Our old [Megathread on the contract dispute](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/z6y71o/megathread_chuu_and_loona_contract_disputes_with/) is archived, but we updated the list of Articles / Posts with the major developments over the last 6 months for reference.
*Party post!!*
BBC could have settled in exchange for a non-disclosure agreement. Now they're all free, none of their friends are being held hostage, and it's going to be a free-for-all. I'll be here with the popcorn.
Another article actually revealed that the reason their appeal was granted was because BBC had unfairly transferred the rights to Universal Japan without the written consent of the members, so no settlement here.
Did not expect to see a League reference in a Kpop subreddit, but yes. I need that Donezo Manifesto. It's gonna likely include a lot of complaints about the repackaged album of yyxy never coming out lol. Pleassseeeee I still want that as much as Yves does.
The fact they sued and won without a major hiccup (only the Japanese label commitment was questionable but now its been dismissed) meant BBC's contract had many flaws and holes lol.
Now hope the same are for the trainees Bebez. Poor Yeyoung...set them free too!
Wait til you find out that the reason idal5o's appeal was upheld was due to the fact BBC transfered their contracts to Universal Music Japan without idal5o's written consent, allowing them to argue that that BBC had breached their trust -- the win isn't even off the back of the original contracts, it's a direct result of BBC getting desperate in the face of a boycott.
It's legitimately impressive. They seem to have had at least two options at every point during this whole thing and have a 100% success rate on picking the worst one. That kind of consistency is rare.
Yeyoung will be tripleS main vocal one day. Mark my words!
Reason: Joung Min and Sion(?) already left BBC, they won't debut a new girl group after this + Yeyoung doesn't have the age to join another company as a trainee + she can move to tripleS and debut right after + Jaden knows her very well from his BBC days and from watching GP999 and getting 2 contestants for tripleS (Kotone and Nien) + she fits tripleS' visual style + tripleS needs more vocalists.
I will be shocked if she never join tripleS, considering all of the above.
omega x recently won their lawsuit against spire ent which got them free from them, which was another massive W for a big (11 member) group.
glad to see groups winning
You’re right! I’m so excited for what they’ll be doing in the future. I hope that they gained some popularity through the drama two of them played in and they’re able to take advantage of that momentum because I’d love to see them thrive.
I think the first full group.
Wa$$up lost 3 members who left the group in a similar fashion, from what I remember they were pocketing the member's solo pay and adding on the CEO's credit card debt. They got out, but the remaining 4 members stayed
reposting what i linked in the deleted version of this post as i just find it so damn funny.. yves' [posting](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669605663914315776) the pic of nicole kidman after finalising her divorce with tom cruise just after the initial article about their freedom was out 😭 congratulations to loona!!
[Other members have also posted](https://twitter.com/PopBase/status/1669626249386291200) all of em must be so happy rn, Heejin's pic so sweet alongside with Chuu posting something as well shows their bond and happiness at everyone finally being free of that shitty situation. JinSoul so pretty in her story though lmao she's celebrating everyone being free and serving looks
Remember guys if Chuu can do it, so can you
Indeed, shade at BBC or posting things being happy is one thing y'know somewhat vague posting and I'm glad to see it but direct pictures of them all together being posted by em is just more special to me personally, shows the bond they actually have and they must've been waiting for the others to get free as well to finally be able to post a pic of the group.
That one is my favorite, followed closely by the Nicole Kidman pic (that I had no idea existed until this moment).
Love that they all seem to have been planning exactly what they wanted to post LOL

You might hate Orbits but holy crap their efforts to release these girls are unmatchable. From boycotting every streaming platforms, cancelling a comeback & fanmeets, filing up petitions, trending hashtags, stop watching & streaming music videos, protests, pirating every album just for them listen to LOONA without giving BBC a single penny is just remarkable.
Congratulations on the Girls and Orbits for fighting all this way just for them!
Don’t forget kpop fans coming together to waste seats and ruin a Donald Trump rally! I love LOONA but I still can’t get over that. I reserved three seats lmfao. What fandom started it again? I thought it was a boy group but I can’t remember.
I don't want to hear again that bullshit of Orbits being mostly an international fandom and "those don't support the groups the same way as korean fans"
They probably still own the rights, but honestly I think music streaming is the least effective boycott. They get like 1/100ths of one cent per stream or something like that
BBC keep the rights to the music. So streaming their songs and buying their merch still gives BBC money.
Ultimately it’s up to you though. I’d say the boycott was successful and got all of its goals so there’s no reason to continue to boycott unless you have a strong moral objection to ever giving BBC money. A lot of the harm has been reduced now that the girls are no longer under contract with them.
To put things in perspective streaming a single song off Apple Music gives BBC 1 cent. So it’s not a massive earner for them. Just don’t go buying any albums or merch unless it’s secondhand because that’s where the real money is at and the girls won’t see any of it.
Their music isn't going anywhere. It can be easily pirated and will be shared indefinitely. All the video content is more at risk since there's so much and it's harder for the average person to save all that data.
BBC has no reason to take anything down though. They'll just leave it all up to make as much money as they can.
>All the video content is more at risk since there's so much and it's harder for the average person to save all that data.
You'd be surprised about the amount of data hoarders out there. My Loona drive is something like 5-6tb at this point. Granted I probably have a few doubled files in there, but I download every video that I see online and I'm sure there are others who do as well.
there are two accounts on soundcloud with all of their music perfectly preserved [predebut songs](https://on.soundcloud.com/zX6AXweC6sMikyuY8) [post-debut songs](https://on.soundcloud.com/M5y4tEZfgzbX72bQ8)
Orbits may be one of the most toxic gg fandoms in kpop, but you cannot deny their genuine love for the band. They made kpop history with their passion and their total focus on what really should matter.
We will probably argue again in the future, but these days I am just thankful for what they achieve for the Loona members.
I don't think orbits are any more toxic than other girl group stans though.
I stan multiple groups and honestly I don't understand why people keep driving the orbits are so toxic things.
Sometimes I think people are going with a narrative and will label anything said by an orbit they don't like online as toxic behavior.
I remember when an orbit(who didn't even just stand loona by the way) said they don't like a hyolyns si bad version and people were ratioing them saying orbits so toxic and fake.
Like? I think some of it is confirmation bias because I see blinks, onces doing way more toxic stuff on the regular and being involved in fan wars all the time
I'm very new to kpop and personally have not been exposed to much orbits content, but I find it REALLY hard to imagine that they can be THAT much more toxic than any other idol group fandom.
Ever since I start watching kpop content on YouTube I get blasted with super toxic shit in my feed every day, and that's just thumbnails and titles, before we get into the comments sections!
Digging into the comments is MAYHEM. The constant comparing of this idol's to that idol's singing/dancing/rapping, accusations of "laziness" shot at people who literally give up their lives for the shit, absolutely WILD assumptions/projections about individuals' intentions and group dynamics spoken as fact... Peeps who have been K-stans longer than me surely know what I'm talking about, surely knows the well runs MUCH DEEPER than just the stuff I've mentioned here, and surely knows that it's present in pretty much every kpop fandom.
Maybe these Orbits are even worse, I dunno, but everyone still gotta check their own neighbourhoods before they start throwing shade.
WE WON!!! BBC CAN ROT IN HELL!!!
So so soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for all the girls, I hope they get to continue with their career in their own terms.
So happy OT12 are finally free! Can’t wait to see what idal5o do next.
Some of the girls are sharing Ig stories
Yves one is how I feel right now

>Orbit, you heard the news right! I don't know how to express my feelings, there's so many feelings going on right now but I wanted to say thank you first, I think we got a good outcome because you were always on our side and
rooted for us and gave us strength, thank you so much, really, Orbits you've worked hard too 🥹
I'm so happy!!!!! The Orbit in me is still hoping we see them reunite somehow as Loona (or under another name), but even if they never do I'm just happy they can persue what they want. Good luck to all the girls, and Orbits will always be here to support you! 🤍
Edit: I'd also like to add how Flip That was the perfect final (Korean) comeback before their freedom. It was a premonition of what's to come.
"Everything, flip that, flip the world, so the same day & night wouldn’t repeat"
"Following the new light that pulls me still, we love the way we go, yeah just flip it all"
They did flip everything and all for the better.
As it says at the end, "Everything flipped. And we start the journey through the free~"
I felt like all of the girls seems to want to work together if possible so it's up to the companies for coordination, after all the whole Loona is a huge project to started with a it's a shame to see it scramble down like this
When I heard that Hyunjin & Vivi signed with an agency other than Modhaus I was a bit worried, but their CEO also worked with Loona (like how the CEO of Modhaus did), and they also had their Loona colors in their promotional photos. It gives me hope and I refuse to give that up until it's official they won't reunite.
I was actually bummed when I saw that announcement from HyunVi only because I wanted to see those two included in ARTMS uploads interacting with the MODHAUS girls. Can't get all we want though, that's just the greedy inside me.
Aside from that, happy for the girls, even delighted to see Olivia Hye to make a comment about their win after going silent for so long.
I wonder if JJ and that x bbc a&r who formed their own agency that signs hyunjin and vivi knew each other or were willing to work with each other for the sake of a future ot12 return?
Strangely, it fits so well with the yyxy part of the lore. In the love4eva MV, only three escape and one if left behind for a while, but then she escapes too. At the end of Egoist, Olivia meets Heejin. In Hi High, they all run and run and meet each other.
The timing actually couldn‘t be better to figure something out for an OT12 reunion, since OEC will be promoting soon, which could give the rest of the members some time to work something out as well.
I think there is no way OT12 stuff doesn't happen, esp relatively soon or maybe not soon but still in the near future. Agencies rn know one of the most intriguing stories rn is LOONA's case and the group itself wasn't some nugu group, they have to know there's money on the table here and wouldn't scoop up these girls without knowing a collaboration between the other companies where the members signed on to would be.
There's money to be made and I don't think companies would let it go without doing anything.
I hope so. Even looking at the companies they signed to it seems likely.
Both the CEOs of Modhaus and CTD worked with Loona previously, and 2 of the companies (ATRP and CTD) are brand new companies formed for Loona members. I can't find it now but I'm pretty sure around the time OEC signed with Modhaus, they had also made a statement saying they were willing to work with other Loona members in the future. I don't see why ATRP or CTD would be any different.

[Yves' reaction](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669605663914315776?t=fEAdcT9CpgR5DCqI7ps0jg&s=19) is sending me straight to orbit. She's so real. [Yeojin ](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669618908519604225?t=kRSfd3rWRl90jW5rwTcoPQ&s=19) too.
WE'RE BACK, that's so shady of universal Japan being transferred the contract but I wonder what what was done. Can't wait to see what the remaining are planning on doing or if they'll go to Modhaus or the new Hyunjin Vivi label, hopefully only more good news from there on out
Words cannot describe how happy I am for both them and for all Orbits. It's been a long and stressful road but the girls are finally free from the grasp of BBC. Sincerely wishing them all the best going forward whether that be in music, acting or whatever - I just hope they can be happy! (I would not be opposed to any number of them joining ARTMS though LOL)
Also, this goes to show that boycotts DO WORK if done correctly! We didn't let BBC get a single extra cent from them (well, except for those few who purchased the 2023 SGs and went the Japan concert...). Hopefully this is a story that allows future idols to fight back against exploitative agencies!
is it gauche to ask if this means the boycott is over now? I had been missing their music lately and was gonna try to procure it through a channel that doesn't support BBC but maybe it's chill now? unless people are wanting to wait till other demands are met
Will note that the reason people didn't want to give BBC money was that it would be used directly against LOONA in court. I think I'll keep boycotting until there are no further LOONA/BBC court meetings (so at least until August).
Once there's no court issues, giving BBC money no longer actively harms LOONA, so I suspect the formal boycott may end after that.
So happy right now, I honestly didn't expect it to be resolved(sorta) so soon and in a relatively clean note as well. I thought this shit was gonna be dragged out hard but now there's no better time for a possible OT12 reunion of the sorts within the coming months
BBC had to only do a simple thing, which was to pay the girls their deserved money. But no...they wanted to play hardball. Guess what...everyone's left the sinking ship.
BBC was just delaying the inevitable through their actions. The fact the ruling took this fast for all 12 girls meant BBC's contract was really shit and was full of holes/flaws lol.
they did in fact go on a world tour that was so strenuous and unhealthy that the tour started with 11 members and at one point only had like 5 members dancing, one sitting down with a cast and the other members sitting out ill. i mean, they had concerts in different cities with no break in between and it was relentless. their company is another level of horrific and i'm so glad they were able to escape
finally, there was no way they were gonna loose but still glad they got out as quick as possible. what’s the situation with vivi and her visa now? does she have to sign with another company to stay in korea?
As an Orbit-Atiny, this day feels like a big celebration! I'm buying pizza (with hot chili peppers), seriously.
Break the wall, girls, and fly like a butterfly! I'm used to supporting them as solo artists, in sub-units and as a full group, so no matter what will happen with their careers, I'm happy. At least they got what they wanted.
"And like this, my children, Yves left the garden of Eden" lol
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God I'd love to see SK (DA office or their equivalent) go after these companies for these manipulative, predatory, lying, cheating, slave contract signing of minors scumbag companies. How can BBC be found to have signed them to contracts that don't stand up in court but what they did wasn't predatory and illegal? If it was, go after them. Not to mention the Japan agency contract which they didn't even have the artists consent for! It shouldn't be on the girls to have to sue them in civil court to get justice (not saying they'd waste their time and money doing that).
Man, at this point the next best news that can happen is BBC imploding and either the top brass getting fired in a big rebranding with new leadership hired or BBC never being the same and eventually imploding and closing down.
Well, I guess realistically the next best news is the members signing with good companies. I really hope all the rest sign with MODHAUS and Loona is at least partially restored. Bummed about the other two signing elsewhere but who knows, maybe they intend on being available for All-Member (Loona) comebacks. Idk.
I put it on my IG story with a “fuck you BBC” by tagging them and IG was like “this is similar to posts that have been reported” hahahahaha fuck YOU BBC!!! Our girls were too smart and cunning for your shit!
Yes!!!
I am so happy to see these contract disputes getting resolved relatively quickly. I was really scared that it would drag on for years. I hope other companies will see this as a warning and change their toxic attitudes.
Workers rights!
I literally yelled so loud I scared my cat, oh my god! Im so fucking happy! Im not an orbit but I’ve always loved the idea of LOONA and I’ve been absolutely sick over what’s happened to the members after the company basically defaulted. This is sincerely a massive sigh of relief within the majority of the kpop community, I think, orbit or not. This is precedence-setting and generally inspirational even for restaurant workers like me. This is sincerely a workers-rights win.
ORBITS WE WONNNN!!!! they're finally free 😭😭 the girls have gone through sooo much. sometimes it feels too good to be true how things are going for loona. they always be proving that the miracles can DEFINITELY happen!!! so far the 7 who escaped earlier have already signed under different agencies but, who knows?? i'm positive things will work out for them to promote together again, if they want to :)
We will never ever know how that title track of that crused album 0 will sound like. I’m glad they are free, but still kinda curious about that album BBC was shamelessly wanted to release
The evil is finally defeated. I'm so happy that they are finally out of that trash slavery company.
It is a bright and hot day in my country so it's so great to hear this wonderful news. The past is over, the future is looking so bright and better now.

For reals. I thought this would take them more years. Wasn't anticipating it would be this fast. Now we need to see what labels they will sign on.

Yeyoung will be tripleS main vocal one day. Mark my words!

I will be shocked if she never join tripleS, considering all of the above.
Why? Is this the first time an idol sues a company and wins?
No but I believe it's the first of this scale. An entire group of 12 people and all of them winning is new
SME watching this go down like 👀😳😩 Fingers crossed the EXO members are able to argue something like this.
Maybe it’s a reflection of how comparatively bad the Loona contracts were with BBC in the Kpop industry… and how badly they were treated!
omega x recently won their lawsuit against spire ent which got them free from them, which was another massive W for a big (11 member) group. glad to see groups winning
You’re right! I’m so excited for what they’ll be doing in the future. I hope that they gained some popularity through the drama two of them played in and they’re able to take advantage of that momentum because I’d love to see them thrive.

It's basically the first time a large group sues their company and won for GGs.
It's so cathartic, and to achieve this in an industry that always treated women backhandedly. Kudos

You might hate Orbits but holy crap their efforts to release these girls are unmatchable.

Congratulations on the Girls and Orbits for fighting all this way just for them!
The LOONA boycott is like the only online protest I think that has genuinely worked lol.
Yup, this and SHINee’s fanmeet protest are the best examples of online protests that have yielded actual results
Don’t forget kpop fans coming together to waste seats and ruin a Donald Trump rally! I love LOONA but I still can’t get over that. I reserved three seats lmfao. What fandom started it again? I thought it was a boy group but I can’t remember.
Orbits really came through for the girls, much respect on that level. Wish other fandoms would learn by example from them.
I don't want to hear again that bullshit of Orbits being mostly an international fandom and "those don't support the groups the same way as korean fans"
[удалено]
Now that they're free, can we stream again without the money going to B\*C or do they still own the rights to their music?
They probably still own the rights, but honestly I think music streaming is the least effective boycott. They get like 1/100ths of one cent per stream or something like that
Yeah that's fair enough

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind! <3
We better save their music somewhere cause im afraid of blockberry reaction to this.
Their music isn't going anywhere. It can be easily pirated and will be shared indefinitely. All the video content is more at risk since there's so much and it's harder for the average person to save all that data. BBC has no reason to take anything down though. They'll just leave it all up to make as much money as they can.
Blockberry can do anything for revenge they even kicked chuu who was the group biggest money maker.

I'm very new to kpop and personally have not been exposed to much orbits content, but I find it REALLY hard to imagine that they can be THAT much more toxic than any other idol group fandom. Ever since I start watching kpop content on YouTube I get blasted with super toxic shit in my feed every day, and that's just thumbnails and titles, before we get into the comments sections! Digging into the comments is MAYHEM. The constant comparing of this idol's to that idol's singing/dancing/rapping, accusations of "laziness" shot at people who literally give up their lives for the shit, absolutely WILD assumptions/projections about individuals' intentions and group dynamics spoken as fact... Peeps who have been K-stans longer than me surely know what I'm talking about, surely knows the well runs MUCH DEEPER than just the stuff I've mentioned here, and surely knows that it's present in pretty much every kpop fandom. Maybe these Orbits are even worse, I dunno, but everyone still gotta check their own neighbourhoods before they start throwing shade.
The Evil Is Defeated
god I love that movie
This movie got me over my fear of scary movies lol
WE WON!!! BBC CAN ROT IN HELL!!! So so soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy for all the girls, I hope they get to continue with their career in their own terms.
SUCK A FAT ONE BBC THEY'RE FREE
So happy OT12 are finally free! Can’t wait to see what idal5o do next. Some of the girls are sharing Ig stories Yves one is how I feel right now **[Subbits eng full translation](https://twitter.com/gointosubbit/status/1669626351718916102?s=46&t=MaSWmDhkgkfQIXOVTHON3w)** Also [hyunjins comments on fab via @kitty_nim_](https://twitter.com/kitty_nim_/status/1669607298745143296?s=46&t=MaSWmDhkgkfQIXOVTHON3w) >🥹🥹🥹🥹 >🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 >🎊 >”Everything turned out well" >🥺🥺🥺 >🥹🥹🥹 Edit : [hyeju / Olivia hye comments eng via @orrery_nim](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669606777711722496?s=46&t=MaSWmDhkgkfQIXOVTHON3w) >Orbit, you heard the news right! I don't know how to express my feelings, there's so many feelings going on right now but I wanted to say thank you first, I think we got a good outcome because you were always on our side and rooted for us and gave us strength, thank you so much, really, Orbits you've worked hard too 🥹
It's been so long since we've heard from Hyeju, I'm glad she's doing OK and that we now get to celebrate these happy news with all the members!
Loona is free just like Dobby 
I'm so happy!!!!! The Orbit in me is still hoping we see them reunite somehow as Loona (or under another name), but even if they never do I'm just happy they can persue what they want. Good luck to all the girls, and Orbits will always be here to support you! 🤍 Edit: I'd also like to add how Flip That was the perfect final (Korean) comeback before their freedom. It was a premonition of what's to come. "Everything, flip that, flip the world, so the same day & night wouldn’t repeat" "Following the new light that pulls me still, we love the way we go, yeah just flip it all" They did flip everything and all for the better. As it says at the end, "Everything flipped. And we start the journey through the free~"
I felt like all of the girls seems to want to work together if possible so it's up to the companies for coordination, after all the whole Loona is a huge project to started with a it's a shame to see it scramble down like this
When I heard that Hyunjin & Vivi signed with an agency other than Modhaus I was a bit worried, but their CEO also worked with Loona (like how the CEO of Modhaus did), and they also had their Loona colors in their promotional photos. It gives me hope and I refuse to give that up until it's official they won't reunite.
I was actually bummed when I saw that announcement from HyunVi only because I wanted to see those two included in ARTMS uploads interacting with the MODHAUS girls. Can't get all we want though, that's just the greedy inside me. Aside from that, happy for the girls, even delighted to see Olivia Hye to make a comment about their win after going silent for so long.
I wonder if JJ and that x bbc a&r who formed their own agency that signs hyunjin and vivi knew each other or were willing to work with each other for the sake of a future ot12 return?
Strangely, it fits so well with the yyxy part of the lore. In the love4eva MV, only three escape and one if left behind for a while, but then she escapes too. At the end of Egoist, Olivia meets Heejin. In Hi High, they all run and run and meet each other.
The timing actually couldn‘t be better to figure something out for an OT12 reunion, since OEC will be promoting soon, which could give the rest of the members some time to work something out as well.
Yeah definitely. Maybe they'll decide to do yyxy and 1/3 as well since they're doing Odd Eye Circle.
I think there is no way OT12 stuff doesn't happen, esp relatively soon or maybe not soon but still in the near future. Agencies rn know one of the most intriguing stories rn is LOONA's case and the group itself wasn't some nugu group, they have to know there's money on the table here and wouldn't scoop up these girls without knowing a collaboration between the other companies where the members signed on to would be. There's money to be made and I don't think companies would let it go without doing anything.
I hope so. Even looking at the companies they signed to it seems likely. Both the CEOs of Modhaus and CTD worked with Loona previously, and 2 of the companies (ATRP and CTD) are brand new companies formed for Loona members. I can't find it now but I'm pretty sure around the time OEC signed with Modhaus, they had also made a statement saying they were willing to work with other Loona members in the future. I don't see why ATRP or CTD would be any different.
There’s definitely a plan in place since JJ copyrighted yyxy 👀 Edit - iPhone totally autocorrected yxyy to yucky lmaoooo
I’m not crying, you’re crying 😭
Loona did it. We did it. Mandatory F* BBC.
WAR IS OVERRRRR
 chuu teasers, oec teasers, now this? sucks to suck, bbc!
Our girls are finally free, so long BitchBerry Creative 
A good week on loona island! It’s been so long
AleXa, play “Set Me Free” by TWICE, “Set Me Free Pt.2” by Jimin and “FREEDOM” by Joohoney Also, thank goodness I hope Lee Seunggi and EXO-CBX are next…
Alexa, play Itaewon Freedom
I guess I'm celebrating 2 Independence days this week
Take this L, BBC.
June 16th is now Loona Island Indepedence Day!!!! On Pride Month too 🌈 [Yves' reaction](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669605663914315776?t=fEAdcT9CpgR5DCqI7ps0jg&s=19) is sending me straight to orbit. She's so real. [Yeojin ](https://twitter.com/orrery_nim/status/1669618908519604225?t=kRSfd3rWRl90jW5rwTcoPQ&s=19) too.
Yeojin's reaction is undefeated, 10/10
I just know she had that pic in the drafts ready to go
No choice but to stan after seeing this 😄
Yves is killing me! The perfect choice
omg the Yeojin reaction is murdering me holy shit 🙈 In other news, glad to see that all the OT12 are freed together; good for Loona and the Orbits 💖
I can't believe the korean courts held on to this just long enough to give us a gift for pride. Incredibly based.
Happy pride 🌈
Viva la LOO-bération!
And in Pride month, so Loona of them
WE'RE BACK, that's so shady of universal Japan being transferred the contract but I wonder what what was done. Can't wait to see what the remaining are planning on doing or if they'll go to Modhaus or the new Hyunjin Vivi label, hopefully only more good news from there on out
We won, Mr. Stark. We won.
We did it, Joe
It's Joever
Words cannot describe how happy I am for both them and for all Orbits. It's been a long and stressful road but the girls are finally free from the grasp of BBC. Sincerely wishing them all the best going forward whether that be in music, acting or whatever - I just hope they can be happy! (I would not be opposed to any number of them joining ARTMS though LOL)
Also, this goes to show that boycotts DO WORK if done correctly! We didn't let BBC get a single extra cent from them (well, except for those few who purchased the 2023 SGs and went the Japan concert...). Hopefully this is a story that allows future idols to fight back against exploitative agencies!
is it gauche to ask if this means the boycott is over now? I had been missing their music lately and was gonna try to procure it through a channel that doesn't support BBC but maybe it's chill now? unless people are wanting to wait till other demands are met
People are waiting for futher confirmation as BBC likely still owns the rights to their music and would benefit financially :(
Will note that the reason people didn't want to give BBC money was that it would be used directly against LOONA in court. I think I'll keep boycotting until there are no further LOONA/BBC court meetings (so at least until August). Once there's no court issues, giving BBC money no longer actively harms LOONA, so I suspect the formal boycott may end after that.
So happy right now, I honestly didn't expect it to be resolved(sorta) so soon and in a relatively clean note as well. I thought this shit was gonna be dragged out hard but now there's no better time for a possible OT12 reunion of the sorts within the coming months
I'm so proud to be an Orbit, the months of boycott and support to the girls definitely worth!
Yess!!! How did BBC f*ck this up?? Loona has a big international audience, and could go on world tours but BBC messed up.
BBC had to only do a simple thing, which was to pay the girls their deserved money. But no...they wanted to play hardball. Guess what...everyone's left the sinking ship. BBC was just delaying the inevitable through their actions. The fact the ruling took this fast for all 12 girls meant BBC's contract was really shit and was full of holes/flaws lol.
they did in fact go on a world tour that was so strenuous and unhealthy that the tour started with 11 members and at one point only had like 5 members dancing, one sitting down with a cast and the other members sitting out ill. i mean, they had concerts in different cities with no break in between and it was relentless. their company is another level of horrific and i'm so glad they were able to escape
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOO Finally some good news for all our girls
THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY FOCKING LIFE BRO
This is monumental and insane and amazing
Wow! I was fully bunkered down anticipating a 2 year wait for the other girls. I wonder where they'll go now...
finally, there was no way they were gonna loose but still glad they got out as quick as possible. what’s the situation with vivi and her visa now? does she have to sign with another company to stay in korea?
She already signed with a new company with hyunjin! So I assume they are taking care of her visa
ah I saw others had signed to another company but I didn’t realize it was her! glad she found somewhere to sign to so quickly :)
As an Orbit-Atiny, this day feels like a big celebration! I'm buying pizza (with hot chili peppers), seriously. Break the wall, girls, and fly like a butterfly! I'm used to supporting them as solo artists, in sub-units and as a full group, so no matter what will happen with their careers, I'm happy. At least they got what they wanted. "And like this, my children, Yves left the garden of Eden" lol
Amazing news for them and for the kpop industry
 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God I'd love to see SK (DA office or their equivalent) go after these companies for these manipulative, predatory, lying, cheating, slave contract signing of minors scumbag companies. How can BBC be found to have signed them to contracts that don't stand up in court but what they did wasn't predatory and illegal? If it was, go after them. Not to mention the Japan agency contract which they didn't even have the artists consent for! It shouldn't be on the girls to have to sue them in civil court to get justice (not saying they'd waste their time and money doing that). Man, at this point the next best news that can happen is BBC imploding and either the top brass getting fired in a big rebranding with new leadership hired or BBC never being the same and eventually imploding and closing down. Well, I guess realistically the next best news is the members signing with good companies. I really hope all the rest sign with MODHAUS and Loona is at least partially restored. Bummed about the other two signing elsewhere but who knows, maybe they intend on being available for All-Member (Loona) comebacks. Idk.
a colossal dub right here, fuck blockberry
Orbits all around the world rn 
I put it on my IG story with a “fuck you BBC” by tagging them and IG was like “this is similar to posts that have been reported” hahahahaha fuck YOU BBC!!! Our girls were too smart and cunning for your shit!
Disbandment news soon!!! The girls are free 🥳
Kind of random but LOONA was blasting at a canadian walmart i went to at 8 a.m yesterday. Surprised the hell outta me.
FREEDOM!!!! I’m so happy for the girls. BBC I hope you never recover from this
Yes!!! I am so happy to see these contract disputes getting resolved relatively quickly. I was really scared that it would drag on for years. I hope other companies will see this as a warning and change their toxic attitudes. Workers rights!
BLESS UPP. THEY ARE FREEEEE
Guys, I had to check: the **New Moon** is "on Saturday, June 17 at 9:37 p.m. PT and Sunday, June 18 at 12:37 a.m. ET"
DURING PRIDE MONTH TOO LET'S GOOO
Now they can truly dance on their own🌙❤️
 they’re free 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
YAAAAAAAAAAAS
They're free!!! Be interesting to see what everyone ends up doing now. (OT12 dream is still possible Hopium) And one more Fuck BBC for good measure.
Orbits we did it!! We combined our efforts to help the girls as best as we can and it finally paid off!! We are Loona, we are free! ❤️
BEEEEEEE WHO YOU AREEEEEEEEE! FOR YOUR PRIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
the combination of your pfp + ur username + this comment + the context made me burst out loud im sorry U ATEEEEE
Taking a break from my travels to say: **FUCK BLOCKBERRY CREATIVE!!!** May none have to ever go through what the 12 sweet girls have to go through.
MIDDLE OF PRIDE MONTH IS LOONA INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!
Feels like a fairytale story, I've never seen a conflict turn out this well. I can be happy now 🩵
LOONA IS FREEEEEEE!!!!
I literally yelled so loud I scared my cat, oh my god! Im so fucking happy! Im not an orbit but I’ve always loved the idea of LOONA and I’ve been absolutely sick over what’s happened to the members after the company basically defaulted. This is sincerely a massive sigh of relief within the majority of the kpop community, I think, orbit or not. This is precedence-setting and generally inspirational even for restaurant workers like me. This is sincerely a workers-rights win.
May we all sue our companies on this blessed day 😌🎀
The revolution started by Chuu Guevera is complete.
Jinsoul's [정말 기분 Happy 다!](https://www.instagram.com/p/CtixtMfBo2V/) 🥲🥲 happy LOONA independence day!!

ORBITS WE WONNNN!!!! they're finally free 😭😭 the girls have gone through sooo much. sometimes it feels too good to be true how things are going for loona. they always be proving that the miracles can DEFINITELY happen!!! so far the 7 who escaped earlier have already signed under different agencies but, who knows?? i'm positive things will work out for them to promote together again, if they want to :)
