Chuu emerges victorious in the second trial
On March 8, the 7th Civil Division of the Seoul High Court once again sided with the plaintiff, Chuu, in the second trial of her lawsuit against BlockBerryCreative. The court's ruling indicated that they found the conclusion of the first trial to be reasonable.
In December 2022, Chuu initiated a lawsuit against her former agency, BlockBerryCreative, seeking to invalidate her exclusive contract due to issues such as unfair profit distribution and a breakdown of trust. Initially, the court attempted mediation in March 2023, but no agreement was reached between the parties. In August of the same year, Chuu secured a favorable ruling in the first trial. Despite BlockBerryCreative's appeal against the initial ruling, the outcome remained unchanged in the appeal case. Presently, Chuu is actively promoted under her new agency, ATRP.
