also referred to as The Origin Album, is an unreleased extended play by Loona. The album was intended to release on January 3, 2023, as Loona's sixth extended play, released under Blockberry Creative and Warner Music Korea]. Following several lawsuits filed by members of the group, the album was indefinitely postponed, with no new release date announced since.
Background
On November 25, 2022, Chuu was officially removed from Loona by Blockberry Creative amidst a lawsuit filed against the label. Despite strong backlash from the fandom, it was announced on December 7 that Loona would be moving forward with their first comeback as 11 members. On December 12, a teaser was released for the album, revealing its title and release date, followed by the album's tracklist on December 13.
Fan reception to the comeback announcement was poor, with pre-orders only amounting to as many as few as 93 copies on December 15 as a result of fan boycotts. On December 16, Blockberry announced the group would not hold a comeback showcase to promote the comeback, the first time the group had not done so since their debut in 2016. Reports later suggested that the group would continue to hold a live broadcast after the album released.
On December 22, 2022, Blockberry announced that the album would be postponed indefinitely as a result of the group's lawsuits and fan backlash.
