외빛정리2/THREAD2
This is just the beginning!!
In the meantime, Orbits are asking BBC for an official statement because BBC makes it clear not to use LOONA for 3rd party promotions/products/sales/etc.
A loose, unorganized list of events re: this "restaurant", its owner, and LOONA
Disclaimer:
- I merely find all this to be very amusing and funny at points, nothing more
- I'm not anti-christian in the slightest (why I choose to disclaim this will become evident)
In this IG post the shop confirms that he graduated from the same high school as lip/chuu, before they did. Supporting! Fair play, nothing noteworthy. A tad cringy, but whatever.
the loona collection grows, he reaffirms his love for jinsoul, we're still safe here though
Likely disallowed use of Jinsoul to promote his upcoming webdrama, which is titled the same as SNSD's genie/소원을 말해봐. Also the soundtrack is OMG's Secret garden. (wait... isn't this a restaurant we're talking about?... Yes!)
The restaurant had a blurb written about it last month. The title? "Forget the era of restaurants that only serve food, the Steve Jobs of Korea has appeared" 🤔😂

translation on next tweet
The Gohyang Jip makes its move into the entertainment space with 3 songs (see next tweet)
"Meanwhile, the gohyang jip is planning plans for photos, videos, music, games, comics, and other media, with new concepts, spanning many genres."

..What did I read? Steve Jobs could never
The songs:
Happy Days
Actually I couldn't find the others mentioned.

But the channel has other songs (that are of similar FL Studio tutorial quality)
Amusingly "The Carol 2018" was particularly cacophonous

but keep at it, my dude!
He had enough money to get a show host, Kim Minwoo, as a promotion model (... I'm sorry but idk who this is, but he must be somewhat noteworthy?)
He will post honest food reviews of the restaurant starting Feb. Our entrepreneur is quite serious about this!

Korbits are saying that the owner is not officially affiliated with LOONA/BBC
1. didn't know BBCs phone number til last month
2. but already had their posters up (see cctv)
3. the fansigns aren't special/promotional material; they're scanned
(continued)
4. he got those signatures himself @ a fansign
5. if you watch the ad, only the officially released 4 ot12/++ posters are present on the wall

Turns out he was a f(x) stan befoer LOONA. I can say at least one thing, he's got taste
using a blurred member (Hint: it's his bias) to tease something, coming out next year

It may be this picture, maybe he got permission to use it!
Loosely: "The gohyang jip is taking in trainees from all over the country for an artistic debut project."
In a slap in the face to those funny accounts calling LOONA a satanic cult, some korbits, going down the DEEEEEEEEEEEEEP end, looked at the Polaris Ent. (parent company of BBC) CEO's heavy catholic background (don't know him? see reddit.com/r/LOONA/commen…)

The CEO notes significant religious happenstance during event planning, having mostly christian artists, organized companywide prayers for fortune

if the last part sounds weird, plz note that things like this DO happen outside your sphere of influence.
But why do korbits care?
The restaurant owner is a missionary

+ *unsubstantiated!!* rumor has it that polaris people go there for meetings and um singing hymns

Like I said, this is some deep-end stuff and it's merely funny to me how far people are digging

Now, back to the owner. He wanted to cast Jinsoul as Saint Mary in a film adaption of The Gospel of Mark (2020) and asked BBC for a video of her acting the role
....😬

and he's taking donations for LOONA OT12 ad support
The catch?
MINIMUM donation 1,000,000 KRW (~890 USD)
(???)

In return, you'll get music, photos, and videos of LOONA. 200GB / 1024GB worth (whatever that means)
200GB is like 4 hrs of 4K video, right?

Me: "kinda sneaky, but why?"

They're selling gohyang jip branded long padding coats, but they say it in a roundabout way to include "...just like LOONA's!" +pic
Look, I've been to Sunday school with no issues, my father sang in mass with the pope, my grandmother does morning and night prayers everyday

but this is kinda creepy.
(the lighting only adds to the effect)

Korbits called BBC and they said "it looks like we'll have to look at this to check for official affiliation. Please leave questions and concerns in the fancafe."

This quote says that the restaurant plays unreleased loona music...? But based the video ad with a remix of Eclipse playing, i'm inclined to think that it's just a bunch of uncredited remix/mashups
(Their menu prices seem meh~alright for Seoul)

That's all for now. Hope it was a fun to follow along
Let's NOT raise any pitchforks!
Even korbits are sitting back now, in half-amusement half-confusion, letting bbc do their thing since they did acknowledge this in a phone call.
