**ARTMS** (Hangul: 아르테미스; *areutemiseu*), also known as **Artemis Strategy** (Hangul: 아르테미스 스트래티지; *areutemiseu seuteuraetiji*), is a South Korean project girl group formed by MODHAUS. It is composed of 5 members: HeeJin, HaSeul, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry.

## Name

The name ARTMS is derived from “Artemis”, the Greek goddess associated with the Moon. As such, it also shares connections with other things named after the goddess, including the Moon exploration program led by United States’ National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

## Concept

The project plans to still keep the same roots of LOONA, by following a similar moon–based name of ARTMS. The project teaser showed twelve moons, with four full moons representing HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. The catchphrase of ARTMS is “We rise together, back to the moon and beyond.”

## History

### Formation

On March 17, 2023, HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry were announced to have signed an exclusive contract with MODHAUS.

On March 28, MODHAUS filed a trademark request for 오드아이써클 (ODD EYE CIRCLE), and an additional request for “ODD EYE CIRCLE” (in English) on April 3, 2023.

MODHAUS CEO — Jaden Jeong — said that since he left BlockBerryCreative in 2019, he and the LOONA members had kept in contact and had a meal together about once a year. Initially, the members came to Jeong for advice in picking a management company, but eventually decided to join MODHAUS. Jeong rejected speculation that members would join tripleS, instead referring to them as “sister groups” with possible cross-group collaborations in the future.

Jeong stated that the ARTMS members are currently creating new music, and he is “working closely” JinSoul to develop her A&R skills. Jeong also stated that he is “open” to revising the scrapped music of *La Maison*, with a “plan on releasing it at the right time”.

On June 20, HaSeul was announced to have signed an exclusive contract with MODHAUS, making her the fifth member from LOONA to join ARTMS.

### 2023: Reveal, <DALL>

On March 31, ARTMS officially opened their social media accounts. They were announced as “not a name of a new group [but rather] a story about the amazing strategies and plans of the girls to get to the moon. HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry, will start this story.” Jeong reiterated this in an interview, stating that ARTMS “not a new group name” but a way to reference the “actions and activities” of members.

The ARTMS website included imagery of 12 moons, and an extended audio from the first teaser (unreleased and unofficially referenced as “B#RN”) for LOONA’s second mini-album *[#]*, which was one of the last pieces of content that Jeong produced with LOONA.

On July 6, the tracklist for ODD EYE CIRCLE’s *<Version Up>* stated that “initially, ARTMS was the name of the program to reach an orbit, but fate intertwined the girls with the name.”

On October 26, the release of HaSeul’s “Plastic Candy” first announced ARTMS’ debut album, said to be released “early next year”. HeeJin’s title <K> album description revealed the album’s title — <DALL> — and stated it is “aiming to restart LOONA’s worldview”.

On December 1, ARTMS released their first pre–debut single “The Carol 3.0”.
