Kim Ji Woo, known professionally as Chuu, is a South Korean singer, dancer, entertainer and former member of LOONA (이달의 소녀). She graduated from Hanlim Entertainment Arts High School. In October 2016, Blockberry Creative (블록베리크리에이티브) decided to debut a girl group through an 18-month long pre-debut project. She was the 10th member to be revealed and released her single "Heart Attack" in December 2017. After 4 members were revealed, she formed the sub-unit LOONA yyxy with them and released the EP "Beauty & the Beat" in May 2018. She officially debuted in August 2018 as the group's vocalist, rapper and face of the group with their first EP, "[+ +]". In November 2022, she was removed from the group after winning a partial injunction against the agency to terminate her contract. The company blamed her citing an abuse of power as the cause for her removal. However, the remaining members filed an injunction to terminate their contracts three days after she was removed. The agency even teased a comeback scheduled for January 2023 which was promptly boycotted by the fans and postponed indefinitely. In April 2023, she signed with ATRP (에이티알피) and re-debuted as a soloist in October 2023 with the mini-album "Howl". She also formed her own company, Chuu Co., Ltd. (주식회사 츄). (Source: MyDramaList).
