Last month, Kim Chung Ha made headlines by announcing her new affiliation with Jay Park's label, MORE VISION, and sharing stunning new profile photos under her new agency. Fans and netizens alike were elated by her new look and expressed their excitement for her future ventures with a fresh label.

However, despite the positive developments, Chung Ha faced a setback as she was unable to gain control over her social media accounts and her fandom name.

In a recent update on November 20, Chung Ha revealed that she is embarking on a new chapter with her fans and will be accepting submissions for a new fandom name.

This announcement sparked immediate attention, and fans wasted no time in highlighting the issues related to her previous agency, MNH Entertainment.

Many fans expressed their disappointment and disapproval towards MNH for taking control of Chung Ha's original social media pages and even trademarking her fandom name. This move was deemed excessive and unfair to both Chung Ha and her loyal supporters.

Netizens voiced their concerns, questioning the rationale behind MNH's actions. They wondered why the company would trademark Chung Ha's fandom name, especially when it is unclear how they intend to use it.

Fans also pointed out that Chung Ha had made significant contributions to the agency and deserved better treatment. Some criticized MNH for their handling of her last album, suggesting that their actions were influenced by the contract renewal period.

The sentiments expressed by fans ranged from understanding Chung Ha's decision to leave the agency to labeling the company as "dirty" and "grimy."

The general consensus among netizens was that MNH Entertainment had overstepped their boundaries with regards to Chung Ha's social media accounts and her fandom name. The company's actions were viewed as excessive and unnecessary, leading many to believe that they had missed out on an exceptional talent.

The criticism levied against MNH for their perceived unethical behavior was relentless, with some commenters calling their actions "overboard" and "disappointing."

Overall, fans and netizens rallied behind Chung Ha, expressing their support for her new chapter while condemning MNH Entertainment for their handling of the situation.
