Producing LOONA Cost Nearly ₩10 Billion KRW, Here’s Where Most Of That Money Went
On March 19, 2020, LOONA guested on MBC FM4U‘s radio program Ji Suk Jin’s 2 O’clock Date and confessed that the members love to eat.
When the DJ, Ji Suk Jin, brought up the fact that LOONA’s debut project cost approximately 9.9 billion won ($8.75 USD), Chuu added that most of the cost was probably spent on food.

The DJ then asked whether the Loona members tended to eat a lot. Chuu explained exactly how much they could eat:
We can eat 1 chicken per person in addition to tteokbokki (stir-fried rice cake).

She added that the members once went to a Korean barbecue restaurant before their debut and ate a whopping 40 portions among the 12 members!
It’s truly amazing how they can keep their lean figures with such a big appetite!
At the time, LOONA took over the charts in the US with their EP [X X], selling over 2,000 copies in the US during the first week and becoming the highest debut on Billboard’s World Albums chart at #4.
LOONA have since made another comeback with [#] and won their first ever music show trophy.
