Main Pop Girl Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Vulture just posted an article talking about the recent downfall of K-pop group LOONA and it's an interesting read! TL;DR: LOONA's agency Blockberry Creative allegedly fired member Chuu a few months ago after she disputed her contract, under which the girls were apparently losing money and payments were being withheld. The other girls followed her lead in deciding to leave the agency, and so the agency tried to rush out an album release before they left, but after fan pressure they are now indefinitely postponing it 👀 I genuinely feel there hasn't been a proper big K-pop girl group in years and shit like this is why they aren't ever getting to the big leagues. These K-pop agencies and labels need to learn to work with their artists instead of trying to control their every move. It's sad when you think of how excited people were over LOONA when they debuted and now they're just kind of fading What are your thoughts?

Capsule Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Universal Music Japan allegedly intends to file for exclusive management rights of the group. They apparently have some sort of clause in their contract that states that the group has to continue to fulfill their Japanese contract despite what may happen with their Korean contract/label. This would basically mean that ALL TWELVE original members could be made to come back together as a group in Japan for at least 3 years. https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/02/universal-japan-has-reportedly-filed-to-obtain-exclusive-management-rights-of-girl-group-loona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how the members feel about it or how they'd be treated at Universal, but I would hope that with a bigger company like that you'd have a little more oversight of some of these shady tactics 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
