**MAGNETIC MOON (마그네틱문)** was a five-member girl group under SIGMA CORP. They debuted on January 1st, 2019 with the EP *a nocturnE tO thE suN* and disbanded on December 31st, 2021 at the end of the promotions for their last full album *prismatic whispers (transparent solace)*.

## History

### 2019

#### Debut with *a nocturnE tO thE suN*

The group debuted right at the beginning of 2019 with the extended play *a nocturnE tO thE suN* without announcing the members beforehand. All six tracks of the album featured music videos, each one focused on a different member except for the title, "**magnet tO yOur heart**".

#### Comebacks and music show wins

**MAGNETIC MOON** released their first single "**TRANSiENT ECLiPSE**" on March 31st as a pre-release for the future full album *five mOOns: secrets of time*, released on April 4th. The album featured 12 tracks, 6 of which were written and produced by future AUTOMATA member RADIUS.

The group later came back with their second extended play *effervescent ether – Now Quasar Flavor!* on July 20th, promoted by the title track, "**the THRILL**". Compared to their songs released so far, this summer release detached itself from the usual lore-heavy songs, opting for an upbeat sound throughout the album. This also caused them to gain greater recognition from the general public, earning them two music show wins.

**MAGNETIC MOON** released the digital single, "**velvety bergamot ~ legato**", returning to the group's usual sound, on September 30th, anticipating their second full album *Nebula's Blossom, Petal No. 6* which was released on October 10th. The pre-release earned 1 music win, whereas the title track "**the fifth hOur**" earned 2 in the span of the same week. All tracks have been written, composed and produced by future AUTOMATA member RADIUS, and fellow future member ALQUIST also collaborated on the title track and the pre-release's lyrics.

### 2020

#### "opaque soliloquy" and *of a star burning;*, RURUKA and STELLA's hiatus

**MAGNETIC MOON** started their 2020 activities by releasing the digital single "**opaque soliloquy**" on January 4th, a prerelease to their third studio album *of a star burning;* (which was later released on January 11th). Although this time RADIUS's participation has not been mentioned anywhere, the characteristic sound and his own responses in a future interview seem to confirm that SIGMA CORP once again relied on him for the group's release.

Promotions for the album were prematurely halted on January 17th as members RURUKA and STELLA sustained severe injuries, allegedly prior to a show's recording; it was later revealed that the two members would be recovering at the hospital and be unable to promote with the group in the meanwhile. The group promoted with the remaining three members for almost the entire year.

#### "moonwalk 4 2" and *mirthful orbit of a celestial body : you will find your destination on your left.*

The group came back with the fourth studio album *mirthful orbit of a celestial body : you will find your destination on your left.* on April 4th as their first release with three members, although both RURUKA and STELLA were featured on the studio version as the album was entirely prerecorded. Future AUTOMATA members DAEMON and ALQUIST were featured on the title track "**walking on the MOON**" as background vocals as well as stand-in replacements during live performances, mostly for choreography purposes; it was in fact revealed that the choreography had been prepared for 5 members prior to the group's debut.
