Chuu was the most popular member of Loona.
Chuu, the former member of the popular Kpop girl group Loona spoke up for the first time after her former agency BlockBerry Creative (BBC) dropped her from the group.

Earlier on November 25, BBC announced Chuu’s removal from the 9-member group, citing “violent language and misuse of power” towards a staff member as the reason behind this decision.

The ‘Heart Attack’ singer vented her heart out on her Instagram on November 28. In her post, Chuu denied the allegations against her and claimed that she had never done anything that would be "shameful" for her fans. She also implied that she had more to say, and would divulge further information in the future. "As I have not received any contact regarding this series of situations or know anything about them, I’m currently grasping the situation, but what I’m sure of is that I haven’t done anything that would be shameful to my fans. In the future, as my position is decided, I will share another statement," read her post in Korean.

The group has been making headlines for the wrong reasons in recent months. Earlier on November 28, JTBC Entertainment News reported that all the members -Heejin, HaSeul, YeoJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, Choerry, Yves, Go Won, and Olivia Hye all sought to end their contract with the agency. On Monday (Nov 28) members filed injunctions seeking suspension of their contracts as their "trust has been broken." The agency has denied reports.

Loona’s fans (fondly referred to as 'Orbits') have not taken well to the news of Chuu’s expulsion. Many took to social media to voice their heartbreak at the decision and provide support to the idol. They trended the hashtag #westandwithchuu on Twitter and made many posts calling out BBC. " need loona to pull a got7 and just don't bother finishing their 7 year contracts. cut off ties, form an indie label w chuu and continue as 12. ik (I know) damn well haseul herself can manage the group on her own," wrote a Twitter user. Other fans claimed that the Chuu will always be a member of the group. "Chuu is always the tenth member of the group. Nothing can change that!" wrote another fan.
