About Her (In Real Life)
When Kim Lip was in sixth grade, she joined a dance class after her mother told her she needed to lose weight. This ignited her love of dancing and singing, and she began to dream of becoming an idol. Kim Lip also swam on her school’s swimming team for about seven years.
Kim Lip auditioned unsuccessfully for multiple agencies before she was contacted through Instagram by Polaris-BlockBerry around January 2016. After being cast by BlockBerry Creative, Kim Lip trained in hopes of being chosen for the LOONA project. She saw other trainees with shorter training periods than her selected first, and she became uncertain in herself. After waiting for one year and three months, Kim Lip was chosen as the sixth member of LOONA.
About Her (In Loonaverse)
Kim Lip's animal, the owl, represents wisdom and knowledge, which we can also see as her role of leader of ODD EYE CIRCLE. We can also assume that this means she is the leader of the primary colors, and therefore has some control over the other members of OEC. As we see with both JinSoul and Choerry, who go against HeeJin's wish and interact with yyxy, they represent the "dark" side of the mobius strip, which is exactly what their creator, HeeJin, doesn't want.
