LOONA vs Designer Toys: Yves, Cheorry & JinSoul
And so I had been posting on my music hobby blog a (ongoing) serial feature titled "LOONA vs DESIGNER TOYS", where I attempt to pairup a member of South Korea girl group LOONA (이달의 소녀) with a "Designer / Art Toy", based on her given ANIMAL (WHAT-IS LOONA VS DESIGNER TOYS).
That was "2021", and it remained uncompleted, even as the members of LOONA has since left their former agency BlockBerry Creative, via tumultuous situations (Read about it all HERE)... and perhaps it is time I finally closed the line-up, with THIS feature for the remaining members of the 12-member KPOP girl group.
HeeJin (Rabbit)
HyunJin (Cat)
HaSeul (Small White Bird)
YeoJin (Frog)
Vivi (Deer)
Kim Lip (Owl)
JinSoul (Blue Betta Fish)
Cheorry (Fruit Bat)
Yves (Swan) Chuu (Penguin)
GoWon (Butterfly)
Olivia Hye (Wolf)
FYI: Since leaving BBC, the girls no longer actively "use" their animal representatives, but fans/Orbits should know what they are/were, cheers.
Yves' animal representative turned out to the most difficult to pair, with two choice thus far found: SWANs from DIMOO WORLD Fairy Tale Series Swan (from Pop Mart,) and the Skoll Celtic Zodiac series from SunnyAndCloudyWeatherShop X XingHui Creations - both of whom are "mini figures"!
Ha Soo-young (Korean: 하수영; born May 24, 1997), better known by her stage name Yves (Korean: 이브), is a South Korean singer and producer currently signed under the label Paix Per Mil. As of 2024, she has released 2 EPs: "Loop" and "I Did".
Choerry's representative animal is "Fruit Bat", which I'll narrow it down to just "Bat", and thankfully we have at least four choices to be had:
T-L: Midnight Moon Bat by @nightlymade
T-R: Baby Bats by Jeremiah Ketner @smallandround
B-R: Bat Monster Yumekama by Kounosuke Chishima
B-L: Catbat by Heartbat Studio
Choi Ye-rim (최예림), better known as Choerry (최리) is a South Korean singer, and currently signed under MODHAUS apart of sub-unit "ODD EYE CIRCLE" and "ARTMS". Posted below is her solo MV for ""Love Cherry Motion" (2017).
JinSoul's representative animal is the "Blue Betta Fish", which is hecka specific, and hella'headache to mirror a dedicated toy with, and her being one of my main biases, does not help the pairing ... and I had even thought to change the animal to "tiger", but instead will defer to "fish", with a few options to look at:
T-L: Walking Fish by PEZ X UVD Toys T-R: Baby Sushi from Chino Lam X Pop Mart B-R: Koibose by Takepico B-L: Mergold from Martin Hsu
Jeong Jin-sol (정진솔), better known as JinSoul (진솔) is a South Korean singer, and currently signed under MODHAUS, also apart of sub-unit "ODD EYE CIRCLE" and "ARTMS" - alongside Kim Lip, Cheorry, HaSeul and HeeJin.
And with that, my "mission" has now been completed, and time to move on and move forth! Although the concept of "animal representative(s)" no longer seemed asigned to other KPOP groups (at least the ones I actively listen to), with the "connection" between designer toys and my love for KPOP kinda "ends"...?
