Song Review: ARTMS Release 3rd Pre-Debut Single "Pre3: Candy Crush"

ARTMS - Pre3 : Candy Crush 

Release Info & Mini Bio 

ARTMS (아르테미스) is the new five-member girl group under MODHAUS, which is technically a sub-unit of the girl-group LOONA. The group consists of LOONA members: JinSoul (진솔), HaSeul (하슬), Kim Lip (김립), HeeJin (희진) and Choerry (최리), and I can't say ex-members because officially LOONA hasn't disbanded yet. That also makes ODD EYE CIRCLE a sub-unit of both LOONA and ARTMS. 

The group (or sub-unit, or project group) made a pre-debut (or debut, or comeback) on March 29, 2024 with their 1st digital single "Pre1: Birth" and today on April 25, 2024 they released their 3rd pre-debut single "Pre3 : Candy Crush". 

Mini Review ARTMS's debut full-length album "<Dall>" is scheduled to be released on May 31, 2024 with "Virtual Angel" serving as the album's title track and their 4th single "Air" is scheduled to be pre-released on May 10. 2024. The group has already pre-released two other singles, "Pre2: Flower Rhythm" on April 11, 2024 and "Pre1: Birth" on March 29, 2024. 

Mini Review 

For their third single, ARTMS chose a mellow, city pop ballad with retro 80s vibes. The low-key, groovy rhythm and laidback, casual feeling gives space to the members to express their vocal abilities and charm and boldly proclaim to the world that they more than deserve a second chance to be idols in the over-saturated world of K-pop today.
