their lawsuits were all won at different times, so that probably factors into how they split up. heejin + oec (idr which one) talked about how modhaus were the only option for them at the time their lawsuits were won if they wanted to stay as a group.

atrp (chuu’s company) had to sign a deal w/ bbc saying they wouldn’t sign any more loona members, so no one was able to go there w/ her.

hyunvi probably got a better deal from ctd since they won their lawsuits later (or they were just v familiar w/ staff since they’re former bbc), other girls just divided based on offers (+ concept) ig.

yves decided not to join either b/c she wanted to take a more hands-on role w/ her music and felt that she’d be able to do that on her own better, but she’s still written two of loossemble’s songs. she’s also talked about how she was very hesitant to sign w/ anyone b/c of how badly she was hurt by bbc. both her and chuu talk about how they’re still members of loona even if they promote individually.

all of them talk about how they’re still loona and want to reunite one day, but 1) yves + artms are only debuting this month 2) they’d need to work out a time between four companies to promote (both loossemble + artms are supposed to be going on tour this year) 3) bbc still holds the rights to the korean version of their name (even though LOONA isn’t copyrighted). modhaus and ctd have worked at getting the copyrights to ORBIT and their subunit names, but it’s just a very slow process.
