FIFTY FIFTY is psychologically manipulated by Ahn Sung-il?
The girl group, FIFTY FIFTY, has been tangled in a contract dispute with their management company ATTRAKT and The Givers, a company that outsourced management and music production, since June. Today, it was reported that the real instigator behind the dissolution is Ahn Sung-il and Director Baek Jin-sil, the representatives of The Givers.
The agency ATTRAKT, representing Jeon Hong Jun, expressed betrayal and anger towards The Givers representatives Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil in a phone interview with 'Xports News' on the 23rd.
During a recent interview with a media outlet, Keena, a member of the group, expressed her intention to withdraw her appeal and return to ATTRAKT. She revealed that it was actually Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil, representatives of The Givers, who instigated the members to terminate their contracts with the company.
Evidence has been continuously revealed that Ahn Sung-il deceived the members, saying that he received a large investment, and that this investment was used for the members and would become the company's debt. It was mentioned that Representative Kwon wanted to abandon the members after the first album ended, and incited dissension with such remarks.
Member Keena apologized to ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong-jun, saying that she believed without confirming the truth. Jeon Hong-jun said, with relief, "Although it's late, I still want to forgive Keena, who mustered up the final courage."
All representatives also said: "Because Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-shil were treated like family, the sense of betrayal is even greater. In order to subject Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-shil to legal punishment, we will hire the best lawyer and will not let our guard down until the end of this incident."
CEO Jeon also mentioned, "I've put my best effort for the members, but Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil slandered me, and treated me as a money-hungry villain. Although I have caused harm to the members, I failed to fully explain to them." He also expressed regret.
During this period, ATTRAKT hoped that FIFTY FIFTY would not be "controlled by greedy adults". Now that they have definitely terminated the contract, it seems to the outside world that they are truly "heartbroken". People are starting to be curious about whether FIFTY FIFTY will reform their group around Keena, or will let Keena make her solo debut.

K-PopFIFTY FIFTY agency officially terminates contracts with 3 members!
The dispute between FIFTY FIFTY and their management company ATTRAKT continues. After one of the members, Keena, returned to the company, the agency announced today that it has terminated exclusive contracts with the remaining three members Saena, Sio, and Aran, and will take legal action accordingly. ATTRAKT announced on the 23rd, "Among the members of our girl group FIFTY FIFTY, apart from Keena, the remaining three members Saena, Sio, and Aran have reported the termination of their exclusive contracts on October 19th." A representative from ATTRAKT told Korean media, "The contracts of three members of FIFTY FIFTY were terminated due to severe contract violations, and there have been no actions of correction or reflection," and also mentioned that they will discuss future measures for the members. Previously, Keena revoked the suspension injunction on the exclusive contract she submitted to ATTRAKT on the 16th. She is currently back at her company ATTRAKT, but her future activities are still undecided. Keena also gave an interview to the Korean media Dispatch earlier, revealing how the producer An Sung-il had manipulated the members, causing them to lose trust in their agency, and consequently guiding the members and their parents to pursue litigation to halt the validity of the exclusive contracts. During the interview, Keena further mentioned An Sung-il's assertion, saying, "After getting a large investment, this investment money will quickly become a debt for the children, and after the first album, he wanted to abandon the members," causing a rift between the members and the entire representative. Meanwhile, the representatives also expressed their hope that Keena, upon her return, would tell the whole truth without holding anything back: "Let's bravely and calmly recount what happened before, one by one. If Keena and her father want to ease their minds sooner, Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil will also have to face legal punishment."
K-PopFIFTY FIFTY Keena reveals the inside story of the contract saga to Dispatch
Keena, a member of the FIFTY FIFTY group, recently decided to stop the lawsuit and return to the original management company, ATTRAKT. Keena also accepted an interview with the Korean media Dispatch and revealed the inside story about Ahn Seong-il preventing members from meeting with the management company. Keena revealed to Dispatch that Saena had reported to the company as early as June that she had been diagnosed with the coronavirus. It was reportedly said that the positive picture also belonged to Ahn Seong-il and said, "It would be better not to carry out schedules from now on. If you get diagnosed with COVID-19, you would be left alone, so you could avoid the management company." Keena further noted that at the time it was considered the best decision to initiate a lawsuit. The producer, Ahn Seong-il, even stated "You shouldn't meet with the company's people", and at that time, the lawyers also recommended, "It's best not to converse." Keena revealed that Ahn Seong-il claimed that the success of "Cupid" on Billboard was all his own doing. She said, "He always showed me Kakaotalk messages, which were conversations related to Billboard and a certain individual. The content discussed how the ranking had reached this point and how it would continue to rise... It seemed like everything had been prearranged. Ahn Seong-il also mentioned that the 'Cupid' music video was initially financed with my money, and ATTRAKT consistently delayed payments and so on, which made us feel quite exhausted with this company." Keena also mentioned that after a proposal to sell Warner's prior 20 billion won was rejected by the representative, Ahn Seong-il persuaded them to apply for provisional disposition. "There are three methods - to get investment from CJ, to get investment from Kakao, or to apply for provisional disposition. But whether to invest or not is entirely up to the company. But Ahn Seong-il insisted this is the members' choice. In the end, the parents felt it was unjust to leave their children with debt, so they chose to apply for provisional disposition." Keena also pointed out that her suspicions of Ahn Sung-il began due to his past fraudulent activities, such as falsifying copyright signatures and educational backgrounds. "I only knew from the news that my royalty fee had decreased from 6.5% to 0.5%, and the signature on the change request form was also fake, not my own handwriting," he said. Ahn Seong-il denies all the reports about him, referring to them as "fake news." He also addressed the allegations of falsified academic qualifications by saying, "It's a matter from the past; the records were lost during my transfer to a different school." Keena added that parents have become increasingly upset and skeptical of hn Seong-il. As a result, Ahn Seong-il has been ostracized in the current situation. Some members of the group have taken to posting their own messages on social media, while Ahn Seong-Jae has reportedly left or disappeared.
