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.

The lyrics of Loona's song "Universe" describe a feeling of vastness and limitless possibility, as if our dreams and desires can be fulfilled if we only reach out and grab them. The singer invites us to close our eyes and imagine a world of open space, where anything is possible and our shared dreams can guide us to a better place. The repeated refrain of "make it happen to you" underscores this message, encouraging listeners to take action and make their dreams come true.
The lyrics also suggest a deep connection between the singer and another person, perhaps a romantic partner or close friend. They talk about moments of closeness and the feeling of being drawn together, as well as the desire to connect on a deeper level. The repeated reference to "our universe" suggests that they share a unique bond that transcends ordinary relationships and connects them to something greater than themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Universe" are an invitation to dream big and pursue our goals with passion and commitment, while finding meaning and connection in the relationships that matter most to us.

@user-in8xy8wd5b
Well i can accept if Haseul didn't got close up cam for a full 3:46 thats bcs she's on hiatus that time.
But, Go Won, she's literally standing on the stage, she's not a decoration nor statue, she's Princess after all and still didn't got much screen time.
@th3doorMatt
Overall the whole videography was terrible. The wide shots were meaningless without choreo. Given that no one member has a very long line, just sit on each while they sing.
If you don't want to zoom in on one directly, then at least frame 3 people simultaneously, but to show the entire stage at any given time is pointless for this video.
@jlcsr9163
I had to check if Go won was there didn't see her at all.
@bambuu_
this is one of their best songs, seriously
@mattlau95
I think in one of their group interviews Chuu mentioned this is one of the songs that really represents their group sound well or something!
