Member Chu was released from the girl group Loona, which debuted as a 12-member group.

Whether or not Chew did something to her staff became an issue.

If you look at the KakaoTalk messages exchanged between Chuu and her manager A in her 40s, which was recently revealed by Dispatch, an entertainment media, Chuu said, "I don't reply", "When I die, I have to write it all down and die to come to my senses."

It was confirmed that some radical remarks were made.



On the other hand, there was also a counterargument that Chuu's actions began with complaints about the settlement ratio issue with her former agency, Block Berry Creative.

Chuu said that her former agency had a 7:3 contract with her former agency, and a 5:5 ratio for expenses, so even if she worked, her debt would increase.

Since the beginning of this year, Chuu has earned more than 200 million from her personal accounts, but the reason was that conflicts with her agency were inevitable.

Amid the conflict between Chuu and the agency, it was reported that Loona members took the blame.



LOOΠΔ appeared in 'Queendom 2' despite an uncertain environment, such as Chu setting up a private corporation after a legal dispute with her agency and continuing her team activities, and achieved a valuable result of being runner-up.

However, in the process of Loona's promotions, it was revealed that Chew used leverage to pressure her to participate in team activities because of her dissatisfaction with the company.



On KakaoTalk secured by SBS Entertainment News, at the time of LOOΠΔ's solo content filming last July, Chuu responded to manager A's sending the filming schedule, "I didn't say that I would waste time when I said it was a day, but if you do it this way, you can participate as a group." I can't do it." He said, "I'm not trying to play around with the waiting time, I didn't check the timetable from me and just send it to the group chat room with the members. Know that this is the end."

Referring to another schedule proposed by the company, Chuu said, “I want you to participate in the documentary. It started with a comment," he complained.



Even at the time of the group photo shoot for Season's Greetings, which is a set of various goods released during the year-end and New Year holidays, Chuu demanded to check the shooting schedule first before her members.



At the same time, Chuu said, "In addition to the stay time, the time to participate in SIG (season greetings) is too long. Please adjust it so that we can only shoot until 7:00. I will pull the last group (shooting) and leave work first."

An official who was in charge of the filming schedule at the time said, "For a group shoot, a fair schedule must be assigned to the 12 members in consideration of the members' costumes, concept, and movement. However, Chuu unilaterally set the time and The rest of the members felt a sense of alienation and confusion as they demanded from the company as a notification that they would leave their schedules earlier than the others. The members must have suffered a lot," he lamented.



The girl of the month settlement system did not distribute a member's profit to the group.

I inquired about this point several times with Chudo company.



Chuu asked the representative of the agency, "Am I paying off the group debt?", and the company replied, "Of course not."

Then, Chuu said, "I'm going to talk about the settlement again, but please get rid of the things I'll be living in next to the dorm. I'll live separately. I'm trying to find a house to live with my family near my dorm, so please exclude the debt for the dorm."

In regards to LOOΠΔ's group activities, Chuu asked the agency, By4M, if he had requested special treatment to the extent that the rest of the members had a hard time, but they did not receive an answer.



Meanwhile, 11 members excluding Chuu made a comeback next year as LOONA and announced a solo concert in Japan, but on the 22nd, Blockberry Creative said on the official fancafe, "Comeback activities while various concerns about the members' situation are not resolved. It's meaningless." He postponed the release of the new album indefinitely.



Prior to this, on the 25th of last month, Blockberry Creative released Chu from LOONA, saying that it was confirmed that he had abused an employee of the agency.

After the lawsuit for injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract was cited in March, Chuu has been working with her agency after writing an annexed agreement to readjust the settlement rate and to participate only in group activities.
