Beyond her musical prowess, Chuu has charmed audiences with her unique personality and entertainment sense across various platforms.
She has made appearances on entertainment shows, starred in advertisements, and created YouTube content.
This versatility has heightened the anticipation for her upcoming solo comeback among fans and industry insiders alike.
Tussle with agency
Chuu recently underwent upheaval due to former agency, lawsuits
Notably, the album news comes a month after the ex-LOONA member won her second lawsuit against her previous agency BlockBerry Creative (BBC).
The Seoul High Court's civil division upheld the initial ruling in March that Chuu wasn't legally obligated to fulfill her exclusive contract with BBC.
In December 2022, Chuu filed a lawsuit against BBC to nullify her exclusive contract, citing unfair profit distribution and a loss of trust. This came after BBC's sudden announcement about Chuu's expulsion from LOONA.
