Artms is a South Korean girl group formed by Modhaus, consisting of five former members of the popular group Loona: Heejin, Haseul, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry. They officially debuted on May 31, 2024, with their single "Virtual Angel" from their debut album DALL.
The name "Artms" is inspired by the Greek goddess Artemis and NASA's Artemis program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. This group has garnered attention not only for its musical talents but also for its unique narrative approach, weaving together elements from their past experiences in Loona while creating a fresh identity as Artms. Their debut album DALL, which stands for "Devine All Love & Live," features themes of love and empowerment, showcasing a blend of their individual artistic expressions and shared history12.
The formation of Artms marks a significant chapter in K-pop history, particularly due to the tumultuous journey its members experienced prior to their debut. After leaving their previous agency, Blockberry Creative, following legal disputes, the members signed with Modhaus and began crafting their new narrative. Artms has been recognized for its innovative approach to music and performance, often incorporating meta-narratives that reference their past works while pushing boundaries within the K-pop genre. Their pre-debut singles have drawn interest for their artistic direction and thematic depth, with music videos that blend striking visuals with storytelling elements. As they embark on their world tour titled "Moonshot," Artms is positioned to make a significant impact in the K-pop landscape with their creative vision and commitment to artistic integrity234.
