    To. 🧡 Orbit 🧡 Orbit 🧡 Hi it's me Yeojin 🐻 Apparently it's already been five whole years since I debuted! It feels even more special that it's been five years since I met Orbit🧡s and started gazing towards the same place. My memories together with Orbit🧡s have piled and heaped in my heart even more than the snow that's fallen this winter 🙂 To think it's already the fifth anniversary.. I haven't even done much of anything for Orbit🧡s... I resent time for passing by so quickly 🥲 But I'm able to see and learn and feel many things from the past, so I'm also grateful to the time that has passed. Because I get to show Orbit🧡s a better version of myself than before! There have been many tough times, but these days I think these thoughts too, that I'll be able to look back upon even the hard times with a smile. More than anything, because Orbit🧡s have stayed by my side in between the hard times, because whenever I look back I see Orbit🧡s waving at me, I think there is a smile at the end of my struggle. I feel that a lot right now too! I go, back in those days it was like that, back in these days it was like this, and I smile. It's all thanks to Orbit🧡s. And the most important thing is, without Orbit🧡s there is no me. If there's only a Moon in the sky and no stars, that's not a perfect night sky. So I thank and cherish Orbit🧡s even more, because we are one. Even at this moment, as I write, the stars and Moon are out pretty in the sky. There's decent snow piled up, too. Like this, like a painting, let's keep staying together. Until the colors wear out and we need a fresh coat of paint! I've said it every time, but thank you so much. My Orbit🧡s who give me strength just by being there next to me. Thanks to you, I'm happy even when I'm tired. I tell you 'Thank you, I love you' every time, but this time, I thank you and love you even more. I pondered hard about how I could express my heart to Orbit🧡s in a letter this time around, but I'm overflowing with things to tell you like this.. Do I talk too much..? Heh who cares~ Orbit🧡s deserve to hear even more good and pretty words, am I right?? Orbit🧡 Thank you so much for guarding me steadfastly for five long years. Thank you for being the reason of my being 🥺 I love you. Very much! Let us get even more, and more, greatly happy 🧡🐻🧡🐻 From. 🐻Yeojin🐻 Original Fancafe Post

I’ve also gone from 19-year-old Kim Lip to 24 years old already Aging is.. Something we all do together so don’t be sad❤️ In 2022, I hope that in an improved environment, all of us will be able to resolve and achieve the things that frustrated us, that we couldn’t do, one by one and together As much as Orbits cheer for me, I Lippie also always cheer for Orbits! I’ll always be by your side. Love you Orbit❤️ Let’s always be healthy =) Jinsoul Hello Orbits! It’s Jinsoul :) ❤️ As I’m about to handwrite a letter for Orbits for the first time in a while, I’m already having many thoughts about what I should write.. Heuheu.. This is in celebration of the new year, so I will write thinking about what’s to come next rather than regrets or sadness about the past! I always have much gratitude and apologetic feelings towards my Orbits, but in 2022 I hope I can repay you in a way that’s better all around compared to past years! Even though I’ve said that every time.. Because I’ve fallen so short of the love and strength that Orbits give me. So more effort will be needed on my part, and may there be happiness for Orbits and us.. Heheh Orbits! Take good care of me in 2022 too ❤️ I feel like I really cry and laugh all thanks to Orbits. Thanks so much for being with me in each and every moment right now! And I’ll make sure that time isn’t in vain for you. Ah! And since this is for the new year.. This year I hope that everyone won’t get sick! That for everyone, there would be a little more to be happy about, and a little less to worry about `3` I love you, my Orbits-❤️ Ahjwajwang ✊ Choerry Orbit!! You worked so hard this year too and I’ve been grateful hehe Thanks to Orbit I was able to be happy in 2021 too!! In 2022 let’s keep having happy days with us girls while being healthy and having fun and being happy ❤️3❤️ Yves Orbit! It’s Yves❤️ Already it’s time to let 2021 go. I guess this sense of emptiness like I haven’t done a single thing is something I just always feel around this time of year. But because I had Orbits who fill the empty spaces in between, just as if I’ve found a piece of a puzzle that I’ve sought wandering for a long time, I’ve been so thankful this year as well. Even though there are so many things that should never be taken for granted, I always seem to only receive love, as if it belongs to me by right; so in 2022 I want to give back more! Today as always, I wish that you are always beloved and happy, so much that the love that I give you is the smallest of all the love you receive. No matter how, I wish that my Orbits will only be happy❤️ P.S. Let’s take care of our health too! :) Chuu Orbits, 2021 has somehow passed by so quickly and another new year is here :) I’ll keep the memories of your love neatly arranged in the memories of 2021. In '22, I wish we’ll only have good things and welcome things, so that I can love with Orbits more often ❤️ Our paths shined because we were together, after all ! The light will become stronger ✨ I love you Orbits 🌙 My light :) Go Won Orbit❤️ Hope you will never be sick and always healthy in 2022 too. And I’ll be cheering hard for you so that you can achieve everything you want! Just enjoy every single day!!!❤️ Even if you do nothing, Orbits who do nothing are amazing ^_^ Olivia Hye The new year 2022 has dawned! Let’s have another year where we’re not sick and stay healthy. I’m confident that we will make you happy, so count on Loona and be with us in 2022 too! Happy New Year Orbit

    Orbit! It’s Jiwoo 😍 It’s already the 4th anniversary..? I’m writing this letter while listening to Heart Attack. Yeah, so I tried to write while listening to Heart Attack for like 10 minutes and I couldn't focus on writing emotional things and I kept shaking my butt so I turned it back off The Heart Attack album itself is a very heart-thumping album and I prepared it with an excited mindset, so it still gets me really excited to this day 🥰 Around this time of year, as it’s becoming cold, it reminds me of meeting the members for the first time before Heart Attack was made, finding good places to eat near the company building, and funny memories from when we started living together So I pull up photos from around that time in my gallery As I do that, I end up looking back at whether I'm different now, having achieved something I wanted, or how close I've come to the person I've wanted to be Thinking back, time's passed by so quickly since debut that I can't believe it's been four years already, and I want to explore myself more. From the Orbits I've met while releasing each album one by one, from all the expressions you've shown me, I've found comfort and solace, and been able to walk so well up to this point Thank you Orbit 😊🙏🏻 I can never express it all in such simple words of gratitude I want to do more things together with Orbit, and I want to sing for Orbits the songs I like, steadily Just, until I reach the person I want to be, I want to be with Orbits in many things, in everything In the future my 5th and 10th and 20th anniversaries will be coming too, and Orbits, please watch from my side that I might grow closer, not further, from what I want to be like My Orbits, stay healthy, see you soon, I love you Oh and also, I've prepped some old photos from when I'd just become Chuu 🥳 Orbits should reminisce too 🎄 Original Fancafe Post

    Hello Orbit?! It's Haseul Today marks 5 years since I've met Orbit I'm really happy to be able to be with Orbit on December 15 every year like this Many things have happened with us during these 5 years, right? There were happy things and there were also heartbreaking things I think that's why we became closer to each other I still can't forget that moment 5 years ago, when they said "Haseulie is the third member" I was 20 years old then ..heghhe I remember the moments when even while at school, I would dance, sing, and work hard during each break, for my debut My beloved members, who have been with me during these 5 years, and who have already become family by now, Thank you so much and I love you Thank you so much for always being by my side whether we're happy or sad together, my loves You know that my wallpaper image is still us, right?

  • [Article] Mery Interview with LOONA (211020)

    Super popular in Korea, LOONA has made their long-awaited Japanese debut! MERY has gotten an exclusive interview♡ The members said, "We think of the circles in HULA HOOP as paths that connect us, LOONA, with our fans. The lyrics are like a poem too, so please listen to it a lot!” StarSeed~Kakusei~ : Take note of the excitement as if you’re on another planet, and “cho cho joayo” The members had this to say about Starseed~Kakusei~: “It contains the hope of bringing out one’s hidden abilities and moving forward energetically." Let's get to know LOONA's members! Check each members' individual questions♡ • Visual ace "Heejin" × Having both cool and brightness "Hyunjin" Heejin was the first to debut in LOONA. LOONA’s visual ace, she has dance skills, as she has learned to dance from a young age♡ We asked Heejin these questions: ① When did you start wanting to become an idol? A. "I wanted to become an idol in elementary school, so I auditioned a lot. I started my activities in earnest when I was in middle school." ② Your representative animal is a rabbit, and your color is a deep pink - how do you think it suits you? A. "I think both rabbits and deep pink are a good fit for me, and I think they were recommended because the company thought they are similar to my image." ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Although she seems to be seen as a cool beauty, in reality Hyunjin has a bright personality and this gap is charming. We asked Hyunjin these questions: ① Your clear voice is very attractive ♡ Are there any particular efforts you make for this? A. "I think the basics are the most important thing, so I don’t skip practicing the basics, I firmly stick to it." ② Your representative animal is the cat, and your color is yellow - how do you think it suits you? A. "I think I look like a cat, and I like the bright atmosphere that comes with yellow! But, in fact, when I had an allergy test, I discovered that I was allergic to cats ..." • Leader "Haseul" × The group’s maknae full of aegyo, "Yeojin" The leader who pulls the group along, Haseul gave off bright vibes during the interview as well. We asked Haseul these questions! ① Your beautiful and high voice is so attractive! What do you do to make your voice so clear? A. "Rather than on vocalization, I continue to place my efforts on making my voice sound pretty. I like chit-chatting, but I refrain from using my voice too much when recording." ② Your representative animal is a white bird, and your color is green. How do you think it suits you? A. "I think green fits me great! But I've always thought that birds are scary... Someday, through LOONA, I'd like to do a project where I can get closer to birds." ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー The maknae Yeojin, youngest in the group and doted on by all. Although she is the youngest, she was passionate with her responses during the interview, leaving an impression of her being very dependable ♡ This is what we asked Yeojin: ① What are the difficult and good things unique to being the youngest? A. "There’s nothing particularly difficult, the good thing is that there are 11 unnies supporting me." ② Your representative animal is a frog, and your color is orange. How well do you think it suits you? A. "To be honest, I wondered how it would go, with the frog. But I've accepted it over time, and I think it has a cheerful image. I think orange is the perfect color for me." • From Hong Kong, overwhelming visual "Vivi" × The versatile "Kim Lip" who got attention even from her solo song The only member hailing from Hong Kong, ViVi was active as a model in Hong Kong before her debut. Vivi has overwhelming visuals and an attractive figure. We asked her these questions! ① How did you study Korean? A. "I tried to read books, translate on my own, and memorize phrases rather than words. Now, I have no problem communicating with the members." ② Your representative animal is a deer, and your color is pastel pink. How much do you think it suits you? A. "I think the deer's gentle vibe is similar to me. I think pastel pink also suits me well." ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Kim Lip has received a lot of attention even during her solo days, such as her solo song "Eclipse" being included in NASA's official playlist. ① What is difference in appeal between solo and a group? A. “The appeal of a solo is that the concept will have a certain feel that matches you, whereas the chemistry between members is what’s important in a group, so I think fans will also be pleased.” ② Your representative animal is an owl, and your color is red - how much do you think it suits you? A. "Red is passionate and intense, and I think it fits very well. Although, I'm a morning person while owls are nocturnal, so I think that it’s funny that it’s the exact opposite." • "Jinsoul" with an attractive husky voice × "Choerry" with a gap between her overwhelming figure and cuteness Jinsoul, who has an attractive husky voice, and also is in charge of rapping. For Jinsoul, who looks cool but has a cute personality in contrast, we asked these questions. ① Are there any artists you admire and are inspired by? A. "There isn’t a specific artist. I get greatly influenced by everyone. Recording myself and checking what sounds good, I make an effort to make our fans happy.” ② Your representative animal is a blue betta fish, and your color is blue, how well do you think that fits you? A. "A blue fish, a blue betta, appears in my solo MV. So I wondered if it was because of that. But when I saw myself dancing, the way my mouth moved resembled that of a fish, so it made sense." ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー In contrast to her cute face, Choerry has an overwhelming figure. We asked Choerry, who had a cheerful side to liven up the interview, these questions. ① Secrets to maintaining your figure? A. “I don’t do anything in particular, but since I tend to get puffy easily, I drink tea that’s good for puffiness. I strongly recommend pumpkin and red bean tea.” ② Your representative animal is a bat, and your color is purple. How do you think it fits you? A. "I think purple fits me well, but I thought I wouldn’t get used to having my representative animal as a bat at first. Now, I think bats are pretty cute and I like them." • With plenty of brightness, LOONA's biggest jokester, "Yves" × Mood maker and trendsetter Chuu Yves, who has a beautiful appearance and is the character in charge of jokes at LOONA. We asked Yves these questions! ① LOONA's jokester! What keeps you upbeat? A. “Honestly when it comes to meeting different people while alone, I’m on the shy side. But when I’m with the members I’m very comfortable and we have good chemistry, so I just turn into the jokester character.” ② Your representative animal is a swan, and your color is burgundy. How do you think it fits you? A. "I have a nickname of ‘apple’ among fans. The name “Eve” and apples are closely related, aren’t they? So, I like burgundy. Swans have an elegant image, so I think that’s the kind of image the company expected from me at first. Except, I actually can’t swim…” ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Chuu, who has a cheerful and talkative personality, and is a mood maker. We asked Chuu, who was popular on SNS even before debut, and who makes trends, these questions! ① Any tips to make trends? Such as creating the “Chuu heart” that was popular among K-POP idols? A. "I'm just doing various things with the hope that I’m pleasing the fans. I think it came up because I naturally thought like that.” ② Your representative animal is the penguin, and your color is coral, how well do you think that fits you? A. “I’ve always liked penguins, and I’ve always thought they were cute, so I’m happy. With coral, I wondered if it would suit me, but over time, I started thinking that it fits me.” • Quiet healing character Go Won × Olivia Hye who has overwhelming dance skill Go Won, who has graceful facial features like a doll, and a quiet aura to her. We asked these questions to her: ① A fan of "OH MY GIRL" ♡ What kind of idol do you want to be? A. "I want to be the idol I dreamed of, and be somebody who gives energy and hope to fans." ② Your representative animal is a butterfly, and your color is Eden Green, how do you think that suits you? A. "We often wear fluttering outfits, which I think resembles butterflies, and I like that. For Eden Green, I like colors like yellow, but yellow is Hyunjin's color, so I think I wanted to also like Eden Green." ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Olivia Hye has overwhelming dance skills despite her cool and calm vibes. We asked her these questions. ① Not only for having the makings of an idol, but also famous among fans for being a PC gamer! How long do you play PC games? A. "I used to play a lot of games. I’m the type where when I start one thing, I concentrate on it until I reach the end. But lately, I’ve often been practicing singing and dancing, so I don't play games that often." ② Your representative animal is a wolf, and your color is gray. How well do you think that suits you? A. "At first I didn't have the image of a wolf at all, but I noticed the wolf within me through my solo song, and now I like it. I think gray suits me because I don't really like to stand out." Let's get to know more about LOONA's charm! We asked for their thoughts about the group and the members♡ Q1. How would you like Japanese fans to support you? A. Go Won: We can’t meet in person now, so I’d like to meet Orbits, who’ve sent us lots of fan letters, soon. Olivia Hye: Personally, I think it would be interesting if the "Hula Hoop challenge" became popular on SNS. Even though we’re apart, I want to connect using SNS and interact with my fans. By the way, I can spin a hula hoop around my neck. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Author: Though the current conditions mean they can’t meet fans in person now, they really want to meet Japanese fans as soon as possible! I was able to feel that ♡ As Olivia Hye says, why don't you support LOONA by adding a hashtag #LOONAHulaHoopChallenge (#LOONAフラフープチャレンジ) on SNS? Q2. What are your future goals after making your debut in Japan? A. Vivi: Our goal is to have a fan meeting where we can meet in person, and, more than anything, to have a concert in Japan. Chuu: I always check the messages sent by Orbits! So I would like to meet in person and return my gratitude. I would like to show "HULA HOOP" at a concert. Olivia Hye: When we are able to go to Japan, I would like to go see them in person, have a concert, and see how happy Japanese Orbits become. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Author: The words that are overflowing from each member were all "I want to please the fans." As Vivi and Chuu say, let's hope that concerts and fan meetings in Japan will take place soon ♡ Q3. What is your favorite phrase or favorite Japanese part for your Japanese debut songs "HULA HOOP / StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~"? A. Choerry: I like “hitomi wa Andromeda'' (your eyes are Andromeda) from Hula Hoop. I like the Japanese words “umai” (delicious/great) and “pekopeko” (onomatopoeia for being hungry). Chuu: I want to emphasize “chou chou joayo” from Starseed ~Kakusei~ because it’s cute having Japanese and Korean mixed together. I like the Japanese word “mokumoku” (silently working on something). [T/N: The more common definition of “mokumoku” is stated above, but there are various alternative usages, such as being the onomatopoeia for smoke/clouds flowing past, or an alternative onomatopoeia for chewing (“mogumogu”), and it’s not clear which definition Chuu is referring to.] Heejin: I was happy when I came to understand the meaning of “kakusei” (awakening). At first I thought it was “gakusei” (student), but it was interesting when I understood it after learning Japanese. Yves: The pronunciation for “tsu” and “ku” were difficult, so I worked hard on it. “ku” is pronounced more nasally compared to Korean, so I put in a lot of effort to pronounce it cutely♡ Go Won: I like the Japanese word “kirakira” (onomatopoeia for sparkling/twinkling). Yeojin: I like that the Japanese word “kokoro” (heart) also is in Starseed ~Kakusei~. Vivi: I like the word “shiawase” (happiness). Haseul: The feeling of repeating words in “dokidoki” (onomatopoeia for heart pounding) is cute. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Author: With them taking the challenge of Japanese lyrics, their efforts and feelings of delighting Japanese fans comes through♡ LOONA’s efforts can be felt clearly in either song! We were also told “It sounds cute!”, or “It appears in the lyrics!” about their favourite Japanese words. Q4. What do you want us to pay attention to in the B-side "PTT (Paint The Town) Japanese Ver."? A. Yeojin: It was our first time singing in Japanese, so all the members were careful about their pronunciation. I hope that the efforts will be conveyed to the fans as well. Jinsoul: The lyrics have the same meaning, but I think the difference in pronunciation is a big point. It's the same song, but the rhythm is a little different, and I sang it with a different feeling. I’d like you to pay attention to those parts. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Q5. What’s a charm that you think is unique to LOONA? A. Haseul: From solos to units, and then to a 12-person group, LOONA took a long time to become complete. That process has a different appeal from other idols, as well as being a new type. That’s why our teamwork is also strong. Choerry: Our competitive spirit is also second to none! Yves: The solos and units each have their own charms, and us as a full group also has a charm of its own. I think that’s a distinguishing factor we have from other groups. To someone who had been watching from the various eras, they would wonder, “what kind of combinations would come about when the solo or unit members form a group?” I think that that’s another one of our unique charms. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Q6. Have you come to Japan before? A. Choerry: I've actually been there once for a shoot. There were many wonderful places and so much delicious food ♡, so I definitely want to go there again. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Q7. “I really love this about a member!” What would that be? A. Hyunjin: I like Yves’ jokes ♡ Yves: I’m jealous that Yeojin can act spoiled because she’s the youngest~! Heejin: I think it's amazing how Jinsoul gets deep into one thing when concentrating. Yeojin: All 11 older sisters are kind and caring towards me. I'm really grateful to be able to casually talk with them, even when I'm feeling down. Choerry: All the members are fun, I feel better just by looking at their faces ♡ ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Q8. Who’s the mood maker (the life of the party), according to the members? A. Everyone is very bright! But I think Yeojin, Choerry, and Chuu are the mood makers. A personality test called "MBTI" is popular in Korea now, and when all the members did it, those three were "ENFP". ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー Q9. If you could be another member for a day, who would you choose? A. Heejin → Yves: Yves’ arms and legs are very long, so her dance moves are beautiful. That’s why I chose Yves. Hyunjin → Kim Lip: Her clothes are stylish! I always look at her closet and want to try on her clothes. Haseul → Olivia Hye: I’m a very loud person, and when I get startled, I scream loudly, but Olivia Hye always stays calm. I think I’d be able to find a different side of myself. Yeojin → Choerry: I love how she lives her life purely. Vivi → Hyunjin: I fancy her height and physical strength. Kim Lip → Heejin: When I was in the waiting room, I heard her say “I see something glittering~”, and I wondered what that was about. Apparently, Heejin’s nose is sharp enough that she could see the glitter on her nose. Her nose is pretty, and I’m jealous of it. Jinsoul → Hyunjin: I envy her physical fitness and strength. Choerry → Yeojin: I want to try feeling how’s it like to have 11 unnies♡ Yves → Olivia Hye: Seeing her going out alone and enjoying herself is wonderful. I think it’s nice that she doesn’t care about what others see of her, and lives her life calmly. Chuu → Yves: She’s strong, and her figure is awesome! It’s my ideal figure. Go Won → Kim Lip: I admire morning people who can wake up early and go to sleep early. Since I’m nocturnal.. Olivia Hye → Go Won: I don’t think I want to become someone else, but I think Go Won and I have similar personalities. I’m not the type to become overly enthusiastic, and seeing Go Won when she’s relaxing on the sofa makes me feel like she’s similar. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー We look forward to LOONA Japanese activities from now on♡ How about becoming an Orbit? Charming members of LOONA, You can’t help but to become their fan…♡ How about becoming an Orbit from today on? First of all, listen to their Japanese debut songs, “HULA HOOP / StarSeed ~Kakusei~”, to moisturise your bustling daily life! And we got a message from LOONA to Japanese Orbit: “It is disappointing that we are not able to go directly to Japan to make our Japanese debut. But we think the fans were saddened the most. So we brought these bright songs to help overcome such emotions♡ Even with what’s going on now, we want everyone to be cheerful and positive. Even if it feels like we’re sort of close but still apart, we check every letter or video that we get from fans, and remember their names. So please don’t be worried, and look forward to the upcoming activities!” Together, let us look forward to LOONA’s upcoming Japanese activities, as well as their global activities (in the future).

  • [Fanclub] Orbit Japan Official Book Vol. 1: Group Interview & 2SHOT Talk

    Group Interview We look forward to their Japanese activities in which they can show a new version of themselves What is the key point of your long-awaited Japanese debut song HULA HOOP? Hyunjin: Unlike our songs until now, we use a lot of aegyo, so please look out for that. Chuu: There are a lot of points where Orbits will see and naturally smile at. A new and fresh appearance, as well as bright smiles that only LOONA can do. What are some episodes from recording or the MV shoot? Vivi: Before recording and before the MV shoot, we would purposely jump in order to get our excitement up! Jinsoul: When we were recording, I paid most attention towards the Japanese pronunciation. I paid too much attention to it that, even though it’s a bright and happy song, it would suddenly become serious, and ended up taking a lot of time. It has been a while since our MV would have a fresh and cute feel to it, so even though it felt awkward at the beginning, I slowly adapted and had fun with the shoot. This time the MV used CGI, so it was shot entirely with a green chroma-key background. Of the other members’ parts, do you have any that you like? Choerry: Go Won unnie’s part “Yeah stay with me forever now what ya say”. Go Won: I like Yeojin’s rapping section. I thought it was a difficult part, but with how Yeojin makes the rap cute and have a pop vibe, I think it’s the killing part of the song. Before debuting as a group in Korea, you all had a solo debut. If you were to perform another member’s song, whose song would you like to try? Heejin: Lately I’ve been wanting to try Kim Lip’s “Eclipse”, because out of all the LOONA members’ solo songs, it has the sexiest vibe. Hyunjin: For me, it’s Heejin’s “ViViD”. When she first got the song, we recorded it together, so I’ve wondered before how it would’ve been if I were to do it. Haseul: Yves’ “new”. Because I want to show a new side of myself that I’ve never been able to.. (lol) Yeojin: Vivi unnie’s “Everyday I Love You”. It’s a really good song, and the concept is pretty, so I want to cover it!! Go Won: It’s also “Everyday I Love You” for me. It’s a song I like to begin with, and it’s also a concept I would like to try sometime. Choerry: It’s Olivia Hye’s “Egoist” for me. Unlike my solo song, it has a somewhat deep feel to it, so I’d like to give these kinds of songs a try. Olivia Hye: I want to try singing Jinsoul unnie’s “Singing in the Rain”. When I joined the company, I was told to choose a solo song to practice, and that was the song I had chosen. Vivi: I like “Singing in the Rain” too. Yves: I also think this song (“Singing in the Rain”) is good. I like the beat. Kim Lip: Of the solo songs, I like my own the most. But for unit songs, I would like to try changing (Heejin, Hyunjin, and Haseul’s) “The Carol” to the style of ODD EYE CIRCLE and singing that! Jinsoul: I would try Choerry’s “Love Cherry Motion”. While it has a lively concept, the sudden change in ambience is also fascinating, and it seems fun to perform that on stage. Chuu: I like fun and bright songs, so I would also choose “Love Cherry Motion”. Something that matches Choerry’s freshness is something I want to try at least once. Your Japanese activities are starting at last. Is there anything that you want to try with your Japanese fans? Heejin: The LOONA in Japan feels like it will be yet another side of us, so I’m really excited. It’s disappointing that we can’t directly meet with fans right now, but someday I want to hold a concert in Japan. Haseul: I’m happy that we can finally show Japanese Orbits a new side of LOONA. It was our first song in Japanese, so there were moments that we were unfamiliar with, but it was a new experience and we had fun. And we definitely want to go to Japan and hold a concert with Japanese fans. Please take care of your health until we can meet again~! 2SHOT TALK - We’ll tell you about us ♡ Heejin & Hyunjin What do you find amazing about her? Heejin: Our Hyunjin has a strong sense of duty! You can entrust her with anything! There are times where she’ll be sulking, but it’s really cute. She’s more 4D than I had imagined. Hyunjin: Heejin is cute. My friend Heejin is cute from any angle that you take of her. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Heejin: Nothing.. in particular? Ah, when will we be able to take a normal selfie together? Hyunjin: Heejin is cute to begin with, so I’d like her not to act cute. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Heejin: Recently, when I didn’t reply to a KakaoTalk message that Hyunjin sent, even though she said “I won’t message you on KakaoTalk anymore”, she still sent KakaoTalk messages the next day. Hyunjin: When we went to Hong Kong for a MV shoot, I remember we snuck out to the convenience store and bought lots of food without telling the staff. Haseul & Yeojin What do you find amazing about her? Haseul: Our Yeojin is really cute. She has a cuteness that us unnies can’t express, and there’s times when she’s staring off into space where I think she’s cute. Yeojin: I can always depend on unnie. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Haseul: Please go to sleep early. I’m worried because she sleeps very late! Yeojin: Please stop shaking the bed ♡ Unnie has a lot of aegyo ^_^ It’s very cute. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Haseul: Yeojin’s family and my family once went to an amusement park together; it was raining at the time, but we had lots of fun (lol). We also fed Ryan! Didn’t we, Yeojin? [T/N: Ryan is a Kakao Friends character, who is a lion] Yeojin: Recently going to unnie’s house and having fun all day is unforgettable. Vivi & Kim Lip What do you find amazing about her? Vivi: Her opinions are clear, and she has good observational skills. It’s cute when she sometimes becomes baby-like in everyday life. Kim Lip: Being the oldest, she gives appropriate advice and cheers you up when you go to her with your worries. She’s really a dependable unnie. She’s also a good cook, and looks like a doll when taking pictures. She has a different aura from others that comes from experience. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Vivi: Maybe the fact that she unexpectedly has a lot of aegyo. Kim Lip: Unlike how members will depend on unnie during tough times, unnie doesn’t talk to us about her worries. When unnie is having a tough time, or is worried about something, we’d like to cheer her up. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Vivi: We went to go see an exhibition, but there were too many people, and we ended up not being able to see it. Kim Lip: When we were still trainees, I wanted to help her get settled in Korea. The language, the culture, and such? I shared my mom’s cooking with unnie before, but now I think unnie knows more about Korea than I do. Jinsoul & Choerry What do you find amazing about her? Jinsoul: The best part about Choerry is she’s always smiling. She has a lot of aegyo, and is very cute. She also fits with a variety of concepts! I was recently amazed to see her give her frank opinion with a smile. She can speak well without making the listener feel uncomfortable. Choerry: She oozes charisma when she’s on stage, but normally she also has a lot of aegyo, so she has a lot of different charms. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Jinsoul: She doesn’t wake up to her alarm. Especially during promotions! Please don’t force me to wake up too~ Choerry: E~~~verything is good about her, except she gives out a lot of kisses, so I’d like her to hold back on that a little. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Jinsoul: Our most recent grilled hagfish date ♡ Choerry: We both like grilled hagfish, and we often go out to eat it. Every time we eat it, we’re filled with emotion, so we were super happy. Yves & Chuu What do you find amazing about her? Yves: You would think Chuu is just simply cute, but I think it’s cool that she adjusts well to various concepts, and that she can express her own colour. Chuu: I think, even if you were to work hard, it would be quite difficult to match unnie’s proportions and passion. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Yves: Even though she’s doing very well, and always producing good results, she is still not confident in herself… You’re doing very well!!! Chuu: Her habit of squatting when sitting. I’ve told her many times that it’s bad for her knees, but it hasn’t changed. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Yves: When Jiwoo was preparing for her solo debut, I was still a trainee living in the dorms and working hard with my diet. And so, I wasn’t able to eat much, but Jiwoo secretly gave me soy milk and other foods! I was really thankful for that. Chuu: I can’t forget when we went to the Han River, and ate ramyeon filled with cut-up peppers in my room. Go Won & Olivia Hye What do you find amazing about her? Go Won: Maybe it’s because she fits cool concepts more, but even though she seems to dislike cute concepts, when she actually does it, she does it really well. Olivia Hye: Go Won unnie is pretty, and has this mysterious aura to her. She also has a firm personality, and I feel like the more I get to know her, the more I think she’s a great person. On the other hand, you want her to fix this! What is something funny or unexpected about her? Go Won: She looks like she doesn’t have any interest in it, but she actually takes good care of the members. It’s even more surprising when someone who looks like that does (those sort of things). Olivia Hye: She’s bought too many electronics, so I want her to stop buying more. Her desire for electronics is too strong. She always asks whether or not she should buy it, but I always think “You’ll buy it anyway, so what’s the point of asking me?”. What first comes to mind when thinking about a memory between the two of you? Go Won: For the HULA HOOP MV shoot, we wore our outfits from LOONA yyxy, and we tried to recreate the cover jacket picture from when we debuted. When we first met, we were both formal and distant to one another, but now we are very close. Olivia Hye: When I had just joined the company, there was a time when Go Won unnie and I were talking on the practice room’s terrace. Unnie had also recently entered the company, so she understood my situation and feelings, and we were able to find many similarities while talking. I think that time was how our current relationship was made.

The gap between my charismatic self on stage and my normal mischievous self! Q2: When did you first sing or perform in front of people? What was the reaction of those around? I dreamt of becoming a singer since I was in kindergarten, so I took the initiative to choreograph and practice for the kindergarten recital, but my stage outfit was too big, so my pants slowly slipped down during the performance, and I remember everyone was laughing while I was crying.

  • [Fancafe] Yves (211128)

    To Orbits, Because I’m still shy about being congratulated, even by Orbits whom I love Pretending not to know for a few days, and with the excuse of not knowing how to start this letter for another few days... I put it off and put it off, and now I’m holding this pen. (At dawn on the due date… *snoring*) Fascinating thing is, I live my life while forgetting my solo debut date! Then around this time the company takes care to ask, “Yves… Please write a letter for your solo debut date” I get surprised and, at the same time, more than a little sad. So this year’s wrapping up too, it’s wintertime! This year, winter has come particularly quickly. Though I’m someone who likes the transition from summer to autumn... I rubbed my eyes in the early dawn to meet but the fall didn’t come, Should I call it the feeling of being left alone on an empty, cold porch. So I’m still sad and don’t like the winter that arrived without any regard!!! ㅡ ㅡ When it’s dark outside when I look through the small window while practicing, Despite living through the same 24 hours, as if I’m alone living in a different time zone, not being able to get used to the much shorter daytime, When I touch my phone with my fingertips, going numb even after briefly meeting the outside air, Now, I feel that I have no choice but to face the winter. But then, why am I always talking about winter and the same thing again in these letters? Why am I spending these precious lines with the fact that I don’t like winter…? Ah is it by chance that Orbits, to me, are like a school vice principal? Am I in trouble? (If there are vice principal Orbits, I apologize. I like vice principal-nim.) These thoughts cross my mind ㅠ hahahaha To say that it’s simply because it’s cold… Since winter just brings out lots of thoughts like this. The first reason that comes to mind is probably, of course, inevitably, Orbits. The reason why a difficult-to-explain emotion blooms, even when it's just one page of the four seasons I experience every time is probably that the story of ours that I once left a bookmark in was unwittingly reopened by me, led by the temperature of the season. Though I’m not with Orbits every morning and every evening, it still feels like we’ve always been together When you want to be with and see someone all the time, that’s love, right?♡ I thought long and hard for another reason, and I came up with regret, feeling sorry, and also anger towards “myself”!?!?!?!” hahahahaha Many emotions themselves end up being the reason. Definitely when 2021 began, I wanted to live like “Anne of Green Gables”, so I actually bought an “Anne of Green Gables” diary, you know? They gave Anne stickers if you bought it so I wrote in my diary daily and stuck pretty Annes too while wrapping up the day. It wasn’t bad at the start… Likely, my friend Anne is probably asleep in the drawer. Sorry, friend. I read somewhere that to succeed, you need to develop various habits. Of those, one of them was to consistently be logging, but I’m a woman who has Orbits so I’ve already succeeded. Actually at the start of the year, like everyone else, I had already written the things I definitely wanted to achieve over the year in the first page of the diary. And confidently entered the dreams I really wanted to achieve on my phone (though in reality I’m the only one who sees it…) Whenever things were tough I took it out, but there are still so many things I didn’t accomplish haha After just leaving it in my head, then running into reality, the me in the present and the dreams in my head got all tangled up, and grew even bigger next time, and later it just all felt so vague. I hate that so much! I’m me! What can’t I do!!! Me! A precious daughter of a mom! Orbits’ darling, Ha Sooyoung! Even if it takes a long time, I’ll slowly accomplish them, one by one. And every time that happens, I hope that Orbits will say I worked hard and pat me on the head! But, though this is the second reason, it ended up being Orbits again. Thinking about it, for me, everything after November 28th 2017 was because of Orbits. As I was sincere in every moment, I was clumsy, so I don’t watch videos of myself, Towards those who loved me despite all that, how could I not be thankful? My Orbits, who are the sure, full stop at the end of my many worries. The reason I don’t like winter is because I like Orbits. Because with the start of winter, I feel apologetic towards Orbits But, Now I want to be thankful. Because Orbits are with me this winter too No, because, through Orbits, I’ll be able to bloom again after the winter! Ultimately my start and end are Orbits Even if the orbit of these four seasons goes round and round No matter how dizzying it is Again, at this spot, I’m here. Because I’m embarrassed to say “I love you” And I’m afraid that a “thank you” would come across as not sincere enough With my feelings, conveyed with great, great difficulty I’ll discreetly fold the corner at around the last page of our November 2021 and go. In hopes that I can open this page again, With you, whom I wrote this winter passage with, Around this time next year. From Sooyoungie 2021.11.28 Original Fancafe Post

  • [News] Sports World: Blockberry Creative in Serious Financial Difficulties... (210928)

    Blockberry Creative in serious financial difficulties of billions of won, including non-payment of taxes, wages, and service costs Blockberry Creative, the agency of K-pop group LOONA, is facing a severe financial crisis which has lit a red light on LOONA’s future activities. According to multiple music industry sources on the 28th [of September], unpaid bills towards numerous contractors and external personnel who have worked with Blockberry Creative currently range from tens to hundreds of millions of won. These companies and workers have performed their duties diligently despite months without compensation, sometimes enduring personal financial difficulties. However, it has been confirmed that the hair, makeup and stylist agencies were recently notified by Blockberry Creative to “quit working” in a pressuring, power-abusive manner. Cooperation among and participation of various partners are crucial to album production, but now the unseasoned operation of Blockberry Creative is causing difficulties on further album production. According to multiple industry sources, Blockberry Creative’s financial troubles have been a longstanding problem. The financial squeeze is so severe that even internal company employees’ salary and expenses have been delayed for several months or not paid on time, and social insurance taxes have gone unpaid as well, the sources said. Sources say that while Blockberry Creative intends to work towards improving this dire financial situation involving billions of won in back taxes, unpaid wages, and unpaid contractor fees, there is no easy resolution in sight. There is the further concern among fans that even as Loona's member Chuu has been at the center of affection through voracious activities and adorable image, the company's finances may be putting their earnings - the most important issue for an idol - at risk. Blockberry Creative is currently headed up by Kim Seon-hye, the wife of former CEO Lee Jong-myeong. These financial issues appear to have Loona's future activities in unclear straits.

  • [News] Statement by Blockberry Creative on Allegations Against Its Artists (210223)

    Hello. This is Blockberry Creative. The Company would like to expand on our position regarding the material being circulated online today (23rd) about Loona, a Company artist. After encountering the initially circulated material about Loona, the Company worked to first clarify the facts of the matter to the best of our ability. After assessing all circumstances and situations that an agency can confirm, not to mention an in-depth conversation with the member in question, we firmly express the below position. The material on Loona currently online is clearly false information and malicious in nature. We have thus decided that we can no longer condone the indiscriminate dissemination of falsehoods regarding Loona, and in order to protect our artist, we are preparing to file a lawsuit on the 24th for defamation by dissemination of false information, with the law firm Lee & Ko. Additionally, as we are discovering malicious posts that qualify as defamation, disseminating baseless false information while mentioning our artist's real name, we will obtain evidence and respond strongly against the disseminators. Further, we thank all who love Loona, and we promise that the Company will do our best to protect our artists. We make a final request. Please refrain from speculative reporting based on unconfirmed assertions and the indiscriminate dissemination of online posts. Thank you. Original Article

  • [News] Star News: LOONA's Agency Loses 3.5 Billion KRW Lawsuit (200213)

    The agency of the girl group LOONA lost a 3.5 billion (~3 million USD) KRW investment lawsuit this month, which is expected to have a significant impact on the group's activities in the future. According to a Star News investigation from this Wednesday, LOONA's agency Blockberry Creative lost a lawsuit recently filed by Donuts, the company’s second-largest shareholder, and is to return the 3.5 billion KRW (~3 million USD) invested by Donuts. According to the Seoul Central District Court's civil case ruling, Donuts invested 3.5 billion KRW in Polaris, the parent company of Blockberry Creative, but claimed that the agreed-upon contract, which included LOONA’s appearances in relation with Donuts' business, was not fulfilled. As a result, the court ruled that Polaris should return the entire investment as it violated the terms of the investment. Donuts invested ~5.5 billion KRW (~4.6 million USD) in Blockberry Creative and Polaris, including the 3.5 billion KRW in the aforementioned investment, and reportedly suffered losses due to the breach of the contract with Blockberry Creative and Polaris. Donuts does not know how the investment was spent, and is requesting permission to browse and duplicate accounting logs and other documents in order to learn the details. Under investment agreements, Donuts plans to exercise claims regarding LOONA so as to prevent the group's agency affiliation from being changed or transferred. Donuts had previously filed a separate lawsuit against Polaris, seeking 360 million KRW in deposits for space leases (~300,000 USD). It seems that the loss of the 3.5 billion KRW lawsuit could affect LOONA's future activities, as Blockberry Creative and Polaris must jointly return large sum of investment funds following the loss. Meanwhile, LOONA, gaining huge popularity overseas, recently released a mini-album [#], and made a comeback with the title track "So What." The group has garnered great attention for being the first group that Lee Soo-man has produced for outside SM entertainment. Original Article

They were the first K-Pop girl group to succeed in charting on the North American radio chart 9 weeks in a row, solidifying their position as a global girl group. Even their latest mini album '&', released this year, was No. 1 on the US iTunes album chart. They are a 12-member girl group currently on the rise, with all five albums released so far topping the US iTunes charts.

  • [News] Ilgan Sports: Appeal on Repayment of Loona's 3.5 Billion Won Investment Rejected (200914)

    [Exclusive] Appeal on Repayment of Loona's 3.5 Billion Won Investment Rejected; Initial Ruling Upheld An appeal filed by the group Loona's label regarding the lawsuit for repayment of 3.5 billion won (~3 million USD) of investment funding has been rejected. Loona must return the full amount to the investor. On the 14th, the Seoul High Court (35th Civil Affairs Division) upheld the initial ruling in the appellate suit filed by Loona's agency, Blockberry Creative, and its parent company, Polaris, against an investment repayment lawsuit. It explained, "The Loona party was absent on more than two hearing dates of the appellate suit, so the appeal is considered withdrawn." Thus the agency's appeal has been rejected, and Polaris and Blockberry Creative must return the full 3.5 billion won to the investor, Donuts. The ruling of full repayment casts a red light on the company's management as well as on Loona, which has activities forthcoming. Donuts, the second-largest investor in Blockberry, initially filed a repayment lawsuit claiming that it had invested 3.5 billion won in Blockberry's parent company of Polaris but Loona had not fulfilled the promised contract. The court initially ruled that "The Loona side must return the invested amount in full", and the agency filed an appeal. The case was sent to the High Court in February, but as both sides did not attend the hearing dates, the appeal has been rejected. Polaris was also involved in litigation against Donuts last year. Polaris partnered with Donuts in 2017 to begin the Loona development project, and received 400 million won (~340,000 USD) to be used as deposit towards a space lease (place-based branding contract). However, they were sued for failing to repay 360 million won, deducting the repaid amount of 40 million. The court sided with Donuts. It has been reported that Donuts plans to assert rights on Loona according to the investment agreement, so as to prevent Loona from having its agency affiliation changed or transferred. Loona debuted as a 12-person full group in August 2018, and garnered attention for production by chairman Lee Soo-man of SM Entertainment. Loona won first place in Mnet's "M! Countdown" in March with "So What". The group is preparing for a comeback in this latter half of the year. Original Article

  • [News] StarNews: Exclusive - Loona's Agency Blockberry Creative in Ownership Dispute (210824)

    According to an exclusive StarNews investigation, Blockberry Creative, the agency of K-pop girl group Loona, is embroiled in an ownership dispute. In 2017, the Japanese IT company Donuts struck a branding deal with Polaris for "MyLive", an entertainer audition app, but the deal did not progress well. The Donuts branding deal involved Polaris Entertainment, the parent company of Blockberry, to rent out a portion of the entertainer trainee academy (music training facility) that it operates in the Shinsa-dong neighborhood of Seoul's Gangnam District, and for Donuts to pay 400 million KRW in deposit and 10 million KRW per month in service fees. The contracting parties were Donuts, Ilgwang Polaris (now Polaris Entertainment), and Lee Jong-myeong. Lee Jong-myeong was named on the contract as a joint guarantor for the obligation for the deposit to be returned. The contract term expired on October 28, 2018. Through a deposit return lawsuit from 2019 against Polaris, Donuts won a court order to receive back the deposit with interest. However, despite the court decision, Polaris has yet to return the deposit and interest. Joint guarantor Lee Jong-myeong is also refusing to take responsibility, citing a lack of assets. Thus in 2017, in order to preserve its right to monetary claims against Lee Jong-myeong who is not only the joint guarantor on the 2017 contract but also known as the de facto owner of Polaris and Blockberry, Donuts has filed a lawsuit to return the stock owned by Kim Seon-hye, Lee's wife and Blockberry's current chair, into Lee Jong-myeong's ownership. The pleading filed by Donuts claims that Lee Jong-myeong has placed Blockberry stock in a name trust with his wife Kim Seon-hye, and that the actual owner of that stock is Lee. Donuts is demanding that Lee break the stock's name trust agreement, and carry out the change on Blockberry's shareholder register to transfer the stock back under Lee's name. However, Lee Jong-myeong is not complying with this. As a result Donuts, as the creditor, has now requested the change in shareholder register on Lee's behalf, in order to preserve Lee's executable property. Donuts asserts that Blockberry has an obligation to carry out the register change and transfer the stock into Lee's name. If Donuts' lawsuit is admitted, chair Kim Seon-hye's stock will be entirely transferred to be under Lee Jong-myeong's ownership. This is expected to have significant impact on Kim's share of Blockberry ownership. Previously, Donuts won a recent lawsuit for repayment of investment funds against Loona's agency Blockerry and Polaris, receiving back over 4 billion KRW in investment principal and interest. Loona, consisting of 12 members (Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Yeojin, Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Chuu, Go Won, Olivia Hye), is a global star group garnering popularity both domestically and abroad.

  • [Article] Pilates S Interview with Heejin (201201)

    "A journey following the light into tomorrow, Loona's Heejin" Follow The Light For Better TOMORROW This seemingly endless year is drawing to a close. Wading through the thick mist, hoping for the dark shroud to be lifted, it's a time to fly towards a brighter tomorrow. A small joy, to be able to face each other intimately and laugh, wherever, together. As we wish that one day we won't even remember the haze of today, we followed a single ray of light together with Loona's Heejin. I recall that you debuted sensationally as Loona's first member. Is there a role or character that you've held down in the team since then? I was the very first, so they call me "Dangun Heejin". Haha! And the fans, because my representative animal is the rabbit, affectionately call me "Heekki" which I'm grateful for. It's a name that I absolutely love. Haha! And within the team, my role is the one who creates a serious atmosphere, true to my personality. Curious to know how you came to debut first out of 12 girls. I'm passionate about everything I do, so even as a trainee I had a lot of desire to be diligent at whatever it might be. I think they saw sincerity in that, and thought of that as good. How would you evaluate your own personality? I'm someone who's always on the serious side, but once I get excited I really hit the peak that way too! To be honest, in some ways this seriousness is good because it helps me to always think deeply, but I also think it's a negative because people don't approach me or become playful with me very easily. Which part of your looks are you most confident in? My nose! I like that vibe in photos or videos of my side profile, when the ridge of my nose shows up subtly. In promotions there seems to be no concept you cannot handle, from innocent to sexy to girl crush. I do have this desire to try and handle any concept well, and because I live by the mantra that "People live the way they think", before I start something I don't trap myself in a negative thought like "This probably wouldn't fit me..." Among your albums and songs to date, what would be your 'one pick', the one that fits your style and taste the best? Among the title tracks, "Butterfly" released in 2019! I think the mysterious and dreamy mood cradled in the music drew out Loona's charms the best. Would also love to know the music genres you listen to and enjoy on your own time. Rather than limiting to one genre, I like to mix different kinds of music and listen diversely. Genres like K-pop, pop, dance, R&B, hip-hop, jazz, and so on all have distinct characteristics so I think I discover something new to enjoy every time I listen. What do you listen to when you want to dance, or become sentimental? I like to put a K-pop chart or Idol Hot 100 playlist on shuffle and dance to it. When I want to be sentimental, I enjoy Ariana Grande's "POV". We'd be remiss to not discuss [12:00], the third mini album released in October. Could you explain how it came to be and the concept? [12:00] consists of four different concepts under one big concept of the "Midnight Festival", as we tell the story of a midnight festival unique to Loona in a fantastical way. We wanted it to contain diverse colors different than before, so we painstakingly worked on it for quite a long time, studying the right atmosphere that fit each concept. What's the track that you were most attached to before and after release? "Universe"! I was attached to it even before the release, maybe because that song contains the words we want to express to the fans with sincerity. The title calls to mind the universe and it relates to "Orbit", our fandom name, so after release I've gained even more affection for it. I've heard that [12:00] has garnered the most popularity out of all your albums so far, and accomplished astonishing sales figures. If I could dare to guess, it might be that in this difficult time with COVID-19, people were stuck at home while socially distancing and suppressing their innate joy, and [this album] struck their tastes. In particular, there's an addictive chorus that makes everyone lift their shoulders and dance, and I think that had its own fatal appeal for many people who love K-pop. Through [12:00] promotions, Loona entered the Billboard 200 for the first time, and also achieved the Artist 100 and eight Billboard charts. Really curious how you feel. I debuted first among the Loona members and I've been here from the days when we were just establishing the basics of the team's direction and overall image. So watching us grow continually like this, I not only feel my heart swelling, I also feel proud. Going forward, I want us to be a team that maintains our beginner's mindset and humility, but also look towards somewhere higher and move step by step into a better tomorrow. The music video of "Star", the English version of side track "Voice", was recently released and is again gathering attention. "Voice" and "Star" have the same melody but the lyrical content is different. I think that distinct charm makes it enjoyable for fans to track down. In particular as we took care in including the English version in this album, we tried to take a step closer to the global fans who love Loona and to ease any disappointment they may have felt so far, as much as we could. Lots of questions about "Star". First, how did this song come to be in English? The key to "Star" is that it's connected to Orbits, who always inspire Loona. The stars in the concept photos and the music video all represent Orbits, and I think as it contains our love towards global fans, people across the world have been reacting warmly to it. I heard that on November 20, a well-known U.S. radio station (102.7 KIIS FM) officially played "Star", putting up advance notice on Twitter. In these ways you're garnering great popularity abroad. How much of it are you realizing? I have family in Brazil, and once they told me that Loona appeared on the local news there. Seeing stuff like that is fascinating, and I'm truly grateful that we can be connected as one through music even in different countries. Do you plan to start global promotions in earnest? Once things get better, I want to go meet global Orbits as soon as possible. And extending this festival concept of the [12:00] album, I want to perform on world-renowned festivals and show off unique Loona performances with passion and dazzle. Above all, starting with the "Star" music video, we're going to find whatever way we can to increase channels through which we can communicate with global Orbits. Album promotions must have kept you incredibly busy. How do you maintain your health and figure usually? No matter how busy I am, I never forget to take my supplements! With my meals too, I plan around a healthy diet and always stick to low carb, high protein. But I love bread too much to deny myself, so I look for the healthiest bread I can find like vegan or protein bread, and that's how I'm maintaining my diet. Based on today, it seems like you also exercise a lot. When I'm off promotions I never let my body rest, like a workout addict. Even during promotions, whenever I get a little break I try to move my body as much as I can. Even today between the shoots I was busy doing core workouts. Did you ever learn pilates as well? I attended a pilates studio regularly during a hiatus, and I felt really attached because it's an exercise that allows me lots of time to focus on myself. And pilates also helped me realize that routine habits shape my body, so I plan to make more time to learn it more passionately. The concept of the December issue's cover story is "a better tomorrow made by Heejin who chases after the light". Do you think the pictorial turned out as well as you hoped? I think they took everything I wanted to express and filmed it in a really pretty way. This pictorial had diverse concepts so I thought of it as challenging myself, and I felt myself growing more through the shoot so I was very satisfied about that. Which concept or outfit from today did you like the best? The red outfit I wore for the cover photo! As much as I love the outfit, I'm a little disappointed in the final result too. I kept monitoring during the shoot and I was thinking that I still have such a long way to go. At the end of the year, what do you want to do and receive the most? An exciting Christmas party together with all the members! Lastly, a year-end message for Pilates S readers! Pilates S readers hello, this is Loona's Heejin! It was an infinite honor to be able to film as the cover model of December, the meaningful final month that closes out the year. Even as we all may be going through tough times due to the coronavirus, I will be wishing that at least this year-end will be filled with warm peace. I hope that the situation will improve next year and that we'll be able to meet you in person on diverse stages and new music. Until then, please show lots of attention and love to Loona and me, Heejin, as well as to Pilates S. Thank you!

  • [Article] Noblesse Men Interview with Yves & Chuu (210907)

    The Lovely Girls, Chuu and Yves Edited by Yang Bo-yeon, a freelancer, for Noblesse Men. Not the Album of the Month, or Movie, or Employee, or Recommended Stocks, but Girls of the Month. I had a culture shock when I first saw the concept photos of girl group Loona on social media. Like 12 magazine covers, each individual filling up the panels with different characters and loveliness. To think that the appearance of a girl could be this diverse. It was like seeing tubs of Baskin Robbins ice cream in all shapes and colors. These adorable, cute, pretty, innocent, and mature ladies thus filled up an entire year. In truth, the tools of a female idol group are predictable. They might dance in sexy or acrobatic ways, or match in synchronized choreographies, or have a unique concept or excellent vocal abilities. But Loona does all this well. They dance well, their angles are perfectly matched, and their singing is quite skilled. And then they show off their lovely sides through these varied charms. So Loona has no main vocalist or dancer. No wonder, because Loona consist of elite members, selected from fierce competition. They look hopelessly tender, but in reality they are well-prepared stars for the next generation. This issue of Noblesse Men met with two of these twelve girls armed with their own charms. It's the lovely yet adorable member Chuu, and Yves who attracts with her mature yet husky voice. The Girl Who Delivers Love, Chuu There's a girl who showed up on MBC's How Do You Play? this February and showed off a matchless charm. "Really? You know me? That's such a gift." (Everyone smiles) The girl's single utterance towards Yoo Jae-suk, said with a lively tone, expression and gesture like the protagonist of a romance comic, stood at the center of attention as it generated numerous memes. Her name is Chuu, this 1999-born girl who's a member of Loona, and she possesses a mysterious power to make everyone smile. As an idol she has stood on music show and performance stages and landed on six Billboard charts, and as a solo she is cruising through various variety shows and YouTube channel Chuu Can Do It. "There are so many moments when I am so grateful that it doesn't feel real. I especially never thought I'd get this much attention out of variety or YouTube content. I prepared diligently, of course, but I personally don't think I'm very humorous, so I just tried to show off my charms and that helped me enjoy the filming, and I think that showed through. Naturally." Chuu's behavior, like drawing a heart with her arms for Kim Gu-ra on MBC's Radio Star or shooting off winks with a smile filling her face, is a natural demeanor that cannot arise out of preparation or practice. "I grew up receiving so much love. And I was playful ever since I was little. I'm the oldest child, and I liked to play with my younger siblings too." As soon as she graduated from middle school, this love-filled girl came to Seoul from Hongcheon with a dream of becoming an idol. "The reason I decided I wanted to debut is, I thought I was someone who could return the love and energy that I received." Positive emotions including smiling can be a source of energy, and being able to deliver them to others so harmlessly is a talent. Surely it is. "Recently, I was thinking about what I am truly good at, what my strength is. And then it came to mind, that maybe my talent is being able to deliver positive feelings to someone who sees me," Chuu said with a confidence-filled gaze, as if to speak her true feelings despite embarrassment. As the Earth is not flat, neither is "girl with lots of aegyo" all there is to Chuu. "I'm thankful to receive so much attention for this tomboy-like appearance that I've shown on variety and YouTube, but in some ways I'm also left wanting. After being in front of the camera as Chuu, when I return to being Kim Jiwoo and get back to the dorm, I have all these thoughts. So I think the difference between Chuu and Kim Jiwoo is that they are people with different depths of thought." Through their most recent release "PPT" [T/N: "PTT"], Loona presented a fierce impression and sophisticated performance. "There are more music and performance concepts that I'd like to try. I want to perform with a refreshing concept like a fizzy sparkling drink, I want to do a stage holding just a mic and filling it up with only my voice like Beyonce's "Halo" that I did briefly on Radio Star, and I want to release a cool solo song too." Then what would Loona's strength be, as Chuu sees it? "We are girls with endless possibility who can definitely show more awesome music and performances going forward. We have a lot more to show you." Chuu, who had a smile on her face the entire time, suddenly spoke quietly with a confident expression. "We haven't even come halfway to the vision I'd imagined and desired. I'm going to work even harder. Really!" I smiled along with her. The Thoughtful Leader, Yves "I'm Yves, twenty-five years old. I'm the second oldest in Loona, and one of the three leaders. Each leader has a different style, and I have cool charisma too, but I think I'm the unnie that the dongsaengs can always come to with their problems." Yves is the thoughtful pillar that supports the twelve members of Loona. She's a multi-talented member who creates cheerful atmospheres, to the point that she's called the "Dependable Gag Character" within the group. "I'm a leader and all, so I want to show off a charismatic side on stage. So the things that symbolize me in Loona's concepts - the swan, burgundy, tuberose, apple, I love them all. Because I can show off a different charm than Ha Sooyoung's. Ha Sooyoung gets easily embarrassed, and finds it difficult to express herself frankly. On the other hand I think Yves is someone who's confident, bold, charismatic, and creates an alluring performance through that. Different right from the gaze." Then how about the name Yves? "I heard that the company had a lot of trouble deciding on my stage name. Lots of candidates, including Shasha and Jelly. Then they decided on "Yves", and I thought that this is the one." Yves' charms shine even in "New", her solo single released in 2017. From her uniquely mysterious attraction to sleek dance lines to elegant vocals, it summarized the charms of the rookie named Yves. ""New" is still a song I'm proud of, but I don't find myself listening to it much now. Because I could do it so much better now. We're already a fourth-year group. It's a long time if you see it that way, but we think we're still in the early stage. We want to go even further, even longer, and if it were a marathon we think this is the beginning course." If, as Yves says, Loona is still in their early stage, they would be an immensely high-achieving rookie. Every release garners millions of views for the music video, and their achievements are clear not only as a group, but also as individual artists and in variety. "When we heard that our song landed on six Billboard categories, we were in the practice room. My mind went blank, like is this real. We always prepared our performance the same way even before that, then, and even now, just going back and forth between the practice room and recording studio, and it was amazing to see our song on a global chart." But apart from that, Yves emphasized that she has a conviction in the future of the group called Loona. "We can handle any concept in a splendid way. Not only the performances that emphasize synchronization, but I also want to try a concept where we're playing freely on stage. If Loona was a tree, I think the twelve members would be flowers each with their own charms. A tree on which colorful and pretty flowers have bloomed." Whenever she spoke about Loona, Yves seemed proud and happy. Could one wish for anything more? "My dream is for Loona to do even better. And I wish for every member to be happy." Original Article

Please start by greeting the readers Everyone: "Hello at LOONA!" (continued on the next page) Haseul: "Hello, I'm Haseul. My representative animal is a white bird. Thank you." Kim Lip: "Hello, I'm Kim Lip. The representative animal is an owl and is in charge of red. Thank you." Heejin: "Nice to meet you, I'm Heejin. My animal is a rabbit. Thank you." Hyunjin: "Hello, I'm Hyunjin. The animal is a cat. Thank you." Go Won: "I'm a butterfly, Go Won. Thank you." Yeojin: "I'm Kerokero (frog), Yeojin. Thank you." Yves: "Hello, I'm Yves, the baby apple of Orbits. Thank you." Vivi: "Hello, I'm Vivi, LOONA's No. 1 Nee-chan (oldest member). Thank you." Chuu: "Hello, my animal is a penguin. I'm Chuu! Thank you." Choerry: "Nice to meet you, I'm Choerry! Thank you!" Jinsoul: "Nice to meet you, I'm Jinsoul. I'm in charge of "soul" among the members. Thank you." Olivia Hye: "Hello, I'm Olivia Hye, the scary eyes of LOONA (laughs). Thank you." ――First of all, please tell us your impressions of Japan's major debut. Olivia Hye: "I'm very happy to now make my debut in Japan. I've been preparing for a long time, so I'd like to continue to show you a cool and beautiful self." Hyunjin: "I'm very excited to make my debut in Japan, and I'm very happy. I want to continue to do my best." Jinsoul: "This time, we’ve decided to make our debut in Japan and challenge ourselves with a concept that is a bit different from our Korean activities. We will challenge ourselves with various concepts from now on, so please support us." Choerry: "I'm very sorry that I couldn't go to Japan directly, but I'd like to show "HULA HOOP" and "StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~" in front of the fans after this situation is over soon!!" Vivi: "I'm very happy to make my debut in Japan. I'm looking forward to future activities, it’s kind of a strange feeling." Chuu: "I'm very happy to make my debut in Japan this time, and I'm excited! I'm really looking forward to future activities in Japan." Yves (in Japanese): “I'm happy to finally make my debut in Japan. Please keep an eye on me moving onwards." Yeojin: "We prepared hard, because Japanese Orbits were waiting for us. I'm nervous, but I feel happy." Go Won: "I think I've come this far due to the support of all the Orbits out there. I want to return the favor, and I feel that this is a good opportunity. I'm very happy." Heejin (in Japanese): "We all wanted to make our debut in Japan before we made our debut in Japan, but I'm really happy to make our debut now! I want to meet Japanese fans soon." Kim Lip: "I'm really looking forward to debuting in Japan. I recorded in Japanese for the first time this time, but I worked hard so that the fans wouldn't feel that the Japanese was strange. Thank you for your support." Haseul: "Debuting in Japan hasn’t really hit me yet, but I'm nervous. I've been feeling a little more about this online talk event, but I feel strongly that I want to go to Japan and work. I look forward to working with you. " ――LOONA is a girl group that is attracting worldwide attention, but there are some people in Japan who don't know yet, so please tell us what kind of group LOONA is. Heejin: "LOONA had a distinctive debut project slogan, ’We meet a new girl every month’, and each member made a solo debut before our official debut in Korea. Like the seasons looking different, from January to December, each member has their unique charms. We’re a group that always has aspirations to challenge ourselves to show performances that break typical current patterns and expectations.” ――LOONA debuted one by one every month as you just said, but all of you really have the looks and performance ability to stand in the center, and I myself was shocked. Everyone: "Thank you!" ――Among others, what is the appeal of LOONA? Hyunjin: "After all, we made our debut solo before we all made our official debut in Korea, so I think it's attractive that each member has a solo song. Each member has their own individuality, and of course the feeling of the song is different. I think that fans will be happy to hear this." ――LOONA members are showing cool performances that are mainly full of girl-crush charm in Korea, but when you go off-stage, Chuu-san invented the "Chuu Heart." Do you think this gap is also a big attraction? Chuu: "Thank you! (Makes a Chuu Heart, making a heart by biting.) This Chuu Heart was made at a fan signing event. I was so glad to meet all the fans, and I just made it. However, everyone seems to be enjoying it, so I feel very happy (laughs). " ――So, please tell us what kind of single the long-awaited Japanese debut single "HULA HOOP / StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~" is. Haseul: “LOONA’s Japan debut single, 'HULA HOOP / StarSeed ~Kakusei' consists of 4 songs; 'HULA HOOP', 'StarSeed ~Kakusei~', 'PTT (Paint The Town)' and 'HULA HOOP City Pop Version'. 'HULA HOOP' and 'StarSeed ~Kakusei~' are double titles, and both songs contain a positive message about 'infinite possibilities in us'. Unlike the previous song 'PTT (Paint The Town)', we tried to create a cute and lively atmosphere for these songs, and we enjoyed the recording sessions. Since these songs are the first songs to be in Japanese for us, we were very careful in how we pronounced everything. We are very grateful to the fans who said they felt happy from listening to the songs, and we wish to go to Japan to show them face-to-face. ――I have listened to the songs as well, and your Japanese was very good. I could understand the Japanese lyrics without reading the written lyrics, and the nuances were perfectly delivered. It was really lovely. Everyone: "Thank you! (happy applause)" ――How do you usually study Japanese? Hyunjin: "I usually have a lot of schedules, so I studied by looking things up in a dictionary myself, and of course I had lessons too. With this being my first song in Japanese, the experience from past studies showed its strengths, I think." Heejin (in Japanese): “Japanese is a little soft but ‘PTT (Paint The Town)’ is a kind of strong song so it was difficult. ‘HULA HOOP’ and ‘StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~’ are bright songs so it was fun." Jinsoul: "My brother majored in Japanese at university, and I studied by sending video messages to see if my pronunciation was correct." Choerry: "I like movies and anime, so I watched a lot of Japanese anime to accustom my ears to more naturally listen to Japanese." Chuu: "I studied while watching Japanese peoples’ vlogs." Yves: "When I received a fan letter from Japanese fans, I looked up various words and studied while thinking about how to answer in Japanese." Vivi: "I learned basic Japanese through lessons. I think I learned Japanese better because there were many people who taught me when I went to the site." Yeojin: "I searched online when I didn't understand lyrics and Japanese words, and asked the member unnies, ‘what does this word mean?’ and studied." Go Won: "Similar to Yeojin-san, I studied by searching the internet for lyrics and Japanese words that I didn't understand." Kim Lip: "I think I got the basics while taking Japanese lessons with everyone. I did my best with the help of everyone at the company during the recording." Haseul: "I still don't know much about Japan, but I would say that I originally liked Japanese movies and anime, and learned pronunciation and nuances by watching them. From the producers and composers who were in Japan while recording, I got advice on pronunciation and nuance from everyone there and learned that way." Olivia Hye: "I think I improved my ability to write sentences by keeping a diary in Japanese. I studied listening while watching Japanese anime and movies. Even right now, I'm learning by listening to the interpreter, thinking about words and what they mean.” ――The CD jacket seems to be very cute, but please tell us the points of the outfits and what left an impression on you during the shooting. Yeojin: "It's a personal impression, but this outfit has a lot of plaid and uses a lot of colors. I tried to make it look cute, unlike previous concepts. This time,I took pictures with a big balloon, but I remember that it was soft and I wanted to fall asleep while hugging the balloon (laughs)." ――Please tell us about the songs. First of all, what kind of song is "HULA HOOP"? Kim Lip: "When I first listened to this song, I was surprised at how soft and cute the song was, unlike the previous songs. To be honest, I wondered if we could do it (laughs). But we can do it, after all thinking about pulling it off perfectly helped. 'HULA HOOP' is a song that says that you can be yourself as you are, or you can be yourself without putting on a facade. I liken myself to a hula hoop and convey a positive message that I can do what I want to do freely, even if I make a mistake while spinning around and around I can always just restart." ――What is the point choreo? Vivi: "This dance has a lot of gestures called 'fuu', and after all there are many movements like turning a hula hoop. Point dance is a "bubble gum dance" that inflates the gum by going 'fuu'. I imagined what each member’s dance would taste like if it were gum (laughs)." Olivia Hye: "'Bubblegum Dance''s 'fuu' movement is the hook, and it’s a very bright and cute dance. We are planning to upload a video in the form of a challenge on SNS, so everyone please try to imitate the dance." ――Please tell us the highlights of the music video and the story behind the shooting. Jinsoul: "This music video has a bright concept and there are a lot of dances. I think I was able to give 100% of the facial expressions and gestures to be lively and cute. This time, we made full use of chroma key composition. I hope you enjoy it in the music video." ――Next, what kind of song is "StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~"? Choerry: "'StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~ ' is a very cute song with an attractive synthesizer, like a fusion of K-POP and J-POP. When I first listened to this song, I was interested in it because it was a song with a concept I had never experienced before, and I thought it was a very fun song." ――If Yves, who is good at dancing, choreographed "StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~", what kind of image would we see? Yves: "'StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~ ' may feel very cute to everyone, but when I first heard it, I thought it was a refreshing song, including the lyrics. I love the Japanese anime 'The Girl Who Leapt Through Time', and I felt that the atmosphere is similar to that of the anime, so I would like to choreograph with that image. Maybe it suits Chuu-san very well." ―― "StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~" is "cho cho joayo (super super good!)", so it's very cute and memorable. Everyone: "♪ (singing) cho cho joayo ~" --Thank you! What is the "super super good" (cho cho joayo) that you have recently encountered? Olivia Hye: "We held an online showcase to commemorate our debut in Japan, and I was happy that Kim Tay MC’d and took great care of us. We received a letter and organic soap as gifts. After receiving those, we decided to do our best with my debut in Japan and do our best in the future. " Hyunjin: "At that time, we received a cake with our faces on it at the Japan debut showcase. I was very happy to see that cake and realize that we are making our debut in Japan." Heejin (In Japanese): "Something very good for me was that I personally made my debut in Japan and was really surprised to receive more support and love than I had expected. I thought from now on I need to do my best with training and other things." Jinsoul: "When I made my debut in Japan, I tried to brighten my hair. This time, I'm very happy and feel good with my eyelash perm (laughs)." Kim Lip: "I'm very happy that the clothes I had ordered that I hadn't received before arrived the other day (laughs)." Haseul: "This time, when I was practicing ‘HULA HOOP’, the straps of my shoes suddenly came loose, but at that time, Olivia tied them back up. After that, I felt happy enough to brag to the members for about 3 days (laughs)" (Olivia is shy) Choerry: "Recently, I went to eat hagfish grilled with Jinsoul. It was very delicious and I was happy. (laughs)" Chuu: "I was very happy that the vitamin I was asking for arrived the other day (laughs)." Vivi: "I'm very happy to make my debut in Japan, and I'm very happy to hear that the Japanese Orbits are very happy." Yves: "I like the sea, but when I was lonely because I couldn't go, Haseul told me to go for a while and I went with her. I was very happy (laughs)" (Haseul also made a peace sign and smiled) Yeojin: "The other day, I was watching a scary horror movie on the sofa, and Olivia-san surprised me with 'WA~!' Of course I was scared, but it was very fun (laughs)" Go Won: "The other day, I got Olivia's pants that I've always wanted! I was very happy!" (Member, envy) ――Olivia is quite popular, Olivia Hye (in Japanese): "No, no (laughs)" ――Now, please tell us about "PTT (Paint The Town) Japanese Ver." Chuu: "This song has a music video that has an important point that leads to our music videos so far. For example, there is a scene where Kim Lip puts on a uniform. It's also my favorite song, and I was very proud of the fact that the Orbit people also liked it. " ――Energetic dance was attractive, but what is the point choreo? Go Won: "Point dance is a ‘water strider dance’ that’s like a water strider floating on the water, and there is also a dance like playing guitar in the air." (Hyunjin shows us the dances) ――You talked about a music video a little, but how was the shooting? Olivia Hye: "I personally find this song difficult, and in the music video I shot a scene where I play a drum in a circle of fire, and I shot a lot of different scenes with the members. I hit the drum over 100 times, but when it was over, I remember Jinsoul taking a nap a little and talking in a slightly faint voice during the interview (laughs)" (everyone burst into laughter) ――Please give a final message to Japanese fans. Yeojin: "The Japanese album has finally come out and we are making our debut in Japan. We will do our best as much as you have been waiting for us. Thank you!" Go Won: "This time, we will meet you with a new concept. I am very grateful to all the Japanese Orbits for their happiness. Thank you for your continued support for many activities." Hyunjin: "I'm making my debut in Japan this time. I want to do my best to meet the expectations of Japanese fans. Let's make a lot of memories!" Heejin (in Japanese): "Please listen to LOONA's 'HULA HOOP / StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~' a lot! Let's meet in Japan soon ~. I love you 💓" Kim Lip: "I am very grateful that I will be loved by many people for my debut, even if I can't meet you in Japan this time. LOONA will continue to play an active role in the future. So please give us a lot of interest and affection." Jinsoul: "I'm very sorry that I couldn't meet Japanese fans in person, but I think I was able to give everyone a present with this album. I'm very happy. Later, I want you to tell me about the delicious restaurants that are popular in Japan. I definitely want to go and enjoy it." Haseul: "I'm officially making my debut in Japan this time, but I'm very sorry that I couldn't show you ‘HULA HOOP’ and ‘StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~’ directly. I hope there will be various opportunities such as concerts and fan meetings in the future. I want to meet you guys! I love you 💓" Olivia Hye (in Japanese): "I would like to go to Japan and show you ‘HULA HOOP’. Please wait for us, thank you!" Choerry (in Japanese): "I really want to meet you guys. I love you ~ 💓 I’m Choerry ~ (waving)" Chuu: "We prepared a lot for ’HULA HOOP’ and ‘StarSeed ~ Kakusei ~’. I hope you enjoy it! Please provide support!" Vivi: "It's still difficult to meet in person, but I'll fly over as soon as the situation improves! Just a little more patience. Let's meet again later! Bye bye!" Yves: "I would like to give back with a bright song and a chemi (good compatibility) of the members to always support me. I will deliver it to everyone with happy energy, so please watch over me. I love you. 💓" Everyone: "This was LOONA!" Original Article

    Orbit hi hi💚🤍 Today is a birthday for me, Go Won🥳 It's my fourth birthday with Orbits and it never changes how precious and special this is each time. If I never got to meet Orbits, this would have been an ordinary day, and I'd have eaten the tteokbokki or shabu-shabu I like and ended the day But because I met Orbits, I get to have a truly happy day with pretty words I don't get to hear normally and lots of birthday wishes. I get to be with my Orbits, and that makes me truly the happiest person in the world(・ᴗ・̥̥̥ ) My Orbits, happy birthday to all of you too!! Thank you so much just for your existence♥ I hope you'll just never be sick and stay healthy. Orbit~~~~~~~~~~~ I love you~~~~~~~~~~~~~♥ Original Fancafe Post

    Hello Orbit! Today is my birthday🙊 First I’m so thankful that so many people wished me happy birthday ㅜㅜ I’m very fortunate! I think receiving so much love from Orbits like this, as well as from people around me and family, has made me an even lovelier person🥰 I’d like to return this love to Orbits and people around me! I’d like for everyone to live happily, since you need to live happily so that your mind and body are at rest! And more important than anything is health😉 lately the weather’s gotten cold, so hold off on looking cool for a bit, I hope you stay warm Orbit 🤣 I’m always thankful, thank you again, and I love you 🥺💛 Original Fancafe Post
