YD: Interests outside of music? Haseul mentioned films.
Haseul: I wanted to learn video production as well. I want to write scenarios too, I watch a lot of indie films, and if I can't interpret something, I'll re-watch it until I can. And I think you should watch films in theaters - I don't like eating popcorn either. That's why I don't like watching movies with others. Hearing them go through the popcorn distracts me. So even if I go with my mom I'll sit separately from her!
Haseul: I was proud of this at LOONA's debut showcase, we got so many questions about the lore.
Jinsoul: oh yeah
Haseul: There weren't really many groups with developed lore like that at the time. So it wasn't like "what is LOONA's lore?", it was more like "what do you mean by lore?"
But then lore became more central in kpop.
So I felt like "huh are we forerunnersin that front?"
YD: You are. And with lore, there's simple ones and complicated ones. But the way LOONA does it, with colors, or musical style, then as stories in the MVs, separate things combining, making new things, I don't think anything's been like that. So I think LOONA's the only group with an actual universe like that.
Heejin: Today's really fun...
Jinsoul: As you've known of us since the start.
YD: As a kpop fan it feels like I've just spent my time with you all. Since 2016, 8 years?
Jinsoul: 8 years...
YD: Did it hit you just now?
Jinsoul: Since we hadn't really been intensely active the whole time
YD: There were breaks.
Jinsoul: Yes. So whenever I go onstage, it does feel new. But, when I feel like I've gained years on my career, that comes from teamwork, and it feels like our fans are tightly knit as well. The fans have also gained years of experience.
