LUNA KIDS (루나키즈) is a project kids co-ed group and team created and managed by dance academy SL Studio and promoted by Goding Entertainment. They made their debut on December 16, 2020 with the digital single "Luna Christmas".
The kids group is formed of child dance students of the dance academy SL Studio based in Gangnam, Seoul; members by generation depend on who is currently enrolled as a student, is sorted into the team via a contest and who gains permission to become part of a yearly original music release. Additionally, they are not considered an 'official' group as the preparation of music releases is a part of their training program for those who aspire to become future K-pop idols.
A few members also are still technically enrolled at SL Studio and remain dance students despite 'graduating' from LUNA KIDS; some remain ordinary dance students while others are promoted to the senior kids dance team LUNA S.[1]
