ORBIT Nearly Gets Fired Because Of Love For LOONA — Here's What Happened

An ORBIT (LOONA fan) nearly got fired from her corporate job because of her love for LOONA.

On June 13, X user @qnoodledoodles, hereby referred to as Noodle, shared a photo of her desk to celebrate her first day at her corporate job. In the photo, both monitors featured moons and an orbit, referencing LOONA. Her desk also featured photo cards of two LOONA members. In her caption, she jokingly asked if her workmates knew they were an ORBIT.

The photo cards were of Gowon and Hyeju (also known as Olivia Hye)

While the desk set-up appeared harmless, it appears not everyone thought so. On June 16, Noodle revealed that her manager, Kyle, sent her a passive-aggressive text about her cubicle, stating it was “not up to company brand standard.” He asked her to change the layout that coming Monday and to meet them for a meeting at 2 PM. Noodle worried that she was getting worried that she might be worried about her desk layout choices.

But she did not take it sitting down! She was advised by her co-workers to talk to HR, with everyone confused as to why Kyle was upset over a few photo cards. On June 17, Noodle revealed her co-worker immediately told her not to take any of her decor down.

Noodle requested a meeting with HR over the situation. She stated that she explained that the photo cards were of people special to her, and even showed them her desk. Luckily, HR was on her side and stated that all she needed to do was clean up the papers on her desk and organize more. However, LOONA was there to stay!

Noodle was reassigned to a different team following the meeting with HR. Hilariously, on, June 19, Noodle shared a photo from her new cubicle, featuring roughly the same set-up. She then asked if it was obvious she was an ORBIT.

LOONA has not been active as a 12-member group since 2022. Chuu was the first to Blockberry Creative, doing so on November 25, 2022, due to a contractual dispute. In January 2023, Heejin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry had their contracts with the label terminated. In May, Hyunjin and Vivi had their contracts terminated as well. Finally, in June, Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Hyeju, and Gowon had their contracts nullified.

Chuu is currently active as a soloist. In September 2023, Loosesemble, featuring Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Gowon, and Hyeju, made their debut. In February 2024, ARTMS debuted featuring members Heejin, Haseul, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. Yves debuted as a soloist in May.
