okay ghostings
i just read the article
and i understand now what she did
she did the right, i nearly had a heart attack
im glad she did what she had to do
that poor girl
Why did Chuu take Loona’s label Blockberry to court? Fans relieved: 'It's a good thing' | MEAWW
Display MoreWas their something that i missed?!
I do hope BBC can clean up their act
and i really Hope that Queendom will help them out wether they win or not
besides
who knows if the girls have even been paid
Wait what?
How does that work?
did she violate the contract or did she purposely terminate part of the contract
There's confusion. Some articles are saying she is terminating her contract and the court approved an injunction to amend her contract while they decide if her contract can be completely cancelled. This is to help her situation in the mean time while the lawsuit is ongoing.
But some fans are saying that's misinformation and she was only trying to get the injunction to amend her contract and not completely cancel it. I'm waiting for a more reliable news source to figure out the situation.

Thank you for helping me clear that up 
but i hope she is just changing the contract and wont leave 
To answer OP, I think they could survive without her.
It would be a bit of a backward step with their public recognition, but it's not like they are insanely popular with the GP even with Chuu.
In the fandom, I don't believe she is significantly more popular than the likes of Heejin or Olivia/Jinsoul/Lip.
Who is the actor in the picture in your sig - not Benedict Cumberbatch. The other one?
a very young Alain Delon

thank you
okay why this group has so many members but high dependence on one member? genuine question
this is usually the case for groups from smaller companies
Fully clarification:
This is completely dumb. No court can rule an injunction without a lawsuit i.e., she must have filed a lawsuit for the court to rule anything for her.
Display MoreWhat I don't get is...why do idol companies always pick the shady route?
Always. This makes me think they have already given up on LOONA because why would you treat one of your main moneymakers like shit? That means you aren't even thinking about the future or investing in her long term career because what person in their right mind would continue to work like a SLAVE to get paid NOTHING?
Chuu has probably repaid her debut debt by now. Like I know, BBC dropped a LOT of money on LOONA to start, but by now, Chuu should have worked enough to make that back. Just imagine, if this is what the most popular and profitable member is experiencing, what must the other girls be going through.
LOONA is probably not going to renew their contracts, and I don't think BBC expects them to. They are milking the cow as hard as they can before it dies. God, I hope LOONA blow up on Queendom, so they can have SOME kind of career insurance. And, I feel bad for their boy group who is about debut. RUN. Kids, please, learn from this. DO NOT sell your soul for a little of bit of fame. Learn from what Chuu is experiencing and get the HELL out of there.
WTF? Exclusive contract and manipulation is the very bottom line standard of K-pop idol industry.
I don't believe Chuu has made enough. If you ever watched Queendom2 preview with sub, you must have seen about the news of Loona's agency being in debt. The group overall has been run in deficit.
Any idol agency is commercial, not charity and, K-pop idol is a big investment. Of course the agency must try its best to make good profit out of the idol.
Without a single kid selling her/his soul to the company, idol does not exist.

Yes, but exclusive contract and manipulation does not have to equate to a slave contract. The Big 4 probably have manipulative contracts too, but their idols can still profit from them. That's my point. You don't have to bleed an idol dry if you operate smartly, and constantly messing over your idols in the end without giving them anything leads to your company dying out anyway. Just look at TS Entertainment. It's smarter to know how to walk the line. That's just smart business.
An idol who is treated well is way more likely to resign, and with Chuu's momentum, it would have been better to try to cater to her to push her to sign. Bigger companies can get away with more than a smaller company. If you mistreat your money makers, then what do you have left when they leave?
And the companies debts have nothing to do with what she is contractually obligated to pay back. I don't know what her contract says (obviously she signed something terrible because she's taking BBC to court), but the only thing she should be obligated to pay back is the debt she incurred to be housed, feed, trained, and promoted by BBC before she debuted and started making income. So, whatever debts BBC has stepped their foot into does not change the fact that if she has fulfilled her contract obligations as a trainee/member of LOONA, they OWE her. Obviously the court thinks that may be the case as well since they are reviewing her contract and they have approved her injunction. We probably won't know the ends and outs of the contract. Whether the funds BBC spent to promote LOONA is split evenly or if Chuu's profits are just going in the pot to pay back the 8.5 million they sunk into LOONA.
Either way, doesn't stop BBC from doing shadier dealings than normal, and I hope trainees learn to stay away from them. No company is great, but some are better than others.

LMFAO. Always, the idol just gets a chunk from the profit. The very problem is that groups from smaller companies tend to make little to no profit. This is not a problem for idols from big companies (big 4) only because their companies are powerful enough to make good profit out of them.
JYP is milking Twice dry and I cannot say that is not smart commercial wise looking at its business report.
Loona has not been smart investment from the very start with extravagant pre full group debut projects. Still, I cannot say the chairman is brainless as his weapon company is going well.

In this case, Chuu isn't getting ANY profit despite being consistently the member within LOONA with the most solo promotions and CFs.
She has generated a big lump of income for sure but, profit? I doubt it. Highly likely, all loan taken for the group is responsible to every single member.
Not that I support this system but, to single BBC out and believe Chuu can escape this standardized practice is dumb.
I believe idols should be paid not less than 10% of what they have generated regardless to the investment spent on them (no cost deduction).

I meant revenue. Not profit.
And, it's up to the courts to decide Chuu's fate. Not me or BBC. So, I won't say what Chuu can or can't escape until the court rules.
They probably wouldn't
She is the only one that makes any money.
