Lee Jae-hoon, Moon Ye-bin, intern reporter = “Loona (Lee Dal-so) is not a disbanded group, so I want to leave the possibility very open for this part. I’m a bit cautious, but I’m keeping the possibility open.” (Kim Lip)<\/p>\n
Unit ‘Odd Eye Circle’ (ODD EYE CIRCLE, OEC, Oh Ah-seo), made up of Jinsol, Choerry, and Kim Lip from the group ‘Loona’, released a new mini-album ‘Version Up’ at 6:00 pm on the 12th, after about 6 years. release<\/p>\n
In particular, it is an album that makes Jinsoul, Choiri, and Kim Lip start a new journey by building a new nest in Mode House after terminating their exclusive contracts with Loona’s agency, Blockberry Creative. <\/p>\n
At the ‘Version Up’ media showcase held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Seoul, before the release of the album, Kim Lip said, “Thank you for the interest from many people, and I think it will be an album that fans who have waited for a long time can enjoy.” <\/p>\n
All 12 LOO\u03a0\u0394 members left Blockberry, the agency that discovered them through winning an application for injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contract. Some members are tied to the same agency, but they are scattered. <\/p>\n
Loona, who made their official debut in August 2018, has built up more recognition abroad than in Korea, ranking 112th on the US Billboard’s main album chart “Billboard 200,” which is unusual for a girl group that is not affiliated with a large agency. Prior to \u201cFifty Fifty\u201d in \u201cCupid,\u201d it is known as the original \u201cmiracle of small and medium-sized idols (small and medium agency idols).\u201d <\/p>\n
They also went on their first world tour after winning runner-up on Mnet’s ‘Queendom 2’ two years ago. However, it is known that Blockberry has been experiencing financial difficulties and has been in conflict with the members in the process. In the end, the members took issue with unfair contracts and filed a lawsuit against Blockberry for an exclusive contract dispute and won the case. After that, weight was put on the theory that the team disbanded naturally, but Kim Lip brought up the possibility that they could work together. However, as Blockberry holds the trademark for Loona’s team name, it is unclear whether it will be possible to promote under this team name.

Kim Lip smiled, “For now, I think a lot of us have been ‘versioned up’. It seems that our mature appearance and skills have improved a bit, and it seems that our cleverness in answering like this has also been upgraded.” “To be honest, it was my first comeback after the dispute, so I was very nervous and worried, but I am so grateful that I can stand on stage again like this. I will do my best to promote beautifully.” <\/p>\n
The album contained six songs. The title song ‘AIR FORCE ONE’ is of the jersey club genre. I drew the girls’ new steps in a healthy way. The mood to take off the canvas sneakers that were the symbol of the Odd Eye Circle and put on new shoes and the feeling of looking down from the sky like Air Force One, the presidential plane, are expressed in a twofold way. G.high, who made Loona’s ‘Butterfly’ and ‘Uncover’, was in charge of producing. Kim Lip contributed to the lyrics. Kim Lip said, “Because I have a ‘will’ in writing lyrics, so I directly contacted the representative saying, ‘I want to try it’. He readily said, ‘Oh, then you can try it’, so I quickly wrote it.” <\/p>\n
In addition, the album includes the opening track ‘Wait for you?’ to the fandom ‘Obit’, ‘Je Ne Sais Quoi’ with the meaning of being indescribably good, and ‘Lucid’ with a message to the fans. , ‘Love Me Like’, a sweet confession, and ‘My Secret Playlist’, a secret playlist. <\/p>\n
Lip Kim said, “I think it will be the most Odd Eye Circle-like album. People who have loved our genre, which is not like the existing K-pop, will like it.” \u201cIt was a variety of genres, and our world view was a story that we made together with our fans and the public, and that is our style,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
Jinsoul said, “As much time has passed since debuting as Odd Eye Circle, I think I have accumulated a lot of experience and matured a lot. It’s the same visually. I feel a sense of responsibility and pressure to show a more mature image.” Above all, Kim Lip requested, “If we were just a unit that flowed into Loona 7 years ago, I would be grateful if you look at it as a ‘complete unit’.” <\/p>\n
She is still on good terms with the other members of Loona. Jinsoul said, \u201cUsually (members Dalso Lee) cheer us on a lot, but we got a lot of calls from the time the teaser photo came out. They said, \u2018You did a good job monitoring\u2019 and \u2018They filmed so coolly\u2019\u201d, he thanked.

Jeong Byeong-gi (Jaden Jeong), the CEO of Mode House, where the girl group ‘tripleS’ belongs, also has a relationship with the members of Loona. They previously worked in the A&R department of Blockberry Creative, their former agency.<\/p>\n
Odd Eye Circle members were also included in Project Artemis (ARTMS) presented by Mode House. Heejin and Haseul, also from Loona, also joined the project. This team is meeting fans with its own content ‘Exploration Journal’. Odd Eye Circle is the first runner of Artemis. <\/p>\n
Jinsoul said, “Although not all 5 members of Artemis came out together, as the first runners, the CEO believed in us.” And “Thanks to Heejin and Haseul’s diligent support, I prepared very happily. In fact, I think Odd Eye Circle’s unit receives a lot of evaluations for its musicality. I shared a lot of opinions with the CEO about that part, and I was really passionate about it. I did my best,” he said with pride. <\/p>\n
Odd Eye Circle will hold a showcase to commemorate the release of ‘Version Up’ against Orbit at Yes24 Live Hall at 8:00 pm on the same day. This month, he will focus on domestic activities, such as opening a daily cafe where he can meet fans face-to-face.
