about loona

my journey with loona

i found loona in february 2018 when i was abt 15 yrs old, in between gowon and hyeju's debuts. i remember binging all of the loona tvs at the time in the car ride on the way to visit my family in florida, which is a long way from nebraska (lol). i remember falling in love with each of the members that day and listening to their whole discography on repeat. i was there for yyxys debut and was right there with all the theorybits writing thinkpieces on what heejins appearance in the egoist mv could possible mean. i was there for when favorite was released, and then hi high and eventually butterfly. loona was the first gorup i truly fell in love with and i'll forever hold them in my heart. when they went on tour in 2022, you bet i was in that ticketmaster queue securing pit even thoguh i hadnt really kept up with kpop since 2020. when i refound kpop because of their tour in 2022, i found my way home. i had been so lost for those two years, not really havinga space for myself, just trying to fit into spaces i thought i should be in. returning home to kpop was the best choice of my life, even if it meant i was that much more devastated when chuu left in november of that year. i ended up getting a loona tattoo to commemorate the mark they left on me, 12 butterflies in each members color wrapping around my entire forearm. even if i knew how everything would end up, i would do it again in 100 lifetimes.
