They do brief self individual intros, some with representative animals

The host points out how many fans abroad there are in chat - points out one chat message telling them not to be nervous

Host references "This is such a gift!" (chuu quote)

Host asks them how they feel about debuting in JP
Yeojin wonders if it's real life or a dream, hopes fans like their JP release
Go Won says it was fun to do a new concept with the JP debut

Hyunjin Heejin and Haseul mention how they're like dokidoki (hearts thumping hard)
Jinsoul notes how the jp fans they had before, and how glad she is to be able to do a JP release now
Choerry still can't believe it yet, but she's happy to be able to debut with hula hoop

Vivi's also happy, esp. seeing all the chat come up from orbits

Q: LOONA's unique charms?
Vivi brings up the loonaverse
Olivia Hye mentions how unique each member is, that they all have their unique characters, which will make you want to know more about them

Who's the most "loonaverse-y", who stands out the most?
(They point at each other)
Q: Some pointed to Vivi, why did they point to her?
(They say that she's a robot in the loonaverse)
host: oh back in the predebut days right?

Haseul on why she picked Kim Lip, says the storyline seems to progress whenever she's around

Host says that the PTT MV was very cool
Host: Who goes their own way, without much regard for what others think?
(they point to each other)
Host: So Hyunjin? Reason for Hyunjin?
Yves: she's very 4D (i.e. "random"), she appears in unexpected places when we have to go look for her

[Amusing story about members not being able to find Hyunjin but she was in the changing room]
And why did people point at Olivia hye?
Choerry says she says what's on her mind
Hyunjin: even from her MV where she says "love myself", I think her image leaned that way from the start.

Host reading positive comments (cute, jinsoul's hair looks pretty, hope chuu's not tired she's so busy, etc)

[They play a HULA HOOP preview]

Yves mentions recording PTT japanese version and how the audio director helped her out with the pronunciation when recording her translated part, she had to practice a certain phrase 100 times or so before getting it down

How do you study Japanese?
Hyunjin says before they had lessons with a teacher but these days since their schedules are harder to align as a group, they do studying on their own, lots of looking things up

Brief song explanation from Go won: HULA HOOP is an "exciting" song, and the chorus is addictive, after you listen to it just once

Jinsoul says she's a little nervous to reveal the performance for the first time but there are small spoilers so please look forward to it

[They show a few seconds of the dance for HULA HOOP to the music]

It hasn't been long since they filmed the MV
(But filming has been completed)

[STARSEED music preview]

There's a phrase in korean in addition to the japanese (joayo, or "i like [it]"), which the host points out as very cute - it's Yeojin's part, which she does for a sec
