In a delightful surprise for their Filipino fans, members of the K-pop boy band CRAVITY recently participated in a dance challenge set to the song “GENTO” by P-pop group SB19. This unexpected move came days before CRAVITY‘s first concert in the Philippines, adding to the anticipation and excitement surrounding the event.

In a TikTok video, Hyeongjun and Taeyoung, two members of CRAVITY, showed off their dancing. The video, posted from their label Starship Entertainment‘s practice room, saw them energetically dancing to “GENTO.” The performance was a testament to their talent and a nod to P-pop’s growing global influence.

CRAVITY’s engagement with the “GENTO” dance challenge is part of a larger trend. Other Korean stars, including Minzy from the second-generation girl group 2NE1 (of which the Philippines’ own Sandara Park is a member) and Jacob from The Boyz, took on the “GENTO” challenge too. These interactions highlight the increasing cross-cultural exchanges in the world of pop music.

The band comprises nine members: Allen, Hyeonjun, Jungmo, Minhee, Serim, Seongmin, Taeyoung, Wonjin, and Woobin. They debuted on April 14, 2020, with the title track “Break all the Rules.” At the time their “GENTO” video went viral on TikTok, CRAVITY was preparing a Manila performance as the last stop on their Masterpiece World Tour. 

When they turned up at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City on August 5, they continued to impress their Filipino fans with their charms, talents, and visuals. They kicked off the concert with a rousing rendition of “Get Lifted” and ended with “Colorful.” Member Serim cut a sizzling figure as he danced and sang to their 2022 single “Vivid.”

One of the show’s highlights was when Hyeongjun and Taeyoung led the rest of the group in a quick performance of “GENTO.”
