the mini-album is up for pre-order on ktown4u, kpopmart and other sites!



"love4eva" has 4 versions, only difference being the dance break.

People who purchase the normal edition each get a version of the song with 1 of the 3 different dance breaks – it's randomized.

The limited edition of the album has "love4eva" with another dance break of its own.

new group picture!

last update before the mini-album and the MV are released:

BBC posted pictures describing each track from the release, and on "one way" they explained it was a ballad that was being kept for their May 2019 release, "LOONA the ballad"! seems like they have everything well planned for the group. can't wait for it!

Pitchfork reviewed and praised love4eva!

https://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks...4eva-ft-grimes

Quote:
On “love4eva,” new sub-group Loona yyxy teams up with Grimes to tap into a bright strain of K-pop that brings to mind the late 2000s and early ’10s music of groups like Girls’ Generation and After School. The song starts with a spoken-word intro by Grimes, with her treated vocals recalling the slightly creepy tones of ASMR tutorials, before blooming into a light, synth-driven confection, powered by zippy keys and iridescent-sounding electronics produced by E-Tribe and BADD.

Loona yyxy’s four members are vocally dexterous amid those textures, with additional harmonies provided by Grimes. Lyrics, sung almost entirely in Korean, capture the furtive thrill of dating in the social media age. “I’ll peek at your timeline and check your story,” sings Chuu, coyly, as sounds bleep and whirr. “You won’t know that you’re my crush.” In the chorus, the members unite to sing starry-eyed declarations—“From now on, I only see you, love4eva”—before an intense EDM breakdown pitch-shifts their vocals and splinters them to shards. The result is an addictive song that honors K-pop signatures while offering a new point of view on tried-and-tested sounds. This week, monolithic Korean boy band BTS earned the No. 1 album in the U.S., indicating that Western ears are opening up to K-pop as never before. “Love4eva” couldn’t have come at a better moment.
queens!

Line & Up happened, it was a showcase, like everyone thought. Performed songs were:

OEC:
Sweet Crazy Love
Girl Front
Uncover

1/3:
Love & Live Remix (but with HyunJin instead of Choerry)
Sonatine

YeoJin:
Kiss Later

HeeJin:
ViViD

yyxy:
love4eva
frozen

they had MCs in between songs for every unit and YeoJin. then they all took the stage as the OT12 to perform a dance break.



they shared some thoughts on the journey until now and future of the group and then they took a picture with the fans and waved their goodbyes.



they shared their first selfie as the whole group:



and love4eva reached 1M views already! only 4 days after the release. a new record for Loona!

I'll probably stop updating this thread because it's borderline spam at this point and I don't like talking to myself that much, lol. I'll keep on updating the discography thread whenever they release something.

^ I would say a lot of people care about them, but brazilians are always more passionated than the other fanbases. I just hope they won't jump ship once the OT12 debuts like they did with KARD.

I'm not really sure if I liked yyxy's releases, tbh :/ The MV is pretty, but I was expecting more to the plot and the choereography is nothing outstanding either. And from the bsides I just got into rendezvous 18.6y Maybe after some time I'll get into the songs, or with the repackage, who knows...

The uniform looks so heavenly in white, and I'm really impressed with their stage presence. Made me enjoy the song a bit more <3

the choreography is so fast paced at some points and you could even hear them singing live behind the backing track! it must be very hard to do both with those jumpy moves. I love their stage presence.
