About Loona

There are at least 3 artists named Loona: 1) LOONA, sometimes stylized as LOOΠΔ (Hangul: 이달의 소녀; lit. Girl of the Month) was a 12 membered South Korean girl group formerly under BlockBerryCreative, a subsidiary of Polaris Entertainment. The group is on an indefinite hiatus as a result of all 12 members winning their contract termination lawsuits, and all (aside from Yves and Chuu who are pursuing a solo career) have spread across four different companies at the time of writing this. The group's members won the right to use the name "LOONA" for future activities. However, they cannot use the group name freely, which limits their ability to act as a full group. Each individual member released a single album up until the group's official debut. A new member was introduced each month. Prior to debuting, the members also promoted in sub-units, each with their own defined concept. On August 7, 2018, after an eighteen-month-long project to introduce the individual members, BlockBerryCreative released "favOriTe" as a pre-release to their upcoming debut album. A week later, on August 15, the tracklist for the album was released and the album was scheduled for August 20. The album was released as [+ +] and the title track chosen for the mini was "Hi High". The mini was positively received, selling over 50,000 copies, the second-best-selling album by a debuting girl group that year, and debuting at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart. On the 25th of November, 2022, member Chuu was removed. On the 13th of January, 2023, members Jin Soul, Kim Lip, Hee Jin and Choerry won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their exclusive contract. On the 10th of May, 2023 members Vivi and Hyun Jin have also won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their contract. On the 16th of June, 2023, members Ha Seul, Yeo Jin, Yves, Go Won and Hye Ju (formerly known as Olivia Hye) won their cases for contract termination. All 12 members have officially left BlockBerry Creative. On the 12th of July, members Kim Lip, Jin Soul, and Choerry officially had their first comeback as the sub-unit ODD EYE CIRCLE, their redebut being managed by their new company MODHAUS.
