"FIFTY FIFTY falls off the pedestal! Most collaborations cancelled, netizens mock 'you reap what you sow'!"
After a dispute with their agency, girl group FIFTY FIFTY has been inundated with negative reviews, and it was reported on the 4th that they have missed many performance opportunities.
According to a report by South Korean media on the 4th, information revealed by industry insiders indicated that FIFTY FIFTY had been awarded the opportunity to sing one of the original soundtracks (OST) for the movie "Barbie". However, plans to film a music video for the song fell through following controversy.
FIFTY FIFTY, as the so-called miracle of small and medium-sized companies, has first emerged in the United States and has also received many job negotiations in South Korea. In addition to the MV of "Barbie", they were originally expected to shoot commercials with famous athletes, shoot ads for international companies, and appear on famous variety shows, but now everything has turned into a bubble.
The dispute between FIFTY FIFTY and their management company began on the 23rd of last month. The agency's representative pointed out that external forces are trying to poach the members and sent a registered letter to Warner Music Korea. Warner Music Korea subsequently denied these allegations and stated that it would take legal actions against false statements.
Subsequently, there were also reports of the members suing the management company and filing for a provisional disposition to terminate the contract. This move drew widespread criticism from netizens.
"FIFTY FIFTY went viral globally as their single 'CUPID' climbed up the U.S. Billboard charts. This time, their failure is described by netizens as a goose who thought it laid a golden egg, but disemboweled itself before it could even hatch."
After the news of the collaboration cancellation was released, netizens also sighed one after another, "Even we, who are unrelated, feel a pity. How heartbreaking it must be for the representative", "What should the representative do QQ", "Alas ... this one will regret for a lifetime", "The boss is the most pitiful, the members got what they deserved."
Editor: The boss must really be worn out...

K-PopDispatch exclusively reveal inside story of the FIFTY FIFTY's dispute!
Girl group FIFTY FIFTY filed an application to suspend their exclusive contract on the 19th of last month, accusing their management company of "not settling their earnings" and "ignoring the members' health conditions." However, Korean media outlet Dispatch has revealed a different story, stating that the team's financial settlement remained in the negative and their health conditions were not disregarded. ATTRAKT's representative, Jeon Hong Joon, has publicly shared a conversation with The Givers' representative, Ahn Sung Il. Ahn Sung Il urged the members to film a music video, but Jeon Hong Joon defended the members, stating, "This is a health issue. Please communicate with their parents to avoid misunderstandings." However, Ahn Sung Il replied, "Aran listens to my opinions, and I will personally persuade her." It is reported that FIFTY FIFTY was originally created by Representative Jeon Hong Joon, Representative Ahn Sung Il, and the US production company KAMP K. However, there was a disagreement between Representative Jeon Hong Joonand the KAMP K representative, and eventually an outsourcing contract was signed with Representative Ahn Sung Il. Representative Jeon Hong Joon was responsible for raising funds, while Representative Ahn Sung Il was in charge of training. Representative Jeon Hong Joon sold his car, watch, and even added his mother's 90 million Korean won to debut FIFTY FIFTY. FIFTY FIFTY achieved a breakthrough in April 2023 with their song "Cupid" making it onto the Billboard charts. It stayed on the HOT 100 for a record-breaking 14 weeks, making it the longest-running charting song by a K-pop girl group. Interestingly, "Cupid" was originally produced by students from a music school in Sweden, and Representative Ahn Sung Il adapted it into a K-pop style. In January of this year, Representative Ahn Sung Il paid $9,000 to the Swedish university students to acquire the rights to the song "Cupid," obtaining a 90% ownership stake. However, Representative Ahn Sung Il did not share the profits, resulting in ATTRAKT's team settlement remaining in the negative. Representative Jeon Hong Joon stated, "This mistake is 110% due to trusting The Givers." The Givers' staff member, Mr. B, was responsible for managing the members and communicating with their parents. On May 2nd of this year, Aran underwent surgery, and during her recovery period, Mr. B requested some rest time for the other members from May 10th to 28th. However, Representative Jeon suggested a one-week vacation as he had engagements in the United States for lectures and other activities. Mr. B assured that he would communicate with the members and their parents, and ultimately, they reached a consensus to resume activities on the 25th. Representative Jeon also mentioned that he did not neglect the members' health, stating, "Mr. B promised to manage them well, so I trusted and handed over the responsibility to him. It seems that excessive trust has become the root of the problem."

K-PopFIFTY FIFTY faces backlash from Korean netizens! The 60-year-old representative sold cars and watches to support their debut but they became ungrateful after gaining popularity!
FIFTY FIFTY is currently embroiled in a contract dispute with their management company ATTRAKT, and they have announced their intention to pursue legal measures for contract termination. This has sparked anger among many netizens, who strongly criticise FIFTY FIFTY's behaviour. Despite being a small entertainment management company, ATTRAKT was able to make FIFTY FIFTY a success, which many people consider a miracle for a small business. However, after the popularity of their song "Cupid," FIFTY FIFTY requested contract termination, sparking a heated discussion among netizens online. Meanwhile, on online discussion forums, netizens have even posted an interview from the month of May, featuring ATTRAKT's representative, Jeon Hong-joon (60 years old), and the head of the management department, Choi Seung Ho (60 years old), conducted by a certain Korean media outlet. During the interview, they revealed the difficulties that FIFTY FIFTY faced during their debut. They mentioned that due to insufficient funds, they couldn't afford the copyright association's stamp fee. As a result, the representative sold his personal Rolex watch and car that he had for 10 years, just to ensure the physical release of FIFTY FIFTY's album. Additionally, the representative treated the members like his own daughters, offering them education in both character development and English. He went the extra mile to create music videos for each of their songs after their debut. Moreover, their dormitory surpassed the standards set by other prominent agencies, providing them with three rooms and two bathrooms. Other netizens, upon seeing this, unanimously criticized FIFTY FIFTY for their ingratitude, expressing their opinions such as "I usually don't side with the company, but this time they have gone too far" and "Oh... poor representative, betrayed at the age of 60." "Hope the representative can successfully recover the money through legal proceedings..." "It's disappointing to see such ingratitude from them." "Wow, the company treated them so well, and they still betrayed them?" "This kind of idol doesn't deserve our support." "What a ridiculous situation."
