Is Chuu Not Included in LOONA's Group Chat? Fans Raise Concerns

The latest message of K-pop girl group LOONA's member Chuu is raising concerns among fans as it seems that Chuu was intentionally not notified about the group activities.

On September 25, a post titled, 'What's really going on with Chuu?' went viral among K-pop fans.

According to the post, Chuu seemingly did not receive any notification about LOONA's upcoming world tour schedule from the agency, while other members explained that they had already received information about the tour.

While interacting with her fans via 'Fab', an online fan messaging service, Chuu said, "They (the agency) didn't give me any notices about attending the schedule, so I'm sad. I miss you a lot."
When a fan asked LOONA's another member YeoJin about the schedule, YeoJin replied, "Yes, the announcement was given through LOONA's group chat with all twelve members, so I already knew. I'm super excited!"

As the screenshots of the messages spark concerns and speculations that Chuu was intentionally left out, Chuu shared another message to clarify the situation.
Chuu wrote, "Just because a schedule is uploaded doesn't mean I can participate in all of them. The company needs to confirm and then send confirmation to me. Even if the schedule is shared, I don't know if I'm participating in it or not."

Back in June, LOONA's management agency Blockberry Creative announced that Chuu won't be able to participate in LOONA's upcoming world tour, as she already had confirmed schedules for the latter half of this year.
Meanwhile, the members of LOONA―except for Chuu―are scheduled to hold '2022 LOONA 1st WORLD TOUR [LOONATHEWORLD] IN SEOUL' at SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium on October 15 to 16.
