본문
In a groundbreaking development, the Seoul High Court’s civil affairs department ruled in favor of LOONA members, including Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Olivia Hye, and Gowon, in their legal battle against their former agency, Blockberry Creative. This highly-anticipated ruling resulted in the suspension of the members’ contracts, highlighting concerns over the company’s decision to transfer LOONA’s contracts to Universal Japan without the consent of the artists involved.
Reports from prominent South Korean news outlets have confirmed this significant legal victory for LOONA. The court’s decision acknowledges the issue surrounding the transfer of the group’s contracts, emphasizing the importance of artists’ consent and involvement in such crucial decisions.
Reacting to the news, several LOONA members took to Instagram, expressing their emotions through creative and relatable memes. Yves, one of the talented members, posted an image of actress Nicole Kidman after her divorce from Tom Cruise, symbolizing a sense of liberation and independence.
Yeojin, in a nod to the Harry Potter series, uploaded an image of Dobby the house elf, accompanied by the phrase “Dobby is free,” encapsulating the members’ newfound freedom from contractual restraints.
Joining in the celebration, Jinsoul, Heejin, and Kim Lip, who had previously experienced contract suspensions in January, displayed their joy through heartfelt social media posts. Jinsoul shared a picture featuring the word “happy” written on a notebook, expressing her elation with a simple yet powerful message.
Heejin, on the other hand, chose to depict unity and solidarity by posting a picture of all the LOONA members hugging each other, signifying their unbreakable bond as a group. Kim Lip opted for a more subtle approach, uploading a moon emoji on her Instagram stories, a nod towards the lunar symbolism closely associated with LOONA’s identity.
This legal victory for the girl group followed the news that Hyunjin and Vivi, two of LOONA’s members, have recently signed contracts with a new agency called CTDENM.
