LOONA Fans And Staff Members Defend Chuu, Fire Back At BlockBerry Creative
As of today, Chuu is no longer a member of LOONA. In an official statement, shared on the group’s fancafe, BlockBerry Creative announced that Chuu has been removed from LOONA due to her behavior towards the agency’s staff members.
Based on the LOONA members’ love for the team and consideration for their fans, they tried to show their feelings by putting their best efforts into their performances and content, not talk about what is true or false.
However, recently we were told of Chuu’s verbal abuse and power-trip tendencies towards our staff. After an investigation, we discovered the truth. Our agency staff are apologizing and comforting the affected staff members. We have decided to take responsibility for this and remove Chuu from LOONA.

BlockBerry Creative stated that LOONA and the agency will both, “go back to our roots and work as hard so an incident like this never happens again.” Some fans, however, do not believe the “incident” occurred in the first place.
Instead, they claim BlockBerry Creative is trying to silence Chuu and cover up their alleged mistreatment of her.
chuu speaking out against being overworked and mistreated and blockberry calling her abusive I need that company shut down

adding that little “The LOONA members have never worked solely for their personal profit or gain” to try and shade chuu because god forbid somebody wants to actually receive the money they work for instead of just being used as a cash cow for a company that doesn’t care about u https://t.co/KN3OTYpzjY

Fans aren’t the only ones coming to Chuu’s defense. The writer of Chuu Can Do It (also known as Chuu Protect the Earth) contradicted BlockBerry Creative’s claims about Chuu’s attitude towards staff.
"and she'd say that having gone through this herself and knowing how hard it is, she couldn't bear seeing that~
Everyone knows that she didn't have proper care
Regardless Jiwoo will be fine~ Since she treats others so well haha"

A photographer who has worked with LOONA several times also painted a very different picture of the star, recalling fond memories of Chuu on set.
Instagram Story from a photographer who has worked with #LOONA:
I always remember, every time we had a photoshoot, how Chuu would give me a warm hug and energize me, and the warmth of the LOONA members.🤍
I'm always rooting for you with love! 💪🫶 pic.twitter.com/5DiNopGdQb— 💫 Orrery/nim (@orrery_nim) November 25, 2022
