MODHAUS CEO Jaden Jeong Posts Personal Apology To ARTMS And LOONA Fans

In a rare display of accountability, Jaden Jeong, the CEO of MODHAUS, has issued an official apology addressing the concerns of fans for the former LOONA members who are now part of ARTMS. This move has been met with widespread approval from the fan community, who have praised Jeong for his transparency and willingness to engage with their feedback.

Jeong’s apology covered several key issues that have been the subject of much discussion within the fan community. Firstly, he expressed gratitude towards the fans of ARTMS, including ORBITs. Jeong acknowledged the high expectations fans hold for the group and accepted that there have been shortcomings on the part of MODHAUS in meeting these expectations.

A significant point of concern addressed was related to the ARTMS Seasons Greetings merchandise. Jeong assured fans that improvements to the content of the merchandise are forthcoming and dispelled any notion that increased production costs from a photoshoot in Greece would be used as an excuse for any shortcomings. Instead, he committed to announcing additional components to enhance the value for fans.

The apology also touched upon the issue with the mix of ODD EYE CIRCLE‘s “Sweet Crazy Love.” Jeong stated his respect for the fans’ discernment, admitting that the new mix did not meet their expectations. He clarified that while the mixing engineer had not changed, copyright issues with the previous agency necessitated a fresh arrangement and mix to avoid legal complications. Jeong recognized that this change might disappoint fans accustomed to the original sound.

He assured that MODHAUS would handle future scheduling with greater care to avoid such issues.
