Tracing the formation of Loossemble
The group was formed as a collaboration between Hyunjin, Yeojin, Vivi, Gowon, and Hyeju with a contract with CTDENM, a newly formed South Korean record label.
Their former K-pop band Loona and its management company, Blockberry Entertainment, were involved in a lawsuit that resulted in the group's formation. The lawsuit originated in an injunction filed by former Loona member Chu, who appealed for the suspension of the exclusive contract with the label in December 2021.
Chu won the lawsuit, following which Blockberry summarily dismissed Chu from the band, claiming she had abused the support staff of the band. The dismissal led the rest of the band members, including the now-Lossemble group, barring Vivi and Hyugin, to file their appeals against their exclusive contract with Blockberry.
The case led to a general fan outcry and a boycott by Blockberry to create a comeback for the group, and subsequently, all the lawsuits were won by the band members, leading to the complete split of Loona.
