She just got back from rehearsal - they ran through it twice actually, so she says she doesn't look great
They were busy since early today and she wondered if she could go live but the company decorated her room, and she told them that she'd like to go live for her birthday,
even though it's late (it's 11:45PM ish right now), she thought she would be doing it voice only but it's a video stream with the decorations
Today she went to another birthday cafe event early today, then was at rehearsal, then got here
What surprised Lip was balloons these days having lights inside
Q: What did she eat for her birthday?
Her mom sent her cake and food via delivery during their rehearsal, she shared with the members as well
She also has these things
the korean reads: "it's my birthday today"
She wanted to go to all the fan-run cafe events but they were all pretty far apart from one another so she didn't have time to go to them all, being busy with concert prep
She also has this cake - she will eat this cake tomorrow morning after waking up
So that she can be in good condition for the concert, this stream will be simple and short. She'll go to sleep and try to maintain her condition - she just wanted to go live while it was still her birthday
Yeah I'm already 24, everyone. It surprised me too.
Scared that anyone would get COVID, we even practiced with masks on. That was a little tiring, but safety first.
And next year I'm turning 25... It's already bewildering that I'm 24 now. I don't know what I'm saying right now, actually, today's just been so hectic. I think I'm just saying things.
Oh today I posted the cover, right? I wanted to do that for my birthday.
Story about that, I wanted the night sky to be the background, but the sunset was so late! So since 4, 5PM, we were waiting for the sunset, but we had to wait even longer, and every cut the sun was in a different spot so the brightness was different in all the shots.
So we decided to re-shoot the entire thing after the sun completely set.
I said that I wanted the night scenery, so we just did the whole thing, and filming that took a while, so thanks to the staff involved.
While prepping for the concert the cover was prepared in a bit of rush, so I'm thankful for all the Orbits saying they liked it. I wanted to give Orbits a gift, did you like it? (Passes mic to viewer)
So many people are wishing my happy birthday right now, it's so touching.
Last year we had this box, and I have it here.
I wanted to open this alone, actually, but Haseul and Yeojin asked if they could be on stream to help me for my stream today and I said yes, they're here now
Lip only has one chair so Yeojin will stand as maknae
Haseul will keep the mask on since she doesn't have lipstick on
It's the box from the Yeojin / Go Won / Lip live, the time capsule they made with letters to themselves a year from then
Photos from then
Lip will Go won's letter to her and not read it
Lip (Reading her letter): why did I write so much??
Lip: I wrote this so seriously??
Haseul: Okay filter it out then a little. Say what it's about
Lip asks for 3 seconds
Yeojin: I don't think I can read mine. I think I was out of my mind when I wrote this.
Haseul (pulling up the previous portrait vlive): Hey you're looking like this!
(They tell her that's the prev one, Haseul says she's bad with tech)
Lip thinks she never intended to share the letter, that's why she was so serious
She shares that she'd like to be with Orbits seeing each others' smiles when the situation gets better, she can't wait for another whole year
Yeojin says she wrote her letter for Lip, in addition to herself, she remembers how Go Won wrote stuff for her
Pic: Yeojin reading her letter with stuff like my queen lip whom I love [etc]
[Lip gives Yeojin extra credit]
Lip will give Go Won her letter later
[They quickly sing happy birthday even though it's past midnight]
They tell Lip to make a wish, she does, silently, and blows out the candles
[then pic]
Haseul: I thought by "make a wish" that I was supposed to give her a kiss!
They say they'll be showing amazing performances at the concert, so hopefully they can see the fans tomorrow
Haseul/Yeojin were worried about Lip dozing off during the stream and just being out of it in general so they offered to join this quick stream
Lip agreed, she felt pretty sleepy throughout the day today as well, and she was zoning out at various points throughout the day, considering she went to the cafe event earlier too
Ending stream:
all: "see you tomorrow!"
Haseul/Yeojin: "kim lip happy birthday!!"

Kim Youngdae's Fantastic Youngdaeland ft #ARTMS
(Kim Lip wasn't present due to losing her voice)
YD: As fans already know, ARTMS has members from LOONA, from 1/3 and OEC.
Other than that time we exchanged greetings, it's our first time meeting, right?
YD: Be honest - Did you know who Kim Youngdae was?
Jinsoul/Choerry: Yes
Choerry: You appear a lot in media and also fans mention you a lot too.
Jinsoul: and one time you promoted an OEC song on TV, my parents sent me a picture of that.
YD: Ah yes parents watch that show a lot. Differential Class. That episode was about K-culture. But at the end, I was asked to give 5 kpop recommendations, and I picked Sweet Crazy Love. Then the viewer forums had a huge response. Some were like "who the heck is that?" Since this is kind of a subculture. But then after hearing it, "that was amazing". Meanwhile fans were saying "Wow OEC coming up here!"
Jinsoul: I was proud at that moment.
YD: And on Night Radio with Pentagon, I had a special episode on LOONA. Recommending 10 of their best songs.
Haseul: What was the #1 song?
YD: It was SCL. 2 was Butterfly. I might be getting the two mixed up.
YD: I haven't missed a new song of yours, since ViViD.
He also mentions including LOONA in his book which included 10 kpop acts
Haseul says a fan gifted them this book before (she hasn't read it)
Haseul: The names on there are really amazing;
YD: Well BTS Blackpink Taemin Taeyeon IU Day6
Heejin: Us among those names...
YD: Are you embarrassed by chance?
Heejin asks about what attracted him to LOONA
Jinsoul: How'd you first hear about it?
YD: Well first the original plan was just so weird. So I was like who came up with this idea? And of course it was Jaden Jeong
The Big Issue Magazine #258 (ft. #LOONA Heejin & Hyunjin) making film
Issue #288*
Q: My charm?
Heejin: Lately I'm really liking the shape of my lips
Hyunjin: Lately I've really been liking the color of my eyes. They're a natural brown.
My TMI that the fans won't know about?
Heejin: Fans think that I like exercise and that I'm rather active, but I'm the type that doesn't leave the house. I really like staying in - I'm always in bed.
On today's episode of Entertainment Weekly Plus
The show brought in a lawyer and asked about the contract
Lawyer notes that the payout split is unlike typical contracts, noting that if the costs are 60% of the revenue, the artist cannot make any money
The investigative team called Blockberry Creative - when the contract was brought up, they simply said that Chuu and her parents understood the contract terms when signing
(The rest of the feature mostly just recaps details from the Dispatch release)
Noting that an economics Youtube channel (The Investing Worker) covered the contract the other day and pointed out how the term "revenue" and "profit" are very different but often used interchangeably in casual conversation, which is a point of confusion -
OSEN News: According to an official in the music industry, Blockberry Creative is aiming for a #LOONA comeback (specified, with 10 members) on Jan 3 entertain.naver.com/read?oid=109&a…
The article has just been revised to say 11 members
Article 2
Blockberry Creative told xsportsnews that the preparations for a LOONA comeback are underway, but the timing is undecided, and that they would make an announcement once the comeback schedule is confirmed entertain.naver.com/read?oid=311&a…
Girls Reverse Q&A (Rien)
[Caption: They're "extremely immersed" in their concepts]
Hi? I'm Rien
I heard you had a lot of questions for me?
I'll answer everything, just wait~
[1/...]
Q: Is there any life in Gliese 832c that exercises?
Mm, I was born alone so there was no other life there, but whenever I was bored I did exercise.
Q: Have you ever had a conversation with Chonky Cat?
Maybe it's because I didn't give her churu (cat treat) but she didn't really talk a lot with me.
So I'll have to bring more churu and try to get closer with her.
Q: Do you have any qualifications for someone becoming your butler?
I like butlers that don't bother me
Q: Your cat noises - are they natural talent, or did you practice?
I don't think this person knows me very well, but I "am" a cat.
