Status: Non-existence confirmed

LOONA (Korean: 이달의 소녀) are an idol pop group based in South Korea, founded by Jaden Jeong and Blockberry Creative. The group developed a large international fanbase with their pre-debut project, where all twelve members released their own solo albums from 2016 to 2018. The members made their official debut as one group in 2018. Also in 2018, the concept of an album made up entirely of Korean ballads was teased, which fans would refer to as Loona the Ballad or La Maison.

Teaser

On May 31st, 2019, a teaser for the album La Maison was uploaded on the official LOONA Youtube channel, and was posted on their social media accounts, as well. The video featured brief teasers for three songs- Daydream/Crystal Ballad, Hyper Ballad, and Bliss Ballad. The video ends with an image of the twelve members standing in a circle, with the words "La Maison LOONA" overlaying them. Below this, the words read "'Delayed but Someday," implying that while the album is not ready for release now, it will be released in the near future.

This seemed to have confirmed the album's deletion and it might never be released.
