Loona (stylized in all caps or as LOOΠΔ; Korean이달의 소녀; RRIdarui Sonyeo; Japanese: 今月の少女, romanized: Kongetsu no Shōjo, lit.'Girl of the Month') is a South Korean girl group formerly under Blockberry Creative. The group was composed of eleven members: Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Vivi, Yeojin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Go Won, and HyeJu. Originally a twelve-member group, Chuu was removed from the line-up on November 25, 2022, due to a contract dispute. The group debuted as a full ensemble on August 19, 2018, with the extended play (EP) [+ +], supported by the lead single "Favorite" and the title track "Hi High".

From 2022 to 2023, after a series of lawsuits, Loona members terminated their contracts with Blockberry Creative and signed contracts with new labels: YeoJin, Go Won, HyeJu, HyunJin, and ViVi signed with CTDENM and re-debuted as Loossemble in September 2023; Yves signed with Paix Per Mil and made her debut as a solo artist under the company in March 2024; while HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, Choerry, and HaSeul signed with Modhaus and re-debuted as Artms in May 2024.
