  ꙰  𓈒 ˙ 𓍼 RAVANA’S DISCOGRAPHY : A DEEP DIVE

tw. flashing lights, photosensitive epilepsy triggers

RAVANA debuted in 2013 under HONEYMOON AVENUE with the hit single ROCK ME. The boy band went onto become the first and only successful artist under the label aside from the collaboration group TROUVAILLE (2016) to which they ultimately lost the rights to following a lawsuit in 2018. Ravana was met with what seemed like instantaneous success, angsty teenagers eating up the song like hot cakes. Honeymoon was completely shocked regarding their reception, genuinely not expecting them to take off as soon as they did—or take off at all. Ravana and their debut in it’s entirety was a shot in the dark. While all of the boys worked on the song, ICHIRO and producer ADDY were largely at work in the studio.

In 2014, Ravana released a major milestone within their early career, their first mini album CHRYSALIS, with the title track CAN WE DANCE? that was considered a chart monster at its prime. The album also featured promoted and popular tracks like NOBODY COMPARES and THEY DON’T KNOW. The tracks were even bigger than their debut and could be heard any and everywhere: on commercials, movies, YouTube videos, at the mall, the social media’s of youth all over, everywhere. Classified as pop perfection amongst fans, this era introduced the concept of the FRONT BOY. In Ravana, depending on the era, the lead would alternate between members, or as the fans nicknamed it: THE FRONT BOY. During Chrysalis, Kyrie was the front boy, which proved to be a smart move when his popularity skyrocketed among the fandom. He was easily the most biased member. Fans seemed to love him, favoring his mysterious persona, considering virtually nothing about his pre-debut days was publicized or talked about like his bandmates. The music video also gained extra attention when NATALIA HWANG fresh off of the set of her teen film BEACH HOUSE was casted as the love interest. With her following, she only further popularized the band’s video. Although, shipping theories went wild alongside this. This was also the era that sparked an onslaught of recognition from TUMBLR, the boys even being advertised by viewers as Tumblr Icons. The album sits at over 1 MILLION SALES.

Riding off of the success of their previous release, Ravana came out with the single CONFIDENT in 2014. Confident was heavily praised for it’s slick, pop-r&b sound, feeding into the image already surrounding them. RAVE’S were huge fans of their new sound, raving (no pun intended) about it’s darker tones and blush-inducing lyrics. Earning Front Boy for a second era in a row, Kyrie began to pick up his pen and get to work on Confident. He both wrote and produced Confident, and you could tell by how different the sound was compared to distributions prior.

FRONT BOY: KYRIE

In 2015, Ravana released the Extended Play DREAM DAZE. Of course, Dream Daze went onto be an utter success, selling over 2MILLION units in total. The era of Dream Daze had two Front Boy’s and was generally lead by Ichiro in PERFECT and Kyrie in SOMEBODY TO YOU. The music video for Somebody to You had a special appearance from POISON’S HAYOON, which of course sparked dating rumors and shippers to go wild. Some shippers having insufferable debates about who was the better ship: Natalia and Kyrie, Hayoon and Kyrie, or Eunki and Jamie. There were even a slew of in-group shippers, pitting pairs like Eunki and Jamie and Ichiro and Kyrie (if they weren’t being shipped together, they were being pit against each other) against one another. Aside from these odd antics, the band went onto have a commercial success on their hands, only furthering their path.

FRONT BOY: ICHIRO / KYRIE

2016 came their biggest release yet, with the release of their first full-length album OUT OF TIME. Preceding the albums release, a pre-release single was put out by the title of TREAT YOU BETTER, which was later featured as a track on the work. Treat You Better sent fans into an orbit, constantly tweeting about how excited they are for D-DAY, even starting the semi-viral trend: EVERYBODY KNOWS WHERE THEY WERE WHEN OUT OF TIME DROPPED, followed by either a funny picture of their current situation while they stalk the release of the album, or a chance to take a cute selfie directed at Ravana, desperately hoping for a Y/N moment.

Speaking of Y/N moments, this era sparked the infamous ever-controversial recurring occasion of KIMOON flirting with fans. He regularly would call them pretty during fan-meeting events, comment on pictures, and talk to them almost as if they were his girlfriends or partner. There were mixed opinions about this.

When Out of Time finally dropped, you bet the internet probably broke for the first few hours. I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER is probably still their most popular song to date racking in over 500 MILLION VIEWS. The track included a feature from TROUVAILLE’S BRIAR, who had just debuted not too long before the collaboration. If the tracks on Chrysalis were everywhere, then the tracks on Out of Time were like the plague. I Know What You Did Last Summer constantly topped charts alongside the side tracks like WILDFIRE and APOCALYPSE. Out of Time went onto sell the most units compared to all other releases, sitting at over 7 MILLION SALES.

FRONT BOY: N/A ... KYRIE

Ravana took MUSICAL.LY by storm in 2017 with the single PERSONAL. The music video featured an appearance from WITH LOVE!’S ICHIKA as the love interest. While the song was a virtual hit, the boys weren’t too fond of its generic sound. KYRIE never went a moment without mentioning his disdain for the song and actually protested against its release. However, they redeemed themselves in the summer, coming back with the Extended Play PASSIONFRUIT. The song was mostly written and produced by Kyrie and Kimoon. This came with another trend created by fans, naming summer a “PASSIONFRUIT SUMMER.”

FRONT BOY: EUNKI / KIMOON

Ravana geared up with their first mini album in 2018 by the title NO CALLER ID. This year brought on a fan favorite era for the quintet. Kyrie wrote and produced majority of the album and stated that all releases this year were some of his favorites for the band. FRIENDS performed incredibly well on charts and with the public. No Caller ID is still regarded as one of their best albums musically and statistically. Their second release came in the later part of 2018 with the mini album POLARIZED. This was also a Kyrie-written album, also a fan-favorite album. SWIM and Friends were constantly battling for top 5 spots on the charts.

FRONT BOY: KYRIE

2019 came the release of the single DOUBLE BACK. The song was excessively popular with the masses, peaking at #1 on charts and garnering a plethora of streams. Double Back even had a viral dance trend on TIKTOK. This song was a very collaborative piece of work, the studio process being their favorite session ever. They filmed the recording process and showed that this era was probably the most fun they’d had working on a project even down to the music video. Although, around this era the boys ventured into solo activities, working on projects of their own more-so than group promotions. This lead to nearly two years of musical silence from the band as a whole.

FRONT BOY: KYRIE

After their unofficial musical hiatus as a band, Ravana came back in 2021 with the single NOBODY BUT YOU FT. CHARMEINE. The collaboration was a huge deal with the public, considering PINKETTES’ Charmeine was already embroiled in dating rumors with KYRIE. The fact that Kyrie wrote the lyrics for the song only fueled the rumors, alongside the Instagram lives they did together and other questionable interactions that they swore were just platonic and delusional fans warding off the theory that their fave could possibly be attracted to a pretty girl that isn’t them. Aside from this, the single was a smashing success, in spite of it’s minimal official promotion.

Chapter 2

An Unexpected Palace

Keita and I exited the plane excitedly. We were two teens in another country, fulfilling our dream. As we moved to the busier part of the airport, Keita grabbed my hand to make sure I wouldn't get lost. We finally made it to the exit where a staff from the School was sent to pick us up and make sure we made it safely. We got into the designated SUV and off to the school we went.

"K-Keita... I'm nervous."

"What's wrong baby?"

"We're not gonna be able to be together all the time and I'm gonna have to dorm with someone new and they're gonna be like two years older than me."

"Awh, you'll be ok. I'll hang out with you whenever you need ok? Even if it's in the middle of the night."

"B-but I dont wanna bother you."

"You wont baby. Just promise me you'll text me if you need me ok?"

"Ok, I will."

"Good."

As we pulled up to the school building my jaw dropped. It was HUGE! I definitely didn't expect a whole ass palace. The staff lead us to the office of the headmistress.

"Hello. I assume you are Keita Terazono and Akahana Ezihe Adams? What an interesting name you have young lady. Oh wow... smart too, I see here you skipped a grade. You're also a very talented dancer hmm? Well, we'll get you two to your dorms right away."

A male staff appeared and told Keita to follow him to the boys dorms and a woman staff led me to my dorm. I was super nervous for what my roommates were going to be like. Hopefully they were nice and wouldn't mind that I was almost two years younger... maybe more if they mixed grades. 

"So you will have three other roommates. The rule is typically five girls to a dorm. I know it sounds like a lot, but there are five separate bedrooms in your dorm room. Hope you all make friends!" 

And with that the staff left me with a key to the dorm. I opened the door slowly and quietly, hoping not to scare the girls. I figured they would be in here since school hadn't started yet. We still had three days before the first day. As I walked in, the girls turned to look at me. They were all sitting on the couch, talking and whatever else.

"H-hi, I'm Akahana. I'm your new roommate."

"Oh heyyy, we heard we were getting another roommate! I'm Hayoon, nice to meet you! What grade are you in?"

"I'm in 10th, but I skipped a grade. I'm only 14."

"Oh my gosh, you're a baby. Wow... you must be really smart."

"I-I guess I am. I wasn't really planning on skipping a grade but my best friend signed up for the exchange program so I did too. It's only a high school though so I had to work ahead if I wanted to go."

"Aww, that's really cute, you must really be close with your best friend if you both moved from another country."

"Yeah, we're childhood bestfriends. He started out as my babysitter, but then we just got super close."

"Oh wow... baby sitter?"

"Yeah, he's two years older than me."

"Ah so he's Jiwoo's age. Well, we'll let you get settled in before we bombard you with questions."

"O-oh ok thank you."

I entered the room that didn't have a name plate on the front of it and saw a cute pink themed room. It had a big bed, two dressers, a big closet, and a cozy desk. I opened the closet and saw the school uniforms already hanging inside of it. The iconic yellow of one of the most prestigious dance school in Korea shone brightly before my eyes.

I think I'm gonna have fun here...

CHO HAYOON

age: 98 liner company: higher records position: vocal/dance trainee traits: (+) independent, firey, confident (-) impulsive, whiny, self-centered  played by: tianna

She didn’t mean to get arrested. And she hadn’t actually gone to jail or anything– only had to do community service for a few months. All Hayoon had done was gotten caught vandalizing a wall when she was thirteen, spray can in her hand and paint all over her. She was literally caught red handed. And now that was following her around everywhere.

She’d always loved dancing– Hayoon was an incredible dancer, partial to hip hop and contemporary. She was just an all-around artsy girl, really. She could paint and draw. Anything to express herself. She’d seen walls as just blank canvases, but that backfired on her when she got caught.

It was like an evil shadow lurking around every corner. When she’s gotten arrested, she got disqualified for dance competitions. She auditioned for a bunch of companies, but they didn’t want anything to do with her. Hayoon had been about to give up completely before stumbling upon Higher when she was sixteen– the company made from outcast idols and people who no other companies wanted. It was her saving grace. They picked her up, and she started training hard with them.

She was good, and dedicated, and definitely ready to debut when Higher debuted Rewind, but again, her past mistakes came to haunt her. Alpha said the public wasn’t ready for her in a group yet, and she needed more time to toughen up before they debuted her, to grow a thicker skin so she could handle the hate she’d inevitably get. So instead of a girl group with her in it, they were debuting a boy group first. She understood their reasoning for holding her back, but she didn’t like it. Not one bit. All she wanted to do was perform for the world, and her dumb kid self ruined that.

Hayoon can come across bitter, jaded, and blunt, but thats just a shell– the real Hayoon is vulnerable and persistent
