the loona situation

there are some things that i think need to be said in the wake of the dispatch chuu article, and that i haven't seen anyone else directly address.

tldr for those who didnt see: loona had a system with blockberry where they shared costs equally, but revenue 70-30 in bbc's favor. this means that if the cost was $100, and the revenue was $100, loona and bbc each paid $50, but bbc earned $70 and loona earned $30, so loona went $20 more in debt to bbc despite the project recouping all of its expenses. these numbers only get worse the higher the cost/revenue ratio is. loona even pays bbc if there is zero revenue, because they get loona's portion of the cost.

functionally, this means that loona stays in debt. forever. according to bbc's numbers, the loona members - even after all of loona's successes and the fact that it makes a net gain now - are all still around $150,000 in debt to the company after 5 years. this is in addition to the other abuses standard to the idol industry, like starvation and mental abuse.

what i want to talk about is this: a series of facts.

1. many of the girls' families were concerned about the promises bbc made to their trainees and thought loona was a scam at best and a trafficking scheme at worst.

2. yves was promised debut within weeks of joining bbc. olivia hye trained for one day. loona 1/3 was flown all over the world for teeny tiny teaser videos. all of this was pre-debut. many of them talk about it seeming too good to be true.

3. go won and olivia hye have admitted they were already starstruck by older members of loona like heejin before even considering joining bbc. they saw their ads at the bus stop on the way to school. they wanted badly to be friends with them.

4. all contracts are individual. any revenue from one girl was given solely to her and applied solely to her own debt.

4a. chuu is the only member who's escaped her trainee debt. her revenue was not applied to anyone else's debts.

6. when a member is in debt to the company at the end of her contract, she can be compelled to renew to pay it back.

7. loona had the most expensive predebut in kpop history.

8. of the 12 members, only haseul, vivi, jinsoul, and yves were over south korea's age of majority — 19 in international age — when they debuted.

8a. of these 4, only vivi, jinsoul, and yves were 20. haseul had turned 19 less than four months ago. 9. kim lip was 18 when she debuted with 'eclipse.' chuu was 18 when she debuted with 'heart attack.' choerry was 17 when she debuted with 'love cherry motion.' go won was 17 when she debuted with 'one and only.' hyunjin was 16 when she debuted with 'around you.' olivia hye was 16 when she debuted with 'egoist.' heejin was 15 when she debuted with 'vivid.'

9a. yeojin was 14 years old when she debuted with 'kiss later'.

i'm begging at this point.

do not support loona's next comeback.

BOYCOTT BBC

loona is 12. bbcs words against chuu are defamation and slanderous. BBC is the abuser. NOT chuu. it was NEVER chuu. kim jiwoo has been at the hands of their abuse since she was SIXTEEN.

BOYCOTTING BBC INCLUDES BOYCOTTING LOONA CONTENT. heres how to boycott:

- avoid streaming music videos / songs on ANY platform (spotify, apple music, youtube, etc.)

- delete superstar loona

- do not buy ANY merchandise

i also strongly reccomend doing this for other BBC artists to avoid giving BBC ANY support.

CHUUJUSTICE on TWITTER is a team of Orbits hoping to start a boycott of BBC in protest of the wrongful removal of Chuu.

A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF HOW BBC ABUSE LOONA & THEIR STAFF + PROOF

thank you to sirenyves for this compilation.

BBC has underpaid their staffs, starved their artists, overworked everyone, etc. for a company that "cares" about their staffs state and wants to prevent them from being abused, they sure seem to be keen on being the abuser.

BBC CLAIMING CHUU IS ABUSIVE HAS BEEN CONTERCLAIMED BY MANY PEOPLE. here are some accounts from people who have worked with chuu, and their support for her.

1. FORMER CHUU CAN DO IT WRITER + ANOTHER

2. ANON ON DCINSIDE

3. PHOTOGRAPHER WHO WORKED WITH LOONA

4. ANON JOBKOREA EMPLOYEE

and finally; PLEASE SUPPORT CHUU.

as stated by hyunjin on fab:

"Chuu unnie's heart is probably hurting more than anyone's right now. Please root for & love her lots.."

chuu is suffering the most. please give her the love, support, and courage she needs.

Flip That Loona Collage

Text underneath (by me): "One humid summer day they met at the old oak"

I was going for a childhood friends old photo vibe if that makes sense?

Frankly it's a crime that these weren't official concept photos

Listened to "Birth" by ARTMS and let me just say, it's a great song! I did not expect such a dark song from them, but it's so cool! The song definitely has that ~ LOONA sound ~. I LOVE their vocals in this (literally angelic) and the mixing has certainly gotten better since Air Force One. The music video is drop dead gorgeous (LOONA Print!!!) and oh, the lore implications. I adore the slighty creepy and very weird vibes of the drawings, it's something I'm really into lately.

I generally love the whole vibe of this and I am very excited for the upcoming pre-release singles and the eventual full comeback.

#i wish they'd done the single teasers (flower rythm and candy crush as well) in this drawing style #and not with obvius ai art. it could've been a really cool motif throughout the mv's but who knows maybe the drawings will show up again #i just wish they'd done the teasers like that too #also i watched their mv reaction vid and lippie's hair looks so pretty omg!!! might put my hair up like that later #loona #oec #odd eye circle #1/3 #yyxy #youth youth by young #artms #looss #heejin #hyunjin #haseul #yeojin #vivi #kim lip #jinsoul #choerry #yves #chuu #gowon #huyeju #music #reporting live from circe's island #Spotify

scowling hard as fuck watching roller coaster 60fps trying to figure out hyunjins loonaverse writing

#its mostly a function of having figured out exactly what the point of the character is but trying to sort through #whether im still missing some nuane that would inrease the impact to be in line with the rest of the writing #or if its just a classic moment of a man vastly underestimating the level of contempt women have for men #and writing a whole extra metaphor to explain and introduce themes that were literally instantaneously obvious #just from the later usage of male imagery for jinsoul and yves #altho ig because it came first its a little unfair to criticize it that harshly along those lines #bc its unlikely even he was completely confident in being able to get those characters across as well as the idols ended up managing #which is extremely funny because theyre the two guys who cared the least abotu the lore
