Some excerpts(google translated) & editorializing(original korean/hangul & translation). No full copypasta so pls follow the links to linked tweets n naver article(or google to follow/wait for translations). Note: i hvnt weighed in before (i think, if i rmbr rite) because it hits too similarly to another incident (tho not directly parallel), but i hope Chuu n ALL the LOONA members (ALL!) get a resolution they r satisfied with in the end, as much as is possible.

Start of excerpt(last part of the article):
Director D: Think carefully as I said. never hurt yourself Don't ever write a contract. Distrust about it has been dispelled.
Director D: But take the message. I made an appointment at 5:5. Well then... 7:3 and 5:5.
Director D: Let's just look at arithmetic. Watch Chu is 5:5. ratio.
Director D : Did you go to elementary school? haha. Didn't it come out?
Chuu: Are you saying that? I'm thinking.
Director D: I'm really kidding. i'm really sad
Chuu: I don't think it's a joke.
Dispatch: Did the conversation today affect Chuu's attitude?
Chuu: Director D treated me like a child. Do you feel like ignoring people? I was hurt in a state of distrust. You have to speak strongly for them to listen... So there was a time when I spoke loudly. I made a mistake because I was a person who couldn't help it.

"블록베리와 츄의 갈등은, 대중에 알려진 것보다 훨씬 복잡미묘했다.어느 한 쪽의 일방적인 잘못으로 몰고 갈 수 없다.정산과 불신, 무능과 무례의 콜라보였다."
The conflict between Blockberry and Chew was much more complicated than the public knew. It cannot be driven by the unilateral fault of either side. It was a collaboration of settlement and distrust, incompetence and rudeness.

"[Dispatch Exclusive] "Is it a right or a power abuse?"... Chuu, the whole story of 'LOONA' incident" (Article is too long for me to translate) https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/arti""Summary: • LOONA's original contract includes dividing the revenue as 7:3 (BBC:member), but they divide the money as 5:5 • so Chuu sued BBC, and won parts of it (according to the article, this was around Jan) •and Chuu already lost her trust in the company from Nov/Dec 2021"

Replying to
@kitty_nim_
"Summary/2 • In the new contract, it changed to 3:7 (bbc:chuu) • and if one of them lose money due to the actions of the other person, then they can request for a 50 million won compensation"

Replying to
@kitty_nim_
"Summary/3 • and Chuu's new contract also included: 1. the right to not attend Loona schedules 3 times a month 2. right to not attend Loona album schedules 3 times a month and BBC had to move their rights related to Chuu to another company so that the other company manages it"

Replying to
@kitty_nim_
"Summary/4 • It's basically about how Chuu already loss her trust in bbc especially related to her pay."

There's an issue with this story which it says the members were receiving 30% so why have 3 of them (Chuu, Haseul & Yeojin) gone on record to say that they aren't getting paid?

It seems to me that BBC gave each member their own debt outside of what they had signed up for otherwise you wouldn't make a point of saying you aren't getting paid since it's one thing for one member to say it but it's another for multiple to be saying it.

That's probably why the court ruled in favor of Chuu when it came to the injunction and if BBC is doing the same with all the members then there's clearly something off about how BBC is likely pouring any money they would receive into the personal debt they each have.

Apparently the revenue was divided 7:3 but the cost share was divided 5:5 so Loona only earned 30% while paying 50% of the cost which means they'd have to outweigh the cost of activities by 20% to break even and that's just not likely to happen.
