Loona Facts
It might be a question too difficult for young girls to answer yet. The title track ‘Sonatine (알 수 없는 비
밀)’ takes the encounters of love away towards the adolescence of the girls. While ‘Love&Live (지금, 좋
아해)’ was a typical K-pop girl group track with lovely emotions, ‘Sonatine (알 수 없는 비밀)’
mesmerizes the audience with mystical melodies unexpected for a K-pop girl group.
The intro track ‘Love & Evil’ produced by SWEETCH materializes a girl who is lost alone in a dark
forest. With the piano played in Accelerando, the girl runs away deeper into the forest.
Four girls then gather to sing a ‘Sonatine’ to cast an arcane spell of love.
The album continues with a newly released track, ‘Rain 51db (비의 목소리 51db)’ which is an homage to
the first generation K-pop girl groups, S.E.S and Fin.K.L. It also shows their love towards themselves,
trying to revitalize the sentiments of the golden era. Like ViVi’s previous attempt in ‘Everyday I Love
You’, LOOΠΔ 1/3 time-travels back to the 90’s, with the question of “what if LOOΠΔ was created in the
90’s?”. They then raise their innocent and pure voices up as if ‘Rain 51db’ is the original soundtrack to an
animation film with a storytelling, singing that they have “dreams that they do not wake up from.”
HeeJin meets HyunJin, who goes to the same school in the same grade. HaSeul is a warm friend who is
like a mother to YeoJin. ViVi, an android who can’t speak Korean very well introduces JinSoul in Hong
Kong. Each member’s character is pronounced vividly.
Is story of love that 1/3 girls tell ‘Love&Live’ or ‘Love&Evil’?
A new member will be announced in May to build up a new view of the world. The girls of May, June,
and July will be of another unit.
The girls who are lost in the forest have gathered here. Can they save YeoJin?
LOOΠΔ [JinSoul]
LOOΠΔ is a k-pop group building its own unique universe.
The story of LOOΠΔ started with its first girl, HeeJin. Then HyunJin, a close friend and a schoolmate of
HeeJin, joined LOOΠΔ.
HaSeul, who always seems to cause rain wherever she goes, and the youngest member YeoJin, who hops
around everywhere like a noisy frog joined along.
An android from Hong Kong, ViVi was introduced to complete LOOΠΔ's first milestone, LOOΠΔ 1/3.
As they pass through the endless forest created with 'Love&Live' and 'Love&Evil', LOOΠΔ's universe
kept on expanding.
Each girl meets another girl like building 'blocks' stacking, and the encounters of each girl creates new
synergies to bear 'berries'.
The structure built by these young innocent girls eclipsed with Kim Lip's appearance to show a different
side of what they had built.
Now, the introduction of a new girl draws a even bigger circle now.
JinSoul is the girl of this month.
JinSoul had caught the eyes of the fans first with ViVi's help during their encounter in Hong Kong. She
finally joins LOOΠΔ with her new single, 'Singing in the Rain'.
Dressed in a blue school uniform, she brings a future bass track, 'Singing in the Rain' to show her colors
to the fullest. The track fires up speakers with its accelerating tempo like a pulsating heart in excitement.
The title of the supporting track 'Love Letter' performed by JinSoul and Kim Lip sounds like a ballad
number, but it actually is a track full of groove, created from the clash of the two girls with their unique
and distinct styles.
Now with its progress just over half way, the universe of LOOΠΔ strengthens more and more to show its
real potential. Kim Lip, JinSoul, and the next girl to come will form a new unit to add colors very
different from what LOOΠΔ 1/3 has brought.
As it was mentioned in LOOΠΔ TV, about 50 trainees are training hard under the name of 'LOOΠΔTIOΠ'
as candidates for the last four slots in the third unit of LOOΠΔ, which will expand the universe with its
whole new spectrum once again.
LOOΠΔ [Choerry]
LOOΠΔ is a k-pop girl group building its own universe.
Each member of the group is introduced with a single of her own. The universe of LOOΠΔ is expanded
by combination of the new member with previously introduced members.
After the announcement of a new unit with Kim Lip eclipsing, LOOΠΔ’s colors deepened with JinSoul
singing in the rain. The circle gets completed now with the introduction of Choerry.
Choerry’s title track ‘Love Cherry Motion’ is a funky pop dance tune blasting through hot summer,
demonstrating Choerry’s juicy charm. The love spell ‘Love Cherry Motion’ is produced with the
opposing qualities of refreshingly explosive chorus and ethnic break beats to create its own sense of style
in finesse.
The music video was shot in Jeju Island to capture the visual attraction of the summer. HaSeul, the leader
of LOOΠΔ 1/3 and YeoJin, the youngest member of LOOΠΔ joined forces to help out in the process. The
surprise combination of Kim Lip and JinSoul during the beat break lets the audiences to take a little peek
at the new unit for the fans to look forward to.
The supporting track ‘Puzzle’ is a duet by JinSoul and Choerry, produced by Daniel Obi Klein who also
produced Kim Lip’s ‘Eclipse’. JinSoul’s vocal flair and Choerry’s beautiful harmonies become the pieces
of the ‘Puzzle’ being put together.
Busting through from the release of HeeJin’s ‘ViViD’ up to Choerry’s ‘Love Cherry Motion’ without a
break, LOOΠΔ will spend the month of August to rest. Kim Lip’s color red, JinSoul’s color blue, and
Choerry’s color purple will combine for a new unit’s album to be released in September.
LOOΠΔ [Yves]
Moving on through LOOΠΔ 1/3 and LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE, LOOΠΔ has taken roots into its
unique Loonaverse.
Each member gathered to form a unit which became not just a collaboration, but a complete group with
distinct musical style.
LOOΠΔ 1/3 sang about the thrill of first love and the sorrow of heartbreak. LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE
took the fans by surprise with their odd view of the world.
In the process, LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE has placed themselves among the names in the iTunes
charts worldwide, and in the Billboard top world albums chart, mix and matching to write their own
organic story.
Now, LOOΠΔ takes another step with the introduction of Yves to start building its last four-member
squad.
Yves asks a question in Eden. “Is it really a bad thing to disobey God?” If someone has already decided
our fate, wouldn’t it be a better life to stand up and against that fate?
Even if it’s not something grand such as God or fate, Yves sings that she will not surrender herself to any
walls or glass ceilings she may have to face.
The title track “new” is a song where Yves declares that she will be herself no matter what kind of
hardships, pain, and frustration faces her. It is the first track released in the genre of Soultronica in Korea,
with Yves’ confident voice laid on top of bold beats to prove LOOΠΔ’s new concept and quality.
The music video for “new” was directed by DigiPedi. He captures fatal images of Yves, who takes a bite
of the apple on purpose to be exiled to the earth.
The supporting track “D-1” is a French-pop style track with trivial emotions and stories of a girl told in a
classy way.
Just as ‘Love & Live’, ‘Love & Evil’, ‘Mix & Match’, and ‘Max & Match’ have, LOOΠΔ shuffles and
swaps words to toughen its Mobius strip to become one.
LOOΠΔ [Chuu]
LOOΠΔ’s each member with her own distinctive character encounters each other to build up the universe.
The first member HeeJin started off by meeting HyunJin, which then led to introduction of HaSeul to
make three. While the youngest member, YeoJin, and ViVi from Hong Kong join, LOOΠΔ 1/3 was
complete. [Love&Live], an album full with emotions of first crush, gets reversed to create [Love&Evil],
an album with pain of first break-up to wrap up the first chapter of LOOΠΔ 1/3’s career.
LOOΠΔ creates another circle with LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE with girls who prefer to take charge in
a relationship, KimLip, JinSoul, and Choerry. They mix and match through [Mix&Match] to the
maximum level of [Max&Match], while LOOΠΔ developed the depth of their music, visuals, and
storytelling to the next level.
We all wonder who the last member is going to be. The start of the new unit took off with Yves, and now
the tenth member of LOOΠΔ, Chuu, reveals herself to bring a new wind into the universe of LOOΠΔ.
The new single lets the fans take a peek into what JiWoo, who has already been a popular trainee among
fans, had to go through to become ‘Chuu’, and her desire to be loved by Yves, who also has said in her
lyrics, “my heart that wants to be like you gets colored, filled with you.”
The titled track “Heart Attack” does not interpret the feelings of being in love in a serious way, but with
Chuu’s own adorable emoticon-like ways. The music video has references to historical and fictional
figures such as the artist Rene Magritte, Hans Christian Andersen’s short story “The Little Match Girl”,
and John Appleby’s novel “Aphrodite Means Death”.
The supporting track “Girl’s Talk” is a duet by Chuu and Yves, a rendition of a daily dialogue between
two girls. Sweet but sometimes secretive, the precious chats between the girls get reinterpreted to become
a song. G-High of Monotree, who has produced HeeJin’s “ViViD” and LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE’s
“Uncover”, crafts the track to perfection to prove the quality
When four girls who denied the garden of Eden gathers, the party begins.
LOOΠΔ/yyxy [beauty&thebeat]
Each one of the members have their unique identity as a solo artist, and the solo artists gather to form a
unit.
When the units finally gather, they create a world.
LOOΠΔ 1/3 sang the excitement and expectations of the first love through ‘Love&Live’.
LOOΠΔ/ODD EYE CIRCLE sang that love is not about waiting, but about stepping forward and taking
action through ‘Mix&Match’.
Finally, LOOΠΔ/yyxy sings about the love of youth so shiny to seem luminous, through
‘beauty&thebeat’.
They decide to be truthful to their emotions in the moment, free of worries about what may come
tomorrow.
Yves, Chuu, Go Won, and Olivia Hye, the members of LOOΠΔ/yyxy, have talked about their own self-
awareness and ego in their solo releases.
The ego takes them to admire or even be jealous of someone else, like many girls in their age do.
Sometimes the story derives from self-hatred or disappointment.
However, they all come to a realization that ego isn’t decided or made by someone else, but is complete
by loving oneself.
dal segno
The definition of ‘dal segno’ the title of the intro track is ‘return to segno’.
The time of youth, which goes around and around in the same loop without their own intentions seemed
like ‘dal segno’.
In the loop, they find the light that lets them discover their own ego.
love4eva (feat. Grimes)
E-TRIBE, the maestro of dance music known for producing SNSD’s ‘Gee’, and an upcoming production
team ‘BADD’ have collaborated to produce the track where the members of LOOΠΔ/yyxy completed
“love4eva” with their various voice colors and expressive emotions.
Sudden encounter of a crush. They sing that it is not just a process to get the person to love you back, but
their emotion itself is what is lovable and precious.
Also, the news that one of the hippest artists in the world, Grimes, will be featuring in the track have
raised a fervor in the pop scene around the globe.
The beats lay on the start of the girls with blessing and grace by Grimes, the creator of her own musical
universe.
The music video was shot exclusively in Budapest, Hungary with LOOΠΔ’s video director Digipedi. The
director captures LOOΠΔ/yyxy’s process of completing their ego,
which may be a ‘new’ ‘heart attack’ which is ‘one&only’ and ‘egoist’ in their own each way.
frozen
“frozen” aurally mesmerizes the audiences with oriental story-telling on top of a westernized beats.
The melodies of the verse start in the spring passes through summer, where it reaches the chorus and hits
you like winter, until flowers bloom again.
one way
“one way” actually is a track that has been kept aside for a long time
to be used in a concept album titled ‘LOOΠΔ the Ballad’.
‘LOOΠΔ the Ballad’ which will be released in May 2019, is an album composed of ballad songs
with the best melodies among many common ballad numbers.
“one way” is a sneak preview for what is to come, through the emotional expressions in the voices of
LOOΠΔ/yyxy.
Yves opens with a dry voice as if she is standing alone in the silent desert,
Chuu fills up the space with her voice full of moisture. Go Won’s crunchy voice
and Olivia Hye’s voice with the duality of day and night, gather to complete one music.
rendezvous 18.6y
18.6 years is the sidereal period of the moon.
The coincidence of the girls becoming LOOΠΔ 1/3, YeoJin, LOOΠΔ/ODD EYE CIRCLE, and lastly
LOOΠΔ/yyxy. And one fate.
Meeting with fans who have recognized LOOΠΔ from even before the debut.
Endless things such as these that can only be described as ‘rendezvous’
That is how rendezvous 18.6y becomes meaningful.
LOOΠΔ was designed to be at its maximum potential when LOOΠΔ 1/3, LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE,
LOOΠΔ / yyxy, and YeoJin combine.
At its maximum power for the first time, LOOΠΔ's lead single 'favOriTe' declares the signature sound of
LOOΠΔ at its complete form.
LOOΠΔ [+ +]
‘+ +’ represents the ‘plus plus’ effect LOOΠΔ 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE, yyxy, and YeoJin gather to
create.
LOOΠΔ was born in its own universe with three uniquely structured teams. In other words, it was not
designed as a group diving up into three units, but three teams were built to create one universe.
LOOΠΔ 1/3 is a combination of girls present on planet earth. These girls portray the most realistic and
practical sceneries that can easily be found on the streets or in school. HeeJin, HyunJin, HaSeul and ViVi
start their stories in France, Japan, Iceland, and Hong Kong to become unified as one.
LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE places itself in between the earth and the cosmos. The beginning of ODD
EYE CIRCLE was by looking at three moons (ODD). Mutative, or varietal, girls gather to form the ODD
EYE CIRCLE, and show themselves by taking control in love relationships instead of waiting passively.
LOOΠΔ / yyxy was also known as ‘Edenism’ as it was placed beyond the earth of 1/3 and the middle
earth of ODD EYE CIRCLE, in the place where we call ‘utopia’. But, the girls of Eden decide to deny the
rules of Eden to venture off on a forbidden quest to find their identities. The emotions of each girls, faith,
hope, love, and anger gather to form a being named yyxy.
As the title suggests, the first track ‘+ +’ is a mash-up of the intro tracks of the albums by LOOΠΔ 1/3,
ODD EYE CIRCLE, and yyxy.
The titled track ‘Hi High’ is a song in the genre of Hi Energy, emitting positive energy that the gathering
of the twelve members create. The desire to play hard-to-get is portrayed in the lyrics through the
characters of each member. HeeJin says, “I don’t want to pass my love on to you so easily,” while
HyunJin says, “because I’m that pretty girl,” and Choerry says, “I’m not playing hard-to-get but boys will
be boys, watch out, watch out,” telling what is on their minds candidly. The high BPM like a high-speed
sprint along with melodies pouring down, and splendid track arrangements forces the listeners to hold
their breath and focus on the music.
The official music video of ‘Hi High’, directed by the visual director Digipedi, narrates how LOOΠΔ 1/3
meets ODD EYE CIRCLE, and how these girls unite with yyxy to soar to the sky, with countless visual
symbolisms hidden in the scenes.
The lead-off single ‘favOriTe’ is the iconic signature sound of LOOΠΔ, completed with beats and synth
stabs that previous girl-groups have never tried before.
‘열기 (9)’, is a track that proves a point that even without aggressive tempo, the temperature of the music
can become heated up by the fervor of the girls. Along with it, a track with commercial sound that grabs
you like love at first sight, ‘Perfect Love’, and a musical suggestion for you to become brave through the
luxury of imagination that everyone cherishes in a corner of their hearts, ‘Stylish’ complete [+ +], the first
album of LOOΠΔ with musical elements of LOOΠΔ 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE, and yyxy.
LOOΠΔ, building LOONAverse with belief and certainty, finally gathers all twelve members and stands
on their first stepping stone.
LOOΠΔ [X X]
Coincidence meets coincidence in LOOΠΔ to make each other’s fate.
HeeJin and HyunJin are real-life friends while HaSeul is like the mother of the team. YeoJin is the
youngest sister of all. The team expanded its cells by family-like relationships. The only foreign member
and an android ViVi gets introduced to become LOOΠΔ 1/3.
ODD EYE CIRCLE was born at the opposite end. With the story of three moons gathering to form a full
circle, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry decide to stand at the frontlines to save the world, under their
slogan ‘Girl Front.’
Born in Eden the utopian land, LOOΠΔ / yyxy chooses to embrace the forbidden and leaves to find their
own selves. Yves, the leader of yyxy, had “faith” in being born again with the song ‘new’. Chuu keeps
her “hopes" up with her yearning towards Yves. Go Won “loves” her unique self. Olivia Hye shows
“anger” towards the taboos of Eden. When all of their emotions gather, a Neoanthropinae genes of yyxy
manifests.
All of the units meet with YeoJin to add to the addition, resulting in their first EP [+ +] to announce the
start of LOOΠΔ. At the ‘First full Moon of the LOOΠΔ new Year,’ LOOΠΔ starts their two-two-
dimensional fusion with [X X].
The intro track ‘X X’ foreshadows that the album is completed at the opposite side of where [+ +] is.
The title track ‘Butterfly’ contains LOOΠΔ’s irreplaceable unique concepts. Mixing softness with
dynamics, the track takes LOOΠΔ to another level with new beats and drops never heard in K-pop before,
along with electronic sounds and melody.
Shot in Iceland, Paris, and Hong Kong, the teasers of [X X] started on first of January to unravel the
stories behind the universe of LOOΠΔ. Under the slogan of ‘For All LOOΠΔs Around the World,’ it
spread worldwide, to all LOOΠΔs of the world.
LOOΠΔ causes a Butterfly effect through music for the listeners to gain courage, find oneself, and raise
one’s voice. Anyone under influence, is another LOOΠΔ.
LOOΠΔ’s visual director DIGIPEDI toured around 5 countries from 5 continents for LOOΠΔ’s Butterfly
effects to capture the freedom and courage of girl worldwide in the music video of ‘Butterfly.’
‘Satellite’ starts calmly, but as music flows and orbits, the layers stack to double the listeners’ excitement.
‘Curiosity’ is a dream-pop number that draws you in with its mysterious aesthetics.
‘Colors’ has the LOOΠΔ universe dissolved into the track, desiring for each other’s colors and dye each
other to become love portrayed with a drop beat. ‘Where you at’ was a previously prepared track along
with ‘one way’ of yyxy in LOOΠΔ the Ballad album. It is a pop-ballad song with melodies so powerful
that the members of LOOΠΔ memorized the whole song with just one listen.
Additionally, in the limited edition of LOOΠΔ [X X] CD’s, the very first hints to the next album are
hidden in two bonus tracks, to arouse more curiosity and anticipation.
LOOΠΔ collides fate into destiny to create coincidence.
