The statements made by the BlockBerry Entertainment instantly became a hot topic worldwide, especially in South Korea, earning comments such as:
- What's wrong with her?
- Abusive words? What kind of agency is this...
- You really want me to believe this??
-
- Nasty for real
- Who the heck would believe this?
- Wow, out of all the celebrity stories that have been posted here, this is the most unrealistic and unbelievable hahahahaha
- Hahahahaha are they for real?
- Does BlockBerry think we're stupid?
- When I said Chuu fighting, I didn't mean literal fighting
- They're really out here writing a novel
- Chuu is literally their cash cow
- Why does this feel like 'if i can't have you, no one else will'
- It's the first time I've seen a company spat out such bullsh*t
- Chuu, fighting!
- You guys are power-hungry and harassing...
- Cover your eyes and don't say anything, please settle the bill
- Even if Chuu made a mistake, what kind of company makes a statement like this??? The announcement was written with so much malice that it is more unbelievable that Chuu is the victim.
- Cheer up, Chuu
- Abuse of power? But you're the ones not paying your staff?
- The agency must have been fooling around. I think there must be a reason for all the screaming. Why are there so many beggar agencies ㅠ Chuu go to a nice place
- BlockBerry let go of their moneymaker???
- Any proof that Chuu did such stuff?
- No matter how bad their situation was, they should've said it was because of personal circumstances. Saying things like this is like advertising that the agency is garbage.
- Should have just said withdrawal, not expulsion
- I'm worried for the other members. At least Chuu got out.
- It's scary that a company can be cruel to an idol like that.
- I feel sorry for Chuuㅠㅠㅠ She is being taken advantage of
- Wow, the greatest garbage company
- It's not even a withdrawal, it's an exit ㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It's really crazy
- They didn't just throw her out the bus. They threw her in the pits of fire
- How can you believe this when you don't even pay the choreographer?
- I'm not a fan of Chuu but I feel so bad for her. From now on, let's walk the flowery path.
