Haven’t done anything that would be shameful to my fans – Loona Chuu
“As I have not received any contact regarding this series of situations or know anything about them, I’m currently grasping the situation, but what I am sure of is that I haven’t done anything that would be shameful to my fans. In the future, as my position is decided, I will share another statement,” read her post in Korean.

Other fans claimed that the Chuu will always be a member of the group. “Chuu is always the tenth member of the group. Nothing can change that!” wrote another fan.
