Description[]
LOOΠΔ is a K-pop group building its own unique universe.
The story of LOOΠΔ started with its first girl, HeeJin. Then HyunJin, a close friend and a schoolmate of HeeJin, joined LOOΠΔ. HaSeul, who always seems to cause rain wherever she goes, and the youngest member YeoJin, who hops around everywhere like a noisy frog joined along. An android from Hong Kong, ViVi was introduced to complete LOOΠΔ’s first milestone, LOOΠΔ 1/3. As they pass through the endless forest created with Love&Live and Love&Evil, LOOΠΔ’s universe kept on expanding.
Each girl meets another girl like building ‘blocks’ stacking, and the encounters of each girl creates new synergies to bear ‘berries’.
The structure built by these young innocent girls eclipsed with Kim Lip’s appearance to show a different side of what they had built.
Now, the introduction of a new girl draws an even bigger circle now.
JinSoul is the girl of this month.
Now with its progress just over half way, the universe of LOOΠΔ strengthens more and more to show its real potential. Kim Lip, JinSoul, and the next girl to come will form a new unit to add colors very different from what LOOΠΔ 1/3 has brought.
As it was mentioned in LOOΠΔ TV, about 50 trainees are training hard under the name of ‘LOOΠΔTIOΠ’ as candidates for the last four slots in the third unit of LOOΠΔ, which will expand the universe with its whole new spectrum once again.[1]
‘이달의 소녀’는 세계관을 만들어가는 그룹이다.
첫 번째 소녀 ‘희진’을 시작으로, ‘희진’과 실제로 같은 학교, 같은 나이의 절친한 친구 ‘현진’의 등장. 그리고 언제나 비를 몰고 다니는 소녀 ‘하슬’, 개구리처럼 늘 공간을 뛰어다니며 쉴 새 없이 말을 쏟아내는 막내 ‘여진’. 홍콩에서 온 안드로이드 ‘비비’의 등장으로 ‘이달의 소녀 1/3’이라는 출발점을 달리고, Love&Live와 Love&Evil의 뫼비우스의 숲을 지나는 동안 ‘이달의 소녀’ 세계관은 점점 넓어져만 갔다.
소녀와 소녀가 서로 만나고, 블록(Block)을 쌓듯이 소녀와 소녀의 만남은 새로운 형태를 이뤄나가고 열매(Berry)를 맺는다.
마냥 어리고, 순수하기만 하던 소녀들의 체계는 Lip|김립의 “Eclipse”로 기존 세계관과 개기일식 한다. 그리고 여기 새로운 소녀의 등장은 더 큰 원을 만들어 낸다.
이달의 소녀 ‘진솔’.
이제 절반을 넘어선 ‘이달의 소녀’의 세계관은 점점 더 튼튼하게 힘을 발휘할 것이고 김립-진솔-새로운 소녀의 조합으로 이루어질 새로운 유닛은 이달의 소녀 1/3과는 완전 다른 색깔로 색을 물들여 간다.
또한 이달의 소녀 탐구에서 이미 공개되었듯 현재 50명 정도의 인원이 열심히 지하 연습실에서 준비하고 있는 “이달의 소녀단”중 선택될 또 다른 4명의 유닛은 ‘이달의 소녀 1/3’과 ‘김립’, ‘진솔’의 유닛과는 완전히 또 다른 색깔의 음악으로 ‘이달의 소녀’를 넓혀갈 예정이다.[2]
