Blockberry Creative, the agency that had a feud with LOONA member Chuu over an exclusive contract, sought for a trademark, it was later confirmed.

On the 4th of last month, Blockberry Creative, LOONA's agency, registered trademark rights for "LOONA's Chuu" with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

In 2018, a similar incident occurred at another agency. By the time the agency MBK Entertainment contract ends, T-ara is said to have submitted an information release to the Korean Intellectual Property Office to warn them of the unfairness of the trademark rights that MBK applied for under the name of the "T-ARA" team.

When their contract with Cube Entertainment expired in 2016, the band "Beast" renamed themselves "Highlight." This is due to Cube's refusal to provide them trademark rights.

"Why did you only register Chu?" and "Then, Chuu can't use her stage name afterwards?" asked fans of "LOONA" who were aware of Chuu's trademark registration in the online community.

Chu's motion for an injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract filed against her agency Blockberry Creative in December of last year was recently referenced by the court on March 29th.

Blockberry Creative hasn't stated its clear viewpoint in this regard.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
