Chuu/Jiwoo is a example of how having a kind heart and beautiful personality can have such a lasting effect on those around you to the point where THEY WILL COME FROM ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE TO DEFEND YOU #IStandWithChuu #IStandWithLoona #LoonaWillAlwaysBe12Members #OrbitsAssemble
Oh... and look at what we have now thanks to Chuu standing for herself - Chuu's album, new OEC album, Loosemble album, Haseul concerts, Heejin album (almost). Nothing like this would have never happened were not for Chuu (and her mother) and all those who defended her including the fans and their boycott. It is all actually really huge and shows that one can stand up for oneself and that fans should not just consume what idols prepare for them irrespective of what are the conditions. They are human beings, not slaves. They should be backed up even if it means we might not hear their songs again. Fortunately, we now have more than just 1 album per year. :-)
What I think is wild is that companies are backing Chuu when usually companies will drop a person in a heartbeat if they go against their company, in general. This is a huge deal in my eyes. BBC ended up with egg on their company face. That had to be so satisfying to see and hear.
I always know big things are happening in kpop when you're releasing a new video. I love your channel and how informative it is. I can't wait to get your perspective on the SM/Kakao/Hybe drama going on at the moment.
I heard about Kakao and Hybe buying out shares of SM Entertainment. I never thought this would happen, as SM was the clear number 1 K-pop label for such a long time. There's always something interesting happening in the K-pop world! And once again, thank you so much for watching my videos. I truly appreciate you being around and your comments :)
Great job! Your videos are always so thorough and I love that. You really hit it on the head with Lesson #7. Whenever I heard something about BBC I wondered how they able to front so much money and justify spending that much being a small/mid-size company that never debuted a group before. I honestly thought it was possibly a money laundering scheme. Bad business decision overall that set the girls and the company up for failure.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm honored that you watch my videos. As for your take, it's crazy how much BBC spent as a small/mid-sized company just starting out, looking like a money laundering scheme on the outside. It just sucks that there's some K-pop labels that set up their idols for failure from the very start :(
A decent detailed summary of the BBC Loona situation! I sure hope you are right about the industry also supporting Chuu with opportunities, but the powers-that-be in the Kpop industry may not like idols rebelling against one of their own (even tho bad). It may be that the laws change to protect the artists just like in the US movie industry with child actor laws and unionization. Some bills for full yearly disclosure of debt/earnings for each idol is currently running the course in the Korean legal system. In any event, I hope you do a follow up video to include what's now happening with Universal Music Japan's own contract with the Loona members, and the power play now in the courts between them and BBC for Loona control.
Yeah, the contract with Universal Music Japan is great if LOONA can land it. I do think the power play by BBC is horrible and unprofessional. I hope LOONA wins out and gets out of their label.
Great video! Just wondering if you could make a video in what makes a group an official “Nation’s girl/boy group” because I want to know how/which recent groups qualify.
That's a solid idea! I may do a video on that topic in the future. I just have a long list of videos in my queue right now. Thanks for the idea, as I really appreciate it :)
@@Popsori I can't wait to see your future videos. You're one of the Kpop-tubers that are informative, entertaining, and professional without having to be tabloid trash.
Thank you for this video. I assumed you are aware for Blockberry's petition to Korea Entertainment Management Association and the Korea Entertainment Producer Association to ban activities of Chuu and the 4 OEC+ members who won their injuction. Was hoping to know what your thoughts were on this from your experience of this industry? Union Loona have submitted Orbits' own petition to the losing members' law firm to use in their appeal case in having an injunction granted. Hoping all members can finally be free from this agency.
Ahhh yeah, I heard about the BBC petition to the Korean Entertainment Management Association when the video was processing. So unfortunately, I couldn't add the horrible BBC petition in time. I do think that BBC is very petty in trying to ban Chuu and other LOONA members in Korea. I hope they lose their court case, but we'll see with the Korean courts. I'd love if LOONA could be free from their agency too!
BBC is both shame and remorse on the table. It's often erratic and overly corrupted. Do they have to want until 2025 for the end of their roads? How many year contract have they signed? Is it 9 years?
Oh, for sure and I should have added what you said in the video. I was meaning that it's random to the average K-pop fan that does not know the backstory, nor follow LOONA.

You made me emotional. I also loved Chuu 😭. I still love Chuu 😢

I pray the TH-cam algorithm works in your favor more often, definitely still deserve more subs, wish I saw more uploads though!
Protect Chuuuuuuuuuuu
For sure! Right now, this channel can still be called "the best kept secret in K-pop" :)
And yes, protect Chuu!!!

Thank you for a concise observation of this sad matter.
I look forward to the girls moving on to better things.

Aaahh! So happy to see a new video from you. You are my favorite source for K-pop content. You keep it so real. *Popsori 4 life ong*. 🥰💯❤️
Thanks so much for watching Jia! Always appreciate your comments and you just checking out my videos :)
Great job on this report!

As for tabloid and gossip trash, I agree. I hate those kinds of videos and articles too.

People are calling on Elon Musk because Gowan from Loona is the godmother to his and Grimes’ baby. It’s not random.
Oh, for sure and I should have added what you said in the video.
