Chuu has officially been removed from LOONA.

On November 25, LOONA's label Blockberry Creative confirmed Chuu is no longer a member after multiple rumors and speculation by fans about her pending withdrawal from the girl group. According to the label, Chuu was removed from the group due to her alleged "abuse of power," including her alleged abusive language towards staff. 

Blockberry Creative stated, "We're announcing our artist Chuu has been expelled from LOONA as of November 25, 2022. There were many stories about Chuu, but the company and members of LOONA did not say anything for a time to prevent problems concerning the development of the team and fans. Because of LOONA's affection for the team and consideration of the fans, they tried their best to show good performances and content rather than telling the truth."

The label continued, "We recently investigated Chuu's abuse of power, including abusive language toward our staff. The company's head is currently apologizing and comforting staff. We decided to take responsibility and remove Chuu from LOONA. We sincerely apologize to the fans who've loved and supported LOONA until now and ask for your forgiveness that the 12 members couldn't stay together until the end. We and LOONA will do our best to make sure nothing like this happens in the future."

In related news, there was speculation Chuu would be leaving LOONA after she reportedly set up her own one-man agency late last month.
