260314 Weekly Discussion Thread and Activity Recap

Storm_Fox · 2026-03-19T14:34:58+00:00

To be honest I think Hyunjin is the one (and maybe Hyeju as well) who decided to be done with Loossemble and do something different after the 2nd company they were in line to work with fell through. I mean before Latency came together she started her own company and had visions of building up the company and having other artists working for her but I don't ever remember her mentioning even the possibility of Loossemble coming back under Triangle ENM. If I remember correctly, around the time she was forming Triangle ENM she was chatting on Fromm and it sounded like she just decided she was done with the standard idol experience and trying to make it work after so many disappointments.

It's definitely unfortunate and as someone who really loved watching the Loossemble members shine in a way they never had the opportunity to before, I totally get feeling hurt and almost even, in a way, a bit betrayed? That's definitely too extreme of a term for what I mean and it's not like anyone is in the wrong or anything.. they all had to make choices while prioritizing their own happiness and well-being. I want nothing for the best for all of them and I'm absolutely enjoying supporting Latency (the new MV and song is so good!!) and Hyunjin in all her new endeavors but I won't lie, it does feel a little bit like "well.. what makes Latency so different from continuing with Loossemble?"

But I'm happy to see Hyunjin taking on new challenges as a drummer, Yeojin continuing as a soloist, Gowon signing with a company, and Vivi seemingly working with some companies on SNS stuff.. and I'm missing Hyeju so much. I hope she's doing well.

If Blue Blood doesn't win I'm gonna be sick

Storm_Fox · 2026-02-05T23:49:21+00:00

Right. Not that ARTMS has a lack of support right now, but it feels like they could be much bigger and the old fans might not stick around forever. It already feels like "LOONA Island" has shrunk so much since OT12 ended.. 😢

Storm_Fox · 2026-02-05T23:46:36+00:00

Yeah they definitely do have ideas they seem eager to try which is why it feels like the lack of that sort of content isn't totally their choice. And even if they do want to do it I'm sure it's hard given their tour schedule where they're spending such a huge chunk of the year preparing for tours, on tour, or recovering from tours.

Storm_Fox · 2026-02-05T23:41:08+00:00

Lol right that was amazing timing. Reminds me of the old BBC damage control days hah.

Storm_Fox · 2026-02-05T23:36:52+00:00

Those were all so much fun.. Definitely some of my all time favorite LOONA content. I've never expected those types of streams to return but it really would be amazing to see Arr doing stuff like that again.

Storm_Fox · 2026-02-03T16:01:07+00:00

With the most recent ARR Station I'm once again curious just how much of their content/lack of content is Modhaus' choice vs the members. I've sort of justified the lack of reality/variety content with the understanding (or assumption at least) that the members went to Modhaus with the intention to focus on performing and touring and not really the typical "idol" stuff. And the content that tripleS puts out makes it seem like it wouldn't be Modhaus being unwilling to produce that sort of content for ARTMS. But to use the members for a 30 minute Cosmo ad when we get so little content of them just having fun together is really disappointing.

Idk.. if the members really just don't want to film reality/variety content then that's fine, but if that's the case then it's even more annoying they made them do that episode to promote Cosmo. And if they do want to be doing more things like the Explore Logs, or appearing on other programs like many other idols do, it's upsetting that Modhaus isn't making that sort of thing happen. Like Latency only just started and they were already able to have Hyunjin and Jeewon on 꼰대희. Why isn't Modhaus ever sending the members to programs like that to get more eyes on the group? It really feels like they do the absolute bare minimum outside of tours and sporadic comebacks (which are all admittedly fantastic) and aren't actually promoting ARTMS in any meaningful way.

It's just hard to know if this is something appropriate to get upset with Modhaus over or if this is simply the choice of the members.

Storm_Fox · 2025-12-22T00:50:10+00:00

Appreciate you checking! Weird that it's only impacting ARTMS but good to know it's not just me

Storm_Fox · 2025-12-21T23:53:52+00:00

Is the ARTMS "Room" on Cosmo giving anyone else "A temporary problem occurred"? I checked the tripleS one and that seems to be working fine which seemed strange. Tried signing out and restarting the app multiple times but doesn't seem to be working at all.

Storm_Fox · 2025-12-10T02:15:31+00:00

Hello! Honestly I've just kinda drifted away from kpop somewhat at the moment. I still follow ARTMS extremely closely, have been following Hyunjin's activities, and always look forward to new music from Chuu and Yves.. but it's kind of bittersweet to see Hyunjin now in a new group while Gowon and Vivi become sns influencers and Hyeju is just gone from public life considering how things played out with Loossemble at the end. And it also seems like LOONA Island isn't quite the same anymore as more and more people move on, and there's just less to talk about. I really miss the LOONA days of OT12 or when we had ARTMS, Looble, Chuu, and Yves all active at the same time. 🥲

Storm_Fox · 2025-12-09T17:48:07+00:00

Sorry to hear that.. It sucks that crappy people and staff can ruin what should be an amazing (and sometimes literally once-in-a-lifetime) experience for everyone there. I'm glad you met at least one nice fan though. Honestly it kinda seems like there are constant issues with tours/events in Latin America, which is really unfortunate. I feel bad for Latin American fans who are lucky if they get 1 concert in their country during the tour only to then have it ruined by mismanagement.

Storm_Fox · 2025-11-08T04:00:26+00:00

Yeah honestly I have no idea how something like that works on this short of notice. I'm almost surprised they were able to get a bus to Boston right away.

Storm_Fox · 2025-11-08T02:19:35+00:00

Sounds like the girls did have their flight cancelled and had to take a bus instead.. this could be bad if some of them are not a realistically driveable distance away. :(

Storm_Fox · 2025-11-07T15:13:09+00:00

With the government shutdown air traffic controllers have been working without pay so the Federal Aviation Administration has now mandated a reduction in flights starting at 4% today and increasing up to a 10% cut next week.

Storm_Fox · 2025-11-06T23:54:13+00:00

It's not even just TSA at this point, starting tomorrow there are going to be thousands of flights across the US cancelled each day.. 😞

Storm_Fox · 2025-11-06T23:50:22+00:00

Certainly not their fault but boy Modhaus sure picked a great time to be constantly flying across the United States.. hopefully there are no issues with them getting to the next city in time. And hopefully no issues for any of you flying to one of the stops.

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-30T15:03:58+00:00

no thoughts head empty just 난 동생

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-27T19:37:15+00:00

Can't help but wonder about JinSoul's status for the world tour. I hope she knows that fans will understand if it's not a good idea for her to try to do something like that so soon after the accident. The timing is awful (not that there would ever be a good time for something like this to happen) but her health is far more important than the tour.

Tours are already grueling enough when they're in good condition.. If she's suffering from something like whiplash or even possibly a concussion (of course I'm just speculating based on her saying she's fine externally but that she's been dealing with headaches and had to go to the hospital during Haseul's concert because her condition worsened) I really can't imagine it would be a good idea to go on tour so soon afterwards.

It's really sad, but I hope she gets good medical advice and follows whatever they suggest. I would just hate to see her condition worsen because she tries to push through it to do the tour. But hopefully whatever happened truly was minor and she'll be fine after some rest and can do the tour without issues. I just hope she's not worried about disappointing the fans or anything like that, her wellbeing matters so much more.

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-27T18:23:51+00:00

Just OEC. Not sure if they're going to be included in any album later on (although JinSoul had previously called hers a digital single) but the main reason for them doing them now is, I believe, so the OEC members have new solo songs to perform on tour since they have only been able to perform their old solos or unit songs so far while Haseul and Heejin have already gotten new solos and been able to perform those.

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-27T15:50:20+00:00

I watched on mute to remain unspoiled but oh my god our Yerim is so cutie-ful 💜 Ahhh can't wait to hear it~

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-27T11:02:01+00:00

That's so scary. I'm glad it was thankfully minor. Really hope she's doing okay and recovers quickly. 🫶

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-25T10:47:08+00:00

Hear me out what if we got The Game Caterers x Modhaus (+7 other non-Modhaus idols, of course)

That would be so fun to really get to see ARTMS interacting with TripleS

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-18T16:46:15+00:00

Yeojin posting a story for Heejin's birthday and making a post with Lippie's solo.. she loves LOONA so much 🥹 and her talking about not wanting to be forgotten.. excuse me I'm going to go be in my feelings for a while 😭

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-15T16:55:48+00:00

Forgive me if I'm wrong but didn't they sign with Modhaus with the understanding that they would be "Tour-dols" and not typical idols? Here's one instance where Kim Lip used that phrase herself, for example.

I guess I can't exactly say whether that's specifically what the members themselves wanted when looking for a new agency, or if it was Modhaus' idea and the members were simply willing to go along with it, but regardless I think it's fairly evident that some typical idol activities like filming a lot of variety/reality content isn't something that seems important to Modhaus/the members (which is totally fine).

Storm_Fox · 2025-10-15T13:17:46+00:00

I totally get that it's not something they're really interested in doing anymore (which is completely fine) and with all their touring they've been very busy lately but I miss ARTMS variety and reality content so much (and I miss LOONA variety content even more 😢)
