From the wiki entry about the Chuu situation:
[About nine of the remaining members suing to terminate their contracts,]
"BlockBerry Creative gave their position, saying 'we found that these claims were baseless.' However, almost no one believes this."

"Infinite Challenge has a moment for everything"
(T/N: A variety show. Same joke as having a Simpsons moment for everything)
- In the scene the guy's saying that you can't have evidence for something you didn't even do

Amusing things on the side about all this stuff lately:
1. There's someone on the Luna server on Maplestory using the megaphone (which sends the message to everyone online in the server), telling BBCreative CEO Lee Jongmyeong to pay back 30B KRW (the taxes he's delinquent on)

[ENG] Munhwa News article excerpt:
PD for EBS show "The Dreamers" supports Chuu; already knew about Chuu's prior lawsuit; has a hard time believing the agency; no screentime changes for Chuu are planned

On "Blind" (anonymous SNS that only shows your employer)
"The agency is painting Chuu as someone loathsome. They didn't even give Chuu a manager, to the point that she was taking taxis. Due to payment settlement issues, they're making a media play."
341
Investigator: But to see that she's gotten none of that money, you can't help but to say out loud: isn't there a problem here?
Host: You know, her talking about payments on a show, do you think the agency tried to discourage her from this sort of behavior?
342
And on another show she mentioned not receiving any income for the year before.
Everyone. This Ms. Chuu here has done advertisements for a beverage, promotion for the ocean, chicken. Bank card. Ramen. Education platform. She's had countless appearances so you'd expect money,
343
Host: Okay. So the 3 key points to check out for this situation.
1) Paid 0 KRW?
Investigator panelist: Typically, if I ask you if you're being paid, if you are, you just say: yeah? nothing out of the ordinary with getting paid.
But when Defconn asked her, she said "no, not yet~"
344
Host to the law panelist: So of the 12 members, 1 is out, and 9 remaining are suing for contract terminations, isn't this essentially a disbandment for the group?
345
Reporter: But there's a new update as well - other than Hyunjin and Vivi, the other 9 members are in a lawsuit to terminate their contracts.
Host: Oh really?
Reporter: Yes (she quotes the report: due to breach of mutual trust)
* [ENG] Full report: twitter.com/gointosubbit/s…
346
Host: When an agency uses a term like "expulsion" they have to bring forth details of the situation, don't they?
Reporter panelist: Yes. So the producers were curious about the details of this "power trip" and called to investigate, but got no answer.
347
Psych panelist: But I do remember encouraging her and saying that I think she has other concerns she hasn't shared. but since this was last year I think she was facing this issue on her own. So I hope the truth comes out.
348
Host: Cried, in front of you?
Psych panelist: We were recording, and her tears started coming out. And I don't think that was at all a lie.
349
After her aforementioned analysis, the panelist had told Chuu that it is quite a hard occupation to be an idol in your 20s, and you miss out on a lot in that timespan, and Chuu cried hard when hearing that
350
So though she doesn't know the details of the issue, people around Chuu saying that she's not that kind of a person, she understands what sort of nuance this entails.
Members support her too (she quotes Hyunjin asking for people to support Chuu)
