1) LOONA, sometimes stylized as LOOΠΔ (Hangul: 이달의 소녀; lit. Girl of the Month) is a 12 membered South Korean girl group formerly under BlockBerryCreative, a subsidiary of Polaris Entertainment. The group is currently on hiatus as a result of all 12 members winning their contract termination lawsuits, and all (aside from Yves and Chuu who are pursuing a solo career) have spread across four different companies at the time of writing this.
Each individual member released a single album up until the group's official debut. A new member was introduced each month. Prior to debuting, the members also promoted in sub-units, each with their own defined concept.
On August 7, 2018, after an eighteen-month-long project to introduce the individual members, BlockBerryCreative released "favOriTe" as a pre-release to their upcoming debut album. A week later, on August 15, the tracklist for the album was released and the album was scheduled for August 20. The album was released as [+ +] and the title track chosen for the mini was "Hi High". The mini was positively received, selling over 50,000 copies, the second-best-selling album by a debuting girl group that year, and debuting at #2 on the Gaon Album Chart.
On the 25th of November, 2022, member Chuu was removed.
On the 13th of January, 2023, members Jin Soul, Kim Lip, Hee Jin and Choerry won a lawsuit against their agency BlockBerry Creative to terminate their exclusive contract.

On the 16th of June, 2023, members Ha Seul, Yeo Jin Yves, Go Won and Hye Ju (formerly known as Olivia Hye) won their cases for contract termination. All 12 members have officially left BlockBerry Creative.

The lyrics to Loona's song Rakatakata express an invitation to dance to the rhythm of the song from Miami to Rio and from Saint Tropez to Ibiza. The song starts with the line "Vamos al ritmo," which translates to "let's go to the rhythm," setting the tone for a lively and upbeat dance track. The chorus is made up of the repetitive phrase "Rakatakata (oh oh oh)" which serves as a call to action to dance, reinforcing the song's upbeat nature.
The chorus is then followed by the lyrics "Un Rayo de Sol (oh oh oh) me _ Un Rayo de Sol (oh oh oh) a mi corazon," which translates to "A ray of sunshine (oh oh oh) to me, a ray of sunshine (oh oh oh) to my heart." This can be interpreted as finding joy and happiness through dance and the connection it brings. The song continues to invite the listener to join in on the dance floor, suggesting various destinations for the dance party, including Costa Rica and Santa Domingo.
