History Trivia / LOONA

* NamesTheSame:
** Loona (not caps-locked) is also the name of a known Dutch pop singer and a [[WebAnimation/HelluvaBoss wolf]].
** LOONA's [=JinSoul=] sang a gorgeous, powerful track for the KoreanDrama ''Meow, The Secret Boy'' titled "As Time Goes." However, [=JinSol=] of April, a different girl group, sang on the same OST. As a result, many Orbits accidentally bought/streamed copies of the other [=JinSol=]'s song (which is, funnily enough, called "I Was Wrong") instead of LOONA [=JinSoul=]'s. The mix-up was not entirely just fans' mistake, however, as Spotify also misclassified [=JinSoul=]'s track as [=JinSol=]'s.

* ActingInTheDark: The members have admitted that sometimes — ''but not always,'' mind — that they don't even know what they're meant to be acting out. Again, however, this is not always the case. For example, [=ViVi=] provided a WordOfSaintPaul confirmation that in "Why Not," her character is indeed searching for Yves via one behind-the-scenes clip.

* DawsonCasting: [=ViVi=], [=HaSeul=], [=JinSoul=] and Kim Lip were all slightly older than high school age when they played their characters, who are all implied to be high schoolers (at first).
