• LOONA's Chuu May Never Be Allowed To Use Her Stage Name "LOONA's Chuu" Ever Again

    Blockberry Creative, the agency that had a feud with LOONA member Chuu over an exclusive contract, sought for a trademark, it was later confirmed.

    On the 4th of last month, Blockberry Creative, LOONA's agency, registered trademark rights for "LOONA's Chuu" with the Korean Intellectual Property Office.

    In 2018, a similar incident occurred at another agency. By the time the agency MBK Entertainment contract ends, T-ara is said to have submitted an information release to the Korean Intellectual Property Office to warn them of the unfairness of the trademark rights that MBK applied for under the name of the "T-ARA" team.

    When their contract with Cube Entertainment expired in 2016, the band "Beast" renamed themselves "Highlight." This is due to Cube's refusal to provide them trademark rights.

    "Why did you only register Chu?" and "Then, Chuu can't use her stage name afterwards?" asked fans of "LOONA" who were aware of Chuu's trademark registration in the online community.

    Chu's motion for an injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract filed against her agency Blockberry Creative in December of last year was recently referenced by the court on March 29th.

    Blockberry Creative hasn't stated its clear viewpoint in this regard.

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
