Fans Are Ecstatic At The Latest Updates For Heejin, Kim Lip JinSoul, And Choerry, Believing They Might Hint At LOONA’s Possible Future
After the members of LOONA filed an injunction to suspend their contracts with BlockBerry Creative, fans were worried about what the future would hold for the group.
Chuu, who was kicked out of LOONA in November 2022, leading to her members’ subsequent attempts at contract termination, has continued to have a packed schedule.
Meanwhile, multiple members of LOONA lost their court cases and are still signed with BlockBerry Creative.
But four former members, Heejin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry, recently signed an exclusive contract with a new agency, ModHaus.
The CEO of ModHaus, Jaden Jeong, has worked with LOONA in the past, having served as an employee under BlockBerry Creative. According to the CEO, he continued to maintain a relationship with the members of LOONA after he left BlockBerry Creative, and Heejin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry came to him asking for advice in finding a new agency.
At the time, the future did not necessarily mean [a] future with ModHaus. My intention was to provide them with my personal advice in choosing the most suitable management company for them. However, as our conversation progressed, it became clear that there was potential for them to continue their careers with ModHaus.

Since the four signed with a new company, there has been talk from netizens of the idols joining the agency’s other group, TripleS. However, Jaden Jeong was quick to put these rumors to rest.
It appears that the speculation will remain just that, with Jeong describing them as “sister groups,” each with their own “unique worldview.”

Another thought that LOONA fans have voiced is that the sub-unit Odd Eye Circle might return. And while Jaden Jeong did not confirm nor deny this hope, he did suggest that the four idols “will continue the identity of LOONA.”
And, perhaps most importantly for fans, Jaden Jeong assured that the four artists are already working on new music that fans can look forward to.
We already started recording. It felt refreshing to see the Odd Eye Circle members again in the recording studio after such a long time.

Fans can further look forward to their upcoming activities, as they have already launched an official social media account, which is calling their current activities the Artemis Strategy (or ARTMS) despite that not being the group’s official name.
ARTMS is not a name of a new group.
It’s a story about the amazing strategies and plans of the girls to get to the moon.

Fans were excited by the news, especially that the members were seemingly able to keep their stage names.

Although some fans voiced their concerns that it might be an elaborate April Fool’s Day prank.

But given the members area already following the account, it seems legitimate.

And, perhaps most notably, fans discovered that there were twelve moons, like the original twelve members of LOONA, in the image. Along with the text that these four idols “will start this story,” meaning that more could be continuing it in the future.
THERES 12 MOONS GUYSSS
