Artms (/ˈɑɹtəmɪs/; Korean아르테미스; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by Modhaus.[1][2] The group consists of five former Loona members: Heejin, Haseul, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry.[2] They debuted on May 31, 2024, with the single "Virtual Angel" from their debut album DALL.

Name

[edit]

The name Artms was inspired by Ancient Greek's goddess of the moon named Artemis, as well as the NASA's project Artemis program, intended to return to the Moon and send the first woman and the first person of color to land on the Moon.[3][4]

The group's name originally formed as a project by Modhaus in 2023 prior to debut as a permanent group in May 2024.[5]

Career

In November 2022, nine members of Loona, including the quintet, applied for a provisional injunction to suspend their exclusive contracts due to Chuu's removal from the group.[6] On January 13, 2023, the members' exclusive contracts were successfully terminated from Blockberry Creative.[7] On March 17, Loona members Heejin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry signed exclusive contracts with Modhaus after their contracts with Blockberry Creative were terminated.[1] On June 21, Haseul, another member of Loona, signed with Modhaus after her contract with Blockberry Creative was terminated.[8]

On June 19, 2023, Modhaus announced that the trio Odd Eye Circle would return with their second extended play Version Up on July 12, as a part of the first project of Artms.[9] On October 26, the solo single "Plastic Candy" by member Haseul was released.[10] Her first small theatre concert entitled Music Studio 81.8Hz dated from October 26 to October 29.[11] On October 31, member Heejin released her first EP K as a part of the Artms project.[12] On December 1, Artms released the single "The Carol 3.0", a continuation of The Carol series from their Loona days and their first release as a five-member group.[13] An English version of "The Carol 3.0" was released on December 11.
