Blockberry Creative has also reportedly been ordered to bear the costs of the lawsuit.Neither Chuu nor Blockberry Creative has commented on the court’s ruling.Following Chuu’s initial provisional injunction, the singer did not join LOONA on their first world tour that year, though the agency cited scheduling conflicts at the time.
