On November 25th, 2022, Loona’s Agency, BlockBerry Creative, announced that they have removed Chuu (real name Kim Jiwoo) from the group.

The company released the following statement [Via Naver]:

"There have been many stories related to Chuu this year, but the company and the members have not revealed their position because they are concerned about the development of the team and the fans' concerns.
"However, recently there have been reports of abuse of power, such as Chuu's abusive language towards our staff. After investigation, the truth has been clarified, and the company representative is apologizing and comforting the staff, and the company has decided to take responsibility and remove Chuu from LOONA.
We officially apologize to the staff who were greatly hurt by this incident.
We apologize from the bottom of our hearts for the fans who have loved and supported Loona and for not being able to keep the 12 members together until the end.”

Previously, it has been rumored that Chuu has formed her own agency. This has not yet been confirmed nor denied. Loona’s most recent release was Flip That, released from the mini album of the same name.
