after Taeyoung’s, because of the comma.

He still doesn’t understand what he’s meant to do, or who he’s meant to find, but he’s already found six of the people he’s meant to find within the span of a few minutes.

The paper burns in his hand once again and Woobin shows up on the paper, after Jungmo and before Wonjin. He looks up and immediately sees someone walking up the stairs. Allen feels a pull from the boy who walks up the stairs and he runs towards him.

“Allen!?” He ignores the call of his name in favour of running up the stairs, grabbing onto the stranger’s arm.

“Hello?” The stranger questions, obviously confused at who this random person grabbing his arm is.

“Seo Woobin?” Allen asks, and the name falls perfectly out of his mouth, as if he’s known Woobin for years.

“Uh, yeah? Do I know you?”

“No? I think?” Allen’s confused even himself at this point. “Your name is on this piece of paper, I think it’s important.”

“Oh.”

There’s an awkward silence between the two, and Allen’s eyes can’t stay glued to a single spot on Woobin’s face. His soft but stern face is blank, showing not much emotion. There’s not much else that defines Woobin as Woobin, but his cheeks puff out like he has clouds stuffed there.

“Yeah, uh, sorry for bothering you.”

“No, it’s ok, I’m just about to meet Seongmin then Minhee, would you like to come?”

“Uh, sure?” Something about meeting this Seongmin and then this Minhee is important to whatever Allen is trying to accomplish with the little note he’s still hanging onto. Maybe Woobin feels this is important too.

They slowly make their way up the stairs and the awkward silence between the two is back. It’s understandable, they are complete strangers after all, right?

“Allen!” His name is called out once again and he stops, turning around to find his best friends and Hyeongjun and Taeyoung there as well.

He stops and waits for the six of them to catch up to him and Woobin.

“Where are you going? Who is this?” Serim asks questioningly, but Allen shrugs his shoulders.

“This is Woobin,” he says, “You need to come with us as well, all six of you.”

“We have class though?” Taeyoung speaks up hesitantly, as if scared to speak up to Allen.

“I think this is more important, Youngtae.” The nickname slips out before Allen can register it himself.

“How did you know that? Only Hyeongjun calls me that.”

“I…” Allen doesn’t know, “I think we all know each other, somehow.”

“I’ve never seen any of you in my life,” Woobin says, “Why do you say that?”

“This paper,” Allen sticks his hand out that holds the find them note with all their names engraved onto the paper. “This paper has our names on it, I think I’m only missing two.”

“It might be Seongmin and Minhee, let’s go.”

The group of seven climb the stairs and eventually reach the roof.

It’s a clear day, not a cloud in the sky and the sun is shining brightly over the roof. There’s a boy that stands away from the entrance of the roof, he’s leaning on the railing the encloses the roof, so no stupid kid can fall off.

The boy’s hair is black, but it sparkles in the sunlight causing Allen to wince.

“Seongmin!” Woobin calls out and Allen’s hand burns once again.

Seongmin. is now engraved after Taeyoung’s name with a full stop after it, showing Allen that there’s only one more person for Allen to find.

The air on the roof is clean, fresh, and Allen can almost taste that sweet taste of freedom that he so desperately wishes to have.

“Ah, Woobin,” Seongmin speaks, and his voice is very high pitched, if Allen could place how high his voice is on a keyboard, he’d shove it to at least a C5, maybe even a D5 (which is pretty high, especially for a teenage boy, he honestly still sounds like a child). “Who are these people?”

“I don’t know, but they’re really important right now Seongmin, we have to go find Minhee now, do you know where he is?”

“I think he’s at the lake in the middle of the forest, our parents are laying into him a lot lately, and his grades are going down because of it.”

“Oh, then we better get to him quickly.”

Allen can sympathise with Minhee. It’s hard living up to expectations, he’s heard stories from Serim, Jungmo and Wonjin about their parents expecting them to be better than the top students (even when it’s a bit too unattainable, and should be happy that they aren’t failing).

The amount of conversations the four of them have had on the thought of running away and being free is uncountable at this point.

The (now eight) of them start their trek to that lake that rests beautifully in the centre of a big forest that’s about a half-an-hour walk from their school.

Escaping school was a lot easier than they thought and soon enough they’re on their way to meet Minhee at the lake.

They all make quiet chit-chat on the way, and Allen finds out other facts about Woobin, Seongmin, Taeyoung and Hyeongjun, and that they all share the same sentiment of wanting to run away for a better life.

They eventually come towards the forest and enter it. The rustling of the leaves fill up the empty spaces and pauses in their sentences.

When they reach the lake they can see a boy sitting cross legged in front of the edge.

“Minhee!” Woobin calls out the attention of the boy who sits and he turns around, waving the other eight over. When Allen gets to Minhee the paper in his hand burns. He drags it up and he can see that Minhee is placed between Wonjin and Hyeonjun’s names.

“Hey.” Minhee says and he stands up.

The height of Minhee is impressive, very impressive, and he’s at least a head taller than Allen. (Why does everyone seem to be giants around Allen? This is a question he’ll never know the answer to.) His hair is black, similar to Seongmin’s, but it’s much longer, almost reaching his shoulders. Allen thinks it suits Minhee’s handsome face and if he didn’t know any better, he'd assume Minhee was a model from his astonishing looks.

“Took you all long enough.”

“Huh? What—” But before Allen can question him more, there’s a bright light that erupts from Wonjin’s bracelet and suddenly Allen can’t see, covering his eyes from the light, as if he’s scared he’s going to go blind.

When Allen can see again, the world looks exactly the same, but the paper in his hand burns, more intensely this time, and Allen flips the paper over to see more words engraved in the back.

kang minhee: my definition of perfect.

i really believe that there’s nothing this boy can’t do. i mean, he’s kang minhee, he’s got it all, talent, brains, visuals, height, he’s literally the definition of perfect and if you can’t see that then you must be blind. if i’m totally being honest, he’s the reason i’m living. i think a lot about what i’d be doing if he wasn’t here for me anymore and the only thought that comes to me is dead. it’s morbid, i know, but it’s true, i literally feel like i can’t live without him. he’s gotten me through so many rough patches, so it’s hard to see my life without him. he makes me feel loved, and happy to be alive. even when life, and school becomes too much for me, i can think of minhee and i immediately have a smile on my face. i’ve watched him grow up, from that little baby i first saw him as a year and a half ago, to now, where he excels at everything he does and there’s nothing he can’t do. i look at him and i get all giddy inside. i look foreword to seeing his stunning face the next day, and when i wake up. i want to be close to him, i want to be someone he can count on when he’s sad and unhappy. i want to tell him everyday that i love and support him, and i always will, it’s never going to change. i hope minhee knows how loved he is today, he deserves to hear it, he really does. he’s improved so much and i’m so fucking proud of where he is today. you can’t look at minhee and not fall in love with the dude. you can’t see his talents and not fall in love with him. this is minhee’s world and we’re all living in it at this point. his place in cravity is an important one, the way he supports them unconditionally and the way cravity gives that back to him. minhee is one of the purest people i know. he’s a simple boy and he doesn’t ask for much in return, but he literally deserves the world. i feel like in cravity he’s so so loves and i couldn’t ask for more. i’m so happy they’ve all stuck around minhee and given him so much love throughout the years to show he really is the perfect person and he deserves to know it. he deserves to know how much love he deserves, from not only cravity, but luvity as well. i’m so happy to be spending this day celebrating minhee’s birthday. i remember last year i forgot about it and i felt so bad for it 😭 but this year, i am here and i’m prepared!! i hope the x1 members are congratulating him too on his special day, it only seems right, they’ve seen minhee grow as much as he has as well. i’m crying a lot right now, this whole message is bringing up all the reasons i love minhee, and it’s honestly too much to count. there’s so much to love about him and nothing to hate (except that he can barely update us 😡 bro,,, it isn’t that hard 😭) i think i can say that i’m one of minhee’s biggest supporters, because i’ve never stopped loving that boy since the first time i laid eyes on him. people may say my constant talking about him is “annoying” and deep down i believe it, i really do. but it’s hard for that to come up when my mind doesn’t stop going “minhee minhee minhee” without thinking much of anything else. he’s living rent free in my mind and there’s nothing else i want from him, he can stay there forever 🥰 i’m so thankful for whatever life choices, or choices i made in my past life that made me meet minhee in this time, in this life. he’s the only one for me. i’d call him my soulmate if i believed in that and actually had romantic feelings for him, but i dont :’) and it doesn’t matter. you can still love and support someone without feeling the need to actually fall in love with them to become a true fan or some shit like that. but i’m glad people actually think i’m really and truely in love with him, because it just shows that i really do do my best as a nadeuldan, that i talk about him and support him so much, that people really do believe i’m truely in love with him. i hope today, especially, that he has the perfect day - it’s his birthday after all. even me, i feel like i’m on cloud nine despite it not being my birthday, all because it’s minhee’s day. i never thought i’d be celebrating someone’s birthday as hard as i plan on celebrating minhee’s, but here we are. i don’t think anyone or anything is going to bring my mood down today, i truely believe it, because my love for minhee rivals nothing, it’s clear that minhee’s going to win. it’s minhee’s birthday today, and i’m so glad that his parents decided that they were going to have a child, because otherwise, i wouldn’t have gotten kang minhee. if there’s something i’ve learnt about kang minhee ever since i first got to know him, it’s that he’s my definition of perfect and the reason i get up everyday. i hope he truely has an amazing day today, he deserves more than anyone to have an amazing birthday. he deserves to rest and to have a relaxing day, he’s earned it. i hope cravity, his friends and family are able to celebrate minhee’s birthday with him to let him know how loved he is. i’d love to tell him in person, and i really do hope i get to tell him one day. i’ve said so much that i’m actually surprised that i still have things i want to talk about, but i think i’ll leave it here. thank you for listening to me rant about how much i love minhee 🥰

‘obliviate’ by lovelyz is so different from what they have in the past, but it is so good. lovelyz really took “horrorlyz” to a new level. when we first got the announcement that they were finally having a comeback with something different to what they were used to doing i didn’t really understand the significance of that statement. the first teaser came out and i thought “wow, this is really happening, after so long we’re finally getting a lovelyz comeback.” i was highly disappointed in woollim not giving us a full album, but after listening to the album, i couldn’t be more happier with what i received. i would have much preferred the full album, but we got a lovelyz comeback and that’s all that matters to me.

let me start with the second track and title track, ‘obliviate’. the mv still has the same lovelyz i know, just with the horror concept. they’re still the beautiful, elegant women who still manage to knock my socks off with their vocals. sujeong really slayed this era, he red hair made everything come together. jiae dyed her hair blonde, and yein cut her hair to join the woollimz short haired gang with chaewon and eunbi. soojung’s purple hair was also a massive punch to my gut. overall their styling for this comeback was so so pretty and matched the concept and their style as lovelyz. jiyeon and myungeun’s vocals still stand out so much and are just as pretty as i remembered. despite it being their first time doing something like this, it was perfect, they were perfect, everything came together so nicely. the whole fantasy concept they had was so dreamy and perfect. i keep talking about how perfect the concept is, but i really can’t stop talking about it. i’m really and truely in love. mijoo’s part that leads into sujeong leading the last chorus is everything. everything comes to light and shit gets burnt. i honestly don’t know what else to say about this mv, i don’t know if i could tell you simply in words what this mv is about and you just need to watch it and experience the beauty of it for yourself. you will not be disappointed with the mv, trust me. the song is what truely brings out the beauty of this mv. the girls’ voices have never sounded this beautiful before. it wasn’t their usual “lovelyz” style, but they certainly made the concept theirs. that’s the beauty of the eight of them, anything they do turns into a lovelyz concept, that’s how good they are at what they do. they’re idols. it’s not my favourite title track, (i don’t think any lovelyz title track can beat ‘that day’, ‘ah-choo’ and ‘for you’, those three songs have sentimental value to me, so it’s going to be pretty hard), but it’s definitely up there, very high up there.

i’m going to move back up to the first track now. ‘unforgettable’ is the “intro” track and very very common in woollim artists’ albums. (the one time it didn’t happen was sunggyu’s first album.) it introduced us to what ‘obliviate’ so it is very reminiscent to ‘obliviate’ as it should be, so i don’t think there’s much to say other than it perfectly displays what ‘obliviate’ is all about before we get the whole song.

the third and fourth tracks ‘dream in a dream’ and ‘never, secret’ respectively is what i’d title as “lovelyz style.” the dreaminess of those songs make me feel like i’m going back to early lovelyz days. the chorus of ‘dream in a dream’ have light ‘aya’ vibes and as ‘aya’ is literally my favourite b-side it’s nice to feel comforted by ‘dream in a dream’. it certainly makes me feel like i’m dreaming, it let’s me escape and feel comforted by lovelyz soft voices flowing through my speakers or headphones. ‘never, secret’ also makes me feel like i’m floating, it immediately stuck to me when i first listened to it and i can’t wait for it to return back to me when i’m listening to the album. it’s definitely my favourite b-side from this album and i don’t think it’s going to change.

the fifth track ‘memories’ has the potential to be a hard hitting song, but it’s not, and it compliments their voices and the album so well. the high notes in this song are so mesmerising to listen to (like the whole album, but there’s something about this song that gets me), and i will listen to just the high notes if i could.

the last track ‘worry dolls’ gave me so much ‘good night like yesterday’ vibes and it made me so happy to hear the vibes of their first ever released song as “lovelyz” be heard in the last track of this godsend of an album. it’s so nice to get to ‘worry dolls’ and have a break from what i’m doing and just feel stress free for three minutes. ‘good night like yesterday’ has always been a comfort song of mine and to have ‘worry dolls’ in this album is beautiful. the airiness of the song with the addition of the girls’ airy and light voices create the perfect space that makes me feel so comfortable. this is definitely becoming one of my comfort songs.

overall, this album was so well rounded. all songs complimented each other and when i changed from track to track i never felt like it was too sudden. i think out of every lovelyz album, this was the nicest one to listen to all the way through, and it felt like i was watching a very well planned and thought out movie or tv show. none of these songs ended up my favourite lovelyz title track or b-side, but as a whole, this album is definitely my favourite among lovelyz’ discography. to all the members, soojung, jisoo, myungeun, mijoo, yein, sujeong, jiyeon and jiae, i’m so happy that this album is finally out. it was so worth the wait. so, so worth it to get to see how pretty this whole album was. the girls made everything work in their favour, whether it sounded their sound or not, because they’re lovelyz, and there’s nothing they can’t do. seeing them change to this type of concept made me a bit skeptical, but after listening to the album and watching the mv, i can definitely say that they fucking owned this era. i’m so proud of them and i hope lovelinesses can break more lovelyz records this comeback. here’s to a successful comeback with lovelyz and ‘unforgettable’!!!!!!

i need to talk about realize for a moment. i’m so emotional over it it’s not even funny. i thought this was going to be my favourite track and it is, there’s no doubt about that, i’m crying right now over how pretty it is, i just can’t believe that this actually exists, and i can listen to the whole song now. this is definitely going onto the list of my comfort songs. the lyrics are so pretty, so mesmerising. they make me feel like i’m important to cravity, like they are to me. i can’t stop crying whenever it comes on. i love it so fucking much.

the whole album is fucking amazing. i’m still not entirely with the chorus of ‘sunrise’, but it’s growing on me. ‘believer’ grew on me a fuck ton, i love listening to it and it makes me excited for it to come on again. ‘breathing’,,,,, perfect, everything i expected and more. it’s a sentimental song, like ‘realize’, and it’s so pretty to listen to. ‘hot air balloon’ was exactly how i predicted. it was airy, nice, cute, a breath of fresh air. it had a subtle hint of ‘cloud 9’, but other than that it was it’s own song and i could tell it apart from the rest. ‘ohh ahh’ 😳 this was a ride. it fuckin’ slaps though, so i can excuse that it’s for the straights ❤️ i’m kinda happy they have a dance for this and hopefully they will promote it, ‘cause i enjoy it so much. and now, ‘flame’, it definitely exceeded my expectations. the mv teaser and album preview did not prepare me for the attack 😭 the mv was nothing like ‘break all the rules’ and there was so much going on. where they on MARS??? are they robots??? what the hell is happening 😭 don’t get me started on the dance, it’s so cool??????? those feet movements???? the dance is definitely a lot harder than ‘break all the rules’ was, but this dance seems a lot more fun to dance to, i already have some of the movements stuck in my head. serim and allen’s raps,,,,, don’t get me started on how COOL they sounded, allen’s second rap verse is so nice to listen to, and to hear serim high-toned rapping, it’s such a nice sound to listen to. jungmo bias wrecking me the whole time T____T not funny jungmo. minhee looked so pretty, his hair, his piercings, his voice ㅠㅠ minhee managed to wedge his way more into my heart with this song. woobin’s notes???? i knew he could sing, but damn,,, he blew me the fuck away, not going to lie, his line “빛을 향해 날아가 (flying towards the light)” made me kinda cry over how NICE it sounded coming from his mouth. seongmin looks so mature in this, it seems like his voice is finally getting deeper as well T__T he’s so pure normally, but him in ‘flame’ made me think otherwise. his BRIDGE. i’m definitely NOT ok with what went on there... TAEYOUNG. HAS. LINES. it’s so nice to hesr him more than once in their title track. his HAIR, was literally all the colours of the rainbow, he does it for the gays 🏳️‍🌈 hyeongjun was so nice to watch. the way he danced and sung so fluidly,,, he made me do double takes constantly, he definitely knows how to be mature when he needs to be... the mv was so aesthetically pleasing to watch. it was so clear and i could see how beautiful each individual member was. there was so much going on,,, i couldn’t focus on just one member at a time. the visuals in this video was insane, and i couldn’t break down the mv even if i wanted to. it’s a masterpiece, and definitely something i’d recommend everyone to watch.

i’m so happy with how their first comeback turned out, it was so pleasing to listen to and it’s a mv i will always go back to watch, no matter how far into the future we are, or how many comebacks have gone by since ‘flame’ was released, definitely giving the album and mv a whole ass 10000000/10

cravity. that’s it. cravity. i’m so overwhelmed with happiness. it’s so fucking good. no amount of teasers could have prepared me for what i’ve just heard. i was so not prepared for ‘break all the rules’ to be like that. i’m so in love it’s not even funny. it’s been so long since i’ve seen minhee and hyeongjun on stage and i couldn’t be happier. wonjin and jungmo are finally getting their chance to shine and i can’t. they’re so perfect, i’m so happy for them. i’m so happy for every member of cravity.

SERIM - our leader, serim. i was nothing short of enamoured at how amazing your rap skills were. to be honest, i was so enamoured that i didn’t even realise that allen was a rapper and i think that’s the funny thing. i can already see you shooting really fast up my bias list it’s not even funny. you’re going to be an amazing leader, i can already see it. i can’t wait to see how you lead cravity, and i can’t wait to see more of your amazing rapping. 

ALLEN - not going to lie, thought you were a vocalist at first, but finally getting over serim made me see that you were a rapper, but it just made me enamoured by you. it’s not everyday a foreigner can rap in another language and i think you did do it perfectly. your english is so good i’m crying. i know you do come from los angeles, but that doesn’t stop me from crying over how pretty it is. i can’t help but feel like you’re mad at me for some reason, but i hope that changes in the future!

JUNGMO - my god have you grown up jungmo. i’ve watched you from the start of pdx and my god was it a wild ride. i’ve watched you grow into the person you are today, and it makes me really happy knowing i’ve seen you grow into the adult you are today. i was not expecting you to start break all the rules, but it was a very welcomed surprise. can we just talk about your hair for a little bit? it’s so pretty i can’t even begin to start on how it makes my heart go dugeun dugeun. from now, let’s walk on a flowery path jungmo. it’s going to be easier now.

WOOBIN - i knew you were an amazing vocalist but not this good? if i knew this is how powerful your vocals are, i would’ve loved you harder from the moment i first saw you and your “weekies”. you’re perfect and i hope you know that very well woobin. hearing you in break all the rules just makes me want to love you even more than i did before if that’s even possible?? your vocals really bring the song to life, and the way you handled it on your debut stage? chef’s kiss. delicious. i love you woobin, and if i knew this before, i would’ve loved you harder earlier. 

WONJIN - just like jungmo, you’ve gone through so much wonjin and i’ve been there since day one. holy fuck have you grown up. i’m so happy that i was able to be there from day one to now to watch you grow up like this. from pdx, to cravity, you’ve really made a place in my heart wonjin. i hope you walk on a flowery path from now on too, wonjin, i would hate for anything to happen to you, after everything that you’ve gone through. things will be better wonjin, i know it. 

MINHEE - dont get me started on you, minhee. you are single handedly the most important person in my life, it’s not even funny at this point. just like jungmo and wonjin, i’ve watched you from the very beginning (yes, even when you were chosen to rap. i refuse to watch that even to this day), and you’ve grown up so beautifully, it’s so satisfying to watch. from pdx, to x1, and finally, to cravity, it’s been such a long ride hasn’t it? but you’re finally here now, and that’s all that matters in the end. please don’t be afraid to share anything with us. i know for sure, that for years to come, i will be one of your number one supporters. i love you, so much more than you know minhee. finally, in cravity, you’re getting so much more than what you got in x1, and if i’m being honest, i prefer you being here where you’re more loved, where your voice and talent is more loved.

HYEONGJUN - you’ve gone through so much shit hyeongjun, but hey, you’re still here today, and you’re doing so amazingly, i couldn’t be prouder. you should be proud of yourself too hyeongjun. like jungmo, wonjin and minhee, i’ve been here with you from the start and i will be with you from now on, forever. let’s live forever shall we hyeongjun? you have taken a spot in my heart as an important person and i couldn’t be happier that it’s you, hyeongjun. from pdx, to x1, to now, in cravity, i’ve watched you grow so much, and it scares me how mature you are now. everything will be better now. 

TAEYOUNG - this is the first time i’m hearing you sing, or seeing you perform and i’m so proud of you. look where all that practice has gotten you. i saw you so much in the music video and that makes me so happy. you are one of my three biases in cravity and i’m so happy that it’s you. your voice is so pretty and so are you. like, how can a seventeen year old look so pretty??????? you’re the prettiest seventeen year old, ever, taeyoung and my jaw drops everytime i see you in my field of vision. i couldn’t have asked for a better bias. thank you taeyoung. i love you so so much.

SEONGMIN - holy fuck has this been a long time coming seongmin. i’ve looked at you so many times, but this is the first time i’ve ever seen you perform, and holy fuck was i impressed. i’ve known you since last year, but only ever saw you move for the first time on the eighteenth of march, 2020. let’s hope that i keep seeing you move for years to come. what i didn’t expect was your fucking voice? it’s so high? it suits you really well, but i’ll still be surprised every time i hear your open your mouth. i love you seongmin. even though i felt i didn’t hear you much, i’m probably not listening hard enough, but i hope more of your voice gets shown in the future. 

TOP OF THE CHAIN - fuck. that’s all i have to say. starting the album with this song is just spectacular. i first listened to this album with my headphones on, and my god was it a good choice. top of the chain really knows how to exist, it’s so stunning. i did not want the song to end. i want to put it on repeat and never stop playing the song. 

BREAK ALL THE RULES - let’s break all the rules cravity!! this has to be the first debut i’ve ever been this excited for. before the mv even fucking started i was already crying. when it did start, i knew i was in for one hell of a treat. from serim, to allen, to jungmo, to woobin, to wonjin, to minhee, to hyeongjun, to taeyoung, and to seongmin, i’m really in love. the music video was stunning, again, i couldn’t stop crying. i want to listen to this on repeat for the rest of my fucking life. i’m finally seeing minhee get the lines and the centre position he deserves. finally seeing wonjin, jungmo, hyeongjun and minhee together again, is really a sight to behold. this song and music video are all i could have ever asked for. thank you. thank you produces and the mv director for this beauty. 

JUMPER - jumper fucking jumper, it was produced by jooheon and i couldn’t have been happier. (half expecting changkyun to pop out of nowhere with his “i am what i am” bullshit.) it sounds so much like a monsta x song, but i enjoyed it none the less. it’s such a hype song that i just can’t help but bop my head to it. 

BLACKOUT - another hype song, but i am so not mad. i’m normally not into there being so many hype songs in one album, but i think because it’s cravity i am ok with it... it’s such a good song and i’m just very in love with it. (those synths!!!!!)

낯섦 (STAY) - “you’re everything i need, because you’re everything i need” 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 I’M LOVE THEM. it’s a lot softer than the first four songs but i’m so happy for it!!! it’s definitely one of my favourites from the album! it’s just so! pretty! the bridge! pretty pretty pretty. 

CLOUD 9 - i’m literally on cloud nine with this song. it just lifts my spirits so much, i feel so much happier when this song starts playing. it sounds so refreshing. if i was sad, i know this song would cheer me the fuck up. the “only thing i need is you” in the rap is so precious. they really do love us, and we haven’t known all nine of them for a long time. 

별 (STAR) - BAL. 👏🏻 LARD. 👏🏻 THANK YOU. the fact that it was named star makes it even better. i can really feel the love that pours out from them in this song. i love them so much. they really did shoot up my bias list. i was not expecting it. star is so pretty and i hope i don’t lose it over time because it’s the last of the album. the put a lot into this song and i can feel it. 

everything about this debut was fucking perfect and i can’t stop thinking about it. i’m not going to stop listening to this album ever. not even when they have their comeback. i’m so happy with the members and the whole entire album, my heart fills so full around them. this is the only time i’m going to say it, but thank you starship. for everything you’ve done with cravity. from the songs, to the member choices, you really did amazingly for this group.

this one is for hyunbin!! i miss you baby and i hope you’re doing well!! i’m going to miss seeing you, it was unfortunate that we couldn’t see you debut with minhee, hyeongjun, jungmo and wonjin, but i wouldn’t have gotten one of the other members. i hope whatever you do in the future leads you to success hyunbin!!
