LOONA HyunJin & ViVi File Injunctions For Contract Suspension With BlockBerry Creative
In other news, HyunJin and ViVi have filed injunctions against BlockBerry Creative in order to suspend their exclusive contracts.
On February 3, BlockBerry Creative confirmed the injunction filing. "The reports regarding LOONA members ViVi and HyunJin are indeed correct," the agency stated. After Chuu's removal from the group on November 25, 2022, nine LOONA members decided to request the suspension of their exclusive contracts with BlockBerry Entertainment.
Four members were victorious in their appeal, namely HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry. Meanwhile, HaSeul, YeoJin, Yves, Go Won, and Olivia Hye lost the case. HyunJin and ViVi followed up on their win on May 9, as disclosed by Korean news outlets.
Moreover, BlockBerry Creative also submitted a petition against Chuu to suspend the idol's entertainment activities. The filing was made in December 2022, according to the Korea Entertainment Management Association.
The reason for submission was due to the idol "tampering" her exclusive contract by joining BY4M STUDIO in 2021, violating an agreement. Chuu's legal representative stated their claims against Chuu would be investigated and collecting facts should be the first priority.
This has also stirred outrage within LOONA's fandom ORBITs, who expressed their anger to BlockBerry Creative's petition against Chuu.
