"Check-in: LOONA" (No VOD if you miss the livestream)
now.naver.com/player/166
(The guests show up one at a time like this)
- They do individual greetings
Q: Oh do you have any signature gestures you do when yourselves individually?
Jinsoul says only she does that hand gesture when she introduces herself as JinSOUL
Host mentions Not Friends being near the top on various countries' iTunes charts, notes how LOONA's often up there on iTunes charts abroad

They saw the MV and wonder how come they don't have any music show performances
Asks whether Yves actually drove that Porsche
Yves: Yes-- No I actually don't have a license, I just pretended to drive and they moved the screen like that in the MV
Q: You each had a gun in the MV, how was it, holding those guns?
Jinsoul says they were really heavy, when she held up the gun, her aim trembled too much - so that's why there was no closeup scene of her aiming a gun
Assorted items from the members (who owns what):
Headphones
Vitamins
Mirror
Necklace

Host mentions that they're actually the first gg guests they've had so far
Mirror is Heejin's, in front are her dogs (gifted from a fan)

The vitamins are Kim Lip's, she's taking care of her health (she doesn't have these everyday, but when she feels tired)
Hosts mentions that LOONA's choreos are particularly demanding so they should, if so
Necklace is Jinsoul's - she got matching necklaces with her mom recently
Host: did your mom request this?
Jinsoul: no, I suggested it. But she paid
Headphones (Pink Bose QC35) - is Yves. Fan-gifted, she mentions that the noise cancelling is really good, so she didn't wake up on time in the car once (she listens to sounds of rain to fall asleep) she says that the members thought she was dead that time
Host mentions that Shownu's a deep sleeper too so they got concerned before as well after he slept so long once, it was like he was dead
Jinsoul says that they tease members who sleep so long by saying "they're dead!"
Yves explains why she doesn't go by Sooyoung (there are already huge sunbaenims by that name) and the Yves is related to Adam&Eve because of lore, which surprises the hosts
A host mentions Eevee as well, evolving into a different form for each concept
[They're picking keywords]
Heejin picks the "Strong point" keyword
Heejin say that people say she's loud
On the flipside she's not good at multitasking
Flips "not good at multitasking" really meaning "good at focusing"

Lip picks "battery", host mentions external battery/power bank, and she likes having a full phone battery as well
Jinsoul picks the "fireworks" keyword
Kind of a tough one, MX mentions concerts
Jinsoul says it's been so long since their last concert so she can't remember too clearly, which the hosts mentions suddenly feels rly sad
Talking about concerts that fell through, like Jinsoul mentioning the world tour that was planned but then COVID (they all agree that it's really sad)

For concerts Heejin would like to have the members swap solos
They talked about food preferences and how they get the item/eat how they individually like

Keyword: "Gate"
the Q is "something that makes people want to stan" - host notes the cover dance videos and how good they were "if you're going to do a cover you need to do it like that"
Might be a little embarrassing, but do you have any personal opinions on "why they're fans of me?" They tell Kim Lip to answer since it's her question
Host will go first, he's the main vocal but he says not a bad dancer either, he thinks he's a pretty good singer, and kinda cute
LOONA says they heard him thru in-ears during kcon or smth and mention that he sounded so good live they didn't know it was live
Heejin thinks she has a surprisingly low voice
Lip says she appears tough but she's actually soft
Jinsoul: inarticulate speech... and jawline
Yves: she's not sure but she's like an unnie you're close with
Kihyun mentions that she gave off a confident look onstage, which conveys something like "yeah I'm here and I know I'm good"
May be a chat Q: Who would you date looking at this subunit
Yves: Lip
Jinsoul: Yves, since she doesn't want to pick someone younger than her (she'd prefer someone older tho)
Lip wants to pick Yves, they have good conversations together
Heejin picks Lip too, similar taste in food
Speaking of food - Yves mentions having really spicy food and they all talk a bit about that
Q: Any strong points for...
Heejin says that there's a really warm side of Jinsoul so when they're really sad/crying Jinsoul will come over like a baby and console them like "why're you crying?.."
MX say thats a totally different vibe from their group, they'd be like "you crying???" and it would be something they'd tease about
Fan Q: Of the 4, who has the biggest hand?
(They ask if their nails count - lip wins from that I think )
They talk about the perceived/reality gap for the members, Yves says when she's expressionless people think she's tough but she's not rly
Jinsoul says same
MX says they've heard similar things for themselves (looking tough, some people would say they look like they'd get into fights, when they don't even really go outside the waiting room much at music shows), but partially attributes it to the concepts they do
Talking about food again
In a month, what's something you'd have the most?
Tteokbokki's mentioned
Jinsoul: hagfish but that's just with her and Choerry
Heejin: cup noodles
fan Q: what kind of video would you like to make for yourself?
Yves mentions the loona logs, which they edit themselves
She says that they submit the whole thing to bbc, and they get back a list of things to edit/revise in the video (so it's not fixed up by the company)
The hosts are very surprised by this, wondering if bbc has a video team (they do), but it must make the fans proud to know the members are so good at video editing
Something to brag about:
Lip mentions writing lyrics during quarantine for Not Friends in 2-3h
Heejin talks about her ~7min planks (shocking the hosts)
They mention their MBTIs
Kihyun: ENFP
IM: tbh idk MBTI that much, I don't really like the compartmentalizing/stereotypes that come from MBTI traits, like people saying they don't want to be around people who are certain traits, others agree that's going a bit too far
Re; Lip for Not Friends, don't know how much of the lyrics she wrote exactly
Wrapping up the show, Heejin pulls a prize, coupon for one free appearance on Midnight Idol (so she could show up sometime later, maybe surprise host, possibly bringing along some other members)
-end- (this was drawn live by Heejin on the iPad during the closer)
Ah this written question was actually sent in by Yves? (she said she couldn't think of any question at the time. Plus she adds not exactly the literal member, but just that style of person)
A few things:
1. Linked twt is correct, none of the hosts said anything wrong here, and everyone present was in agreement in the first place so it really wasn't an issue (didn't think it would be presented as such in my orig translation, but alas)

Livestream link (no VOD in link afterwards)
now.naver.com/player/911 Image
Miyeon remarks about how cold it's suddenly gotten the past week as we've moved from August to September, though fall's her third favorite season. (In order summer, spring, fall, winter)
This is live so they can read chat, unlike last week which was pre-recorded apparently
Autumn reminds her of fallen leaves and poems, like reading poems at a cafe
