(Sources: Part 1, Part 2) Yves, from the girl group LOONA, is making a splash debut as a solo artist next month. Having performed as an all-rounder following her 2017 debut with LOONA, Yves had previously signed an exclusive contract with Paix Per Mil and embarked on a new beginning. LOONA, which had consisted of 12 members, has divided into ARTMS, with members Heejin, Haseul, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry; and Loossemble, with members Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Go Won, and Hyeju. Chuu and Yves declared going as solo artists and began their bold journeys. Yves expressed an ambition to widen her musical spectrum, as an artist beyond an idol. Hard at work focused on recording, she is preparing to encounter the fans in a completely changed appearance. Yves hinted to us that her musical color and concept will be entirely different from her group activities, and she will be proving her abilities as a solo artist through a new album. Yves recently met with us with a bright expression. Unlike her charismatic appearance on stage, her smile is radiant like a lily, and her eyes became moist whenever she mentioned the fans. It would be natural to feel tired with recordings going on for days, but Yves is enjoying her days filled with excitement and passion; we discussed a range of topics in our conversation. Yves facing a new beginning “I’m preparing for a solo debut in May. I had a goal to do it before summer, and after getting good songs and making good progress, I’m able to meet the fans earlier. I’m hard at work recording right now, and re-recording over and over again. I’m trying to challenge myself with some new things, listening to and reflecting the CEO’s feedback, singing with a different feel, all as I’m working. It takes time, but I’ve been learning a lot." Deciding to go solo “During group activities, maybe because I was a leader, my biggest thought was that the group had to do well. I had a lot of affection for the members and the team as well. During the hiatus I pondered deeply, of course had many conversations with the members, and talked a lot with myself as well. I realized that I wanted to tell some honest stories through music now, and the members supported me, so I decided to exert some more strength and go solo.” Songs that feel different “I’m personally so fond of these songs. It was new for me too, so I think the end product is something that will surprise fans as well, like ‘Yves is doing something like this?’ It’s a house-genre pop-feel track, and I think it stays a step ahead of the fans’ expectations, so I really want to show this to them soon. I’ve had a dream of participating in production work too, but since we have skilled producers at the company, I thought it’d be good for the company to at least ground the title track, so I left it fully to them. I’m thankful to them for thinking about it day and night to craft it and determine its colors. After this debut song, I’m planning to participate too as we produce songs.” The crucial reason behind the choice of company “I met with lots of companies, and that year of hiatus wasn’t a short time. The thing I thought about the most back then was ‘What is my identity’, and in order to find out the answer, I thought ‘Let’s figure out what it is I truly want to do’. I wrote lyrics and composed, deciding to make something on my own even if the song would never be released, and I learned about my own colors in that process. It was helpful to delve into the areas that I couldn’t focus on during group activities. I thought Paix Per Mil was a suitable company to broaden my musical spectrum, and they had skilled producers, so I trusted and chose them.” The LOONA members’ encouragement “All the members often tell me that they’re looking forward to it. I’m a big worrier, and they encourage me along the lines of ‘Unnie is going to do so well’. That gives me strength because they know me better than I do. And they’re my biggest motivation. We still chat often, and we have a group chat. We’re each other’s greatest supporters, to the point we always attend each other’s showcases too. I still believe that we are one team, so wherever I go I call them ‘the members’, and the girls call me ‘leader unnie’ too. Those things give me a lot of strength.” Yves’ leadership “It’d be a lie to say there was no pressure in being a leader. But I like to step up to compromise and make things and mediate. I used to be class president as a kid and I think I’m the personality type to have leadership. And I had such affection for the team and a passion to make this team successful, which also made me want to grow the members’ skill level. I was someone who wanted to continually motivate, and that was so much fun and gave me pride. That was only possible because the members trusted and followed me.” The process of learning about herself “When I met with this company, Millic CEO-nim asked me about the things I like. It wasn’t homework but it kind of was, and it was something I’d never thought about during group activities so I felt stuck at first. Vaguely, I just liked singing and dancing, but I didn’t know what kind of colors I possessed, and this felt refreshing and difficult and fun. It was a process of learning about myself. I looked at the list I made, which taught me about colors and interests I didn’t even know about, and Millic was the person who helped me find those things and guided me.” The music Yves pursues “Before, I used to listen to a lot of music that expressed emotion, like R&B and ballad music. These days I’ve been focusing on expanding my spectrum and learning, so I try to come across new algorithms. There is this artist, Caroline Polachek, and her cyber-sounding yet dreamy music is so nice. Listening to music I didn’t usually listen to, I guess you could say I’m expanding my ear for music. That’s what I’ve been working on.” A paradigm shift “I’ve had a shift in my mindset while working solo, because unlike working in a group, you can tell more honest stories and emotions as a soloist. I don’t think you can always be joyful and happy. Sometimes you’re sad and tired, and if you can deliver that emotion too as a message in music, some people would feel comforted by that, and I wanted to share that through music. It’d be nice if work and life were separable, but even when they are one, I felt like I could get honest and deliver my stories well. They could be like a diary, a record of ‘Back then, I was singing music like this, in these emotions.’” Reflecting on 7 years since debut “I can’t believe it’s already been 7 years. There are so many amazing seniors, so the 7th-year title humbles me even more. I think a lot about the early debut days, and I find the beginner’s mindset again as I reminisce. Of course I’m sure I’m a bit more relaxed on stage and mature now, but as the fans have been with me 7 years and grown tighter, I want to repay the fans, which makes me more passionate and resolute. They have waited for me for so long.” The reason for operating a blog “These days, there are many ways to communicate, social media and all. I used to like writing and keeping a diary ever since I was little, and I was thinking about how I could communicate honestly like that, which led me to this analog idea of a blog. Sometimes I posted poems and recent updates, sometimes funny photos, communicating with the fans in these ways, and the reaction was better than I thought. I read all of the comments, and they give me strength because there are comments like ‘I like seeing this side of unnie I didn’t know before’ and encouragements and other good reactions. I’ve never had to force myself to write out of duty. When I have a lot of thoughts, or I come across a book I want to share, I just naturally open the blog.” Lovely fans “I think the fans’ comments are attention and love. Sometimes they’re private comments and only I can see them, but they share about the prettiest moments in their days. They take photos of flowers or the sky, or post about their precious lives, and I’m so grateful that I can’t sit still. They are so kind-hearted and I want to repay them. My fans tend to be overwhelmingly more female. About an 8 to 2 ratio? I’m always grateful.” Yves’ childhood “When I was little, I was class president all the time. I was shy back then but I think I still had leadership despite that. I do feel proud of my younger self, wanting to lead my class well, and I want to compliment myself for overcoming that shyness to be an idol right now. Haha. When my parents went to work, it’d be just me and my sister at home, and we used to copy the songs and dances on the TV. I was really introverted and liked to hide and be shy as a child, but when my relatives got together for the holidays and told me to sing, I would actually sing and dance. I think I’ve always dreamed of being a singer since kindergarten. Imagining myself holding a mic.” A born attunement with the stage “I’m so happy whenever I’m on the stage. Some people say you need to separate work from life, but for me I think work is life and life is work. Even my hobby is music, and I don’t think of being on stage as work, but rather just a part of my life. I feel grateful and lucky to be loved and supported through doing something I love.” The memories of earnestness from Queendom 2 “Even if I were to go back, I would still want to go on there. My affection and passion for the team was great at that time, as it always was, and I wanted to show people through a survival show how passionate and skilled my members were. I wanted to guide the team well as a leader, and when I look back on videos of myself from back then, I was full of grit. Looking at things like that, I feel like even if I were to go back, I’d be even more like that, not less. Every stage was so precious and earnest during that time.” Dance, an indispensable thing in life “I really love to dance. I guess it’s because my personality doesn’t let me sit still. I have many dancer friends and I ask them, “Is there any choreography you’ve come up with lately?” and ask them to teach me. When we meet, it’s not so much of a lesson as much as learning choreo from each other. Because while professional dancers perform movements in a professional way, I think idol friends express and make the dance lines come alive in a way that’s consistent with their unique charms. My dancer friends tell me they learn a lot from me, and I learn from those friends, and I think we have fun dancing in that way.” Artists she likes, and goals “Watching Lee Hyori sunbaenim still being very active, I thought that I would also like to be a sunbae with a long run myself. She has many talents and is a role model of mine. Dreams as an artist? Dreams should be big so I’d like to make the Billboard charts. Haha. I haven’t made my solo debut yet so I think everything will come across as fascinating, but I would like to hold a solo concert too. I think I would cry (of happiness).” Dreams of Ha Sooyoung as a person “Having no regrets. With every moment being so precious and earnest, my standards got so high that I found myself unable to be satisfied with any stage. I started this work to be happy, but sometimes I’d find myself making it so painful, so I thought a lot about ‘What can I do to not have regrets?’ I’d like to put in the effort to craft perfect performances, but also to not regret what’s in the past and live true to the present. Kim Hyeja sunbaenim had a famous line in the drama The Light in Your Eyes that spoke to me and I try to take that to heart.” What she would like to say to fans “It would be understandable to dislike how I’m just all talk all the time, but my fans still support me and never hold back their love, and to them I always feel fondness, and guilt, and gratefulness. I’m not seeking anything else, just that if you stay by me, I want to be an artist who can console you with good music and performances. After a successful debut I plan on gradually working on the next album and sharing songs that I’ve made, one by one. I think maybe the day will come when fans will realize, ‘So this is what Yves wanted to do,’ and support and love me even more.” Hoping to be remembered as a warm page for you “I get sad if I can’t see the fans for a long time. Some time ago I had an event so I saw the fans in person, and it felt like the moment you set your eyes on love. I only get to communicate through text, so sometimes I get lonely. I’m good at putting faces to people so I know many fans’ faces too, and there are a lot of unnie fans. We had a whole year of not being able to do anything, but they waited, just believing in me, so this love is beyond measure. It would be a lie to say that this doesn’t sound forlorn, but I hope that when the fans think about me at some point in their lives, I would be happy if I could just be remembered as a nice and warm page. Being together forever would be amazing and I hope for that, but I know that this is difficult.” Singer friends that provide strength “My closest friends are Youngji, Weki Meki’s Yoojung, and (Lee) Chaeyeon, whom I can talk about anything with. We’ve even made a trip to Gapyeong to hang out, and these friends are always on my side, no questions asked. I’m always grateful and I feel guilty that I’m not good about staying in touch, but they are such lovely friends. Youngji’s very thoughtful and mature. She’s younger than me but I have a lot to learn from her, and she’s been in the scene since she was young so I’m often learning from her. Chaeyeon’s done many survival shows so her mentality is strong. She does get hurt but also recovers quickly, and I would like to learn this too." Wanting to give various fields a shot “I would really like to give variety a shot. Lately I met with LOONA members and Heejin and Jiwoo (Chuu) told me that ‘It would be really nice if unnie went on talk shows. It’s unfortunate that we’re keeping unnie’s humor to ourselves.’ I like making people laugh, and when the girls acknowledge me in this, I start getting ambitious. Haha. Recently I’ve started living on my own so I’d like to show my everyday life through “I Live Alone,” and I’ve heard that I get along well with manager oppa so I’d like to be on “Point of Omniscient Interfere” as well. I like Park Myungsoo sunbaenim, so I’m even in the “Silent Park Myungsoo room” open chat room, where you get kicked out if you talk. I’d like to go on Pinggyego or Halmyungsoo on YouTube, too. Lately I’ve been taking acting lessons and though I haven’t been learning for long, I’ve felt how fun it is and think I’m starting to get serious about it." Being a singer is a joyous profession “I’m thankful that I’ve achieved my dreams and to this day it still fascinates me. I think every profession has its difficulties. Having become a singer, I think this profession is so worthwhile, where you receive more love than you could ever repay in a lifetime. At some points, since humans aren’t robots, you can get exhausted, but whenever that happens, someone picks you up like a rope coming down from the heavens, and that would be the fans. I get to communicate emotions through music, and thinking about it that way, it’s a really a joyous profession.”

It also reflects the message that wished-for dreams come true after time, and one can smile again even in darkness as one overcomes hardship."

All I wanted was you But I guess it’s nothing to you, incredible So hard, because I meant it So hurt, the burnt feelings Take it back?

Made up of diverse sounds like an alluring dial tone and boomerang effect, the song presents an unforgettable journey. At the same time, a dynamic topline that pulls the listener in promises a repeating joy in the track. The lyrics reflect the vagaries of love and ensuing pains, as someone's repeated emotional changes wander around lightly as if crazy, and the narrator experiences bitterness from this but does not let herself be exhausted from it, instead discovering her own strengths and moving forward with freedom."

Reflected in my eyes was a sparkling Moon I stretched my hands to touch, but I couldn’t reach I couldn’t see in front of me And you handed me a little Moon shard I really can’t forget that moment My little heart, wishing to reach so earnestly The moment of my dream coming true My once black night brightening Was the moonlight you handed me My hesitating heart really wavering Was the moment the Moon rose The swaying moonlight, shimmering Moonlight in my heart, the moonlight within The two of us dancing, glowing even more, moonlight Dazzling starlight Like orbit, we circle round and round One day if we finally can meet Oh, my star, oh my mind You make me dream deeply, an unforgettable dream My once dark night brightening Was the moonlight you taught me My hesitating heart really wavering Was the moment the Moon rose The swaying moonlight, shimmering Moonlight in my heart, the moonlight within The two of us dancing, glowing even more, moonlight Dazzling starlight You are my starlight Shining moonlight The Moon approaches me and whispers An ancient secret, even more closely I learned the answer to you, and the secret is me I’m the secret Under the moonlight, our Shadows combine, and in that very moment At last I’ve found the answer, and I was the Moon all along I was the Moon 두 눈에 비쳤던 건 반짝인 Moon 잡으려 손을 뻗어도 닿지 않았지 앞이 보이지 않던 나 작은 달조각을 건네준 너 정말 그때를 잊지 못해 더욱더 닿고 싶었던 나의 작았던 마음이 꿈이 이뤄지는 순간 깜깜했던 내 밤이 점점 밝아진 건 네가 건네줬던 Moonlight 망설이던 내 맘이 크게 일렁인 건 달이 뜨던 그 순간 살랑거린 달빛 일렁이는 내 맘속의 Moonlight 그 속의 Moonlight 춤추는 우리 둘 찬란하게 더욱 빛나 Moonlight 눈부신 Starlight Like orbit 돌고 돌아 끝내 서로 만날 수 있게 된다면 Oh, my star oh my mind 넌 내게 잊을 수 없는 꿈을 더 깊게 꾸게 해 어두웠던 내 맘이 점점 밝아진 건 네가 알려줬던 Moonlight 망설이던 내 맘이 크게 일렁인 건 달이 뜨던 그 순간 살랑거린 달빛 일렁이는 내 맘속의 Moonlight 그 속의 Moonlight 춤추는 우리 둘 찬란하게 더욱 빛나 Moonlight 눈부신 Starlight 넌 나의 Starlight 반짝인 Moonlight 내게 다가온 달이 속삭이는 아득한 비밀 더 가까이 내가 알게 된 너의 답의 그 비밀은 바로 나 비밀은 나야 달빛 아래 우리의 그림자가 합쳐진 순간 바로 그 순간 비로소 찾은 답 바로 내가 달이었던 거야 달이었던 거야 "Moonlight is a pop-genre track that stands out for a refreshing sound. The catchy melody line and bass line in the chorus captures the ears, making one feel as if they are at a festival. The lyrics tell the story of finding light in darkness, illustrating the journey of a narrator who finds hope and experiences change through a little moon shard. Along with a change manifesting itself as love, the narrator studies herself and the world deeply to understand the meaning of existence, explores her existence and purpose through the beauty of the Moon and stars, finally finds the answer she has sought. The precious moments and process of growth deliver emotion and resonance to fan listeners." [Loossemble commentary] "I wrote the song called "Moonlight" this time around. I wrote with the idea of the Moon, which is the symbol of Loossemble. It reflects dreamy verbiage and a message that 'When I was exhausted after many hardships, the Moon was ultimately myself. Even when we become small and tired, like the Moon rising subtly in the morning, we always shine.' The song reflects Loossemble's color through words." -From Yeojin Korean Lyrics by Yeojin (Loossemble) Composed by Ends / ADORA / Jinsol Arranged by Ends / Jinsol Vocal Directed by Emily Yeonseo Kim Background Vocals by Emily Yeonseo Kim Drum, Bass & Guitar Performed by Ends Piano & Synth Performed by Kim Jin-sol / Ends Recorded by Kwon Yu-jin @ doobdoob studio Digital Editing by Kwon Yu-jin @ doobdoob studio Mixed by Jeong Yun-gyung @ InGrid Studio Mastered by Kwon Nam-woo @ 821 Sound Mastering Original Title: Firework Original Writers: Ends / ADORA / Jinsol Original Publishers: Copyright Control / Copyright Control / EKKO Music Rights (powered by CTGA) Sub-Publishers: Copyright Control / Copyright Control / Kobalt Music Publishing Ltd (KMP)

Source Of Jeong Byeong-gi’s K-pop production styles, the most famous one is having unique systems. There were solo music projects and units before LOONA’s group debut, and now for tripleS, its unit system is a key point as well. Is there any particular reason for this method? The LOONA solo releases were storytelling tools. As the company that the team was under was new, I needed a weapon like what David used to face Goliath with groups from big companies that quickly gain recognition, and for me that was making a universe. Nowadays “universe” is widely used in K-pop to much praise, but this wasn’t so common of a concept, even at that time. If you look at descriptions for LOONA on the actual music streaming platforms you’ll see a lot of repetition of terms involving the universe, and both solo and unit albums were part of that storytelling build-up. In other words, it wasn’t a story to fit a form, but a form to fit a story. Having said that, the solos and units weren’t just parts of the process either. I thought that ODD EYE CIRCLE and yyxy should all promote on their own. With the first unit LOONA 1/3 as well, though in the end they only released two albums including the repackage, there were actually future plans as well. You consistently give ballads a shot, such as tripleS Aria unit’s , and, though it was never released officially, LOONA’s . If you were to give a reason for this? K-pop is performance music and visual music. Thus, if dance cannot be guaranteed, it’s as if it’s not K-pop. But for an old person like me, I think the ballad genre has a very powerful strength in Korea. It’s a very difficult world for ballads to become hits, without choreographies to capture fans abroad. But, being myself, I want to show a variety of music. In particular tripleS’ motto is “idol of all possibilities” but if they just only keep dancing, what sort of possibility is there? You have to keep trying new things to bring in new fans. In many ways, you seem like someone who likes being unconventional. I particularly dislike things that are no fun. Predictable gifts are always boring, and while dramas need some parts that go as expected, you need to have a few betrayals. This sort of reasoning is why LOONA 1/3 included Vivi instead of Yeojin. Yeojin being the / in 1/3, it was sort of a wild card. Choerry showing up at the video event “CINEMA THEORY: Up & Line”, or Kim Lip being revealed as ODD EYE CIRCLE’s first member, ahead of Jinsoul who had been greatly hinted at beforehand, this was all in the same line of thinking. Previous LOONA members Heejin, Haseul, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, and Choerry have joined Modhaus to form ARTMS. At first that was just to be the project name, but it ended up being the group’s name. By chance, was there a different name planned? Or is this another unpredictable turn? LOONA is only complete with 12 members, so if a group name was suddenly decided on, I thought that the members whose lawsuits hadn’t been concluded yet could’ve felt like there was no place for them. It was called a project because a title was needed, but as everything has now been settled, ARTMS became the group’s name.

[Original Article] [Star News Reporter Yoon Sang-geun] Blockberry Creative (Blockberry), the former agency of Chuu (Kim Jiwoo, 24) from girl group LOONA, has again objected to their loss in the exclusive contract lawsuit and appealed, dragging the case up to the Supreme Court. On the 8th of this month, the Seoul High Court’s 7th Civil Suits Division, ruled in favor of the plaintiff (Chuu) in the appellate decision of the case to affirm the nonexistence of exclusive contract effect that Chuu had filed against Blockberry. Earlier, the Seoul Northern District Court’s 12th Civil Suits Division had also ruled in favor of the plaintiff in their initial August 2023 decision. It has been confirmed that Blockberry, which had appealed in objection to the original decision, is also objecting to the appellate decision and submitted an appeal on the 22nd. After debuting in the music industry as a LOONA member in December 2017, Chuu became a standout in variety, advertisement and other fields, increasing the share of her solo activities within the team. But after conflicts with Blockberry due to issues such as profit sharing, she caused waves in December 2021 when she filed a lawsuit. Afterwards, in February 2022, the court allowed a partial granting of the injunction she had requested alongside the main lawsuit, and even in the main case, both the initial and appellate decisions ruled in favor of Chuu. Nevertheless, Blockberry has shown that it will continue the legal battle through appeals. Apart from this Chuu lawsuit, Blockberry has also said that it “plans to appeal” after losing its suit against five other LOONA members, and is also preparing for the main lawsuit related to their exclusive contract effect, engaging in a lengthy battle. [T/N: The rest of the article provides a recap and background information on the lawsuit, and is omitted from this translation.]

[Link to original blog post] The day was today During practice I just couldn't focus And I don't like how I am this way, but I suddenly wanted to take a selfie No one knows which way I might bounce I can't predict myself, so sometimes it's quite difficult, actually often Right now I'm listening to Debussy When I cut through the loud and dizzying outside noises and open my door Strangely I want to listen to classical Perhaps a fussy effort to have a fancy-looking hobby? Or perhaps it was my taste all along Lily Chou-Chou also features Arabesque ('An arabesque is a form of musical exposition that uses flashy decorations on motifs') I suddenly felt curious and sought out arabesques, and I found someone who likes Lily Chou-Chou like I do. 'I was really into it at first, but not anymore.' True. Now that I hear that, I feel like I'm the same way Sometimes I am like water. You say one thing, and I feel that way I am listening to Debussy, but I start to feel like I don't like it that much I went to Bongeun-sa I visit this place like I visit a cafe Is it a silly hobby? I don't dislike myself for being still I meditate before returning When I look at my phone, an hour and a half would have passed I had stopped, for an hour and a half Perhaps I had grown On the way out, I saw a nameless flower I may not know its name, but it made me think spring had come People shoved large cameras at it, to take pictures of the blossom I didn't want to cause harm, so I ducked this low and removed myself Passing underneath the nameless flower. Passing by the spring This is a taxi in Japan That day I was quite so sleepy Who knows if this place is Japan or Korea or Earth or Mars I just wanted to sleep in the bed But I am traveling after all, so might as well play hard Am I lazy because my zodiac is the cow That is too generalized a thought It's just that you love the bed so much Thanks to diligent unnies, my memories of Japan are loud whenever I reminisce Truly what a relief What tea was this Something got into me, and I wanted to be classy and drink warm tea I had a pretty cup so I poured into it Sipping and sipping, I soon emptied it But my heart felt a void I did drink it, but my heart was cold That day was like that So Dohyeon told me this, that the cutting board holders? from Daiso make for good CD holders I had CDs in it at first, but that felt unnecessary, so instead I slotted the books stacked on my desk Books from all different places collected in a spot How is it to meet each other I can't read one book all the way through Still I share my reach around frequently, don't get jealous Every Day Is April Fools is the book I'm reading most often lately Literally every day is April Fools When will it not be April 1st anymore ma'am, please just tell me about your first love Tree seen from my window A person I painted I felt sorry for the tools gathering dust on my bookshelf, so I opened my eyes one morning and painted on my table The first thing I painted was a person I don't know how to sketch, so I went straight to coloring The person I drew seems to be full of thoughts somehow I wonder who you are? Anyway it's nice to meet you, my first painting I gave frequent walks, but the Tamagotchi died again, again What is your problem I'm angry so I'm not raising one again Don't even know where it went Suddenly I want to raise one again The roses I received at the company welcome party I saw these on a desk when I was about to go home So I asked, 'Can I take these home?' They lasted maybe three days Before wilting I threw them out with the regular garbage Flowers are like that They give incredible joy, then are disposed of like they never were But I like that So I keep buying them I found a flower shop near home, and the florist knows me now Flowers grow their whole lives, to bloom once like that And then they wilt I like that What flower shall I buy now Comments section: Carpe diem: What kind of post is this Yves: Stream of consciousness 💨🌪️

Greetings Interview

[Original Article] Chuu from the group LOONA, (25, legal name Kim Jiwoo) has won in an appeal filed by her former agency Blockberry Creative regarding her lawsuit which asked to “confirm the non-validity of her exclusive contract.” On March 8th, the Seoul High Court’s 7th civil case division ruled in favor of the plaintiff (Chuu) in Chuu’s lawsuit against Blockberry Creative to confirm the non-existence of her exclusive contract. Chuu, who had previously been in conflict with Blockberry over profit settlements, filed this lawsuit against Blockberry in December 2021. Last March, the court referred the case to mediation, but the two parties failed to come to an agreement. In November 2022, Blockberry claimed that Chuu was expelled from the group on the grounds of power abuse, but Chuu countered by claiming there was no such power abuse and that the profit distribution in her exclusive contract was unjust. In the first trial, Chuu’s representatives claimed: “By setting a penalty of three times the amount spent by the agency on top of 15% of the expected revenue from entertainment activities in compensation upon termination of the contract, Blockberry’s exclusive contract imposed excessive liability for damages.” On the other hand Blockberry claimed: “Chuu was working under a different contract signed in April 2022, and as she was working with a self-established agency in advance of that contract, it already had no effect.” Chuu won the initial trial. Rejecting Blockberry’s claim, the court said: “Regarding Chuu’s exclusive contract, because it had an established duration, it is not apparent that the contract loses effect because of a change in agency.” In addition they revealed that, “despite the plaintiff’s entertainment work from 2016 to September 2021 generating a net income of 860 million KRW, under Blockberry’s settlement distribution she was not paid any amount.” They also pointed out that although “significant initial costs are incurred while discovering and developing new talent in the entertainment industry,” that “Blockberry’s profit distribution is unreasonable due to it being impossible for the plaintiff to receive payments from entertainment work regardless of how much revenue is generated unless profits exceeded 40% of revenue.” As an example, the court cited the year 2019, in which LOONA made the most in net income since debut. At the time, LOONA recorded a revenue of 2.88 billion KRW with a profit of 1.11 billion KRW and as such, were not paid. (T/N: profits were 38% of revenue here) In addition, the court added that “Blockberry also included expenses incurred in the plaintiff’s trainee period before debuting as LOONA,” and that “it is difficult for the defendant (Blockberry) to justify such an imbalance when they were quite likely to recover a significant portion of their initial costs.” Afterwards, Blockberry’s representatives filed for an appeal, but as expected, the second trial maintained the first trial’s ruling, deeming the outcome to be justified.
