[+ +] (plus plus) is the debut mini-album of South Korean girl group LOOΠΔ. It was released on August 20, 2018. It contains 6 tracks including the lead single "favOriTe" and the title track "Hi High" with the music video releasing the same day. It was later re-released as [X X] with six new tracks.

DescriptionEdit

‘+ +’ represents the ‘plus plus’ effect LOOΠΔ 1/3, ODD EYE CIRCLE, yyxy, and YeoJin gather to create. LOOΠΔ 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.
