FIFTY FIFTY continues to expose allegations that the company is forcing them to lose weight
The dispute between FIFTY FIFTY and their management company ATTRAKT is still ongoing. The usually silent members of FIFTY FIFTY have unexpectedly voiced their protests on their personal IG accounts, countering the company's claim that it "takes care of its members."
The four members of FIFTY FIFTY, Keena, Saena, Sio, and Aran, have been continuously revealing secrets about their management company, ATTRAKT, on their IG account fifi_fifi1118 for three consecutive days. It's been two months since they posted their first message on August 17th, stating, "We must find out the truth in difficulties".
The members made three announcements over three days from the 12th to the 14th, presenting evidence that CEO Jun Hong Joon of ATTRAKT used the advance payment from the investment company as expenses for the FIFTY FIFTY event and settled it without prior notice, and attended the investment briefing of the U.S. management company H.
FIFTY FIFTY also pointed out that the company's forced weight loss and stress led to a severe deterioration in mental health. Specific illnesses were detailed, and four members even uploaded their hospital diagnoses as proof. The company forced them to go ahead with recording, filming, and advertising schedules without considering the artists' conditions.
However, their expressions of frustration and injustice on Instagram did not change netizens' attitudes. Netizens commented, "If they were initially in poor health, they shouldn't have made their debut. It's problematic to attend investment briefings and proceed with advertisement shootings before a holiday schedule without prior explanation. The members seem to be completely clueless about how society operates like students." Most importantly, netizens pointed out that FIFTY FIFTY tried to change the direction of public opinion by using evidence that the court didn't approve, which made netizens more unsatisfied.
Previously, FIFTY FIFTY filed an injunction application to suspend the exclusive contract with the agency in June this year, but the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court rejected the application, saying "ATTRAKT did not violate the liquidation and health management obligations".
Some netizens speculated that after FIFTY FIFTY disagreed with the judgment, they appealed and needed to continue the legal contest with the company. The members are eager to create a favorable situation for themselves, which is why they continue to post explosive articles. Some netizens pointed out that the members' "selective" communication is very immature. Articles criticizing FIFTY FIFTY have been continuously appearing on various Korean websites, but the members of FIFTY FIFTY have not opened the function to reply to posts on Instagram, indicating that they just want to express their opinions.

K-PopFIFTY FIFTY members claim to reveal the truth behind ATTRAKT's CEO
The dispute between the new girl group FIFTY FIFTY and their agency ATTRAKT continues, as four members Keena, Saena, Sio, and Aran have expressed their stance on their personal SNS accounts, attracting the attention of the Korean media. On the 12th, FIFTY FIFTY wrote on their personal IG: "The agency representative told the representative of Company A that he considers the pre-paid debt of 50 billion KRW, which belongs to my company S, as an investment in FIFTY FIFTY." The members claimed that the management company has been avoiding explaining to the members till now. The members demanded that the company should provide a proper response. "We asked for settlement processing and details, including deficits and surpluses, but the management company did not respond. Instead, they unexpectedly invested 8 billion Korean won in a YouTuber and saddled us with the label of traitors." FIFTY FIFTY stated, "Don't try to deceive us with false information. If you intend to obscure our hard work with falsehoods, CEO Jun Hong Joon only avoid addressing the incident's facts and unjustly target the members." Additionally, FIFTY FIFTY also means: "Exposing all that harms our health and controls our activities before being made public. Additionally, it will reveal the fact that we repay other S agency's debts with our sound source and record income, and the reason why we had to leave our agency." In June this year, FIFTY FIFTY filed an application for the suspension of the exclusivity of the contract to the Seoul Central District Court, alleging that the management company ATTRAKT breached the contract and undermined the trust relationship. Members claimed that ATTRAKT had no obligation to fulfill the contract unilaterally due to unclear settlements and difficulties in activities. The application to suspend the exclusive contract made by FIFTY FIFTY was a unanimous decision made by four members without any external intervention. However, the Seoul Central District Court has made a decision to reject it.
K-Pop真的掰了！FIFTY FIFTY經紀公司正式推新女團！將於明年出道！
隨著女團FIFTY FIFTY與經紀公司ATTRAKT的合約爭議未明，ATTRAKT決定推出新女團，並確定最多會以9人組合出道，與FIFTY FIFTY只有四位成員的組合不同。 ATTRAKT的新女團將會以明年上半年出道為目標，讓她們在2024年6月之前出道，而組合成員將會由7至9人組成。 這次的新女團成員將會通過選秀節目公開選拔，據悉ATTRAKT內部正在企劃選秀內容，但具體的試鏡日程還沒有確定。而該選秀不是選拔ATTRAKT的練習生，而是選拔可以立即加入新女子組合的出道組成員，據悉ATTRAKT為了此次選秀花盡了心思。 此前ATTRAKT旗下女團FIFTY FIFTY於今年2月以歌曲《Cupid》打進美國billboard主要單曲排行榜Hot 100，受到了人們的關注，ATTRAKT也因此被認為是創造中小企劃公司奇蹟的代表性企劃公司。 ATTRAKT的代表全洪俊決心將新女子組合再次送上美國Billboard排行榜和英國官方排行榜。ATTRAKT正在從國內外作曲家收集新女團的出道歌曲，到最近為止已收到多達1000首以上的歌曲。 其中ATTRAKT將挑選5首歌曲收錄在新女團的出道專輯中，而出道專輯不是單曲，而將會是迷你專輯，計劃與《Cupid》走完全不同的風格，以更加豐富多彩的旋律構成。 目前，ATTRAKT與FIFTY FIFTY成員們仍就專屬合約進行紛爭，法院雖然駁回了四名成員的專屬合約效力停止假處分申請，但是成員們堅持「不想回到ATTRAKT」令雙方的對立繼續持續。因此ATTRAKT考慮到不能繼續再跟FIFTY FIFTY合作而推出新女團。 小編：是走完全不同的風格嗎？！👀
K-PopFIFTY FIFTY's agency files a lawsuit against "We Want to Know" program's "fake employees."
The FIFTY FIFTY incident still hasn't come to a close, and the recent SBS current affairs program "We Want to Know" has caused a series of controversies due to suspected bias towards the members. The representative of FIFTY FIFTY's management company, Jeon Hong-joon, decided to file a lawsuit against the related parties today. On the morning of the 11th, Jun Hong Joon, representative of Attrakt, the company to which FIFTY FIFTY belongs, submitted a lawsuit, targeting an individual A who falsely claimed to be an insider in SBS's "We Want to Know." On the 11th, Attrakt announced, "On the 19th of August, in the 1365th episode of SBS's 'We Want to Know' titled 'Billboard and Female Group - Who broke the Wings', Mr. A, who posed as an insider for the interview under suspicion of spreading falsehoods and harming reputations, filed a lawsuit at the Gangnam Police Station on the 11th." "We Want to Know" conducted an interview focusing on the FIFTY FIFTY incident. After the interview was aired, the Broadcasting Communications Review Committee received complaints from 1,146 citizens this year, with viewers accusing the show of being "biased towards the members." Defendant A stated in the program, "After the song 'CUPID' suddenly became popular, I only thought 'I also want to make some money'. Until the members debuted, I never attended any end of the month evaluations. Why am I suddenly referred to as the father of FIFTY FIFTY?" conveying a message that completely contradicts the truth. Attrakt's lawyer stated, "The remarks of Mr. A, whose identity is unknown, have had a significant impact on the reputation of the representative Cheon Hong-jun of Atract amidst an ongoing false disposition lawsuit between Attrakt and FIFTY FIFTY. However, Mr. A's statements are clearly based on the false assumption that representative Jun Hong Joon is only concerned with economic benefits, spreading false facts. Such misleading statements may misinterpret the efforts of Jun Hong Joon and damage his reputation in society," explaining the reason for the lawsuit. Related person from Attrakt pointed out, "In 'We Want to Know,' a person named A, who claims to be associated with the inside and was interviewed unidentified, is a person who even the company employees don't know," suspecting someone is impersonating as an Attrakt employee making false statements.
