It's interesting that they keep going with these experimental MVs for their Japanese songs. Hula Hoop was just a slow pan downwards using a lot of green screen effects, Starseed was essentially an anime, and now this one.

Why do you think that is? Production's given more freedom when it comes to the Japanese releases?

I don't really know how much input Universal Japan has in all of it, so tough to say. Japanese promotions tend to look "cheaper" often for whatever reason, (whether they actually are or not is another topic) so maybe instead of doing similar stuff they did before in Korean comebacks and it potentially looking inferior or too similar, they focus on being unique instead.

BBC sabotaging their own group because they became profitable when the group and company was only supposed to exist as a money laundering scheme
Still waiting for her side's statement. Hopefully she sues for defamation if it's a straight lie.
Even if it isn't, hoping she can get the rest of the members in contact with the lawyer she used to suspend her contract earlier. If the premise was her not being paid, then there's enough evidence the rest of them haven't either.
Woooooow...
Like, wow that was quick. This had to have been in the works for a while...

Maybe? Perhaps Vivi's might be more complicated because she's a foreigner and her work visa would be through the company so IDK. Hyunjin is appearing on MBC's World Cup coverage so maybe she's waiting as well.

It didn't work, it's just the beginning. They need to be serious with their statement about resolving the situation with the members via fixing their contracts, paying them their fair share of the profits, allowing them to terminate their contracts if they want, and retracting their bullshit statements and apologize to Chuu.
Anything else is just lipservice that will never return a BBC-run Loona back to the status it had previous to this disaster.
Oh the government has taken notice too
A 4k fine isn't going to be enough though, these fucks need to be put in jail

They clearly have plans with one another even if they leave BBC. The reporting even said they hoped to terminate their contracts together. It just seems to have been delayed now. You can tell in their writing, especially Yeojin and Yves how anguished they are. I have no idea how BBC can continue on as a company if they don't release them from their contracts. They're certainly not going to turn a profit holding onto the remaining 7 members. Fans aren't going to support anything going forward...
But whoever is doing PR for them over there is basically bragging about "winning" the case even though half of the members that filed won. "Arranging their stance on future activities" or whatever this one article translation said. It's just insanely shameless and sadistic. None of them wants this. Hopefully the 5 members that weren't granted injunctions proceed with the actual court case and win their freedom that way, but who knows how long that will end up taking... There's a chance BBC could lose rights to the LOONA trademarks and everything if everyone leaves, so perhaps that don't want to let that happen if they aren't compensated for it. But even still... how can they expect to debut more groups without rectifying this situation. They're holding the remaining 7 members in a prison of debt. It's evil.
It's just heartbreaking to read their constant apologies for sticking up for themselves and standing against a contract that essentially permits indentured servitude. All of the worries and feelings of inadequacy, when they're selling out thousands of seats a night on tour and not seeing a single dime. This tax-evading, money-laundering, fat fuck CEO and his useless bitch wife profiting off of their backs and forcing the girls they watched grow up have to go to a judge to try to void a contract that's designed to keep them in perpetual debt. The lame attempt to smear Chuu's reputation instead of just fucking paying all of them the value of their labor in the first place. Being petty, lazy, cheap bastards with no regard for their own reputation and how that could affect their ability to promote their only group and cash cow. I'm praying that I get the opportunity to piss on their graves one day.
If there isn't some sort of happy ending at the end of this and no sense of justice, then I'm just done with Kpop. None of this shit makes sense and the fact that it's even allowed to happen is criminal.

Thank fuck. Was beginning to worry this would get drawn out so long it'd take the rest of their contracts. Hilarious that they somehow thought transferring their contracts to Universal Music Japan without consent would somehow solve everything.
