Meaning and background
The story behind Loona
Loona has an exact-letter musical association with the group styled LOONA. Universal Music Japan's biography records the twelve-member group's August 2018 debut with Hi High and describes earlier solo and subunit releases, including LOONA 1/3 and ODD EYE CIRCLE. This gives fans a concrete musical reason to choose the name for a dog. The label biography supports the group connection, without establishing that this spelling shares the etymology of Luna.
