  • [lastyvesniin] To Ryuichi (230823)

    [Link to original post] Me No I swear I'm writing this because I want to, really Never tried this before Night mode... What a scary fellow Anyway I am in wild [yasaeng] mode, I mean night [yagan] mode right now So I can't distinguish between colors very well But I really wanted to express to you The emotions I felt at the exhibition today So here I am writing. All right then, let's rewind my time today, 'It is now time to depart.....?' Wah-ttah mah this coffee is my style, no acidity at all, perfectly savory; Took a sip of this coffee and went, wattahmah this thing is good Literally no bitterness and went so well with the brownie ㅜ It's funny right, after telling you I was going to express the emotions of this exhibition and whatnot This still counts as emotional yup.. This is a cafe that's right across from Piknic, the exhibition site Looked to be new The owners are kind and it's cozy so I'm willing to go back We reserved for the exhibition at 3pm, but the rain had traffic backed up so I was late//.. I'm sorry Dohyeon So we met at this cafe by 3:30 Used up all the time chatting until 3:59 And climbed up to the exhibition right across! is the story. Babyapple Just like any other day, rabbitlighting. My friend Ohtani, I mean Kim Dohyeon Dohyeon you look pretty here so I'm posting/. If you don't like it I'll take it down tomorrow, scratch head ^~^ (Please don't misunderstand we are friends going back 10 years) Dohyeon likes Ohtani sunbaenim very much When she meets with me she fills up 20 hours talking about Ohtani so sometimes I get confused if I'm meeting with Ohtani sunbaenim or with Dohyeon But still Dohyeon, I like you very much. My friend Ohtani, I mean Dohyeoni ["I will be living with cancer from now on. I am thinking to make just a little more music. I would be grateful if you were to keep watching." - Ryuichi Sakamoto January 2021"] The start of the exhibition Open the curtains at the entrance, and you see this sentence being illuminated by pin lighting. When I read this and then looked around the exhibit the site was not very large and rather cozy And so it felt like I was watching and experiencing by his side the little time that Ryuichi Sakamoto had left with cancer So I had to walk as if something was stuck inside of me with a heavy and stuffy heart ["Bernardo Bertolucci & Paul Bowles 'How many more full moons will I be able to see.' I have turned 70 this year and celebrated the gohui, but I have this thought frequently. Some may remember this line being in the film (1990). It's a film by Bernardo Bertolucci, which I composed music for following (1987). At the end of the film, the original author Paul Bowles appears and says this. "A human being cannot predict its own death, and thinks of life as a spring that never dries. But every event in the world happens perhaps a few times. Even with precious childhood memories, that you may think shaped your life, there's no saying how many more times you will remember them. Four or five times at most. How many more full moons will I be able to gaze at? Maybe twenty times at most. But people believe that opportunities are infinite."'] 'How many more full moons will I be able to see' 'But every event in the world happens perhaps a few times. Even with precious childhood memories, that you may think shaped your life, there's no saying how many more times you will remember them. Four or five times at most.' In a finite time, over some event that may happen a few times at most, I cry as if the entire world would collapse I've lazed around lying down, as if I am a superhuman with infinite time And gotten up thinking 'I really need to pull myself together', thousands of times. Even those are not unlimited actions and emotions. But I live too forgetfully. As if I'm someone who lives on the full moon. With eyes round like full moons, I live on emptily. The forest filled with green, I like. I liked. When the narration ends, you can hear multi-directional sounds, in various languages alternating between each side of the headset, looking at a forest somehow forlorn. It felt as if dark people in a dream were passing by tossing their words here and there... And also as if my tangled and tied thoughts inside of me, unknown even to me were wriggling alive and speaking to me. They were voices that made me listen, blankly. ["The last diaries of Ryuichi Sakamoto May 12, 2021. In the old days, when someone was born, people would laugh, and when someone died, people would weep. In the future, life and existence will become more and more disregarded. Life will become an object of manipulation. It is a happy thing that I will die before seeing such a world. July 31, 2021.

["What a friend is Between friends, there is no problem even if ideologies, principles, or interests differ. Simply someone you can lean on silently. Such people are not many but certainly do exist, and I have felt that that alone makes me a happy person. One such friend is the German artist Carsten Nicolai. Once upon a time, the German artist Joseph Beuys and the Korean artist Nam June Paik grew a friendship that overcame over 8,000 kilometers of distance, from tip to tip of the Eurasian continent. It may be presumptuous to compare ourselves to the two artists, but I believe that my relationship with Carsten resembles that of those two."] A friend Simply someone you can lean on silently. It felt strange to be standing with a friend of 10 years, reading this. On my birthday this year (May 24) I felt sad for some reason When everyone was sending me messages to wish me a happy birthday, I was crying sorrowfully. All I said to Dohyeon was a single phrase, "I'm sad" Dohyeon then FaceTimed me and silently listened to me just sobbing for an hour. And, being my friend after all, she said to me playfully. 'Mah, why don't ya stop crying, you've cried a lot' ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I love you Dohyeonaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!aaaack Thanks to you, there's one more reason to be happy on my birthday ["...battered by the wind, the paint worn off, it is approaching the original state of wood. How will it continue rotting in this way. I think this question is linked also, to how we humans must grow old. In January 2021, after my operation, I issued a comment saying "I will be living with cancer from now on. I am thinking to make just a little more music. I would be grateful if you were to keep watching." The reason why I chose to say 'live with cancer' rather than 'fight cancer' is perhaps because, in a corner of my mind, I had the thought that I could not help this, even if I strained to fight."] Could not be helped, even if strained to fight When his calm (even though I'm sure it's not) interview is over a performance of my favorite song, "Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence", begins He says that he plays one song at a time because an hour-long performance is now too much. Having aged with time layered and layered upon him the time that he created, note by note for those four minutes or so felt so sorrowful. I have this habit of always imagining things from the other person's perspective, and imagining this performance being so difficult now, and how many more times would he be able to play it, made me so so sad. There were quite a few people there, so I leaned on a pillar and flew my tears away(?) I literally let teardrops fly. So the makeup wouldn't smear ㅠㅠ And it was difficult to understand the fact that this coming Christmas, I will listen to this song again, but he was no longer under the same sky So then I whisked tears away again🥷 ["On January 17, 2023, my 71st birthday, my new album was released. After a big operation and long hospital stay in early 2021, having returned to a temporary residence in Tokyo, I regained strength after some time and played around with a synthesizer. With no intent of wanting to make something, I just wanted to feel sound, to my heart's content. This was on March 10. Afterwards, I played the synthesizer and piano keys from time to time, and as if keeping a diary, I recorded those sketches. Unlike other original albums I have released thus far, fundamentally this album is not produced based on some firm concept. It's simply synthesizer and piano sounds, played blandly, contained on a single album; it's nothing more than that. But to me today, such raw music, made without any plans, feels more satisfying. With this, I end my story for now. Ars longa, vita brevis. (Art is long, life is short.)"] Ars longa, vita brevis. 'With this, I end my story for now.' . . . . (Refreshment time) This is a book that I opened up at a bookstore near the exhibition? And right away I saw my favorite scene from the movie which I like And I was so startled and glad. Hehe ["I visited here coincidentally after seeing the Ryuichi Sakamoto exhibition. Made another memory with Dohyeon. -Sooyoung - 08.22"] There was a visitor log so I wrote in it too. Look it up if you happen to be nearby This is not yours, you brat With Ogu. Since you dislike false advertising Some people might ask why I was so touched, but back in that period when things were loud and tough for me, I was struggling with insomnia When I listened to Ryuichi Sakamoto's play, I grew calm and was able to sleep even if late So I am even more passionately grateful and somehow sorrowful. Your play, which I like so much is no longer something I can hear in person But I, who likes your music, has survived like this and on this night that might be a full moon or a dark moon I write this text about you. I am a human being, who never realizes the finiteness of time and perhaps that is why I like your music. Because when I listen to your play, sometimes I grow sad and sometimes I feel warm, and I imagine that for you too, only after many thoughts would you have laid hands on the piano keys. This summer was quite so hot. Today, on the way to see you, it rained and the weather was humid as if to take breath away, and I also forgot to bring an umbrella. And then thanks to you, I got to spend a somewhat early Christmas. You said art is long and life is short, and yet, watching us laying out stories loudly and vibrantly like this - I wonder if you perhaps continue to live on in us. I don't know how cold this winter shall be. How many times heavy snowfall will dizzy us, I have no clue; I don't even know what I will eat tomorrow. There is much unknown, and much to think, and so life is truly a chore but ironically, writing in this manner is very interesting. Okay, leaving behind rambling words now I would like to tell you the words that I truly cannot tell you.ᐟ I hope the winters there are not cold, at least. https://youtu.be/LGs_vGt0MY8 Comments section: Yves: Where is that Ongi friend who said she would read before bed?

    [Link to original post] My eyelids feel heavy But I couldn't fall asleep So I came on the blog And read the comments you have been posting I would feel bad about only receiving There's nothing profound I can give back But I do have a lot of records of pretty fun moments Just like the countless ads you see while scrolling on your phone Please read these just like that, easily [T/N: The following are screenshots from Yves' notes app, with her captions underneath] August 13, 2022, 8:52am Potato salad Sweet potato fries Soda/iced tea +hot bbq, ketchup How come fries are so good When I went on the world tour We had to send in our orders in a hurry each time Because delivery takes quite a while And places close early.

I'm sorry I could do nothing for you even when you were sick. Haneul's hurt is all unnie's fault. You can blame me. But unnie still loves Haneul very very much. When you reach Puppy Star, don't be discouraged and do everything you want to do. Unnie remembers back when Haneul was bold and mischievous. Aging, getting old, all this is just the principle of life in a way, so don't be too upset at how you are now. Haneul is a precious and amazing being, so you can fly free. And no matter how Haneul looks, to unnie's eyes you're always pretty. If I could make just one wish, once in a while please show up in unnie's dreams too.

  • [lastyvesniin] To Blog-ssi, #14 (230804)

    [Link to original post] From, Blog-ssi Blog-ssi is enjoying a cool indoors date. Please introduce an exhibit that you were impressed by recently~ [People generally feel a sense of distance when they think 'abstract'. Despite the numerous elements that form our surroundings already being abstract, they treat the abstraction in a painting and the abstraction encountered in everyday life completely differently, and feel them differently. For example, they might look at the sunset and feel that it's beautiful, but they look at a painting depicting only a sunset and say that they don't understand abstraction. (This, on the other hand, is a transgression of modern art as well.) This exhibit was prepared to help the understanding of abstraction, through the many pathways that reach, or resolve in, abstraction. This is not for study, but out of a desire that everyone would respect their own sense of aesthetic. I would wish that you come to realize that abstraction isn't anything special, either. The ultimate goal of painting is to contribute towards every individual living as independent beings. - The fifth and sixth floors consist of works that express thoughts on current events using sayings and aphorisms. (Some pieces were included out of the notion that the extraction of essence is itself an abstract process.) - The fourth floor was a reaction to strong memories that remain through my childhood through adolescence, and an abstraction of those shards. - The third floor are works that translate the abstract fragments we encounter around us. Wishing you an enjoyable time. -Yoon Dong-chun] ["From your painting I reminisced on my childhood I grieved, felt warmth, felt comfort Even if my future, which had been abstract continues to be abstract That wouldn't be so bad Ha Sooyoung."] To, Blog-ssi Let me come back in the morning I'm gonna save this topic + [Breaking news] Miss Ha, struggling due to lyrics not coming to mind Sighs from fans awaiting the blog post, "Why didn't you do it earlier"...

When school was out, I would stay with my grandmother in the countryside. Every day I set out to the fields, to the mountains, in search of playthings. The happiest memories of my childhood. A heaven on earth, no one there to interfere. When the break ended and I would return to Seoul, Nureongie the dog would follow me out to the newly paved road. I learned goodbyes. "I learned goodbyes" To me, a good piece of art Is something that draws out empathy. Not forcefully, but genuinely. The color and words of the artist resembled Those from when I experienced parting from Haneul In high school Drumming seemed cool, so I joined the band Then I looked closer, and I would have had to circle the school field wearing the bass drum for every assembly I said I wanted to quit, and they said I would get a beating first I told them to hit me, and they said this was the first time so they would let it slide I didn't have any place to go, so I joined art class Damn it. People would call that fate too. 'Damn it. ᐟ‘ That the fate of the artist Encountered me by fate In front of my eyes, that's so fascinating I didn't want to go to school, but wasn't brave enough to drop out So during class, I brought books I wanted to read and read them, and dozed off, and scribbled Sometimes, I wanted to show off to friends who were checking what I was reading And powered through some nonsense books Yes, it's 'learning', which a person should never be lazy about until they die I have come to think of it as separate from 'study', which accords to temporary need Sentences that spoke to me so so much. The artistic areas that I need to study endlessly as a singer Are of course most important But there are areas to study until I die, as a human being And so, in any meaning, Studies, learning, cannot be skimped on Will I be able to know everything before I go? The field I've gotten interested in lately is humanities I would like to understand even just the 'h' of humanities. I didn't think I could provide for a family if I painted, so I decided to give up on marriage. In hot-blooded youth, I debated for half a year before making that decision. Then I told Father that I would attend art school, and he immediately turned it down After running away from home a few times, I finally got permission. With my future pride and everything on the line, I clashed with Father. After that, I've never thought of any other path than painting The colors of the abstract piece somehow Reminded me of my firm-willed predebut self And wrung out painful smiles out of me A bug Truly fascinating Next to a piece called 'Bug' There was a real bug Is this intended by the artist There was a bug meandering around the piece Bug. I supposed that it was a bug that has some perspective for paintings. -Kim Dohyeon- <- Enjoyed viewing with this buddy here. -Park Chaewon- By Kim Dohyeon, Park Chaewon Ha-drinking-again When we get together like this I'm always the only one drinking ㅠ ㅠ I still like it though (I don't) I know you don't like stuff like exhibits But you still went with me, and how much I should cherish that I once again realized (Are you reading?)

    [Link to original post] Hello this is Yves I haven't been able to write on the blog at all lately, right When someone said they read my writing over and over again on the commute Those words kept lingering in my mind And so I've opened the blog window like so Ah, but I have been checking the comments gratefully every day Once again, thank you so much ♡̈ I am at my family home right now As soon as I arrived, I ate a home-cooked meal with only the banchan that I love. It was so tasty that I ate the whole bowl while chatting away with Mom and Grandma. Ah, do you know about agar bean soup? When I was little, whenever I opened the fridge after school there was always agar bean soup. And it was ever so tasty. 'Boogie'. On & On This is a photo I sent on Fromm I noticed this thing is there now Apparently the name is Boogie 笑 笑 FYI, "Boogie On & On" was my CyWorld BGM in high school The moment you opened my homepage 'I'm fineeee~ Tomorrow morning on the sofaaaaa~~~~$@&&' [Video: "ily"] I sent this one on Fromm too, I'm sorry for leaking This rabbit that I have attached on my bag, when I press its belly It says "I love u" twice But I accidentally pressed it on the night bus and I was writhing ㅜ ㅜ But the fans got curious, so I mustered up courage and I pressed it again on the taxi Dear taxi driver-nim who was attacked with a mysterious confession I am truly sorry.. I love fish Ah, updates I changed my nails So… hot Sentimental because it rained Shouldn't have done wet hair When the bangs were gonna get all wet anyway... I'm still a moody person, easily affected by weather But I'm eating well, eating fruit too Recording the summer of 2023 with my skin, my mouth, my hair That's how I'm living I like this filter but... You all keep telling me 'that damned glasses filter' through DMs ㅠ ㅠ The spot on the side of my nose has gotten darker The faint spot on the side of my nose has darkened and now I'm really the spotted girl... From the side it does feel unique... I do like it Oh and the pajamas are Gowon's. Because we live together [Video: "Hahaht;"] I had so much to say, but coming here after so long I'm at a loss for words I had so much emotions to share with you... Mom is sleeping next to me, and if I stay up any later I really will get an earful... Next time I will return with more organized updates This was not the original plan ㅠ ㅠ Tomorrow I'm going to watch soccer at last. ᐟ If you run into me, who will go there alone, please greet me warmly Perhaps fans felt like this on the day before concerts Photo unrelated Tonight's lullaby which I recommended on Fromm .ᐟ The night at my family home is truly quiet It may seem like there is no sound at all But I am listening closely to the stillness I wonder if the word silence truly exists When I am always muttering to myself in my head In my head, in my mind I can never seem to place a hard stop Sometimes that's saddening But it means I can keep writing tomorrow It means I can make edits How far have you all written? Do the typos you have made continue to bother you Because I can't tell, at all There is a piece that you were writing, a year ago today Do you want to open it?

  • [News] E-Daily: "'Former LOONA' Heejin, October solo launch… 'Splendid new start'" (230803)

    [E-Daily Star-in Reporter Kim Hyun-sik] Heejin (birth name Jeon Hee-jin), former member of the group LOONA, will make a launch as a solo artist. According to the investigation of E-Daily on the 3rd, Heejin plans to release solo song(s) for promotion in October. She has already begun preparing music for release as a solo artist. Heejin, born in 2000, first introduced herself to K-pop fans domestic and abroad as the first member of the LOONA debut project in 2016. At the time, she announced her potential with a single containing the bouncy solo “ViViD”. The next year, she stepped up as a member of the unit LOONA 1/3, and starting in 2018 she embarked on “full group” LOONA activities, garnering love domestically and abroad. Heejin also showed off unique star potential, being selected as an advertising model for an LG Electronics smartphone, among others. In March, along with Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry whom she worked together with as LOONA members, Heejin made a new home at Modhaus, the agency also managing rookie group TripleS. Following the signing of exclusive contracts, Modhaus announced that Heejin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry would promote under the ARTMS project. Last month, the trio of Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry released an album together as Odd Eye Circle, generating curiosity of fans regarding Heejin’s next steps. Heejin’s new beginning turned out to take the form of solo artistry. Expectations are high on what charms Heejin, who has been rated as a “hexagonal idol” with glamorous visuals, vocals, rap, and performance skills, will show off in her solo career.

  • [ENG] ODD EYE CIRCLE Interview with Quem (230714)

    ODD EYE CIRCLE on their new phase in K-pop: “We’ve matured and improved our skills”. Kim Lip, JinSoul and Choerry of ODD EYE CIRCLE reflected on starting from scratch and their obstacles throughout their seven-year career The girls from ODD EYE CIRCLE re-debuted on Thursday (11th) and already have more than 3 million views on the Air Force One music video, the title track of their new album Version Up. After seven years since their career started as LOONA in 2016, Kim Lip, Jinsoul and Choerry return to the spotlight of the musical industry with what started as a subunit but quickly made thousands of fans fall in love. The trio's reunion is part of the ARTMS project, in which they join with two former members of LOONA, Haseul and Heejin, to achieve even more. In an interview with Quem, the trio talked about their expectations for this new phase. With an energetic and fun vibe, the group showed that they are not holding anything back in this new beginning. About this new beginning, Kim Lip points out what has changed since the group's debut as a subunit in 2017. "Six years have passed since our last release. So these years made a big difference", she says. "It's certainly visible that we've matured and our skills have improved", she affirms. Jinsoul adds that there's the desire of showing the fans these changes in this new phase. The artist also says that it's easier to show each member's unique style in a group of three performers. In the previous group, which had 12 members, they did very synchronised choreographies: "We can express the charm and unique style that each member has, and try new things", she assures. The group's routine for a flawless debut has been strict, and despite the turbulence of everyday life, ODD EYE CIRCLE seeks to resolve their differences through dialog: "These days, we try and discuss our differences, and end up voting to make decisions. Whoever has the most votes, wins. But of course, we also ask other people to help us to try and reach a consensus", adds Jinsoul. The group says they have learned and evolved as idols throughout the years. Kim Lip points out communication as the most important factor: "I used to be very direct while talking to people, but I've learned to talk with others in a more delicate way", she points out. "I learned to express my feelings and emotions”, Choerry adds. "I used to think I was fine with anything, but now when I like or dislike something, I've learned to express those emotions vividly", she celebrates. The girls also recall the difficulties of being a K-pop artist. Kim Lip points out that the most challenging part of being a star is going on diets to either gain or lose weight, and to fulfil the standards the industry asks for. Therefore, Choerry advises young people, who want to become celebrities, not to suffer with diets and to seek help when they are unwell. “Kim Lip always says: ‘Just eat well and exercise’. Also, remember your mental health, and seek support from people around you. Getting things off my chest with my members and my family helped me a lot in those moments”, she advises. Talking to their family was one of the key points for them to realise their dream of becoming idols. Choerry and Kim Lip say that convincing their family was a difficult task: “I tried to convince my parents with all my heart. After that, they just said: ‘Okay, just make it work’”, Choerry recalls. “My parents wanted me to have an ordinary life and not the life of a star”, adds Kim Lip. “However, I kept insisting, and in the end they eventually supported me in my dream of becoming an idol”. The new look of the singers was very well received by the fans. In Brazil, ODD EYE CIRCLE was amongst the most talked about subjects on Twitter during the launch. When asked about what they know about Brazil, Kim Lip said she knows it’s the best country at football: “If someone asked me who is the best in football, I wouldn’t think twice before saying it’s Brazil”, she says. Furthermore, Choerry thanks their Brazilian fans for their support and expresses her desire to meet her fans: “Thank you so much for all your support from so far away. We hope to see you in person and introduce ourselves to all of you. I love you”, she says. The seven years of their career were also fundamental to learn how to handle success and fame. Kim Lip points out that it’s important to be proud of your work, but to never brag: “The three of us do our best and we don’t brag about it. We try to stay humble; our secret is to remember where we came from in a critical way and look at where we are now”, she concludes. Source

  • [lastyvesniin] To. Blog-ssi, #12 (230702)

    [Link to original post] From, Blog-ssi July, when the summer begins to really heat up! Is there anything you want to make sure to do in July? To, Blog-ssi I was wracking my brain too hard to write And ended up only writing down overly productive things So I deleted the whole thing and I'm starting over... 1. Going to a cafe during the rainy season and reading a poem anthology. As someone who must not go anywhere and stay home whenever it rains It's a massive decision to go outside with a book when it's raining Also I have to sit by a window no matter what. I'm a romanticist Also since it is raining, to get rid of the moisture, the owner will certainly blast the A/C So as someone who gets cold easily, I have to bring outerwear! Sometimes, when I'm reading poems, I go 'Wow! How could they write such an expression!' And I am amazed But if I just turn the page, it feels as if the words that came into my hands are taken away again. On any piece of paper, even a receipt, once I've written it down and put it away Sometime later I'll open it back up, like a gift, while cleaning, and then I think again. 'Wow! How could they write such an expression!' In those moments, like a piece of mail missing its sender, it feels like someone's secretly left it at my home. For a maximalist like me, this notebook also is an item that I might lose on any day but Let's be together The Apple Notebook, the texture of which shows better in the flashlight [Jeong Hye-yoon - Anyway, Take Notes] I also bought this book at the same time I bought it as if possessed after reading the first page. "I should have made a note" 2. In Dohyeon's room, eating Kkandori and watching movies and chatting all night The important thing here is that we need the 'fan'. A while ago, I was chatting at Dohyeon's place about how we express things And we fell asleep at 7am. The fan running all strained, and the two of us leaning because the ice cream we held was melting. At the same time, the two of us said, 'Wow! This feels so much like summer right now!' We felt summer within the summer. Naturally, because it's summer But it's quite the different thing than treading on cold snow and reminiscing a summer gone by. Dohyeon eats big ice cream by herself. Also, Dohyeon is a movie buff, to the point that she's written reviews of Around 1900 movies, one by one. Even mundane worries or boring topics Become tied to a movie when she speaks And that is such an interesting thing to me. So typically I end up finding out how a movie ends before I look that movie up on Netflix. You might think it boring, but it's so much fun when the things I discussed with Dohyeon happen one by one. That's how I ended up watching the drama 'The Good Place' And that's why I've been going to bed in the morning every day Now on Season 2 3. Avoiding trouble When I was little, our family got hit squarely by Typhoon Maemi ["Cicada"]. Ever since then, summer has always seemed like a butterfly that hides a knife behinds its back. (There is also Typhoon Nabi ["Butterfly"]..) At any rate, my biggest wish is that everyyyone, not just those around me would go through this summer without trouble. For some reason summer always gets romanticized, so you just see this word and it feels like a sun-drenched youth. But someone out there must have felt endlessly depressed at the long rainy season And someone else must have felt anxious at the approaching typhoons What really is there to happiness~~~~~~ If nothing bad happens, that's good enough Even if the sores that have grown in your heart keep throbbing Even if this summer is more humid than the last We have many more summers that are yet to come~ Let's have another good~ summer together Bye!

    Star News: [Exclusive] “Blockberry Appeals” - LOONA, the Fights That Will Be Unseen [Yoon Sang-geun’s Context] [The first six paragraphs provide a recap of the events so far] As all have won injunctions in the lawsuit to seek suspension of exclusive contract effect, it appears that there will be no significant restrictions on their immediate activities. But it cannot be said that the situation is over, legally speaking. First, regarding losing their case against these five members, Blockberry has expressed that they will “appeal the decision”, and additionally prepare for the primary lawsuit related to the effectiveness of the exclusive contract. Blockberry is also awaiting an initial verdict in August on its primary case against Chuu, who is already preparing solo activities, and this lawsuit also has been proceeding for at least two years. A Blockberry official told StarNews that “There is still a long way to go,” expressing a will to continue legal proceedings against the members. While there may not be significant hurdles to LOONA members’ activities on the outside, it seems that an invisible, muddy fight will continue.. Reporter: Yoon Sang-geun Source

    [Original blog post] After practice, back in my dorm, in the silent closet I packed down my clamors into a diary Which piled up layer by layer onto my finger and hardened Quietly I gazed at my finger And gathering the faint images that floated into mind I conjured Mom I faced my mom for the first time in a long while, the wrinkles between her eyebrows creasing deep Her smile lines were not as deep somehow, but her mouth seemed to droop Haneul-ie, who left my side Perhaps because she was curled up every day Her front legs had rolled up, which only after she breathed her last breath At last straightened out For some time, What is it that I could do For what purpose was I born on this Earth No matter how much I asked, the open-ended question of loneliness Remained unsolved I stood up my two feet on my revolving Earth And kept, I kept, seeking the whereabouts of disappeared stars Towards the empty, pitch-black universe, with a tilted throat I exhale a syllable of a song that could extinguish at any moment I still think of Haneul when I look at the sky And so I started to look only at the ground Soon enough, the top of my feet are submerged in muddy waters And they cry, weeping, every time I walk Do you have someone that you still ache over too Do you still walk over damp ground If I knew it would be this way, I should have named you something difficult Like that, I spend every dawn mulling It doesn't feel real that what remains of you is but a handful. I keep finding myself hugging a doll about the same size as you. The sky grows brighter Tap Tap Tap Yes, baby, bidding me to look out the window 'Unnie, today it will rain. So it's not your fault, unnie' 'Okay, thanks. I won't cry today' 'Okay. But unnie, how come you sleep in the sea?' [Written on the box: 2023. 01. 15 Around PM 11:00, departed for Puppy Planet...

    [Link to original blog post] So one time I went to the materials market at Dongdaemun with a friend, and as we were walking straight There was a flea market going on? Sikhye, Hallabong juice, various fruit jams, bread... And my feet just moved that way Like that, my friend and I arrived, as if mesmerized In front of a lady selling ssamjang and doenjang People interested in purchasing were allowed to wrap up a ssam and taste a sample... We wondered if this was what it meant to be mesmerized by something Sharing a gentle conversation, my friend and I went on to eat jjambbong. I'm craving it again. When I was a little, when I saw the elderly ladies selling vegetables on the street I'd think to myself, 'When I grow up someday I'm going to buy all those for them' Now, twenty years older, it seems I'm still far away from that. Same as how, whenever I'm walking and see any grandma, I stop in my tracks And my heart begins to ache, missing my own grandma. When I just saw her yesterday, too Anyway, these items that were crafted through someone's heart And other items that once shared someone's joy and anger and love and pleasure And now find themselves on the display shelf of a flea market Must each have their own story That's why I like vintage items so much. How did you come to cross paths with me? Relationships are so fascinating From, Blog-ssi Blog-ssi donated items at the flea market this weekend!

  • [News] KBS News: "Court 'suspends effect' of exclusive contracts for remaining members" (230616)

    Court 'suspends effect' of exclusive contracts for the five remaining members of LOONA All members of the group LOONA are now able to leave their agency, Blockberry Creative. Unlike in the first trial, the Seoul High Court's 5th Civil Cases Division (Head judges Seol Bumsik, Lee Joonyoung, Choi Sungbo) ruled in favor of the plaintiff today (16th) in an appeal filed by five remaining members of LOONA (Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Olivia Hye, and Go Won) against the company. The court determined, “The effect of each exclusive contract is suspended until the date of an initial primary ruling on the lawsuit to void the exclusive contracts”, and that “The company may not negotiate or sign contracts related to entertainment activities with a third party that goes against the wishes of the members, and may not demand or interfere with the entertainment activities of the members.” The court explained its reasoning that “As the basic relationship of trust between company and members has already collapsed, it is deemed difficult for a normal exclusive relationship to sustain,” and “As it is expected that the independent entertainment activities of the members will be greatly restricted for the remainder of the contract period, even beyond the simple economic element, there are concerns about serious violations of basic constitutional rights such as the freedom to select one’s profession.” As a condition of the suspension, the court instructed the members to deposit 50 million won in cash as collateral to the company, or to instead submit a surety insurance that guarantees payment. Earlier in January, the first trial ruled in favor of four members and against five others for an injunction filed by nine members of LOONA against the company. For the five members who lost, the reason was because they had signed auxiliary contracts 1~2 years ago that changed some conditions to be more in their favor, and as such, the contracts were not deemed to be unjust enough to suspend their effects.

  • [News] Seoul Economic Daily: "All 12 members of LOONA are free" (230616)

    [Exclusive] All 12 members of LOONA are free - won their lawsuits to terminate exclusive contracts All 12 members of the girl group LOONA are now free from their agency, which was embroiled in controversies such as unfair settlement. On the 16th, The Seoul High Court’s 5th Civil Cases Division ruled in favor of the five remaining members of the girl group LOONA, who appealed for an injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contract with agency Blockberry Creative. As such, the remaining members, Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Olivia Hye and Go Won, will all be able to start anew outside Blockberry. Viewing there to be a problem with Blockberry’s transferring of exclusive contracts to Japanese agency Universal Japan without the written consent of the members, the court decided to suspend the effect of the exclusive contracts. Following Chuu first leaving the group LOONA in November of last year, Heejin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Hyunjin and Vivi have departed as well. Now the last remaining five members are also able to work freely. With Chuu at ATRP, Heejin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry at Modhaus, and Hyunjin and Vivi in CTDENM, the members are currently all finding new homes. The remaining members, whose activities had practically been indefinitely suspended, are expected to make fresh starts once again. Source

  • CTD ENM Welcome Message for Hyunjin and Vivi (230612)

    Hello. This is CTD ENM. Our company has recently signed Hyunjin and Vivi, formerly of the group LOONA, to an exclusive contract. CTD ENM is a company newly established by CEO Yun Do-yeon, who held roles in SM Entertainment, and also managed LOONA while serving as the Director of Planning and Coordination at Blockberry Creative. We have decided to pursue this contract based on longtime relationships with, and our faith in, Hyunjin and Vivi. CTD ENM expresses gratitude to Hyunjin and Vivi who stand at a new start line. Additionally, we promise that we will spare no efforts to help the two artists blossom their talents even more beautifully. We ask that you please show affectionate attention to the future of Hyunjin and Vivi, and also look forward to CTD ENM. The company name CTD ENM was inspired by Steve Jobs’ 2005 speech, ‘Connecting The Dots’. It argues that just as unrelated experiences (Dots) become Lines (future and value) and form shapes, there is no such thing as a meaningless experience in life. Based on this idea, CTD ENM aims to produce new trend-setting ideas and high-quality content, and grow into an innovative global entertainment firm. In addition to the exclusive contracts with Hyunjin and Vivi, CTD ENM is also launching the SuperEight project for the formation of a new boy group, and putting forth best efforts for that group’s debut later this year. Thank you. (Source 1) (Source 2)
