Reporter Lee Jin Ho highlights the struggles and pain endured by the 11 members of LOONA as a result of the conflict between Blockberry Creative and Chuu
Former entertainment reporter turned YouTuber Lee Jin Ho recently brought up the struggles that the other 11 LOONA members had to face due to the feud between Blockberry Creative and Chuu.
Lee Jin Ho brought to attention the disadvantages the other 11 members had to face because of this feud between Chuu and the agency. The reporter revealed a voice recording of a phone call between Chuu's mother and one Blockberry Creative representative. The phone conversation was about the music video filming for "Flip That," and Chuu's mother wanted to take Chuu home because of the delay in filming.
Due to the delay, Chuu's mother demanded that she takes Chuu home even though there was a group choreography scene left to film. Because of this, one member called the representative of the agency to let them know about this difficult situation. She told the representative, "Jiwoo (Chuu) said she's leaving...Even the jacket photoshoot, the other members only took one or two photos, and we have to film the group choreography. Now suddenly, Jiwoo said she was leaving, so it was supposed to be 12 members, but now it's going to be 11... We were told this so suddenly, and we have to follow along...it doesn't make sense so I am giving you a call."
Lee Jin Ho explains there was an issue during the filming, so the label representative gave a call to Chuu's mother asking that the group be given one more hour to film. That is when the group was able to finish filming the 16th scene with the group choreography. However, LOONA was unable to film the last group scenes for the music video because Chuu's mother had taken Chuu home.
Lee Jin Ho pointed out that the remaining 11 members were put in difficult situations whenever situations like this would frequently occur. He also pointed out that Chuu's mother would intervene even when the group was filming 'Queendom.' Chuu's mother would send a private message to the agency representative and call out each member and criticize their actions toward Chuu. Chuu's mother wrote, "Please make sure Jiwoo doesn't get stressed because of members B or C."
