Massive E&C had originally applied for the "ablume" logo trademark back in October 22, 2024. In July 7, 2024, KIPRIS started doing a specialized search report for the availability of the trademark.
On November 26, 2025, KIPRIS denied Massive E&C the "ablume" logo trademark:
"[Reason for Rejection] Trademark Act, Article 34, Paragraph 1, Item 6
This trademark application is deemed to be the name of a prominent individual (the name of Massive E&C.'s three-member group) and therefore cannot be registered. However, this does not apply if the individual's consent has been obtained. (If the individual is a minor or has not reached the age of majority under Article 4 of the Civil Act, the consent of their legal representative must be obtained.)"
It seems like they need the ablume members need to give individual consent to allow Massive E&C to register their trademark. This could possibly be another factor into their long hiatus.
The deadline for the submission is January 26, 2026, but they can also request for an extension up to 4 times, so we'll see how long it takes. But judging by this + ablume's long hiatus + NS ENM (their parent company) holding auditions for a new group debuting next year, it's not looking promising for them. I wonder how they feel about Massive to not give them their consent for their trademark 🤔
Don't tell me Siahn is talking in their ears again considering him/The Givers seem to be their current managers lmao (at least for their YouTube & TikTok content)
