[LIVE] Weekly Idol w/ #LOONA livestream on ALL THE K-POP Youtube
Hosts congratulate LOONA on their performance in Queendom2, and celebrate Jinsoul's birthday (day of recording)
Jinsoul wishes the best for LOONA
Jinsoul isn't surprised by them wishing them happy birthday, but is surprised by the cake; she wrote in her Weekly Idol profile that something she wanted to do on Weekly Idol was "a birthday party for me,,?"
Here Heejin shows a massage technique she uses (for the members sometimes)
Chuu: this feels soo good
(lWhen asked about how it feels)
Chuu: I always get this massage from Heejin and it feels so good, even better than going to a place to get one done.
[Hye in charge of song explanations, explains the Flip That]
[Vivi explains highlight choreo]
Lots of things get flipped in the choreo, things like this, that, and even an hourglass.
Fan Q: Pros/cons of living alone now?
Olivia Hye:
Pro: Whenever I want to sleep I can turn off the lights, or turn them on whenever
Con: I don't think there are any
Yeojin goes to Go Won's place often
And Go Won just enters the passcode to Yves' place
Host: Yves, do you like that?
Yves: ...
Yeojin: She'll just be asleep!
Yves makes a lot of food whenever she cooks, so she often has food left over, so she'll call the others to come eat all the extra food, and go to sleep
Any QD2 behind-the-scenes stories?
Haseul's shoulder wasn't doing great in QD2 so it was hard to change outfits, and Olivia Hye / Yeojin helped her change into outfits
Host: Hyeju doesn't seem to remember this?
Hye: I don't remember such small kind actions
Others: ehhh
Host: What made you help her out?
Hye: We just needed to move quickly
Host: She's realistic!
Anything else?
Hye: After QD2 finals, unnie cried after leaving the stage. (This was Jinsoul)
Jinsoul says she was nervous going onstage since it had been a while
Host wonders if it was due to feeling frustrated after messing up on choreo or something (it was)
Olivia Hye was next to her, saying things like "no it's fine, really"
Olivia Hye: No but she was exaggerating way too much, like "we got second because of me"
Telling each other good things after QD2:
Haseul to Choerry: You worked hard to always be so bright during QD2 [MCs surprised by Choerry's huge reaction]
Chuu to Jinsoul: Even if you make mistakes, you're pretty and do well, we got second because of you!
Jinsoul: ?
Chuu: As in we went UP because of her! In a good way!!
Yves to Vivi:
You worked so hard during QD2, and we did lots of choreo videos... Whenever you make a mistake, I hope you can just tell us right away. Because then we don't have to re-record the whole thing
Any other habits of members?
Heejin: when Hyunjin feels frustrated or wants to go home quick, she exhales sharply through her nose, there's an emotion to it.
[MCs wonder if she was doing that at the start of the recording today]
Next: Yves' Taemin - Advice cover, and Chuu showing the twerking that she learned from Holybang
Yeojin (seeing chuu): she looks like a welsh corgi
Who's the most flexible? They say it's either Vivi vs Olivia Hye
Vivi says it's just her arms
Hyunjin also did some modern dance, (they hear a cracking noise when she does this move)
Hyunjin says that Choerry's also flexible
How come? Choerry's just in comfy pants today
[They play limbo, then immediately call out Hyunjin's nonstandard way of getting under it]
Hyunjin/Choerry fail but
[Vivi/Hyeju set a limbo record on the show together]
[As Vivi and Olivia Hye decide whether or not to go even further Haseul randomly tries herself]
[Most flexible duo's new record]
Hye: I think we were able to do it because we did it together
They talk about how Lip is like a kid sometimes - hitting people randomly, Haseul says Lip complains about her wrist hurting but she does things in a way that makes it inevitably hurt like picking things up like this (pic), or brushing her teeth in a strange way
Q: Who cares for Lip the kid then?
They all do so it's hard to pick but the unnies do a lot, like Vivi/Jinsoul help me out mentally,
and Haseul/Yves are always there to hear out my concerns
Who's the most annoying in the group (lighthearted)
Go Won
Heejin/Chuu mention her eyebrows
Yves talks about when they dropped honorifics w/ each other; she noted Go Won was quick to do so, so Go Won said then, "? you told me to"
+ Reads a passage (in an annoying way)
This one's about the nickname "Yeobovia Hye" (roughly spousevia hye)
Hyeju to read a phrase out loud here to get fans' hearts fluttering, "unnie (referring to herself in third person) [dressed/did my makeup] well today because I wanted to see you" - and no one can stand it
Three covers:
SNSD Into the New World
Jessi ZOOM
Suju Sorry Sorry (noting MC Eunhyuk)
Random Play Dance
At some point, Tell Me Now comes up so everyone leaves to let them do their stage but turns out that they all have to participate to fit the vibe (so Yeojin, who stayed onstage, insists that she was right for that)
Thoughts on today's recording
Yeojin says today was a special time, she'll write about this in her diary
Heejin: I missed this all-white background so much, I had a lot of fun today and am so satisfied.
Yves: (promotes the album, with LOONA doing a fresh concept, watch&stream)
Go Won: Orbits always wanted us to appear on Weekly Idol during promotions, "Orbits~ We went on Weekly Idol~"
MCs hope that LOONA can "flip the music scene upside down" with their cb, to wrap up the ep

#ARTMS media showcase thread
#Icarus MV length: ~15min
Heejin avoided going into details on the MV: "we don't want fans missing any bigger interpretation or message because of how we saw it and hope that new interpretations will come as this is an MV we want to keep rewatching."
m.entertain.naver.com/home/article/4…
Jinsoul: "When we got the storyboard they[Digipedi] had prepared over 80 pages, it almost felt like a class lecture going through it." It was fun to analyze it too: no group scenes, focus on the individual ones, I wondered about the content of the MV.
Heejin: "Digipedi director-nims really were accepting of any opinions we had and we had many meetings as well, so we saw a lot of rough drafts. Because of how long it is, it's not necessarily easy to rewatch, but I liked it so much that I kept going over it again."
Jinsoul: "The lyrics about overcoming wounds and being reborn - they resemble ourselves"
In terms of hopes for these activities, she hopes to rise like in the lyrics of the new song, and get a music show win.
Kim Lip also would like a music show win as ARTMS, and added, "ARTMS is being called tour-dols [tour+idols], I hope to go on many more tours and show ARTMS to the world."
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.
