K-pop boy group CRAVITY is gearing up for their 8th mini-album ReDeFINE slated for release on April 29. However, member Woobin will only join part of the official promotions due to his commitment to the hit stage musical Romeo & Juliette.
On Thursday, STARSHIP Entertainment issued an official notice explaining the schedule conflict. Woobin currently plays the iconic male lead Romeo in the domestic production. To ensure stable stage quality for both the album comeback and the theatrical run, the agency confirmed he will be absent from select pre-recorded album contents and some broadcast promotions.
“Hello, this is STARSHIP Entertainment.
We would like to sincerely thank all the fans who continuously send their unwavering love and support to CRAVITY.
We would like to provide information regarding member Woobin’s participation in activities for CRAVITY’s 8th EP ‘ReDeFINE,’ scheduled for release on April 29.
Woobin is currently continuing his performances as ‘Romeo’ in the musical ‘Romeo & Juliette.’ Due to preparations and the performance schedule for the musical, we held thorough discussions with the production team, and in consideration of maintaining the quality of the stage, Woobin was unable to participate in some of the content related to this album.
Additionally, due to previously confirmed musical schedules, we ask for your understanding that he may not be able to participate in certain album promotion activities. Details regarding his participation will be announced at a later date depending on the schedule.
We will continue to fully support Woobin so that he can show his best in both CRAVITY’s album activities and his musical performances.
We kindly ask for your warm support and encouragement for all nine members of CRAVITY.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
STARSHIP Entertainment.“
“The decision was made after deep discussions with both the music and musical production teams,” the statement read. “We ask fans for generous understanding as he balances dual activities.”
This marks a new career milestone for Woobin, who has earned acclaim for his vocal stability and acting range since debuting as a musical actor. While full-group performances are anticipated, detailed participation plans will be released based on real-time scheduling adjustments. Fans have expressed strong support for his expanding artistic portfolio.
