Despite the fact that Chuu, a member of the group "LOONA", claimed her absence from the concert, the behind-the-scenes story surrounding it has garnered notice.

Recently, Chuu stated on a fandom online platform: "Fab", "I regret that I was not informed of the afternoon schedule participation. I miss you, too a lot", she said, expressing that she would not be able to attend the "LOONA" concert schedule from October 15th to the 16th.

On the same day, however, group member Yeojin responded to a question from a fan by saying, "Did you receive a concert notice? ", she said, "We already knew the month because we announced it in the group chat room and on the schedule for 12 of us. I'm looking forward to it" attracted attention.

Some fans who saw Yeojin's answer thought that the "12-person chat room" she mentioned didn't include Chuu but was instead for a manager and 11 other members besides Chuu.

After the controversy, Chuu said, "I think my story is going in a strange direction, so I'll just tell you this". She also said, "I can't do everything just because the schedule comes up, but the company has to give me a notice to decide whether or not to participate".

"So even if a schedule notification is sent out, I don't know if my schedule is to takes part or not", she said to draw attention.

The 2022 LOONA 1st WORLD TOUR IN SEOUL concert will be held on October 15 and 16 at the SK Olympic Handball Stadium in Songpa-gu, Seoul. After the world tour in February and June, member Chuu will once again not be performing.

Early in June, an exclusive report by E-Daily sparked rumors that Chuu would be moved to another agency. E-Daily said that Chuu is talking with the BPOM Studio about the details of her exclusive contract. This led to rumors that Chuu won't be at LOONA's activities and World Tour in the second half of the year.

In this case, the agency, Blockberry Creative, denied the transfer rumor on LOONA's official fan cafe this month, saying, "Recently, the matters related to Chuu are baseless and there is no position of our company or member, but some articles have confused fans and the public with the words of officials".

BTS member J-Hope has truly made a mark in the U.S. market, and it’s clear that his popularity knows no bounds!

On February 28th, during the latest episode of MBC’s variety show I Live Alone (episode 585), viewers got a glimpse into J-Hope’s daily life in LA, where he was busy working on his solo album.

The episode showed him visiting a busy shopping mall in California, and what happened next was nothing short of amazing.

While shopping for meat at a butcher’s shop, J-Hope was approached by a young girl who asked, “Can you take a photo with my sister?”

This request was just the beginning! Soon after, more fans gathered around asking for photos and autographs.

One man even mentioned, “My friend works here, can I get an autograph?” But the real shocker came when a grandmother approached him and said, “My grandchildren are your fans.”

Park Na Rae was in awe, exclaiming, “It doesn’t matter the nationality. Even grandmothers are coming!”

J-Hope, always humble, couldn’t believe how widely recognized he was. “I didn’t think I’d be recognized in the local market,” he admitted.

But Jeon Hyun Moo quickly shut him down, saying, “What are you talking about? You’re a world star.”

He continued, “Americans usually don’t do that kind of thing. Even if Keanu Reeves takes the subway, people don’t acknowledge him.”

Jeon Hyun Moo’s words perfectly captured just how incredible J-Hope’s global fame has become!

From fans of all ages to being recognized in the U.S. with ease, J-Hope is truly a world star!
