History

Pre-debut:

Prior to the group's debut, Jungmo, Wonjin, Minhee, and Hyeongjun participated in the show Produce X 101 in 2019, representing Starship Entertainment, along with Moon Hyunbin. In the finale, Jungmo and Wonjin placed at ranks 13 and 19 respectively (without taking into consideration the 'X'-position), missing the cut-off for the show's debut-lineup.[2] However, Minhee and Hyeongjun placed at ranks 10 and 4 respectively, thereby making them members of the debut line-up and members of the group X1. They promoted with the group until their disbandment on January 6, 2020.[3][4]

2020: Debut

Cravity debuted with the extended play Season 1. Hideout: Remember Who We Are on April 14, 2020, which debuted and peaked atop of Gaon's Album Chart. The album is reported to have shipped over 100,000 copies in the month of April 2020, making them the best-selling South Korean rookie artist in 2020, as of August 2020. [5][6]

Moreover, Cravity entered and peaked on the Billboard Social 50 Chart at number 12. They are the fifth fastest South Korean group to enter Social 50, as well as being the only South Korean rookie artist to chart on Billboard's Social 50 in 2020.[7]

On June 17, 2020, Cravity released a music video for their song "Cloud 9", a track previously included in their debut extended play. They subsequently began promotions for this song on Korean music shows. [8][9][10]

On August 5, 2020, Cravity announced they would be making their first comeback with their second extended play Season 2. Hideout: The New Day We Step Into on August 24, 2020 with the title track "Flame". This album will feature lyrics written by members Serim and Allen.[11][12][13]

On August 13, 2020, at the 2020 Soribada Awards, Cravity won the "New Artist Award", their first award since debut.[14]
