JAKARTA - Chuu's conflict with his former agency, BlockBerry Creative (BBC) is entering a new chapter. This time the report came from Dispatch which revealed the beginning of the problem between LOONA members and their agencies.

When Chuu signed a contract in December 2017, they agreed to share all income of Chuu's activities in the entertainment world with a ratio of 7:3. The company will get 70 percent while Chuu gets 30 percent.

On the other hand, Chuu's spending on solo activities will be divided into two. The BBC also implemented a revenue sharing system and then completed debt spending. LOONA members still have debts for covering up the BBC's expenses.

However, it is different from Chuu who succeeded in making his name in the variety show world. Dispatch said Chuu should have pocketed 200 million won because he had settled his debt. However, he is not satisfied with the ratio of payment with the agency and proposed a contract suspension in January this year.

With the court, Chuu can continue his activities and accept all benefits from his activities as an individual. He also only shared his income when doing activities with LOONA.

In addition, Chuu also has the right not to participate and terminate the contract at any time. The problem started on June 9.

Chuu was seen leaking a little choreography for LOONA's comeback in a video session with fans. BBC staff A then sent a message to Chuu's mother and said, The choreography can't be shown yet. What should we do?

Chuu's mother forwarded a staff message to Chuu. The artist also replied to another BBC staff "B" and asked, "Only this hahahahaha speak a second spoiler?" and decided not to join That Flip comeback.

In a statement, the BBC agency said the reason Chuu was expelled from the group was due to an abusive attitude to one of the agency's staff. Chuu responded that he believed the agency expected this conversation to be the cause of his message tone.

B's agency staff is the only person in the company I can communicate with. I'm not angry with B. I complain about how the company operates," Chuu told Dispatch.

Chuu also released voice recordings with one of the staff from the BBC in 2021. At that time, this staff sounded demeaning to Chuu when he was about to take care of an exclusive contract. He asked, "You're an elementary school graduate, right?"

The staff treated me like a child. I think they underestimated me. My distrust began to wake up at that time, because I was hurt. I thought I had to be firm for them to listen to me. So there was a time when I spoke in a loud tone. I'm also human, so I made a mistake, "explained Chuu.

My trust in the agency has ended since last year. I don't even want to participate in Queendom (competition between groups) but I also don't want to give up with LOONA. I signed a contract agreement to continue group activities," Chuu said.
