[Link to original post] Park Chaewon gave me this They're just like wings Once I dreamed about receiving wings If I get the opportunity, I'd love to tell the full story sometime I dream very often, and even though I think myself strange, on a day when I wake up refreshed, with gleaming eyes, I wonder what last night's dream was After thinking for a long time, my head starts to hurt again Anything can make you sad and disappointed, if you had it and lost it I never wanted that shape But when I kept the window open, the dawn breeze crafted it for me Who are you, breeze of such excellent skill Anyway, thank you Y V E S V was sick, but has shaken it off fully And when I dance in the living room, they gather like that and stare at me Please don't forget my ludicrous floundering from today But since you forget easily I'll dance again for you tomorrow ["And when I returned to the room, I too would be empty inside, and sometimes I would mimic the same expressions that the empty images would make when they called to somebody"] ["Ever since, in my eyes The half moon would often reflect Half would be white And half would be bright"] ["I would like my cause of death to be like yours The windows have already in part gone over the night. Even if it is not in our sleep I would like my cause of death to be like yours The way I mourn your dawn in this place is pondering how to never again face the dawn or how to stop such encounters before falling asleep"] Late night snacks [T/N: styled to also read as "sustenance"] for the mind I'm incapable of reading one book for a long time Maybe because of my hurried temper I want to read many books quickly So I bear the toil of having to reread two or three pages when I go to pick it up again Today's sustenance was a buffet And with my head, my heart, so full as to give me indigestion I again cannot fall asleep, like the yesterday of every day In a packed rectangular room. Random I was having sashimi and soju with Park Chaewon And some soju made it onto Park Chaewon's ssam wrap Once upon a time We used to clamor "A promise and the best all at once" And now we've ended up learning how to consume sashimi and soju at once This time please don't die I am not drunk The day of the profile shoot Me yesterday What will tomorrow's me look like? I wish you a warm and peaceful night

[Link to original post] It has been a year Since Haneul returned to nature And I too have aged a year, growing a little closer to nature And the seasons complete a cycle, reminding me of the body warmth of back then Then, despite that, what is it that remains the same, fighting against the gravity of time I bury my head in the laptop and ponder and realize that it's me, the way I am Perhaps this heaviness in my heart, this doubt when I breathe, whether I am breathing correctly Is because the worries tangled up like yarn in my head have sunk down further to the bottom Because I couldn't believe it was real Because the rabbit plush I hugged to sleep every night, denying nonexistence, wasn't enough I began to part, once again Every day, I step closer to parting The four goldfish, beckoned out of my loneliness Where did you all begin before you came to me? I told you to stop swallowing the rocks See, you'll spit them out anyway I feed you well too Also that is a wall You want to escape? Escape and you'll die The four goldfish that I brought because I was lonely Will not stay with me forever Will never be in the same place with me, even when they are Will never acknowledge me, even when I say the same thing again and again Don't fight, get along with each other. I see you when I wake up in the morning And when I come home, I wonder about your life or death Sometimes, I'm afraid to turn on the lights in the dark living room I felt foolish, because I brought you home despite knowing all along So today I just blankly stared you all day long But you will never know Goldfish are sad I am sad

[Exclusive] Chuu: “Fans also worried about me standing solo.. After moving agencies I looked for stability” “My grandma’s cooking is so great.” The moment Seollal came up, Chuu (Kim Jiwoo, 25) gulped at the thought. She couldn’t help but think of her grandma making doraji-muchim (spicy bellflower root side dish) by hand back in her hometown. “She really likes making food mixed by hand. Dorachi-muchim, dodeok-muchim, minari-muchim… I reeeally like my grandma’s food.” Reminiscing on memories of happy past holidays, Chuu’s face lit up with a smile. “During the holidays I’d always receive spending money from my grandma but two years ago I started giving her spending money instead,” Chuu added, “she tried not to show how much she loved that but I think she couldn’t help but show it a little,” laughing brightly. Chuu came to Starnews in a hanbok for Lunar New Year. As the nickname “human vitamin” would suggest, she filled the interview site with her bouncy energy. “I feel like I’m a princess when wearing hanbok. Keeps making me feel like fluttering the skirt, and doing a spin.” Having burst onto the music industry like a shooting star as a member of the girl group LOONA in 2018, she said brightly, “It feels like a really long time since the interview I did with the members in hanbok, not long after debuting.” “I think hanbok looks great on me, so I want to wear one every day. It feels like I need to shoot a historical drama.” “Just after debut, I got very excited just to wear hanbok. But the dyed hair didn’t really suit it. Now wearing a hanbok with darker hair, I think that suits it much better. I’m happy whenever I wear one. Back then, everything was new. At the time, I felt like I was giving a present to the fans, thinking, “The fans would love seeing an interview with me wearing hanbok. It’s an outfit we rarely show so it’s exciting to be able to do that. The photos are going to look great. Ah~ I look good.” For Chuu, last year was more special than any other year because she settled down at a new agency and started her solo activities in earnest. Her first solo album Howl, released last October, incorporated her unique sentimentality and appealing musical tone. It showed Chuu’s musical transformation, as she set out alone, five years after her debut. Including the title track “Howl”, a total of five tracks were on the album, with “Underwater,” “My Palace,” “Alien,” and “Hitchhiker.” Chuu said, “Fans were worried since it was my first time doing activities as a solo act. While they were expectant, they were also worried that I would feel pressured while doing this alone,” and recalled, “I didn’t feel too much pressure. Compared to how worried the fans were, I enjoyed it all so much. Because the fans were rooting for me so much, I only have good memories of that. It was a year in which I got off to a good start, set clearly defined goals, and took a step towards those goals.” “Howl” was also included in U.S. music media outlet Billboard’s “25 Best Kpop songs of 2023.” It was  recognition for her musical talents as a solo singer. She was the only female solo singer selected in the Billboard list. Growing to be a global artist, Chuu quenched her thirst for the stage with a tour in December that spanned six cities in the U.S. “When I heard that I’d go on a U.S. tour under my name, I was filled to the brim with excitement. In fact, I received even more energy and love from fans in the U.S. Through the tour I learned about the joy of performing onstage. I had an even better time than I thought I would. I was onstage alone from start to finish, but I wanted to show so much that I was more passionate than worried. I had the bold goal of showing them my energy.” Chuu did not forget to thank her agency that supported her new leap materially and mentally. ATRP is a new agency that was established last year by CEO Kim Jin-mi, who served as director at WM Entertainment, having produced idol groups such as B1A4 and Oh My Girl. Chuu signed an exclusive contract with ATRP in April of last year. Chuu said, evaluating herself, “I’m so thankful for how they looked into what sort of character I could be even more than I did, and how they continue to inspire me with courage,” adding, “Thanks to them, I discovered what I’m most happy, and best at, doing. As such, I received a lot and took away a lot from preparations for Howl. Thanks to the great staff and company atmosphere, I could find stability and carry out my activities. It was a big year of growth for me.” — [Exclusive] Chuu: “♥ IU 365 days a year.. I want to shine powerfully and firmly” Chuu gave herself a 8/10 for her first solo activities. “I gave myself a high score since I think I had a good start, but I also got nervous a lot too. And I still have a thirst for being onstage.” Having just passed the starting point now, Chuu’s potential as a solo artist is endless. Chuu said, “I think I began with a concept that people didn’t expect and weren’t familiar with in order to overcome my limits. I wanted to show the possibility of myself attempting endlessly different genres too,” adding, “Honestly I thought that ‘Howl’ was a song that was fairly distant from myself. I’m content and thankful because I too felt the message this song has, and the emotions that the public felt about it.” She also confessed, “I’m also planning a little present for the fans, to give early this year.” Chuu’s musical role model is IU. Chuu said, “I most want to resemble how she melds the messages she wants to convey to the general public into song while having freedom in her music activities, how she gets many people highly expectant, and how she always shines,” adding, “I want to be someone who shines strongly and firmly like IU sunbaenim.” Unfortunately, she has yet to meet IU in person. Chuu said, revealing how much of a fan she is, “I’d be so happy if I met her. These days I’m seeing her 365 days a year through video only. I listen to and watch sunbaenim’s songs every day. The songs that I practice most often are sunbaenim’s songs, and the styles that I like are her styles. All the songs she has released regardless of genre, including the remakes, too. I think I like sunbaenim’s voice.” As for her favorite IU song, she selected “Dear Name” from IU’s 4th album Palette, released in 2017. Chuu said, “It was the song I listened to most often while leaning my head on the bus window as a trainee,” explaining, “The lyrics reached out to me very much during a period in which my self-esteem was low. Since the song had the message of, ‘To all names, you’re pretty and beautiful as you are. Regardless where either of us are, I’ll be shouting your name,’ I listened to the song many times, being really moved, heart fluttering. I thought that I would also like to make a song with such a message. It was the song that comforted the most during my period of growth as an adolescent.” — [Exclusive] Chuu: “The LOONA members, steadfast partners.. Worry the most when it’s tough for me” While they are now scattered in different places, the LOONA members are still dependable colleagues whom Chuu relies on and cheers on the most. Their bonds have grown deep as they’ve been together through thick and thin. “I went to the ski slopes a week ago with the members. And we hang out often on a whim, if we’re bored. If we’re hungry we eat together, we get nail art done, we watch TV and watch performances as we talk about the old days and get embarrassed and so on.” Chuu referred to the LOONA members as “the people whom I tell how I’m really feeling before anyone else, the ones I go to before anyone else when I’m having a hard time”, and expressed her affection for them, saying, “all of them are quick to notice things, so when I call them and my voice sounds like I’m hurting, they run over right away. It’s hard even for family to do that. They’re precious friends who worry about me the most during hard times.” The LOONA members have re-formed girl groups at different agencies, such as Loossemble and ARTMS, to continue their careers as singers. Sending heartfelt encouragement to the members, she said, “the members are partners who have watched each other’s growth for a long time. As I’ve watched their performances, the feeling I got was ‘So this was what they wanted to do’, ‘They’re really flying around.’ I saw them being genuinely happy. I’m so proud to watch from their side as they achieve the things that they had always said they wanted to do in our conversations.” The multi-talented Chuu is also standing out in the variety sphere. Last year, she starred as an MC on Channel A’s survival program Steel Troops 3, and as a master on TV Chosun’s competition program Mr. Trot 2. Regarding the variety shows she’d like to appear on in the future, she said, “I get energy from watching singing content. I’d like to try being a judge on an audition program where I can watch people sing, like Sing Again. I fall too short right now, but once I have a decent amount of experience and I’m able to give personal help to hoobaes like the great sunbaenims can, that’s when I’d like to try.” She is also planning to be more active in music this year. “I got more ambitious when I heard I was picked by Billboard for the first time as a female solo. “Howl” receiving so much love made me want to do album promotions more frequently. I’d like to hold a concert where I can communicate with fans up close. If possible, I want to go meet fans in Korea outside of Seoul too. I feel like my musical spectrum has widened as well. I’d like to show diverse charms that aren’t just the public image that people anticipate from me. Chuu did not forget to leave an affectionate message for the fans as well. “You embraced me with much love and gave me courage, and you’ve been by me through every moment whether hard or joyful. In 2024, I want to create more happy occasions for you. Dear Kkotis (Chuu’s fandom), hope you have an exciting start to the new year. Please always be healthy.” — [Exclusive] “LOONA, lifelong companions” - Chuu: contract dispute → after taking off as a soloist (Excerpt) There also exists a group chat where just the members talk among each other. For the group chat name, she said she used an icon of the moon, which represents LOONA. “Adults say that your friends from school last forever, but in idol culture, I think that members you’ve been in the same group with last forever. When you’re having a tough time together it’s tough, when you’re all happy you’re happy, so I think you get to know each other the best, and can sympathize with each other the most. Partners in work before, now companions. They’re people I lean on, in a way.” (Sources: 1, 2, 3, Full)

[Link to original post] From, Blog-ssi Did you have a full and warm Seollal? Please share records from your holiday weekend with photos! ["I figured many people must be curious about my day-to-day~"] To. Blog-ssi I am headed to Seoul soon... Why do holidays back home go by so quickly.ᐟ Literally just food These days I viscerally feel That there is no happiness like eating well and sleeping well For this, I ended up having to do aerobics under the moonlit night last night And later on, I'm going to be rolling on the ground when I go to Seoul But I can say that this holiday weekend, I was wholly happy Yesterday I also went to the temple, and I prayed gratitude for helping me to overcome the difficult times well And I asked, if difficult things come find me again, to make me more mature than back then, and deal with it. (But I whined and asked for as little difficulties as possible) I also bought a new prayer beads bracelet, to protect my wrist this year as I begin 2024 Hey Bokpil, we're a couple ㅋㅋ You didn't pick up the phone so I just bought them When I can't sleep, I fidget with my prayer bracelet before falling asleep What do you all do when you can't sleep? Ah, recently I've also tried listening to extreme low-pitched singing bowls Anyway, after waking up late I write these rambles, hurriedly reviewing my holiday weekend How was the holiday weekend for you all Even if it wasn't overflowing with happiness I hope earnestly that at least it wasn't chillingly sad As I close this post I am reading every single feeling you are sending my way So please write comfortably, and don't think "This girl really reads everything?" I am not such an impressive person, I don't get that many comments ["Excuse me. You all even read my blog? I just realized. If I work hard to write blog post you should read them. Also comment."] Right? Anyway No longer false advertising huh? Bye~

[Link to original post] I moved into the new home. How come a new home doesn't feel like a new home; in this new home, full of things from the previous home and the one before that discarding and discarding some more, looking at the storage boxes, dirtied by touch blaming the foolish, impulsive purchases of the past I spend the wee hours of the morning organizing and organizing For your information, I have a cold and aches But I know nothing of that now, and will let tomorrow's self pay the price Please be healthy I thought it was faultless But today, that bumpy hardwood floor in the kitchen bothers me Perhaps the previous tenant used a lot of water It doesn't look good, so I quickly measured so I could buy a rug 80x190 The neat even numbers somehow make me feel better For I am listening to the Lily Chou-Chou soundtrack and I'm not feeling down at all This certainly proves I am in a good mood Maybe the place is built on fortunate grounds? Speaking of which, I don't remember my dreams so well lately What will I dream about tonight Will I remember it come tomorrow morning? I should sleep "Why aren't you sleeping?" My sister's question breaks the silence True, why am I not sleeping? While staring at the pointy and round and rustling sacks of moving luggage I opened the blog The stream of my consciousness is funny Anyway, I'll stop talking about myself here I wish you a blank dream tonight But not lonely, I hope, but instead warm and peaceful, one such dream Comments section: Own: Ha Sooyoung be happy Yves: Thanks to you

[Link to original post] From, Blog-ssi Blog-ssi is reading one book a month starting this new year. Please recommend a bestseller that would be good to read~ To. Blog-ssi For me lately, reading is basically that one you've escaped to a nice place escaping reality meme It's just like that.... What in the world is this girl saying, you ask ["You've escaped to a nice place" "Escaping reality"] Even when my head and mind are feeling complicated and heavy and loud If I grab a book and try to focus... And when I do begin to focus It's so much fun that I can't stop My essential item. What are these called? Post-Its? I say they're essential and don't even know what they're called [, , ] The top 3 I've been reading the most + and brand marketing book I have this reading notebook, where I sometimes copy text and sometimes summarize and sometimes I substitute into my circumstances and write down my thoughts It's kinda like a book discussion with myself ["There is no limits in the world of language. Any set of words can be combined. This is akin to becoming a creator, creating a world unique to yourself. A world of mysteries without rules, 'language'. Therefore, using the same word repeatedly may be a discourtesy to the limitless diversity of language. Wittgenstein said, "The limits of language is the limits of the world." The language you use is indeed your world. Of course, repeating words frequently does not make your life harder. But the reason to still think in and use varied language is because this expands your world. It is like a black sea, infinite like the void, where you lay up shining stars, one, two, three..... in infinitude."] This is from the writing book and it resonated so much.ᐟ 'The reason to still think in and use varied language is because this expands your world.' ["If you only follow the familiar path, you will never discover anything. "When people feel fear or cannot dispense with habits, the first thing they sacrifice is imagination." [Laurence Devillairs] Think about a new path, not the easy path. "A writer is someone who thinks up sentences. Thus, a sentence-thinker." [Roland Barthes] Of course, this originality is easy to say, but difficult to express in writing. In order to block off any familiar reactions from the reader, the Russian literary theorist Viktor B. Shklovskii suggested 'defamiliarization'. This is also called 'acting dumb', and the example in art is 'surrealism'. Rene Magritte drew a pipe over a title of 'This is not a pipe', asking the question: 'What?' to the viewer."] ["The explanation in , writing about a Korea which has become addicted to abundance while running from anxiety, was exactly correct. When we are nervous, we try to cover up that situation with something else. Lonely people wrap themselves in ever more extravagant clothes and makeup. They try to fill their mental anxiety with quantitative abundance, but that is all just a mirage."] Now from Master Schopenhauer... A string of questioning every single page Master Scho: Life is tragedy and happiness is an illusion Me: Wait so am I a tragedy from the beginning ㅡㅡㅡBasically next pageㅡㅡㅡ Master Scho: However one cannot simply live in tragedy...... Me: OK so then what do I do? The grandpa of mysterious charms that has me reading endlessly like this Lots of affection from me lately I also make sure to buy fashion magazines when I go to a bookstore They're so fun to read and... I like to make mood boards? When I lose track of time collecting the things I like Guess how unfamiliar and fun it feels ["...After lying to my family that the traffic was bad so I would be late to come home. I told her that she was doing well. Enjoying life begins with reducing the words "I must~" and increasing "I want to~". A genius cannot overcome someone who puts in effort, and the one who puts in effort cannot overcome someone who enjoys. And isn't life too precious to live only out of duty and responsibility. If I could go back to those days, rather than giving all my life to the assignments in front of my eyes, I would look farther, cherish myself more, play enjoyable music for myself from time to time, and allow myself sweet rest."] This is a book called . Grateful to this book for giving me so much comfort.ᐟ . . . Let me recommend you some music I listen to when I read and I will go to bed. Happy reading 🪷 https://youtu.be/derxIrFHdz0?si=CThxsFO8M7ESSI9N https://youtu.be/tCG0OKy7BSM?si=-OSr82qyfHNLxQSK

[Link to original post] I figured you might be like "Whoa" and click if I wrote a title like that, so that's why I wrote it Welcome Princess These past few days have been very busy with moving preparations (lies) But even right now, I'm not even cleaning but really holding a flea market on my own at home I've put things on display. It's bad. When is this going to get cleaned up!!!!! ["Thank you to everyone who participated"] Welcome everyone to the mover's flea market I definitely started with a general-purpose trash bag next to me to throw things out But why is it so hard for me to throw things away ["Yes, I am HAPPY" H: Haven't got will to act A: Actively brainwash myself into thinking blessing will come P: Psychologically rationalize every day P: Dead on the inside Y: Can't even do a proper acrostic"] Yes, I am happy. I can't even do a proper acrostic but Brainwashing myself into believing that blessings will come That's not a bad thing, amirite? I prepared this so that I don't get called out for false advertising To be honest I don't take many selfies alone You probably can't believe it but.... I need to put on makeup to take a selfie But it's such a chore to put on makeup Wrapping up with me wearing glasses even though I got lasik The reason I am opening my laptop to write in this disaster of a room in the middle of packing Is that moving for me, as it is for anyone, represents a new beginning Seems like just yesterday that I packed and left the practice room that I'd been so used to And now I am moving again~ I really am brainwashing myself that blessings will come, and I'm going to make that happen The words that you keep leaving on my blog, where news is sparse I am reading all of them, whenever I stop by I will work hard to repay this undeserved love, one by one, little by little After receiving strength from you again I will go pack again I love you, and be careful on the snowy roads!

"A Mother who felt betrayed after reading her daughter's fanletter to Chuu."

[Link to original post] The frigid chill making my hands feel like they'll split after just a few seconds Has me shoving my hands back into my pockets. At times I felt it clumsy and arrogant This act of putting hands in pockets But by now, it has become a routine of winter Just like drinking the night-side water in the morning Something so natural. The weather, once so warm unlike winter Reminded of its presence yesterday with temperatures below freezing And after looking up the weather the night before I put on five layers of clothes, and still shivered, and looking at me My friends asked if I was trying for the clothes-layering Guinness record And giggled, puffing out smoky breaths like dragons. A mundane yesterday passed by, as if it's a given And facing today, very much not a given Vowing to not repeat yesterday's mistake I picked out the thick long padded jacked shoved in a corner. I haven't been working out, but should a jacket be so heavy Shuffling around the jacket's quite deep pockets I sense various textures at my fingertips. Hot packs, so cool as to be hardened Vitamins, two pills of Tylenol, cafe receipt, two 1000-won bills One piece of Puccho left and the leftover wrappers After removing the objects of days gone by, like sandbags, the jacket is light. I went to toss them, but it was no easy thing to throw them out. Okay, so let's first toss this rock-like hot pack. I'll take the vitamins tomorrow, and the Tylenol goes on the kitchen shelf. What's all this I ate at the cafe, who did I eat with. They say it's good to carry around cash, guess I'll buy bungeoppang With such thoughts running through my mind I popped the last remaining Puccho into my mouth and chewed gamely. Ever since little, I was pretty good at collecting But I still find discarding difficult. When I try to discard, to filter out As if a fragment of some memory is holding me back My present-day self stands still, with my back against the future. When I see my black sprawling shadow with the whites of my eyes, I put in effort to pretend not to notice And wish for rain to fall from the placid skies Plasma. . . . When they collide as to explode, and all things soar And shatter into pieces Then peace will seep in again Taking the plastic garbage of the takeout iced Americano Crumpling and unfolding it, I recite plasma to myself. This too is Earth's rubbish And yet I would still like to be someone useful Passing by, I saw a florist by coincidence. Truly by coincidence. It said that the meaning of the blue rose is "miracle". What is a miracle? It is Monday once again! I am always checking all the comments and attendance markers I am always feeling grateful and guilty! Wishing you a happy week 💚 Comments section: Yves: Don't worry, for I am quite the charismatic person

LOONA Chuu’s mother countersued by former agency for false allegations [Original article] By Lee Seon-myeong, Sports kyunghyang It was belatedly found that the legal dispute between LOONA member Chuu and her previous agency Blockberry Creative had also extended to a legal battle with her mother. According to Sports Kyunghyang’s reporting, Chuu’s mother “A” sued company executive “B” this past January, claiming that Blockberry Creative, which was in an exclusive contract dispute at the time, had spread false information. In the complaint, Mrs. A alleged that Blockberry Creative, through a Youtube channel last May, spread false information stating that Chuu hurt the other members by leaving a music video filming set on her own before filming was completed, and that Chuu’s family directly sent text messages to other LOONA members to take issue with their attitudes during activities. The police decided in October to not move forward with the case. In response, Blockberry Creative countersued Mrs. A for false allegations earlier this month. According to the filed complaint, Blockberry Creative stated that Chuu’s mother Mrs. A’s complaint was clearly false in claiming that the described events never happened, claiming to have the Kakaotalk content in which Chuu’s mother took issue with the members’ attitudes and the Kakaotalk content regarding what happened on the music video filming set, and asserted that her suing for false allegations was clear grounds for a lawsuit. Chuu debuted as a member of LOONA in December 2017. Since then, due to payment distribution disputes, she filed a lawsuit against Blockberry Creative, her agency at the time, for an injunction to cease the validity of her exclusive contract in December 2021. With the two sides firmly holding their respective positions, the case regarding Chuu’s contract was sent to mediation in March, but due to the two sides being unable to reach an agreement, it was determined that the case could not be settled through mediation. Since then, Chuu won her lawsuit confirming the non-existence of her exclusive contract. Blockberry Creative has since filed an appeal regarding this decision, the hearing for which will be held on the 8th of the coming month.

[INTERVIEW] HeeJin (ARTMS) talks about living in Brazil and inspiration from Korean culture for her solo debut by Giovanna Pego For HeeJin, her new mini album is both a beginning and a continuation: K is her first solo release since 2016, when she started promoting as a member of the K-pop group LOONA. In addition, this year, the idol began a new phase of her career by joining the ARTMS project, which also includes her LOONA members Haseul, Jinsoul, Kim Lip and Choerry. It may be a time of change for HeeJin, but it's also one of strength and confidence. She led the production process, which gave her the title of co-producer of the album, and decided to show the world the best that a Korean artist can do. After all, she chose the "K" in the title to symbolise Korea's beauty and cultural potential. In an exclusive interview with KoreaIN, HeeJin spoke more about the launch and her strong connection with Brazil, having lived in São Paulo for a while as a child. Check it out! KoreaIN: You were directly involved in the production of K: you chose songs, wrote lyrics and defined a concept for the album. How was the experience of leading everything this time? If you could describe this process in one word or expression, what would it be and why? HeeJin: I'd like to compare it to a hike. Although the hike can be tiring, the feeling of accomplishment when you reach the top is akin to the process of producing the album. KoreaIN: You were the first LOONA member to be introduced to the public in 2016. What's it like releasing a solo album after promoting as part of a group? How do you feel you've evolved as an artist since then? HeeJin: First of all, I think I've become stronger in order to be more independent. I also shared my honest opinions with my boss throughout the album production process! KoreaIN: The MV for the title track "Algorithm" and your album contain many references to Korean culture, which is becoming increasingly popular in Brazil and around the world. What kind of message would you like to convey with K? What do you want to show the world this time? HeeJin: I hope foreign fans can feel the beauty and charm of Korea when they listen to my album. I hope that if they have the chance to come to Korea, they can experience them in person! KoreaIN: You lived in São Paulo when you were younger and even mentioned that you loved açaí ice cream! What was it like living in Brazil? Can you share a memorable memory from that time? HeeJin: Yes! I remember being very surprised when I tried açaí ice cream for the first time, because it wasn't so famous in Korea at that time. I also remember eating chicken hearts and cheese bread. It rains a lot in Korea, but I remember being surprised by the heavy rains in Brazil. KoreaIN: Finally, could you leave a message for your Brazilian fans? We hope to see you here soon! HeeJin: Thank you for supporting and loving me from so far away! I hope to come back to Brazil one day and meet you in person to have a great time together! Love you, Brazil~ (Source)

INTERVIEW: ODD EYE CIRCLE presents their new mini-album! By Tiphaine After many years, and a change of agency, ODD EYE CIRCLE is finally back with a new album! K! World was able to chat with the 3 members of the group who shared details about the creation of Version Up. Hello! Our readers know you as members of LOONA, but could you introduce ODD EYE CIRCLE? JinSoul: “ODD EYE” means that we’re unique, so “ODD EYE CIRCLE” means “a group of girls with unique talents”. We express our individuality through different musical genres. It’s now been seven years since you debuted as ODD EYE CIRCLE. What can we expect from this comeback? Kim Lip: You’ll find that we’ve evolved a lot. For example, we have a more mature vibe physically! (Laughs.) How was it to work with the members of ODD EYE CIRCLE again after so long? Choerry: At the time, we were simultaneously uncertain and excited. Now, I’m just happy to work with ODD EYE CIRCLE. I’ve always loved being with the girls. You recently signed with Modhaus. What does this change mean for you? JinSoul: We’ve had the chance to try different musical genres, more diverse ones, all whilst maintaining the originality of ODD EYE CIRCLE. This is largely thanks to us having refound [the group’s] creator, Jaden Jeong. Signing with Modhaus is a big opportunity for us. What was your process for writing and recording for this new mini-album, Version Up? Kim Lip: ODD EYE CIRCLE hadn’t been in the studio for a long time. We’ve truly given everything that we can to this work, above all to not disappoint the fans. As well as that, I helped with the lyrics for the title track. Right, what is the story of Air Force One? Choerry: As you know, Converse® was the symbol of ODD EYE CIRCLE. So we wanted to represent our recent evolution with a new symbol. You’re happy when you buy a new pair of shoes, right? Our intention is to express that sentiment through the song! Other than Air Force One, which song from Version Up are you looking forward to the fans listening to? JinSoul: We’re really excited for them to listen to Lucid. It’s a piece dedicated to them, since they’ve been waiting for us for a while. You’ll be having a concert in Paris soon, during your European Tour. Do you have any stories to tell us about your last trip to France? Kim Lip: We’re really looking forward to meeting our French fans again! Let’s enjoy the concert! I seem to remember JinSoul tried snails when we were last here. She said she’d eat them again. Let’s do it again this time! What can we look forward to with the ARTMS project? Choerry: You’ll be able to learn more about us and discover our charms with this project. We’ll be very active in different ways, individually and as a group. How is ODD EYE CIRCLE connected to ARTMS, and ARTMS to LOONA? Kim Lip: LOONA hasn’t disbanded. We’re always LOONA. But as you know, we can’t use that name because we left our former agency. We needed a name for ourselves, and “ex-LOONA” didn’t sound right, you know? So, we opened a new chapter with ARTMS. Hoping that you will believe in us, and that you will always support us! A final message for your French fans? JinSoul: Friends, it’s been a long time! We know you’re going to love this show as much as the last, right? We’re really looking forward to it. We’re looking forward to meeting again in France! (Source)

INTERVIEW: HeeJin talks about her new album! By K! World This year is synonymous with renewal for Heejin. After debuting in the group ARTMS, the former LOONA member has released a new mini-album, which she co-produced. She tells us more in this exclusive interview! Hello! Could you introduce yourself to our readers? Hello K! World readers, I’m Heejin from ARTMS! Just so you know, I’m answering these questions while having my makeup done! (Laughs) How are you approaching this new step in your career? I drew on all the strength that’s in me! It was time for me to try new things, and to learn to produce my own album. It’s a challenge that allows me to develop my independence. I’m more excited than nervous! How would you describe your music as a solo artist, and what are your inspirations? I’m inspired by all the things around me! From the anime that I watch, to late-night snacks. My inspiration, put simply, is my daily life. What does “K” represent, which is the title of your mini-album? I chose “K” because K-Pop is now known all around the world. This mini-album reflects my desire to show the genre in its best way/light! You co-produced this mini-album. Could you talk to us about the creation process? It was very tiring, but the feeling of accomplishment once the work was done was incredible and doubly satisfying. Now I understand why some people dedicate their lives to producing their albums. A final message for your French and European fans? France is one of my favourite countries, and for so many reasons! I’m impatiently waiting for the day when ARTMS can return to Europe. I love you!

Blog-ssi Well, I don't drink lattes Or rather, I can't A little while ago, I got bold and drank a milk tea And I almost died.,,, Cause: stomachache) Anyway I cannot start the day without coffee so 'Ah-ah' [iced Americano] Ahh... [Can I... Cry while I speak?] Ah-ah... That name, somehow so nostalgic I drink ah-ah often (to survive) But there are certain ^conditions^ here too.. Must have no acidity..? One commonality I discovered while trying many ah-ahs is That oddly sour and bitter taste. I hate that taste The characteristic of this blog's owner is that she makes everything sound fancier, sorry) This is a little uncouth, but anyway there needs to be low acidity Must be nutty..? The way this word sounds kind of hurts my heart [T/N: "nutty" and "sue" are the same word] But I like nutty things If it has the nutty profile from nuts and the sweetness of chocolate It can pass perfectly as a coffee I like Must have no side effects after drinking..? Honestly this is my fault because caffeine doesn't suit me, But I will brazenly assign blame to the coffee Things with strong acidity and lots of caffeine Somehow give me a headache and make me dizzy and nauseous But if I drink nutty and light coffee like a barley tea I can have a more vibrant, symptom-less day. But I might have developed a tolerance for this too because two cups No longer wake me up. What should I do. As I'm writing, I'm realizing why I drink ah-ah Because I never sleep on time and go to bed late Like always, tomorrow, I mean today I shall begin the day with ah-ah It won't be the easiest day but Ah-ah...

Original article links: https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&aid=0001657743 https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&aid=0001657744 https://entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&aid=0001657745 Among countless idols, there exist artists who create art or express themselves. Moreover, artists who succeed in their solo careers expand on their own art. Xsportsnews focuses on highlighting a member as an “individual” artist with the “Idoltist'' interview series. The fourteenth guest on Idoltist is Heejin who is back with her first solo album. Heejin, who released a single as the first member of the LOONA debut project in 2016 at the age of 16, has made a “comeback” with her first mini album. It has been seven years since the release of her single “ViViD”. In the middle of last month, we met Heejin who was having a “hectic day” preparing for the release of her first mini-album “K”, and between a solo “debut” and “comeback”, she decided that it would be called a “comeback”. Even while the recording had to be wrapped up, Heejin said she was headed to the “end of the end”, revealing that she was “making revisions to improve the quality of the album”, indicating that she was making every effort she could until the very end. She said, “I didn’t like how I recorded the title song, so I made the request first, and I was even recording revisions until two days ago.” She added that after this, she “felt much more calm about it”. She is filled with experience, given how long she has been active. When debuting, if you could call what she had the “determination of a newcomer” - doing whatever she was asked, now she records until she herself is content. Heejin said that “I put forth many of my own opinions and participated a lot in the album creation too”. She took part in writing the lyrics for four of the six songs in the album as well. Then in the recording, unlike before, she revealed that she had a good time experiencing new things: “I directed as well, changing lyrics on the spot.” A comeback after seven years, one could feel as much, if not more, pressure than debuting. In addition, going from doing activities as a twelve-member group, to standing solo. To this, Heejin said “You can’t ignore the synergy among the members. Being used to the stage being packed even with us just gathered up, my biggest feeling was that I had to fill up the stage even by myself,” revealing how she had no choice but to be even more strict with herself. With the revealing of members with solo and unit activities, it took two whole years for LOONA to gather as a whole. For Heejin, the starter of this, she may be a member whose identity is that of LOONA’s. Despite it being a first step while still being deeply covered by the group’s colors, she did not feel “worried”. She said that “many people remember me more as LOONA’s Heejin than just Heejin”, saying, “Ultimately I’m LOONA too”. To that, she added, “I think of it as part of a whole, so rather than thinking ‘I better start anew’, I think it would be great if you remembered me as LOONA’s Heejin too.” Along with the release of her debut song "ViViD," which was also the start for the group's first revealed member, the singer Heejin, the start of her new solo also took place in October. Heejin's birthday is also in October. This October was also a very eventful month for Heejin, with 2023 marking the 7th anniversary of her debut. For idols, the “7th anniversary” is usually when contracts end, and a time of many concerns. Heejin also mentioned this, arriving at a clear conclusion. "As my 7th anniversary came, what I thought was that I was still too sprightly." “I still have a lot to show, and there are many things I want to do, so I gained confidence”, said Heejin. “I want to show the spry mindset of starting new, that I’m inexhaustible.” She hoped that October this year would be a month in which Heejin would be shown. Regarding October: “I hope it ends up being the most rewarding month this year. It’s busy but I think it’ll be a month that I was happy. I hope it ends up being like that.” She then became sure: “and it will”. Heejin, still displaying confidence and energy, celebrating her 7th anniversary despite being 23 years old, as she put it, is still in her sprightly years. She has started life in this scene early, she said that, regardless, “I think there are great advantages”. "People around me ask, ‘How do you handle not even having friends from high school?’ Or 'You never even got to go on a school trip, right?' But I don't think these are things that you have to experience. Many people have lived like that, so that’s natural, and so many people find it unfortunate (for others who don’t have those experiences), but I’ve done what I wanted to do, and in fact, I was happy doing that”, giving a glimpse into her passion that has not been extinguished after all this time. Heejin who has thought "I'm glad I became an idol” while looking back on her past as time passes, has released her first mini-album "K" on the 31st of last month, continuing her career as an "idol”. She has officially started her solo career about seven years after debuting as LOONA in 2016. As such, with great affection, Heejin deeply got involved while working on this album. Jaden Jeong, CEO of her current agency Modhaus who was involved since the early planning stages of LOONA, told Heejin, "when the time for her solo comes, I want to have her do this concept no matter what," and ‘K’ is the result. The album title means "Korea". As the Kpop market has widened, Korean elements have been incorporated into the contents of the album, and one can meet a Heejin exhibiting Korean beauty wearing a hanbok in the teaser and MV. The album was also noted to be an extension of “ViViD”, her debut solo single. Heejin said, “I’ve likely developed a lot”, adding, “because I know what I was lacking then, I am confident. Compared to back then, I’m less worried. If I felt difficulties from 1~10 back then, this time I think I’ll be able to go through things in a relaxed state,” certain in having made up for her past shortcomings. She has grown enough to now proactively give her opinions. "I think I tried to show you ‘Heejin’" she said, wanting to show her “bright image”. So, she left some traces throughout the album. She participated in the album design, wrote the text for the album’s content, and picked out images herself. She took part in outfit selection too, but contrary to wearing trendy cropped tees and jogger pants per the CEO’s opinion, she offered photos of styles with oversized tops. Explaining all of this, Heejin expressed that “the album itself is Heejin herself”. Heejin’s thoughts were incorporated from recording to performance, even song creation. According to her, “(the title track is) an easy-listening song, so I focused on the idea that it ‘couldn’t feel boring’, and made sure the rhythmical parts stood out”, revealing her focus during recording. For the performance to go with the song, she said, “taking care of the performance too, I focused on parts where I could show visuals,” showing her confidence saying “I’ll take both parts”. Excluding the intro she participated in four songs as lyric writer. For the song she did not participate in she said that “the lyrics came out too fast”. As lyric writer, she revealed behind-the-scenes stories for each song. The title of “Algorithm” was decided before lyric-writing began. Heejin described the theme of the song, “with the developed Internet and everything being connected via algorithms, content about you that appears even when I want to forget you”, saying that “the CEO wanted me to write about ‘algorithm’. It was such a modern term so I concerned myself over how I would write that out, so I think it took a long time (to write).” “When I first got the song ‘Video Game’, the animation ‘Wreck It Ralph’ came to mind”. So Heejin, who said “I worked quickly”, said “I got this song sometime in July. This thought came late at dawn one night so I wrote it quickly in just one day. I think if you read the lyrics you’ll see why ‘Wreck It Ralph’ came to mind”. For “Addiction”, which was almost a title track for a younger group in the agency, Heejin revealed “I apologize (to TripleS) as I received this song after asking to hear it”. The lyrics came to mind as unexpectedly as she was eating late-night food. Heejin said, “I think I’ve developed a habit of eating late-night food at 3AM or so. I wrote the lyrics while thinking “am I addicted to late-night food?” (At the time) I was drinking zero-calorie cola, and I connected that to love writing the lyrics to the song”, raising interest in the song. She worked on “Nokia” with TripleS Park Sohyun and CEO Jeong. Thanks to this, she learned that “Nokia” was “a widely used phone all around the world”, and the lyrics, “like a phone that’s discontinued and is no longer around, you’re not by my side” hold the meaning behind the breakup song. She is highly satisfied that she directly worked on the album. Last year, in the introduction to her solo song “Honestly”, there was an honest line about “while doing group activities, there were lots of times where my voice had to fit the song’s direction”. This time the song was matched to Heejin’s voice. Another reason for her great satisfaction was that “it’s three minutes with just my voice”. For the same reason, it was more difficult. Heejin said, “Before, I would only focus on my part, but now I need to focus on everything over three minutes while recording. This was also part of why working on this took longer”, noting that she recorded revisions for the title track six times. Over many interviews, she has mentioned her low-pitched voice as one of her charms. Regarding this, she said “When I was young, I used to have a complex about it, but after time, it seemed more like an attractive feature. It isn’t common, so there is a part of that which is a bigger plus for me”, adding, “I’m not low-pitched when I sing, but in lower-register songs, I can comfortably handle the lower notes”. Other than her low-pitched voice, a charm of “solo Heejin” that she confidently stated was “a face you won’t forget after seeing once”. She added that it’s “an image that leaves an impression at once”. Even after debuting as LOONA, Heejin was thrown into survival shows where she continued to prove her skills such as Mixnine or Queendom 2. Thinking about her time at Mixnine, she said “back then (even looking at myself), I thought, ‘did not seem to have any thoughts about enjoying the stage.’ I only thought that I had to win.” Despite pushing herself, the driving force that protected her was the “stage”. While saying that “it’s always the case that the preparation process is too complicated and tiring”, she added “after the performance, that becomes lots of energy. Even in tight schedules, when standing onstage, even if it is draining, things become clear mentally”. Heejin, who says that in that moment, she reaches ‘peak’ condition, saying “activities play a role similar to oil. It feels like relieving stress from work by working.” Maybe because she’s so serious about work, Heejin earned the descriptive “hexagonal idol” through her well-rounded skillfulness. That’s how committed Heejin was in places unseen. She reminisced about the past, saying “I don’t know why I used to go that far, but I spent every day at the company office or at the dorm. Never went anywhere on the weekends, and always stayed in the practice room until 3 AM. The dorm and practice room were close by, so I remember going in to practice whenever I couldn’t sleep.” Continuing, she said “During album preparations, too, it was just so natural for all the members to stay until sunrise. I think that’s how we lived. No one made me do that, but I just lived like that on my own. At the time, I did feel some doubt like, what’s going to change when I practice?” There may not have been immediately visible change, but those times accumulated to craft Heejin’s hexagon. Looking back upon such hard-fought times, the first thought that grazes Heejin is pride. “The albums accumulated one by one, and I definitely feel the gradual improvement. Those were such precious times for me. With each passing day, I’m glad I chose to be an idol.” “(Being an idol) was a big dream of mine, and I think the job satisfaction is high in every way. Because it keeps me joyful mentally. If you don’t want to do something and someone makes you, you really don’t want to do it. But this is what I want to do, so I endure even when it’s difficult, and I feel that it comes back with big rewards, so it’s satisfying. I hope the fans would know this too. That I’m not just making this up.” Recently, idols have grown deeper in their fan interactions through various content and messenger apps, and they are exposed to the public for longer. It would be important to separate work from the self. Indeed, Heejin said “I always do think that Heejin at work and Jeon Heejin in everyday life need to be different. I think I’m really positive when I’m working. That’s not to say my everyday life is negative, but it’s simpler. I think what’s important is to not show too much of myself normally. Office workers look different when they’re in the office (compared to other times), right. I think I try to show better things about myself (when I work).” Though she’s at her seventh anniversary, the path ahead is longer than what’s in the past. Asked how she would like to polish that path, Heejin said “I think this solo album is going to help set (the direction)”, but added, “I filmed a Shorts drama recently. I’m still lacking, but I want to show lots of different things as an idol, while also taking on the challenge of acting.” As solo singer Heejin, the goal is a music show win. She said, “Even as LOONA, we’ve won M! Countdown, but never won on a a non-cable station. I think the fans would be really happy too if I were to win on a non-cable show with the solo album. I’d also love for (my song) to be background music on trendy Shorts or Reels. I’d like to hear it often on those.” Then she emphasized, “It would be great if I also won the music show at the same time,” drawing laughter. As Jeon Heejin the person, she would “like to remain this way, as an entertainer”. Saying “I may resist many things and shed many things, but even decades down the road, I would like to be a Heejin who remains in the entertainment industry,” she expressed a wish to continue working in many areas. “I really really really put a lot of work into preparing this album, so I’d love it if you enjoyed it too. Please promote it too, and I hope you’ll love it. And with this album as the beginning, I’d like to meet you in many places going forward.” When you think of Heejin, you can’t leave out the LOONA promotions which were her beginning. After experiencing the dispute over their exclusive contracts, the members had to scatter to their respective places. Among them, starting with Odd Eye Circle (Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry) who are in Modhaus like Heejin, Loossemble (Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Go Won, Hyeju) and soloist Chuu all debuted. Looking at the members who debuted earlier, Heejin said she felt “half-nervous, half-excited”. When she went to the Loossemble showcase to cheer them on, she got to watch the members she once worked together with from somewhere other than the stage. Odd Eye Circle had done unit activities before, but because Loossemble was a new combination, Heejin confessed that “I felt complicated and strange. I felt sad but also wanted to cheer them on.” As she’s embarking on solo activities apart from the members, she says she feels the biggest difference in practice. She said, “We were a big group of 12 people, and we were so close with each other, too. We’d all order a huge amount of food and take breaks to eat, and during break times, we’d chat away loudly. (This time) it’s just me and the dancers. By now, I’m relaxed (around the dancers), but at first, the awkward air made me realize the mood was very different.” She also said that LOONA felt less anxiety about the future after they won second place on Queendom 2, the survival program. But anxiety found them again through the dispute. Heejin was frank about how she felt then: “Even in those unstable circumstances, we talked a lot with each other. That we wanted to keep our team together. It’s really regrettable, isn’t it. It’s not the members’ fault, and there was no animosity, either. There were just things that we could not control, and that made us all feel disappointed, that we couldn’t let it end like that.” Modhaus, which she selected after long deliberation, is led by CEO Jeong Byeong-gi, who was in charge of producing the LOONA project. Heejin fielded contact from many companies, and she expressed that she “wanted to keep the team together” in meetings. Heejin, who calmly confesses that “Other members would have received lots of contact like this too,” was able to muster up courage and prepare for her new beginning thanks to this current agency where she got to stay with the members. At Modhaus, Heejin is joined by Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Choerry, and Haseul as ARTMS. She’s releasing a solo album, but the members dependably have her back in various content. Because of that, she shared much conversation with ARTMS and the LOONA members during her solo preparations. She said, “So many members reached out to me. It was too frantic on my own, so I wasn’t really good about sharing the things that I could have shared beforehand with the members. While preparing frantically, (Kim) Lip unnie sent me a long message that ‘It was busy and frantic and hard even preparing as a group, so it must be really hard on your own’. I cried the moment I read the first line. I guess I must have been really exhausted then,” smiling. After reading another interview which mentioned this, Hyunjin reached out to her next. Heejin said, “(Hyunjin) reached out with a long text saying, ‘No matter what, you can do this well even by yourself.’ She’s a same-aged friend, and we’re really close with each other, so both of us find that kind of thing to be cringe, but I was grateful she still reached out first.” However, Heejin drew laughs when she said she didn’t reply to Hyunjin in kind with a long text, saying “I do remember texting things like, Isn’t the tour tiring. I’ve been watching. Thanks.” Revealing that her MBTI is a T-type, she added, “I wasn’t so detail-oriented as to do that (reply with a long text), but I should reach out one more time.” Along with the members and their tight-knit friendship, she won second place on Queendom 2 and went on a world tour, but environments and circumstances changed greatly in a short time. Heejin spent the time of change “frantically”. She told us frankly: “I needed to figure some things out myself, and basically had no rest. Back then I felt no stability. As an idol, the fact that I wasn’t part of any place took a big toll on my sense of stability. To be honest, I remember it was difficult. So I think that’s why I’m even happier and feeling more stable now.” It didn’t happen from her own will, and she never got to tie it off. From being revealed as the first member to the turbulent days, the time spent as LOONA left “an immense sense of belonging” on Heejin. She said, “When I debuted as the first batter, everything was scary. I joined expecting a group, and then they told me to debut by myself, and as I gained members one by one, I felt a great deal of belonging.” “I feel like I’ve made forever friends. I know this is cliche, but I can’t compare them to anyone else, even closer than family. I can call them up whenever to meet up if the times align, I can confess how I’m feeling inside, and we can relate and comfort each other. It was not wasted time, not at all. Even back then I was always so happy, and every moment on stage was precious. I am the way I am right now only because I went through that time as LOONA. I don’t think this thing is over yet. Whenever it may be, if there is something that we can do, we’re gonna do it.” When asked what LOONA means to her, Heejin thought for a very long time before replying, “My everything.” Heejin chose her words carefully, lest fans become sad if she used past tense in her response; she showed her affection, saying, “That’s what I keep thinking about. Everything. My everything. And when I think about it, I get really sad. And happy at the same time. I hope people will remember. It’s the thing that I want them to continue remembering.” As much as Heejin showed her depth of feeling for the team, the ARTMS members by her side frequently cheered on Heejin during her solo preparations. Adding on, the members also expressed these words of affectionate encouragement to Heejin, setting out solo again. “I think Heejin really has a diversity of charms. I hope many people will learn about Heejin’s charms and come to love her through this album!” (Haseul) “This is Heejin’s first solo song in a really long time, and I think her maturity compared to her debut is what stands out. I’m looking forward to Heejin’s relaxed and energetic performances, and this is her first solo promotion, but I will always be cheering her on from behind! So I’m hoping for a great promotion!” (Jinsoul) “This album’s coming out after a really long time, so Heejin took a lot of care and put in lots of hard work. I hope lots of people will pay attention to the grown-up Heejin’s pretty showings, and I hope that Heejin and the fans will get to laugh a lot and have happy moments through this album.” (Kim Lip) “Our first LOONA member and multi-talented Heejin unnie. Thanks so much for always showing off awesome and pretty sides of yourself, and you’ve been so cool all this time, and I hope whether it’s the stage or wherever, you’ll keep flying around even more than before. As a fellow member, I’m going to cheer for this promotion more than anyone else, so fighting for the solo promos! Thanks and I love you so much. Everyone, our Heejin unnie’s music is really good so I hope you’ll listen to it lots and adore her!” (Choerry)

Hyunjin (real name Kim Hyunjin) has reawakened her dulled senses and taken flight. She has released the first album under Loossemble, the group formed together with LOONA peers Yeojin, Vivi, Go Won, and Hyeju, and taken powerful strokes for a new beginning. Hyunjin entered the K-pop industry in earnest in November 2016, when she was revealed as the second member of LOONA. After the subunit LOONA ⅓, she began full group activities as LOONA in 2018, spanning stages domestic and international. This year, she was forced to take an unwanted hiatus while undergoing an exclusive contract dispute with her old agency. Finally, after committing to legal conflict instead of activities for about half a year, Hyunjin made a new home at CTD E&M in June. The first album as a Loossemble member was released in September. Immediately after release, she announced re-debut with grandeur while touring 10 cities in the United States, and also successfully completed domestic promotions after the tour. Meeting with EDaily for a Doldam interview at the KG Tower in Jung-gu in Seoul, Hyunjin said “I feel satisfied that I think we made a good impression of Loossemble’s image, completing the U.S. tour with our very first promotion.” She continued, “We also expected around 40,000 copies for the first week sales and were surprised to see over 70,000. It made me realize a lot of people waited for us to restart activities and it felt encouraging.” Many members are said to have cried emotional tears during the U.S. tour. Hyunjin said, “I can still hear the fans’ cheers over the IEMs. While going through the tour, I thought it was such a good decision to not give up and return to the stage.” Looking back, she said: “Whenever I went on morning walks during the tour, people recognized me, and that made the international popularity feel more real. When someone said ‘Thanks for reconsidering’, it made me really emotional, too.” As these results were obtained through hardship, the sense of achievement was even greater. Hyunjin said, “We only had about a month and a half for album preparations. There was a lot to prepare in a short period. We were keen to increase the quality since this was our first album, so we worked on preparation and practice while sleeping only 2~3 hours per day.” Hyunjin is also carrying out Loossemble’s leader role. On this, she smiled, saying “It’s an unfamiliar job, but I’m pretty involved to begin with, and I’ve been good about finding compromise between the company and the members’ opinions, so fortunately I think it suits me well.” In the first album, Loossemble included the Korean and English versions of title track “Sensitive”, as well as “Real World”, “Colouring”, “Newtopia”, “Strawberry Soda”, and “Day by Day”. Hyunjin said, “To show more growth compared to before, every member including me participated in lyric-writing, and we selected the choreography demos ourselves, too.” In the album, they also incorporated a story of the members becoming crewmembers on a spaceship and setting out on a journey to find their friends. Saying “While preparing the album, we thought about the reasons why LOONA was beloved by fans,” Hyunjin explained that “Our conclusion was that a lot of people liked the team’s story of growth and the lore which had people curious about the future.” She added that “We wanted to incorporate a story that carries some of LOONA’s colors but can focus more on each individual member than before.” Title track “Sensitive”, which stands out for a catchy and funky sound, is about the initiative-taking message of trusting in the senses that have brought you this far, and moving on even more boldly. It fits well with the Loossemble members, who are setting out on a new beginning. When told that the song is good, Hyunjin smiled and said “I picked it,” emphasizing that the members’ opinions were reflected in the song selection process as well. Meanwhile, at the domestic showcase for the album’s release, the other LOONA members now at other homes attended and filled the stands alongside fans. Hyunjin was grateful: “When we sang ‘Day by Day’, the song I wrote lyrics for, as the encore, the members cheered for us holding up placards with slogans on them.” As Hyunjin said “That looked funny, but on the other hand I also thought, ‘Why are the members who should be right next to me sitting over there,’ and that made me sad too,” her eyes welled up momentarily as if overcome. Hyunjin said of her hopes: “I think we are just on a temporary rest right now, and I don’t think LOONA activities are completely over. All the members have trust in each other, so I’m hoping that one day we will become one again.” After gathering herself, Hyunjin laughed and said “That story we incorporated into the first Loossemble album, where we become spaceship crew and set out for friends, you never know if that will lead into a big picture where we end up meeting the LOONA members.” She also made sure to remind readers about the upcoming Loossemble fan meeting on the 25th of this month. Source 1 – “Sometimes I’m tired and exhausted, but I still like this job,” said Hyunjin, adding that “I think the most important thing for an idol is a firm mindset and constant effort.” Hyunjin said, “I think the most important thing is how you approach your activities. I’ve been realizing that if you want more attention and love than others in the entertainment industry, you need to be working and thinking harder, and you need to have that desire.” Then, looking back on the LOONA activities, she said “With 12 members, each individual could only receive short lines. Sometimes I only had two seconds, and through those experiences, I came to understand that you need to have the initiative to do more when you have the chance.” Further, she emphasized that “Even when I’m on a break from activities, I’m continuing to practice even little by little so I won’t get complacent, working to fill out where I’m lacking.” She then smiled proudly, saying “Fortunately, I think I’ve been good about maintaining the mindset that I established when I was dreaming of becoming an idol. I never lost the beginner’s mindset.” Hyunjin first stepped foot into the industry in middle school, after appearing on the tvN variety show 3 Idiots’ “Beauty Since Birth Awards” special episode. Hyunjin said, “Before that, I’d never even attended an applied music academy. I appeared on the “Beauty Since Birth Awards” as the teenager representative and won fifth place, then I got cast by the agency, and started trainee life.” To achieve her idol dreams, Hyunjin left her family home in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, and lived with her oldest brother in Mok-dong, in the Yangcheon district of Seoul. Hyunjin reminisced: “I had a tough routine, taking the subway between the practice room in Apgujeong, Gangnam and my brother’s apartment. That’s the time when a fourteen-year-old girl became tougher and determined.” That oldest brother that she lived with was also a band member. Hyunjin said, “My oldest brother went to college for music, so that helped when I was auditioning. These days, my brother is unable to focus fully on music, and one of my wishes is to become more successful so I can help his music career too.” Hyunjin also spoke of a goal to become active as a solo singer and actress in the future. When asked about a direction of solo artistry she’s interested in, Hyunjin replied “I want to be a performance-type singer.” She then added, smiling, “I used to like dancing even as a kid, but I was bad at it. I’ve only gotten good at dancing through lots of practice, so I have to hold on to dance.” Hyunjin added, “Watching Chuu unnie’s performance, after her solo release recently, made me desire being a soloist even more. If I get the chance, I want to do solo promotions with a song that takes me a step closer to the public.” She’s also been getting acting lessons consistently, even before Loossemble’s first album and tour. “I’m adventurous and like to have different experiences, so I want to be aggressive about acting too.” She smiled, saying “I started acting lessons for the first time after joining this current agency, but I’ve always enjoyed copying scenes from movies and dramas.” She also mentioned characters she’d like to act. Hyunjin said, “I’m a cold-looking but innocent image, so I think Suzy sunbaenim’s role in the movie Architecture 101 might fit well. I’d like to act out a role like that and earn a title like ‘the nation’s first love’,” showing off an ambition. She picked honesty as her unique charm. Hyunjin emphasized: “I’m an idol who’s exactly the same on the outside and inside. I’m really honest and don’t embellish. My personality is also simple and frank.” She added, “I’m never afraid to show my face without makeup to the fans, either. When you like someone, you want to show everything, right. That’s how special the fans are to me.” While discussing her honest charms, Hyunjin once again showed pride about the fact that she was “born a beauty”. She said, “Sometimes I get DMs on social media like, ‘You’re so pretty the way you are, so please never get plastic surgery,’ and I feel good whenever I see something like that.” Vowing, she said “I’ll never touch up my face, and I’m going to show my natural side to the fans.” “I’m sure a lot of people don’t know me well yet. Since I’ve started out on a new beginning, I want to introduce myself to more people, and I want to become a better person befitting that. I’ll work hard to become a more influential idol who makes fans happy.” Source 2

[Original article] [En:terview] ‘Solo’ Heejin: “CEO Jeong Byeong-gi said I changed the most” Reporter Kim Su-jeong, CBS No Cut News Even prior to debut, the LOONA project became much-discussed in the industry with its immense scale. And Heejin was the very first member to be revealed from it. When she released the bouncy “ViViD”, Heejin was only sixteen years old. Heejin was beloved in a group, went through an unwanted contract dispute and found a new agency, and now has become a member of a group called ARTMS. Seven years after her debut, she’s embarked on perhaps her “biggest” challenge yet. Namely, a solo debut. Ever since her LOONA days, Heejin was called a “hexagonal idol” or “all-rounder”, meaning that she was highly skilled in all areas. But she confessed that the goal of a solo debut, which she had planned for a vague time of “someday”, had come sooner than expected. On the afternoon of October 20th, CBS NoCut News interviewed Heejin at the Modhaus offices in Gangnam district, Seoul, ahead of the release of her solo album K. Her first album after moving agencies to Modhaus as well as her first solo, K was released on the 30th of last month. She received the tracks in early July, and preparation began in earnest in August. Modhaus is helmed by Mr. Jeong Byeong-gi, who participated from the early planning stages of the LOONA project. It is said that ARTMS group activities and Heejin’s solo activities were planned from the moment she joined the company. While it was pre-planned, Heejin still felt that the opportunity had come sooner than expected. She said, “I always had thoughts regarding solo promotions. I’d wanted to try it at some point, but I didn’t know it’d happen this soon. I thought it would take a few years.” Continuing, she said “In some ways, I’ve always been part of a team, but coming out solo, it does feel burdensome and I’m very nervous. I think this has actually been a stepping stone to make me grow faster, these moments. I’m often tired and physically strained, but I’ve been very grateful. I’ve always liked it when I’m able to grow quickly in a short amount of time”, while smiling. The title track, which could be called the face of an album, was chosen later than other tracks. Heejin, saying “You have to record the title first for the overall direction of an album to be decided. That way the side tracks can be chosen to accompany it well,” noted that it took quite some time to select and record the title track. “Algorithm” is a song about a breakup that keeps coming to mind after love. It’s a result of reconstructing a sound that led Western pop in the 80s and drawing out the dynamic texture of K-pop style. Asked how it was chosen to be the title, Heejin laughed, saying “To be honest, this… May not seem so modest, but I thought this was a genre I could pull off really well.” The song also aligned well with the image of Heejin as envisioned by CEO Jeong Byeong-gi. While Heejin said “I felt like it could come across as an extension of (debut track) ‘ViViD’. It really went well with my identity and direction as CEO-nim views it,” she avoided firmly defining her colors. She added, “There are still many things I’d like to do, and an incredible number of things still left to do. From that perspective, I’m grateful to have debuted early. I think that’s going to be a real benefit for me.” Even after the title track was selected, edits came frequently. Lyrics were redone many times, and the song was re-recorded six times. Heejin added that she repeatedly thought, ‘Today’s the last time right?’ ‘Today must really be the last time.’ Simply put, “everyone put their best into it”. Among the side tracks, “Nokia” is the most cherished. “I really wanted to try a song with an acoustic vibe”, said Heejin. “I’ve liked the guitar from the beginning. It’s an extremely emotional song with a guitar riff. It’s a breakup song but weirdly I felt really attached to it, and with the lyrics and all, it was really easy to immerse myself while recording. CEO-nim had said, ‘I would like to hear this song in your voice’. I am very glad that it turned out well. I look forward to performing this song on stage someday”. The interview occurred before the album’s release, so we were curious whether the album’s side tracks were very different, or had a similar feel. Heejin then replied, “Generally, I think a lot of tracks are easy to listen to and smooth. Including the title track. Whether in the car, or at home, or on the move, you can listen to a lot of these tracks easily. I listened to this album a lot, too. I think these songs won’t get old.” From a member of a group, to now having to lead an album by herself. Working on an album solo was indeed not easy. Heejin confessed, “Having to record many songs was very difficult in some ways. Your voice needs to keep up, but I caught the flu while recording. At one point, I couldn’t shake off the flu for 2~3 weeks, so I recorded in that state and eventually we had to scrap that whole thing. I realized that I needed to maintain my condition well. Because there really is no one else to cover for me.” Performing a song around three minutes all by herself while also making its dynamics come alive: that was the task before Heejin. She reviewed: “In the group, I usually did verses and took care of hooks, but I’ve learned a lot from having to handle the whole buildup and climax all by myself, things like ‘I have this powerful of a voice in me’, ‘I can sing this tenderly too’.” Another challenge was lyric-writing. Heejin participated in the lyrics of title track “Algorithm” as well as side tracks “Video Game”, “Nokia”, and “Addiction”. “Algorithm”, in particular, took many edits. Heejin said “The general topic was set in advance, but the pronunciation of something might be too awkward, or if the lyric was too abstract or broad, it needed to become more direct yet also not childish, so that was what I paid attention to.” Saying “It wasn’t easy to create something from nothing. But some songs were easy. Sometimes the ideas would bubble up and I’d come up with something quickly,” Heejin previewed that she would likely continue writing lyrics for her own albums in the future. She added, “If it only contains other people’s work, I feel like I’d be unsatisfied and volunteer to work on it. And there's fun that is only found in that.” CEO Jeong Byeong-gi’s encouragement also gave her great strength. “When I was first getting my lyrics confirmed, I felt so embarrassed. Because this was my first time trying it. CEO-nim is very honest, so if something sucks, he will say it sucks. So I sent him my lyrics late because of the embarrassment. But he told me, ‘This is well-written though?’ and that calmed my heart. After that, I figured weird lyrics and well-done lyrics are up to the listener, so I’ve become bolder about challenging myself. CEO-nim fortunately liked it, so I was able to work with confidence.” Being credited as a lyricist on all of the album’s songs aside from the intro and “Sad Girls Club” is especially meaningful for Heejin. She said “Honestly, I also wanted to work on the other song (“Sad Girls Club”), but the lyrics were completed too soon. There is a credit for the overall production, and CEO-nim said he would include my name, Jeon Heejin, on that line too. So it’s even more meaningful for me.” The title of this album, containing intro “Kehwa” and title track “Algorithm” alongside “Sad Girls Club”, “Video Game”, “Nokia”, and “Addiction” for a total of six songs, is K. The same K as in K-pop and K-drama. Asking “Is it not the word representing Korea”, Heejin explained that “It means wanting to become the album that represents Korea. I think the beauty that symbolizes Korea is really well-reflected, too.” In the album teaser video, Heejin wore a hanbok. Korean elements permeate the album, too. Heejin said: “Since it’s an album that represents Korea, I wanted a lot of components of Korean elements to be included too, and they accepted those ideas, so you can see a lot of this in the album. There will be two versions, A and B; one is the hanbok-oriented version that you could say is totally K, and the other one is more of a street vibe.” As mentioned earlier, CEO Jeong Byeong-gi was there at the beginning of LOONA. It was only natural to come to the Jeong-led Modhaus after winning against her former agency in the legal battle over her contract. What Heejin liked was “That I didn’t have to start over from 1.” Calling Jeong “someone who understands us so well”, Heejin said “That’s why I was able to prepare for this album so comfortably and actively put out my ideas, and they accepted them to a great extent.” What kind of vision did CEO Jeong present for a “solo Heejin”. Heejin said, “He wanted to show the maximum abilities that I couldn’t draw out (in the past). When I saw CEO-nim for the first time in a long while, he told me, ‘You’ve changed the most.’ Not in a bad way - in the past, when someone told me to do something, I would say ‘Yes, understood’ and carry it out, and that’s the mindset of a rookie. Now, having been an idol for a while and having pride in my own album, I speak out actively and honestly. I speak up even about inconvenient things without beating around the bush, and he said he really loves how my personality has become so spirited.” “Back then there used to be set goals, and now I think it wouldn’t be bad to be more flexible, go with the flow. I think it’s important to become well-established in everything, so I can catch any opportunity that comes, whatever it is. Honestly (this line of work) often doesn’t go the way I plan, so… I am a planner type, but often that actually makes me miss out on something.” (Laughs) Heejin made a wish: “I want to show people that I can fill out the stage even when I’m alone. I’m someone who’s so happy to step onto the stage. As much energy as I expend, I hope all of that is delivered to you.” Then, “This time, I hope it’ll be an opportunity for people who didn’t know me well to find out once and for all,” she emphasized. “I’m only going to be giving you unforgettable performances, so please look forward to it.”

[T/N: This post combines two of Yves' posts from the same night: "Hello^^" and "The Blog You Ordered Is Here".] [Link to first post] [Link to second post] Post: Hello^^ ["Our restaurant is operating normally"] How many in your party?

I'm going to write a post today I am sorry to make you wait for so long I will return after midnight Wish you tasty dinners and warm evenings Bye~~~~~~ +Due to requests to attach face photos… Comments section: Young: SWF review gogo please Yves: Yas understood Mh: What are you having for dinner Yves: Jaecheop-guk Lee Chaewon: Can I get tonkatsu? Yves: Yes yas tonkatsu will take 50 minutes. Is that okay?.*^^ Post: The Blog You Ordered Is Here Hello Have you been well The days have suddenly grown cold As for me? Just like an annual, recurring regional festival I caught a cold as the seasons changed, and I ate well and got sick and On some days I skipped meals because I had no appetite And I've been hearing the feel-good nagging from you all, and just like that I've been spending my days +Scroll warning Tottenham The routines These are sticker photos I took today And I can apply filters, amazing. One day a fallen leaf grew out of my toe (actually it fell) Today I ate this lasagna and... risotto..?.. But the employee there recognized me somehow and gave me free dessert, thank you, how did you know.. So fascinating Went to the SWF audience yesterday And I've been lying down for hours due to nausea... I'm a country kid so I can't ride in cars for long Sob I can't even do swings or seesaws or amusement park ridesㅜ Standing at SWF was so tiring So I was crouching from time to time And I found this sparkly piece of paper This reminded me of Queendom and the concert too And thinking to myself, so our fans must have had it this tough to watch us They must have gone home to lie down like me It was like I spilled gukbap in my heart, and I became a twenty-something woman who Cried alone while crouching in general admission (I didn't cry ㅋ) Seriously this part was so awesome and I was just Punching my forehead Of course I wore a beanie so it didn't hurt Sigh Bada unnie why do you keep smiling for me Let go of me, that unnie smiled at me first; Pretty pose when stepping out of the shop Just took one for no reason ㅋ Celplay (celebrity play) Mom sent me banchan once again Back in the day, taking Grandma's banchan out of the fridge to eat Used to be so natural, but living on my own now, I receive banchan instead.. Every time I feel guilty and thankful and everything Grandma is now older, so Mom makes the banchan for me Still tastes just as good The cooking skill of the women in our family doesn't go anywhere. When I first came to Seoul and lived in the underground practice studio Grandma used to come to Seoul herself to give me banchan But now, my grandmother asks to go back home after just a little bit of walking I'm 27 years old now too And all I can see is my family getting older and older When I'm still just like a child The fact that I want to help them smile more And at the same time, want to help them age slowly and gradually Is that somehow selfish - while thinking about that I pottered and made rice balls for Dohyeon to eat when she goes to work Late-night meal from some night Sometimes I'm confused whether my mind feels empty Or my belly feels empty And we agreed to call that "gaining weight" The trees have dyed their hair Can I touch you A synesthetic photo where you can feel the warm breath just by looking Ogu slept soundly when I laid out the warm padded jacket Are you doing well I was heading home and this seemed like my blog so I filmed it My favorite thing is lying down... Even knowing that caffeine doesn't suit me I live with coffee on me Sometimes I work hard on my job Sometimes I get off work in the morning And on the weekends I take leisurely walks often too Apparently we can't use those paper cups anymore This is an old photo.ᐟ This is the day I caught a cold The photos are ordered all over the place So it must have been hard to read ㅎㅎ But please look upon them kindly... Like this, I'm so brazen and slow And I talk a big game because I can run my mouth Got too many thoughts and worries Get sick here and there and all I do is whine And yet you still look forward to me and cheer for me I still cannot dare to fathom that heart But I don't think that's because of anything that I have I'm always grateful for everything that allowed You all and I to meet and cheer for each other in this way And I am working hard to pay it back ["For cherishing and encouraging and supporting and cheering and adding and pushing and worrying and agonizing"] Here I am with just words again...

The acid jazz track mixes sensual vocal synths and Heejin's voice just right, and makes the listener replay it from the top soon enough."

In the empty drawer, left all by itself This old cell phone Asleep as if abandoned Just like me That ringtone you used to call just played And I’ve collapsed I think I’m falling down You & I We’re gone and no more Left alone in this room Your familiar scent Your words, forever no matter what I want to believe them Such sweet lies You can fool me one more time I know all the words, but wanna hear them one more time They’re all lies Words I want to believe My day is Full of your thoughts Try as I might to hide them My feelings only long for you Cold white snow is falling Just like the day we met You whispered, calling me pretty Wordlessly I fell into your arms Come to me, I can’t let go You & I We’re gone and no more Left alone in this room Your familiar scent Your words, forever no matter what I want to believe them Such sweet lies You can fool me one more time I know all the words, but wanna hear them one more time Like the phone abandoned in the drawer You’re not even interested anymore Can we try one more time So don’t ya say goodbye it’s over Baby can we try Baby it ain’t no more You & I We’re gone and no more At your touch I’ve been trained And I’m waiting for you I want to believe them Such sweet lies You can kill me one more time I know it all, but I want to beg They’re all lies Words I want to believe My day is Full of your thoughts Maybe it’s a vain dream But I feel like you might return Fool me please 텅 빈 서랍 덩그러니 홀로 오래된 핸드폰 버려진 듯 잠들었어 마치 나처럼 네가 걸어주던 그 전화벨 흘러나와서 무너졌어 I Think I'm Falling Down You & I 사라지고 없잖아 홀로 남겨진 이 방 익숙한 네 향 꼭 영원이란 네 말 믿고 싶은 말이야 달콤한 거짓말이야 한번 더 속여도 좋아 다 알지만 듣고 싶은 그 말 전부 거짓말 믿고 싶은 말 나의 하루는 온통 네 생각인데 애써 감추려 해도 너만 보고싶은 내 맘 차갑고 하얀 눈이 와 처음 만났던 날처럼 말야 예쁘다며 속삭여 주던 너 아무 말 없이 품에 안긴 나 Come To Me I Can't Let Go You & I 사라지고 없잖아 홀로 남겨진 이 방 익숙한 네 향 꼭 영원이란 네 말 믿고 싶은 말이야 달콤한 거짓말이야 한번 더 속여도 좋아 다 알지만 듣고 싶은 그 말 서랍속에 버려진 폰처럼 너는 이제 관심조차 없어 Can We Try One More Time So Don't Ya Say Goodbye It's Over Baby Can We Try Baby It Ain't No More You & I 사라지고 없잖아 너의 손길에 나는 길들여 진 채 널 기다리고 있어 믿고 싶은 말이야 달콤한 거짓말이야 한번 더 죽여도 좋아 다 알지만 조르고픈 내 맘 전부 거짓말 믿고 싶은 말 나의 하루는 온통 네 생각인데 헛된 상상이라도 네가 돌아올 것 같아 날 속여줘 ""Nokia" is a reminiscence upon one's abandoned self after love, like an old cell phone. The phone, left in a drawer as if abandoned, resembles being asleep with the power off. The track accentuates Heejin's sentimentality, as she interprets through her own voice without being bound to a certain tempo or mood."

It reconstructs the sound of artists like Madonna, Janet Jackson, and Cyndi Lauper who led Western pop in the 80s, and maximizes the dynamic texture of K-pop style to immediately capture the listener's ears. The music video, just as shown in the teaser, shows Heejin living as a princess in the palace before getting into K-pop, escaping the palace, meeting friends and practicing choreography; in that way it depicts the image of an initiative-taking girl in an audition through the style of a K-drama. This tracks with the narrative of her escaping her old company to meet with friends and becoming one. ARTMS and Odd Eye Circle members Kim Lip, Jinsoul and Choerry all appear, and the surprise appearance of Haseul at the end adds to the fun."
