Former female idol provides a heartfelt testimony for FIFTY FIFTY's agency CEO, sharing a Kakao conversation as evidence!
New girl group FIFTY FIFTY (Keena, Saena, Sio, Aran) members file breach of contract lawsuit against their agency, Attract Entertainment. Online posts discussing ATTRAKT's representative (Jeon Hong Jun) have also emerged.
On the 7th, a post on a Korean mom discussion forum caught attention. The post started with the statement, "Before we became mothers, we were a singing group of three members." It continued, "The CEO of FIFTY FIFTY was our company CEO back then. Even during challenging times, he always settled our accounts after every activity and took care of us like his own daughters, providing acting classes, Chinese lessons, and music training."
The netizen further expressed, "He constantly encouraged us, saying that as long as we sing well, it is sufficient. He truly acted as our father figure. While we are glad to witness his success, it saddens us to see him being in the spotlight of recent news."
Other netizens who came across the post also shared their thoughts, stating, "Such posts are being shared everywhere, not just our support for FIFTY FIFTY, but the entire nation supporting the president." "To this mom, this testimony is truly explosive." The reactions were filled with enthusiasm.
The netizen who shared the post is identified as Kim Min-hee (Mini), formerly a member of the trio "The Lush". Mini also expressed her frustration with the situation involving Jeon Hong-jun, the representative, through her Instagram Story. She made public her KakaoTalk conversation with Representative Jeon Hong-jun and conveyed her empathy towards his current predicament.
Mini said, "Everyone is very worried about the CEO, it's been a long time, our family is finally starting to communicate again." "After listening to me, Sara (a member of the same girl group in the past) stayed up all night and couldn't fall asleep."
In her explanation for posting about Representative Jeon Hong Jun, Mini emphasised, "If FIFTY FIFTY's endeavours had failed, we might have some sympathy for them. However, now they are planning to betray him, and it infuriates me. I hope everyone around is aware of this."
Furthermore, Mini shared a screenshot of news related to the 'FIFTY FIFTY incident' in her second Instagram Story and expressed her distress, stating, "I am genuinely upset. From the start of our debut, the president always made sure we received pocket money, even without any income. Thanks to him, I learned Chinese, dance, and gained recognition from everyone. He has consistently believed in me, supported me, and is truly someone I am deeply grateful for in my life."
Mini reminisced about what the president had said, "(The president said) Our kids are talented singers, they have kind hearts, just like his own daughter. All they need to focus on is singing well." She reflected on how, during her time under the president's guidance, she hadn't witnessed the darker aspects of the industry that she encountered after leaving his protection and entering the world as a singer.
In addition, Mini expressed, "Our president truly feels like a father to us. We had a conversation on KakaoTalk a few days ago, and he expressed happiness upon seeing my progress." Lastly, she expressed concern, stating, "The president recently attended his father's funeral. I'm genuinely worried, and I hope he can resolve the issues and receive the recognition he deserves."
Comments from netizens who read the news included: "It's nice to see they still maintain their friendship despite the circumstances!" "Unfortunately, even if they continue their activities, public perception may not be favorable." "The president must be going through a significant loss." "Instead of completely replacing them, this might lead to a new direction." "It appears that the game has already reached its conclusion." "This situation highlights a clear contrast between good and evil." and more.

K-PopDispatch exposes new update in FIFTY FIFTY controversy: Producer suspected of impersonating CEO and composer based on transcribed audio.
Today, Korean media Dispatch has once again released recorded audio regarding the FIFTY FIFTY girl group controversy. In their report, Dispatch strongly criticises The Givers' representative, Ahn Sung Il, accusing him of fraudulently impersonating the CEO of ATTRAKT, the management company for FIFTY FIFTY. According to the contents revealed by Dispatch, Ahn stated, "ATTRAKT paid $9,000 (12 million Korean won) for the rights of the record producer's connectivity, which is the right of the record producer, while the copyright belongs to the creator of the work." However, Dispatch sarcastically commented, "He spoke quite smoothly for a long time, but is there a hidden meaning behind his words?" In response, Dispatch reached out to the Music Copyright Association for clarification. It was confirmed that the connection rights of "Cupid" belong to ATTRAKT, but The Givers, the production company, have officially signed a rights transfer contract with the author, paid the necessary fees, and obtained the rights. Although Representative Ahn admitted to the copyright transfer after the fact, he insisted that it was not purchased with ATTRAKT's money. However, Dispatch emphasized that the source of the money is not the main concern. They raised a counter question, stating that if the entire promotion of FIFTY FIFTY was handed over to Representative Ahn, it implies that The Givers are working for ATTRAKT. In addition, Dispatch highlighted the copyright distribution of "Cupid" with 28.65% for Ahn Sung-il, 66.85% for The Givers, 4% for Baek, and 0.5% for Song Ji-kyung (Kina). Furthermore, Dispatch criticised Ahn's deceptive recording, stating that the three-month period mentioned by Ahn has already elapsed, questioning why he misled the representative about the timeframe. Dispatch described Ahn's behaviour as close to fraudulent. Finally, Dispatch raised the question, "Even if money was paid to purchase the copyright from the composer, can one claim to be the composer?" A representative from a copyright association responded, "This is nearly unheard of." A well-known idol songwriter criticised the situation as an outrageous trick and even questioned its authenticity. In addition, representatives from the Korean Music Copyright Association and current composers emphasized, "Merely purchasing the rights from the original author does not entitle you to remove the composer's name. Paying for the rights does not make you the composer. Typically, the composer's name should be written directly under the 'author's name', while the name of the copyright owner should be written under the 'rights name'. That is the correct approach." Upon hearing the news, netizens expressed overwhelming support for Representative Jeon: "We hope Representative Jeon wins the lawsuit! The whole of South Korea is cheering for you!" "Thank goodness there was an automatic recording to support Representative Jeonㅠㅠ We stand by you and support you!" "It's truly unfortunate that Representative Jeon had to go through thisㅠㅠ We're here to support you!"
K-PopThe Korean Entertainment Producers' Association spoke out for the first time about the "Fifty Fifty" incident! Publicly supporting the agencies: "We will not turn a blind eye to this!"
Today, the Korean Entertainment Producers Association expressed their stance on the issue involving the girl group "Fifty Fifty" and supported the position of their associated company, Attract. The Korean Entertainment Producers Association stated, "Even in a difficult environment, our association and member companies have noticed and witnessed the miracle that ATTRAKT (CEO: Chon Hong Jun) created the group Fifty Fifty in just a few months, and are aware of the challenges the company is currently facing." The Korean Performing Arts Producers Association wrote: "Time and again, practices such as frequent changing of group members and early contact with artists, disrupt the normal business activities, leading to irreversible consequences for the companies and their artists." "Capital-backed illegitimate powers have been snatching talent, damaging the roots of K-pop as well as the foundation for the growth of producers and artists. The relationship between producers and artists is no longer a simple 'A' and 'B' relation, they are all partners striving for the same dream. Our association will never turn a blind eye to this, and we will respond strongly." At the same time, the Korean Entertainment Producers Association emphasized the necessity of improving the system: "We are deeply concerned about the relevant legal and institutional issues that have not yet been considered in the industry," and said, "We feel the necessity of improving the system to prevent such situations from happening again in the Korean entertainment industry. We call on the parliament, government, and relevant institutions to work together to find solutions." In addition, the Korean Performing Arts Producers Association stated: "We are seeking the establishment of the 'Popular Music Industry Promotion Committee', the introduction of a free contract system for artists, rental systems for artists and other solutions for the healthy development of the industry, so that 'K-culture' is not only our own, but can also lead the global cultural industry." Lastly, the association stated: "We look forward to overcoming the challenging industry environment, just like ATTRAKT, who grew from the depths of poverty, to meet their expectations." Following is the full statement of the Korean Entertainment Producers Association: "The current KPOP is in the center of global culture, receiving passionate love from fans around the world. However, we have noticed some problems troubling artists and production companies. Therefore, we, as the Korean Entertainment Producers Association, are addressing our concerns for some recent issues and publicly stating our position." "Firstly, regarding the current contract dispute between ATTRAKT and Fifty Fifty, we believe this to be a serious issue. If one party violates the contract, resulting in the work of the artists being affected, then we must deal with this matter immediately. No matter what the contract content, the most important point is: both parties must respect and abide by the agreed terms." "Furthermore, we are concerned about The Givers company's actions. If the company removes related documents or carries out right purchases without permission, then there is indeed an issue with such behavior. We hope for a thorough investigation to be conducted on this situation.However, we also believe that the entertainment industry is not solely about business activities, it's closely related to every artist's life and career. Therefore, we urge all stakeholders, not to sacrifice artists' welfare for business gains. Artists' health and happiness should be our primary consideration." "Finally, the Korean Entertainment Producers' Association will continue to strive to create a fair and just environment for our artists and production companies. We believe, only in this kind of environment, can KPOP continue to thrive and shine. We hope that all parties involved understand and respect our stance. We look forward to resolving all disputes as soon as possible so that our artists can return to their normal work and life."
K-PopMembers know FIFTY FIFTY's CEO sold his car! Netizens blasted them for their reaction after the sale: do they still have humanity?
The entire members of the girl group FIFTY FIFTY (Keena, Saena, Sio, Aran) have filed a breach of exclusive contract lawsuit against their current management company ATTRAKT. However, their past remarks have once again attracted attention, even sparking a "humanity controversy". The four members of FIFTY FIFTY appeared on the SBS POWER FM program "Cultwo Show" in April. On that day, the host Kim Tae-jun asked the members, "You have been debuted for six months now, how do you feel upon hearing the news of topping the Billboard?" Member's response: "Actually, when we first entered the Billboard Hot 100, we were told by Sang-Il, the representative of The Givers who was on a business trip in America. That was the first time we knew." Afterwards, the host Kim Tae-jun also asked the members: "I heard that CEO Jeon Hong-jun sold his car to let you guys debut," the members seemed somewhat surprised. One of them said, "Ah! This proves that you care about us a lot, this is something we didn't even know." In response to the members' panicked reaction, Kim Tae-gyun retorted, "Why don't you know that Representative Jeon Hong-jun sold his car to get a better song?" Hearing these words, the members replied, "Ah, maybe it was when he was changing cars." "Afterwards on other shows, members of FIFTY FIFTY even referred to The Givers' producer, An Sung-il, as a 'representative.' Upon seeing the clip, many netizens also criticized the members of FIFTY FIFTY, accusing them of lacking humanity." Netizens have continuously expressed: "Even if they didn't know, as a person, if they heard that someone was selling their car and watches for them, they should at least pretend to be touched", "They don't seem to value their representative at all", "They have been brainwashed by the production team", "It's unclear why they wanted to transfer and sue their original representative", "The production team sure has ulterior motives", "I feel distressed after hearing their words! Do they still have human decency?!", "Even if they didn't know, when they heard about it, they should've said 'Thank you, representative' or something like that on air", etc. Editor: Saying like this is indeed a bit too much!🧐 Related articles: Company D's huge exposure to the FIFTY FIFTY incident exclusive internal information!
