CRAVITY Delights Fans with Hilarious Avatar Dating Show on YouTube

CRAVITY, the group sharing the same label as Jang Wonyoung, has brought laughter to fans with their self-produced content.

On October 9th, Starship Entertainment released a video titled 'CRAVITY PARK EP.117 Avatar Dating [Special Hot Vities] l Vity Park 2026' on CRAVITY's official YouTube channel.

In the video, member Hyeongjun took on the role of a planner and orchestrated a hidden camera prank. He controlled an avatar posing as a new stylist to trick the members and observe their reactions. Wonjin and Allen quickly realized it was a prank when the staff member got their names wrong and suddenly bowed deeply. Despite being poked with a safety pin, Serim showed kindness towards the staff. Minhee and Taeyoung displayed their unique variety skills by engaging in conversation with the avatar, while Jungmo and Seongmin tried to avoid the situation by looking for another stylist, providing plenty of laughs.

After the prank, Hyeongjun introduced himself as the PD and writer of 'Hot Vities' and explained the avatar dating concept for Minhee and Allen. Although Minhee and Allen claimed to be close, the other members disagreed, and an awkward atmosphere filled the table when they were left alone. The members joked that they seemed like ex-lovers, reinforcing the humor.

As avatars, Minhee and Allen followed the members' instructions diligently during the date. Minhee sent SOS signals by following commands like 'Raise your cup if it's awkward' and 'Shake your leg if you want to escape,' while also trying to lighten the mood with a love shot. Allen, on the other hand, surprised everyone by refusing to clap when instructed to do so to escape, and even transformed into a waiter, singing and dancing to CRAVITY's song 'Over & Over' to lift the spirits.

Jungmo then entered the scene as the 'catfish' to shake things up. Taking on a bold persona, Jungmo's unscripted actions caught the members off guard. The members then gave increasingly outrageous commands, leading to Minhee eating spaghetti with his fingers. Jungmo eventually succumbed to the members' instructions, adding to the hilarity.

The avatar dating continued with Woobin and Taeyoung. Woobin took on the role of an autonomous avatar with a mukbang feature, providing laughs. Taeyoung proposed a pickled radish Pepero game, expressing his ambition to create a buzz like Jungmo and Wonjin, which resulted in more laughter.

After the dates, Allen and Minhee shared their progress, saying, "We'll go on a ride together soon," and "We've become much closer." Woobin, however, lamented, "All my instructions were the worst," expressing his grievances about the avatar dating. Hyeongjun then teased a more challenging avatar mission, saying, "Now it's time for the real deal. You'll be serving customers as a part-time waiter."
