The production of “Wooju Bakery” has hit a major crisis. The project has shifted from a simple delay to an intense legal battle. Studio On Saturn (SOS), the agency representing Jeff Satur issued a formal statement on April 17, 2026. In that document, they distanced the artist and the studio from the project. Habitus Company, the production house, issued a strong rebuttal on April 18. Studio On Saturn then provided a definitive counter-response on April 19.
This rapid exchange created a complex web of contradictory claims. Fans and industry observers now question the project’s future.
Habitus Company’s Position:
Habitus Company directly challenged the allegations on April 18, 2026. The production firm behind the drama rejected the claims from Studio On Saturn. They built their defense on three main pillars:
- Full Payment: Habitus asserts they processed full payment for all appearance fees. They handled these payments through relevant agencies during the legal transfer of rights. They prioritized artist compensation. The company holds “financial evidence and remittance records.” These documents support their claims. They labeled the studio’s accusations of non-payment as “entirely false.”
- Legitimate Rights: Habitus claims they secured distribution rights through a “legitimate contractual succession process.” They insist their current release and promotional plans rest on valid legal grounds.
- Continuous Communication: Habitus addressed the claim that the release happened unilaterally. They argued that they maintained “continuous communication” with the artists’ representatives. They expressed “deep regret” over the situation. They stated that “one-sided claims” caused confusion for the fans.
Studio On Saturn’s Rebuttal:
Studio On Saturn (SOS) refused to back down. They issued a sharp counter-statement on April 19, 2026. The studio focused on the gap between the production company’s claims and the artist’s reality.
- Payment Clarification: SOS explicitly reiterated that the artist received zero payment for this project. They emphasized a crucial legal distinction. Any financial arrangements with “third parties” do not change the facts. The artist—the primary rightsholder—remains uncompensated.
- Lack of Consent: SOS stood by their original stance. Jeff Satur did not provide consent for the distribution, promotion, or use of the series.
- Negotiation History: SOS provided context regarding previous discussions. They noted that talks occurred in February. This was after the production team released images of the artist without consent. During these talks, SOS learned about “certain actions involving third parties.” Despite the studio’s requests for a direct agreement, the parties reached no such deal.
- The Halt: Most significantly, SOS confirmed that they requested a postponement of the airing. They wanted the production company to wait until both sides reached acceptable terms. The production company proceeded anyway. This left the studio with no choice but to seek legal protection.

The Impact on the Global Fan Base
This dispute has had immediate consequences. As Boys Love Insider previously reported, GagaOOLala officially halted the international premiere on April 18 (morning). They cited “unforeseen circumstances.” This move effectively shelves the project globally. The legal teams must now navigate this deadlock. In the evening of April 18, GagaOOLala uploaded the trailer of Wooju Bakery on its Official YouTube Channel.
The situation leaves fans in limbo. The core dispute involves whether payment to “third-party agencies” satisfies the obligation to the artist. This creates a classic legal gray area. It often plagues long-delayed entertainment projects. However, the harsh language used by both parties suggests this is no longer a simple misunderstanding.
Wooju Bakery remains at a standstill today. Studio On Saturn intends to take appropriate legal action to protect the artist’s rights. The contradiction between Habitus Company’s claims of legitimacy and the artist’s agency’s claims of unauthorized use persists. This legal battle appears far from over.
Boys Love Insider will continue to monitor this situation. We encourage our readers to prioritize official updates and respect the legal process currently underway.
