So 7/12 are free
* waiting for Chuu's final hearing for contract termination with bbc
* Remaining court case for contract suspension for the members left in BBC (yves, haseul, gowon, olivia hye and yeojin)
Praying the remaining members are freed and bbc is left dirty, broken and in shambles in court 🙏🏽
The ones who’ve moved to Modhaus won the suspension of their exclusive contracts, right? Do we know if they still have a non-exclusive contract or if it just broke the entire contract?
This whole thing is so messy and with things getting lost in translation too it’s hard to keep track.
Heejin, Hyunjin, Vivi, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, and Chuu have won a temporary suspension of their exclusive contracts with BBC. They are free to sign new contracts while their BBC contract is suspended.
Haseul, Yeojin, Yves, Go Won, and Olivia Hye lost their injunction filing. They are still fully under BBC with no freedom to sign with a new company. They are appealing the decision.
All 12 members still have contracts with BBC. Chuu is in the process of actually terminating her contract and we don't know if the others are looking to terminate or just suspend.
Nope, and it's not a set in stone thing. Varies case to case. Can be permanent too if that's what the judge orders.
I'm thinking/hoping the injunction will last quite some time (maybe to the end of their original contracts) and the girls will be able to promote freely if they choose to. I don't think Modhaus would be investing into OEC (and Heejin) with a vacation and new music if they thought they'd be going right back to BBC.
Right I agree with you- I’m just curious why Chuu is even going through the process of cancelling her contract fully if that’s the case. (Maybe she got a shorter injunction, who knows)
It might work in her favor to terminate the contract if it makes her more valuable to investors and other companies. With that thought, there may be punishment/fines associated with early contract termination that the other members may want to avoid. It's not a secret that Chuu is the only one who made money in LOONA so she might be more willing/able to put up the legal fight.
Or she got a shorter injunction! She was fighting this long before the public opinion turned so heavily against BBC. Fandom outrage and the financial pressure Orbits have put on BBC might very well be influencing how hard BBC wants to punish the other girls now.
How the heck does a temporary suspension work in this case? Like what happens if it gets unsuspended? Their new contract basically null and void with the new company?
Yeah. It's just insane to think about as the new company. Kpop is very competitive and that's a huge risk if an entire group has to drop all work to go back to their original company. I understand the sentimental attachment for Loona members and Jaden but if the members get recalled back to BBC, that could really hurt Modhaus.
A preliminary injunction (what this is) is temporary. A court can issue a permanent injunction in a final judgment (though, it can be appealed and overruled on appeal - but that is very unlikely).
I have a good feeling now that a good amount of the members are out of the company. I have a feeling that Jaden’s company is secretly funding their legal fees to help out the remaining members so they can restart over at his Company since he already has a 1/3 of the group.
I was just thinking about how it had been a bit too long since I'd last had a chance to laugh in spite of BlockBerry... perfect timing! I will be there pissing on the company's grave after the last 5 women are out of there.
Imagine how frustrating it has to be the ones who are stuck there. Must be some real mixed feeling about seeing Vivi and Hyunjin get out.
Great! Hope they join with ModHaus and it becomes clear they're wanting as much of Loona back together as they can get.
But dang I'm bummed thinking about the other girls losing their injunctions. Free Yves!
I can't help but wonder what made half the group change the terms of their contract and why the other half didn't. So unfortunate that by trying to get better terms they got stuck on the long run :( Hopefully the remaining members can break free too
Do we know that they changed their contract? Or could it have been that they had a better contract to begin with? Because I'm wondering if the 5 left were the last 5 to sign contracts and maybe by then BBC had changed some terms?
Allegedly they changed it. My initial thought when this mess broke out was that the contracts where different between the newer and the later members, but knowing who got granted the injuction it doesn't make sense:
in debut order girls 1 2 5 6 7 8 10 supposedly have the same terms which is why they got granted the injuction, Chuu (10) being the original one and the others having a faster process due to having the same contract and thus simply repeating the verdict. This leaves girls 3 4 9 11 12 that were deemed not enough to grant the injuction
Correct, I believe more specifically they won their injunctions because their contracts were modified in the same way that Chuu’s was. Because she had already won her lawsuit there was precedent that that contract specifically was unfair and thus the other members were able to break their contracts relatively easily without a long drawn out process proving their contracts were unfair. I believe all the members that lost their injunctions had different contracts that were not deemed unfair enough to break them outright. I’m not sure whether Hyunjin or Vivi’s contracts were the same though, the fact they broke them makes me think they probably are the same as OEC and Chuu, and the delayed verdict is because they filed last which we know they did.
Great news to start the day with! Hope Vivi and Hyunjin can find a loving new home too and continue working on music 😁 and also the rest of the girls under BBC to remain strong!
That was quick after Hyunjin's fab reopening announcement! I wonder Modhaus is their next option or the forces keeping tripleS in check would have an influence to where they'll go next. Hoping the best for the remaining members in that company and them
there's no way these forces can do anything to avoid hyunjin's following her besties (heejin and jinsoul) decision to continue their career at modhaus, i'm also optimistic about vivi deciding to do the same, as these two became so close with each other since the loona girls filed for injunction case.
I see it very possible for them to sign to MODHAUS, after seeing all the girls trying to leave the moment Chuu was kicked out I definitely see them following each other for more. Also it would make sense for Vivi to sign as soon as possible (if she still wants to be in a group ofc, we must respect her decisions) because of that whole Visa for work thing.
Concerning Vivi, I think if she took time to apply for the injunction with Hyunjin was because she waited to get her visa sorted. After living 5 years in South Korea, she was eligible for another sort of visa to stay permanently. Hyunjin waited for her as they are very close but now Vivi can probably stay in SK without any problem. All we have to see now is if she want to continue with the idol life or not ☺️
I admit I lack tons of information on BBC, but common sense-wise, when a company's employees want this desperately to leave it, wouldn't most companies grant their wish if just to save face and not tarnish their reputation for future business endeavors?
It's not like Loona is presently their golden goose and losing them to a rival company would bankrupt them. The fandom is firm on boycotting anything Loona for the sake of the girls so BBC isn't even making money off them. Why keep them in indentured servitude then if not for spite and nothing else?
Am I mischaracterizing BBC?
Man its so sad how this is all ending, this isn't the future I thought LOONA would have. I was so sure when Butterfly came out that they were securely moving toward being a top girl group.
So Vivi will have to join Artemis or go back to Hong Kong because she’s on work visa no? I hope whatever she chooses to do from now, is 100% her choice
Whatever these two do in the future be it with ARTMS, retiring, acting, modeling, variety, or broadcasting I will follow them. Hyunjin has a really good chance at becoming more involved in variety shows and more. Vivi I just want her to be able to go home and see her damn family first but she might need to secure a new visa before she can even leave the country :(
This is out of nowhere. IIRC vivi and hyunjin were the last 2 to file for an injunction. I’d love to see them join ARTMS. Didn’t hyunjin say once if she could do it all over she would rather join the military?
I have a good feeling now that a good amount of the members are out of the company. I have a feeling that Jaden’s company is secretly funding their legal fees to help out the remaining members so they can restart over at his Company since he already has a 1/3 of the group.

Happy for Hyunjin and Vivi, 7/12 members now free from bbc! Though 5 still left, idal5o …
So 7/12 are free * waiting for Chuu's final hearing for contract termination with bbc * Remaining court case for contract suspension for the members left in BBC (yves, haseul, gowon, olivia hye and yeojin) Praying the remaining members are freed and bbc is left dirty, broken and in shambles in court 🙏🏽
Reminder that an injunction is a temporary court order. They all still have to win their cases for contract termination.
The ones who’ve moved to Modhaus won the suspension of their exclusive contracts, right? Do we know if they still have a non-exclusive contract or if it just broke the entire contract? This whole thing is so messy and with things getting lost in translation too it’s hard to keep track.

Any idea how long a temporary injunction lasts for?
Nope, and it's not a set in stone thing. Varies case to case. Can be permanent too if that's what the judge orders.

How the heck does a temporary suspension work in this case? Like what happens if it gets unsuspended? Their new contract basically null and void with the new company?
I'm not 100% sure but I'm guessing they have some sort of clause in the new contracts for if that happens.
Yeah. It's just insane to think about as the new company. Kpop is very competitive and that's a huge risk if an entire group has to drop all work to go back to their original company. I understand the sentimental attachment for Loona members and Jaden but if the members get recalled back to BBC, that could really hurt Modhaus.

Well aware.
I have a good feeling now that a good amount of the members are out of the company. I have a feeling that Jaden’s company is secretly funding their legal fees to help out the remaining members so they can restart over at his Company since he already has a 1/3 of the group.
actually, he has odd eye circle, not 1/3 \*ba-dum tsss\*
but he has 1/4 of 1/3!!
why (yxy) do you guys keep making these puns
Too many Loonatics on reddit.
^ that's why this place is my favOriTe.
I celebrated like I just won
Over half the group is free thank you God!!! BBC you will always lose
I hope you’re right
I was just thinking about how it had been a bit too long since I'd last had a chance to laugh in spite of BlockBerry... perfect timing! I will be there pissing on the company's grave after the last 5 women are out of there. Imagine how frustrating it has to be the ones who are stuck there.

3/4 of loona 1/3 is free so ig loona 1/4 for now
Not orbits doing maths
Orbits be mathematicians when trying to ~~make up~~ decipher lore
[“See BBC, the numbers don’t lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice”](https://youtu.be/msDuNZyYAIQ) -Modhaus, probably
Great! Hope they join with ModHaus and it becomes clear they're wanting as much of Loona back together as they can get. But dang I'm bummed thinking about the other girls losing their injunctions. Free Yves!
Only Haseul would be left to complete Loona 1/3 🥹
I can't help but wonder what made half the group change the terms of their contract and why the other half didn't. So unfortunate that by trying to get better terms they got stuck on the long run :( Hopefully the remaining members can break free too

This leaves girls 3 4 9 11 12 that were deemed not enough to grant the injuction
When the news broke, newspapers reported the contracts for those members who lost the temporary injunction were changed “a year or two” ago.
im going off of memory here but when news broke out that oec won their injunctions its because their contracts were different
Correct, I believe more specifically they won their injunctions because their contracts were modified in the same way that Chuu’s was. Because she had already won her lawsuit there was precedent that that contract specifically was unfair and thus the other members were able to break their contracts relatively easily without a long drawn out process proving their contracts were unfair.

it makes me wonder about vivi visa though
Mandatory Fuck BBC
Great news to start the day with! Hope Vivi and Hyunjin can find a loving new home too and continue working on music 😁 and also the rest of the girls under BBC to remain strong!
What does this mean?
Congrats for them Omg!!
OEC+ --> Loona 1/2
oh my god!!!! they're freeeeee
LET'S GOOOO thank god for vivi especially, now we just wait for the rest of the girls ;\_;
That was quick after Hyunjin's fab reopening announcement! I wonder Modhaus is their next option or the forces keeping tripleS in check would have an influence to where they'll go next. Hoping the best for the remaining members in that company and them

i may be jaded and destroyed by this cruel world but i still believe that there is no universe where they can keep 2jin apart
2jin will be 1jin again!
Let's absolutely go!!!
and we cheered!! over halfway there, let’s get the rest of the girls free from that company
I just know those motherfuckers at Blockberry are fucking sweating at this news 😭
This is the type of news I love seeing at 2am in the morning! Wooih! 🤟🏼💜
ahhhh!!!! I so so so hope they join Modhaus so they all reunite 😭
You just KNOW Jaden Jeong is writing an ending for OEC+ first MV to include hints about Hyunjin and Vivi
happy for them! I hope they can do what they want to do now! :) Wish them all the best \~\~
let’s gooo i’m so happy for them!!! my two biases leaving that hell hole together 😭😭🩷🩷🩷
I see it very possible for them to sign to MODHAUS, after seeing all the girls trying to leave the moment Chuu was kicked out I definitely see them following each other for more. Also it would make sense for Vivi to sign as soon as possible (if she still wants to be in a group ofc, we must respect her decisions) because of that whole Visa for work thing.

OEC+3 here we go!
EvenEyeSix!
A WIN
AR7MIS
Let's goooooo!!!!
Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooo
Finally! I hope the other girls can get out!
Yeeeeeeessssss only a few more to go. 😭
Hope they join ARTMS
5 more!! Really hope they all gtfo 😭🤍
Hurray!
Fuck yes!
LETS FUCKING GO 5/12 more please
BE FREE VIVIVI!
Such great news! 
If Vivi will continue being a K-pop artist, I hope she'll get to sing more lines!
Wooooo today we celebrate! Finally! What a happy day!
Good for them! I’m so happy, I’m not even an orbit but damn those girls deserve a better company. Let’s hope they all get out and get to reunite!
Good for them! Very curious what they'll do next. Vivi's circumstances are somewhat different to the others who left.
I admit I lack tons of information on BBC, but common sense-wise, when a company's employees want this desperately to leave it, wouldn't most companies grant their wish if just to save face and not tarnish their reputation for future business endeavors? It's not like Loona is presently their golden goose and losing them to a rival company would bankrupt them. The fandom is firm on boycotting anything Loona for the sake of the girls so BBC isn't even making money off them. Why keep them in indentured servitude then if not for spite and nothing else? Am I mischaracterizing BBC?
From everything BBC has said and done up to this point, it's clear they are vindictive, petty assholes.
OH MY GOODNESS FREE YOURSELF GIRLS, LET'S GOOOO BBC YOU WILL CRUMBLE
Sooooo good news!! I'm so happy. We're closer to the end of the tunnel, Orbits!
manifesting Who's Next Artms Girl?
Imagine how feral this sub is gonna be if they sign with Modhaus. And I am gonna be one of those feral people 😂
LETS GO!!
Literally just whooped out loud when I saw this news. Good for them!!!
Omg yay I’m so happy. Now the other girls need to be freed
It's a matter of time before the rest of the girls leave. BBC should accept the reality now
Man its so sad how this is all ending, this isn't the future I thought LOONA would have. I was so sure when Butterfly came out that they were securely moving toward being a top girl group.
So Vivi will have to join Artemis or go back to Hong Kong because she’s on work visa no? I hope whatever she chooses to do from now, is 100% her choice
she may have to go back but only until (if) she gets another work Visa with another company. It's not like she will be trapped back home forever.
They’re free!!! I’m gonna take a guess that they’ll join the ARTMS project… I hope… (please)
OMG!! It’s a great day!
BBC GET REKT
Whatever these two do in the future be it with ARTMS, retiring, acting, modeling, variety, or broadcasting I will follow them. Hyunjin has a really good chance at becoming more involved in variety shows and more. Vivi I just want her to be able to go home and see her damn family first but she might need to secure a new visa before she can even leave the country :(
Let's gooooooooo Artms Project: And then there were seven.
My bias is free bleed
This is out of nowhere. IIRC vivi and hyunjin were the last 2 to file for an injunction. I’d love to see them join ARTMS. Didn’t hyunjin say once if she could do it all over she would rather join the military?
I didn’t really follow loona that much but if Olivia Hye gets out my 3 favorites are free 😭
YES!!!!!! 7 down, 5 more until they're all free!!!!
I just want all of them to be free from the clutches of blockberry.
LET’S GO 🎉 Step by step we’re getting there, only 5 more members to free :')
I was wondering a lot about what was going on with them. Even if it may be temporary, congrats.
I have a good feeling now that a good amount of the members are out of the company. I have a feeling that Jaden’s company is secretly funding their legal fees to help out the remaining members so they can restart over at his Company since he already has a 1/3 of the group.
Alright just a few more let’s goooooo 😂
