Hololive 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.
Hololive cuts ties with Yozora Mel over ‘serious’ contract breach
Elaborating, the announcement continues, “It 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.”
Deciding it was too much to overlook, the agency said, “As a result, we have determined that it has become difficult to continue managing and supporting her and have elected to make this decision.”
Hololive went on to thank fans for supporting Mel during her 5 years and 8 months of service but insisted it is “taking this matter very seriously,” and plans to “make further efforts into instructing our affiliated talents on compliance matters, so that similar incidents do not happen again in the future.”
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.
