Allen

Allen, born Ma Shih Chuan (馬蒔權), gives CRAVITY one of its cleanest global bridges. Raised between Taipei and Los Angeles before entering the Korean trainee system, he arrived with the kind of bilingual ease and performance discipline that reads instantly in interviews, fan content, and on stage. That international background matters because CRAVITY has always sold itself as a group with domestic structure and export-ready instincts, and Allen sits right in the middle of that equation.

Before debut, Allen spent time under JYP Entertainment in the United States, building a reputation for detail-oriented dance lines and a composed rehearsal style. When he joined Starship Entertainment and moved toward CRAVITY's April 14, 2020 launch, that training translated into something sharper: a rapper-performer who rarely looks rushed, even when the group's choreography gets dense. His stage presence is not loud for the sake of it. He tends to control the frame through precision, posture, and timing.

Inside CRAVITY's catalog, Allen has been part of every major phase, from the debut statement Season 1. Hideout: Remember Who We Are to later releases like Blast Out, Dare to Crave: Epilogue, and 2026's ReDeFINE. He was also part of the lineup that pushed the group through Road to Kingdom: Ace of Ace, a moment that helped reposition CRAVITY as a tighter, more battle-tested performance act. The result is a member page that should be read less as a side profile and more as a record of how Starship's boy-group strategy matured through one of its most reliable all-rounders.
