Description[]

Album[]

[+ +] represents the “plus plus” effect LOOΠΔ 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE, yyxy, and YeoJin gather to create.

LOOПA was born in its own universe with three uniquely structured teams. In other words, it was not designed as a group diving up into three units, but three teams were built to create one universe.

LOOΠΔ 1/3 is a combination of girls present on planet earth. These girls portray the most realistic and practical sceneries thatcan easily be found on the streets or in school. HeeJin, HyunJin, HaSeul and ViVi start their stories in France, Japan, Iceland, and Hong Kong to become unified as one.

LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE places itself in between the earth and the cosmos. The beginning of ODD EYE CIRCLE was by looking at three moons (ODD). Mutative, or varietal, girls gather to form the ODD EYE CIRCLE, and show themselves by taking control in love relationships instead of waiting passively.

LOOΠΔ / yyxy was also known as ‘Edenism’ as it was placed beyond the earth of 1/3 and the middle earth of ODD EYE CIRCLE, in the place where we call ‘Utopia’. But, the girls of Eden decide to deny the rules of Eden to venture off on a forbidden quest to find their identities. The emotions of each girls, faith, hope, love, and anger gather to form a being named yyxy.

LOOΠΔ, building LOOΠΔverse with belief and certainty, finally gathers all twelve members and stands on their first stepping stone.[2]

[+ +]는 이달의 소녀 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE, yyxy 그리고 여진이 모여 플러스 플러스의 효과를 발휘한다는 의미를 지녔다.

처음부터 이달의 소녀는 한 세계관 안에 세 개의 독자적인 팀 구조를 가지고 탄생했다. 즉, 하나의 팀이 세 개의 유닛으로 쪼개지는 것이 아니라, 세 개의 팀이 하나의 세계를 만드는 구조이다.

이달의 소녀 1/3은 이 지구에 살고 있는 현실적인 소녀들의 조합이다. 이 소녀들은 가장 현실적인 모습으로 거리에서, 학교에서 마주칠 수 있을 법한 현실 속의 이야기들을 담고 있다. 그래서 희진과 현진, 하슬과 비비는 프랑스와 일본, 아이슬란드와 홍콩이라는 지구에서 출발하여 서로를 결합한다.

이달의 소녀 ODD EYE CIRCLE은 지구와 우주 그 중간계에 위치한다. 그래서 ODD EYE CIRCLE의 등장은 세 개의 달(ODD)을 바라보며 시작되었다. 뮤턴트 혹은 변종의 소녀들이 모인 ODD EYE CIRCLE은 사랑을 기다리기보다는 쟁취하며 자신있게 드러낸다.

이달의 소녀 yyxy는 에덴이즘이라는 별칭으로 불리웠을 만큼1/3의 지구, ODD EYE CIRCLE의 중간계. 그 위의 에덴이라는 우리가 알고 있는 이상향의 공간에 존재하는 소녀들이다. 하지만 그 에덴의 소녀들은 금기를 거부하고 자신만의 자아를 찾는 모험을 떠난다. 그리고 그 소녀들은 믿음(faith), 소망(hope), 사랑(love), 분노(anger)라는 각자마다의 감정이 모여 하나의 yyxy라는 존재가 된다.

흔들림 없이 LOONAverse를 만들어갔던 이달의 소녀가 드디어12명의 멤버를 모으고 첫 번째 도약의 발판 위에 올라섰다.[3]
