This is SO interesting to watch someone react to this who has no idea about the history of LOONA. Let me try to get you up to speed real quick and I’m going to attempt to not overwhelm you lol: -LOONA was a 12 member girl group under BBC entertainment. They debuted as a 12 piece in 2018 but had one of the most ambitious pre-debut projects in kpop where each girl got their own solo debut leading up to their debut -In 2022, BBC announced that Chuu (easily the most famous member) would no longer be a member of LOONA because of “abuse of power” and the fans and the rest of the members were NOT having it -BBC announced a LOONA comeback after kicking Chuu out of the group which then ensued the first successful boycott in all of kpop history which lead to BBC cancelling the LOONA comeback -All 12 members filed for injunction of their exclusive contracts with BBC -On June 16th of this year, all 12 members are finally free from BBC and began their new journey as follows… •Chuu joined ATRP Entertainment and will have a solo (re)debut in October! •Jinsoul, Kim Lip, Choerry, Haseul, and Heejin signed to Modhaus Entertainment where they became the ARTMS project. Those LOONA pre-debut sun units I mentioned earlier? Well Jaden Jeong of Modhaus got the rights to use the name of Jinsoul, Kim Lip, and Choerry’s subunit “ODD EYE CIRCLE” in which they had their first comeback in 6 years! It’s called “AIR FORCE 1” and I have a feeling you’ll love it! Haseul and Heejin will have solos at some point but it’s unconfirmed •Hyunjin, Go Won, ViVi, Hyeju (formerly Olivia Hye), and Yeojin joined CTD ENM to form LOOSSEMBLE (Loona Assemble) where they (re)debuted with Sensitive! This particular debut was exciting because these were the members that consistently got the least screen time and least lines in every single comeback •Yves is said to be working on her solo album but has yet to sign with a company, however she co-composed and fully wrote the lyrics for Strawberry Soda on LOOSSEMBLE’s album To break all that down a bit clearer •Chuu - solo in Oct. •Yves - no confirmed projects •Jinsoul - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS •Kim Lip - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS •Choerry - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS •Heejin - working on solo | ARTMS •Haseul - no confirmed projects | ARTMS •Hyunjin - LOOSSEMBLE •Hyeju - LOOSSEMBLE •Yeojin - LOOSSEMBLE •ViVi - LOOSSEMBLE •Go Won - LOSSEMBLE The best part about all of this is the 12 girls have been openly supportive of all of each other’s new group projects on their social media. Also you need to check out LOONA! Here is every title track they ever had… -HI HIGH -Butterfly -SO WHAT -WHY NOT? -PTT (Paint the Town) -Flip That You’ll notice that all of their music videos as well as the recent “Sensitive” by LOOSSEMBLE and “AIR FORCE ONE” by ODD EYE CIRCLE are all space related! It has to do with the LOONA more than fans know and love. Anyway, I’m sure I’ve lost you! 😅 hahaha LOONA are my ult group and I love you as a reactor so if I can influence you at all to react then that’s a win!
I've been listening to this album religiously since it came out. Its so good. For a little background on this group: All 5 members were part of the group 12 member group LOONA and signed here after winning lawsuits to terminate their contract. 5 other members from LOONA also signed with the same company Triple S is at and 3 of those members have already redebuted with the title track "Air Force One". Highly recommend it. LOONA is up there as one of my all time favorite groups and im glad these girls are still able to do what they love!
Thank you so much for reacting! They are 5/12 members of LOONA who formed a new unit after their exclusive contracts with their old company were terminated. (Their name is LOONA Assemble (loossemble:) I think you’ll really like the mini album! All the members had writing credits on the EP 🩵
The youngest is certainly around 22 years old, but she already has a solo at the age of 14, back in 2016, and she participated in at least 5 studio albums, like all of them, her debut was in 2018, now they are re-debuting after breaking free from his abusive company
Dreamcatcher is my ult group, but Loona is probably right next in line. I was worried about how Loossemble would turn out, but they slayed and served! This is honestly my pick for my AOTY at the moment
Loona was a group of 12 the last year they demanded their company for mistreatment and abusive contracts and the 12 managed to leave this year Now many of them are returning as Odd Eye Circle a month ago and now these 5 like Loossemble they have always had great music and they kept it with their redebut you have to listen his album, my favorites were "Real World", "Newtopia" and "Day by day" and obviously the title
They're 5 out of 12 members in LOONA! All 12 members had a lawsuit against their former company after they kicked one member (Chuu) and as of June this year they all got out of there! Now they're starting their new jouneys with 5 members of Loossemble 3 members of ODD EYE CIRCLE and 4 solo members. Loossemble is made out of Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Gowon and Hyeju (formerly known as Olivia Hye) and I'm glad you pointed out their voices! Their previous company didn't to them justice at all and they sometimes didnt even get 2 seconds of lines or screentime in their songs and MVs...
Funny that you mentioned Vivi having a lot of presence during the highlight medley because she was actually a model in Hong Kong before she went into Kpop. That's why she usually does an amazing job in photoshoots.
The one in the Khakis you pointed out is Hyunjin, the “commander” of this group. Not sure what that means quite yet. The one in the second verse that you pointed out for liking her voice is GoWon! The member you pointed out in highlight medley as having a lot of presence is Vivi! She’s the oldest member in both Loona and Loossemble, and is the only foreign member, hailing from Hong Kong! At the end of this MV, the pods are very obviously a reference to all 12 members of Loona (there are 12 pods). The ones with bodies in them are the other 3 Loossemble members while Hyunjin just exited hers and Vivi is on the computer. There are many theories about the specificities of the why or how but that requires knowledge of their lore from before 2023. The space shuttle at the end is heading for the US, which is fitting because currently their have a string of shows in the US for their US Debut Ceremony, some small concerts to kickoff their debut instead of having their showcases and going on music shows in SK. This fits into their entire concept of Lossemble. Their name combines the words “Loona” and “Assemble”, and the entire concept we’ve been given since the first moment they were named is that they’re looking for their friends, aka the other Loona members. It’s really quite touching. This is a new group (many orbits consider this as a new subunit as well) formed by 5 members of Loona. While Loona has not officially disbanded, all 12 members are in 3 (soon to be 4) different companies at the moment, and due to their ongoing court dates with their former company, most likely can’t do activities fully as Loona at the moment until that is dissolved. However they constantly remind us that they’re all part of Loona, still call us orbits except for specific events (like in the Loossemble showcase in the US, they’re calling us C.Loo, like “crew”). So I have high hopes that as long as things go their way in this legal feud with their last company, we will see Loona on stage as 12 again. Instead, Odd Eye Circle (an already existing Loona subunit) made their 3rd comeback after 5 years, Loossemble made their debut, while Heejin (part of the ARTMS project with Haseul and Odd Eye Circle[Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry]) and Chuu are set to make their debut as soloists this October!! This is nothing I expected for Loona since November of last year when everything with them and their company went down, and it is an AMAZING time to be an orbit. Can’t wait to watch your reaction to Loossemble’s mini album!! I’d love to see you react to Odd Eye Circle’s mini album, and Heejin and Chuu’s solos when they debut as well!! Like I said, it’s a very exciting time to be an orbit! I wish I could recommend listening to Loona’s past entire catalog (it’s a LOT) BUT since all streams give their last company money, PLEASE don’t do this, as we are still in an effective boycott. Orbits have resources for listening to their music without giving their company money, but reactions normally end up claimed by their company for the songs. (Not striking videos but being able to claim their music is in the video and making money off of it that way)
HyunJin's title is just a variation on the Leader role that most Kpop groups have. She was chosen by vote of the fans on Twitter (however I don't think it was ever in doubt who the leader should be - HyunJin's role in the boycott showed fantastic leadership skills and she deserves that Commander title!
The scene of the capsules where Hyunjin (the girl in the white dress) woke up is a reference to the 12 original members of the group Loona and the capsule where the girl woke up has an even clearer reference to the original group because the nomeclature "L1202" appears, which translates into Loona 12 02, Hyunjin being the second member to be revealed in 2016 and her name "LOOSSEMBLE" is a contraction of Loona Assemble since the twelve girls have expressed their desire to continue with the group, although it will be a little difficult because as already Someone above in the comments expressed it, the girls are spread across three different agencies.
Idk if you reacted to AIR FORCE ONES by ODD EYE CIRCLE but them and Loossemble were in the same group called LOONA. There were some legal problems with their agency and the girls sadly had to separate and now they are in new groups. Every Loossemble girl contributed with lyrics in this album which is the first time they did that since debuting in LOONA and also another former member from LOONA actually wrote and helped produce Strawberry Soda for Loossemble.
I'm glad you like them. Let's check out some more Loona! 🥳 Also, since you vibed with Real World, I think you will really like the velvet side of Red Velvet as well.
Loona is one of my ult groups (along with Super Junior, BTOB and Girls Generation). Loona had so much potential but their company was horrible. Unbeknownst to us, the girls were being being mistreated and had signed literal slave contracts to where they would basically never make money without engaging in commercials, variety shows, etc. Their company rarely sent them out, though, so they couldn't earn anything. Only one member ever had a chance, Chuu. She discovered how unfair the contracts were and started fighting the company through lawsuits. BBC then kicked her out of the group and the other members said 12 members or no members, and they all launched lawsuits. Now all are free, and with different labels, but still are Loona. They hope to one day reunite as 12, but that will most likely not be for a while. One of the other set of members, Odd Eye Circle, who is at Modhaus came out with an album 2 months ago. Chuu is coming out with an album in a month. So they are happy and doing what they love. On Patreon, if you want, you can react to their solo mv's and their group ones. Orbits (the fandom) have places where we have the videos saved that won't give money to their old company. Each member was introduced with a solo MV and there are subunit videos too. All of that before they officially debuted as a group. They are definitely worth checking out further.
Time to go down the loona rabbit hole pat
Ehehehehe

To break all that down a bit clearer
•Chuu - solo in Oct.
•Yves - no confirmed projects
•Jinsoul - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS
•Kim Lip - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS
•Choerry - ODD EYE CIRCLE | ARTMS
•Heejin - working on solo | ARTMS

The best part about all of this is the 12 girls have been openly supportive of all of each other’s new group projects on their social media.
Also you need to check out LOONA! Here is every title track they ever had…
-HI HIGH
-Butterfly
-SO WHAT
-WHY NOT?
-PTT (Paint the Town)
-Flip That
You’ll notice that all of their music videos as well as the recent “Sensitive” by LOOSSEMBLE and “AIR FORCE ONE” by ODD EYE CIRCLE are all space related! It has to do with the LOONA more than fans know and love.
Anyway, I’m sure I’ve lost you! 😅 hahaha LOONA are my ult group and I love you as a reactor so if I can influence you at all to react then that’s a win!
love your explanation! thank you for doing this

just love reaction from somebody doesn't know anything of this group..this so honestly pure reaction
I'm so glad you are excited with the albums
The youngest is certainly around 22 years old, but she already has a solo at the age of 14, back in 2016, and she participated in at least 5 studio albums, like all of them, her debut was in 2018, now they are re-debuting after breaking free from his abusive company
So excited to see Loossemble in LA! Love Sensitive, Newtopia, the whole album! So happy for them.
Dreamcatcher is my ult group, but Loona is probably right next in line. I was worried about how Loossemble would turn out, but they slayed and served! This is honestly my pick for my AOTY at the moment
Loona was a group of 12 the last year they demanded their company for mistreatment and abusive contracts and the 12 managed to leave this year

glad u reacted to loossemble!! they actually are former members of the group loona as to which their contracts were terminated.
They're 5 out of 12 members in LOONA! All 12 members had a lawsuit against their former company after they kicked one member (Chuu) and as of June this year they all got out of there!

Omg you have to react to the mini album… it’s amazing!
The scene of the capsules where Hyunjin (the girl in the white dress) woke up is a reference to the 12 original members of the group Loona and the capsule where the girl woke up has an even clearer reference to the original group because the nomeclature "L1202" appears, which translates into Loona 12 02, Hyunjin being the second member to be revealed in 2016 and her name "LOOSSEMBLE" is a contraction of Loona Assemble since the twelve girls have expressed their desire to continue with the group, although it will be a little difficult because as already Someone above in the comments expressed it, the girls are spread across three different agencies.
Pat.. lemme tell you, this is just the tip of the iceberg😂
You have to buy their mini album now!
The one in the khaki pants indeed has personality. RIGHT, ORBITS?? "Personality" 😂
🐱❤🍞
Right, I think you got into kpop during the LOONA boycott era. Long story short, all of the former LOONA members shined . Now they get to re-debut!
Idk if you reacted to AIR FORCE ONES by ODD EYE CIRCLE but them and Loossemble were in the same group called LOONA. There were some legal problems with their agency and the girls sadly had to separate and now they are in new groups. Every Loossemble girl contributed with lyrics in this album which is the first time they did that since debuting in LOONA and also another former member from LOONA actually wrote and helped produce Strawberry Soda for Loossemble.
I'm glad you like them. Let's check out some more Loona! 🥳
Also, since you vibed with Real World, I think you will really like the velvet side of Red Velvet as well.
THIS GUY HAS SOME TASTE 🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i hope you react to their mini! it's so good, i've been listening to it nonstop!
mannnn you should dive into loona, it's truly an experience...
please react to loona!!!!
Are you gonna post the album reaction? :0

On Patreon, if you want, you can react to their solo mv's and their group ones. Orbits (the fandom) have places where we have the videos saved that won't give money to their old company.
