Capsule Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Jaden Jeong, the original creative director/producer behind kpop powerhouse LOONA, has signed 4 of LOONA's members (Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry and Heejin) to an exclusive contract with his new label MODHAUS. They were teased under the name "ARTMS Project", which has since been confirmed to not be the group's official name. Also, the label has already trademarked the name ODD EYE CIRCLE, the original name of the subunit featuring 3 of the four currently-signed members. The teaser image features the 12 phases of the moon, which has fans hopeful that all 12 original members will eventually come into the project when their own legal battles with Blockberry Creative are finished. The teaser audio calls back to some previous releases, and is thought to be teasing the eventual release of the shelved "LOONA the Ballad" album. It is being rumored that this new project is meant to be a continuation of the lore of the LOONAverse. Not much else is known as of yet, but the four members have already begun recording.

cocomong Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I find it funny that they're calling them teaser photos, when i look at them as just artist announcements. Just to welcome / introduce the girls as new talent to their company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to welcome / introduce the girls as new talent to their company I feel like they are being very specific using the word "teaser" so that they can keep the buzz going by making people something will come sooner than they plan. It's smart, imo, because they are basically starting fresh. The 4 of them starting out again won't pull back all of their original fans because some people truly are only fans of certain members. So them retaining any amount of buzz they can will be beneficial to them going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Pop Girl Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 It just sucks that they even need to be doing this. LOONA should have had the support they needed to be as successful as they could in the first place! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsule Posted June 14, 2023 Author Share Posted June 14, 2023 Vivi and Hyunjin have been granted release from their contracts and have signed with CTD E&M, a new label created by a former SM executive who also worked on the LOONA project in the past. It's seeming like a reunion of all 12 members is becoming less and less likely, although it's not impossible to achieve even if they're all represented at different small agencies. But, as it stands, the members are all under contract with the following companies: Modhaus: - Kim Lip - Heejin - Jinsoul -Choerry CTD E&M: - Vivi - Hyunjin ATRP: - Chuu Blockberry Creative: - Haseul - Yeojin - Gowon - Olivia Hye - Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cute, but definitely not happening until the other 5 are free from Blockberry. The 5 still signed to them have slightly different contracts apparently and that's why they're still being held under contract... due to some clause in the contract that only certain members got? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsule Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 Seoul High Courts have reportedly officially ruled in favor of the remaining 5 members of LOONA and now all 12 members are free! On top of that, it seems the ODD EYE CIRCLE sub-unit will be the first to make their long-awaited comeback!

cocomong Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 They’re not entirely free but I’m glad they have freedom to NOT be basically forced to work for them. All the court dates & everything have to be done before they’re completely free & can hopefully join the rest of the girls. though I am excited about OEC’s comeback.

Main Pop Girl Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I'm happy for them! I'm still not sure this will ever lead to a full LOONA reunion, but at least they have some freedom and control over their career now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
