Hololive terminates Yozora Mel for \u201cleaking information\u201d to third parties HololiveHololive Production has confirmed Gen 1 talent Yozora Mel has been terminated after the long-serving VTuber was found to have leaked important information to multiple third parties. While Hololive hasn\u2019t endured as many controversies as some of its peers, the VTuber agency does take swift action when it comes to contract breaches. This was apparent when former talent Uruha Rushia was terminated in 2022 for leaking sensitive information. Almost two years on and history has repeated. Yozora Mel is one of Hololive\u2019s original talents, debuting as part of First Gen in May 2018. However, despite her long tenure, her contract has been terminated similar to Rushia. Hololive says a serious breach of her contract left them with no choice but to cut ties with Mel, making her the second VTuber to make a shock exit from their agency in 2024 already. Hololive cuts ties with Yozora Mel over \u2018serious\u2019 contract breach In an announcement posted on January 16, Hololive confirmed the termination of Yozora Mel, stating, \u201cWe regret to announce that as of January 16th, 2024, we have terminated our Virtual YouTuber Master Agreement with Yozora Mel of hololive.\u201d Elaborating, the announcement continues, \u201cIt has been confirmed that Yozora Mel has been engaging in acts that violated her contract by leaking information to third parties that she acquired from the company.\u201d Deciding it was too much to overlook, the agency said, \u201cAs a result, we have determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her and have elected to make this decision.\u201d Hololive went on to thank fans for supporting Mel during her 5 years and 8 months of service but insisted it is \u201ctaking this matter very seriously,\u201d and plans to \u201cmake further efforts into instructing our affiliated talents on compliance matters, so that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.\u201d This shock announcement makes Yozora Mel the fifth Hololive JP member to leave the agency. This follows Hitomi Chris, Mano Aloe, Kiryu Coco, and Uruha Rushia with the majority of those being terminated rather than leaving on their own terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
