#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."

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."

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.

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.

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)

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

#LOONA Heejin Interview #2

It's your first solo song after so long since your debut single! If you could express how you feel in 5 words?
- My voice is the best!
instagram.com/p/Cf6Au12LWZW/
(1/5) When you got the offer to remake H:SEAN - Honestly, what thoughts did you have?
- When I first heard this song, I thought, "wow I have to do this." I think I looked forward to it a lot as it was an R&B/soul genre song with a vibe that I really wanted to try.

[LIVE] #LOONA Jinsoul is live on VLIVE
vlive.tv/post/0-29825091 Actually, I fell asleep earlier so I couldn't be in the vlive, right? So, actually, if I was up, I could've done that, so I came here since I was sorry that I wasn't there earlier. But I'm only going to be here for around 30 minutes.

[LIVE] #LOONA Heejin is live on VLIVE

vlive.tv/post/0-29824342 The weather's so hot. And it's humid, humid.

Everyone, it's been a while! You're a little surprised that I'm not the Heejin you normally see right? Actually I worried a lot about doing this with no makeup, [but the lighting helps I guess].
