In the ongoing contract dispute involving the girl group FIFTY FIFTY, recent developments have garnered significant attention. A netizen recently shared a series of pictures comparing the past dormitories of various girl groups, including NewJeans, which belongs to a large-scale planning company, and GFRIEND, Lovelyz, and Secret, which are associated with small and medium-sized planning companies. These images have sparked interest among netizens.

According to ATTRAKT, the management company responsible for handling FIFTY FIFTY, the group's representative, Jeon Hong Joon, has provided the members with a dormitory located in the Gangnam area.

The dormitory consists of three rooms, two bathrooms, and has a monthly rent of 3.3 million won. Additionally, the company has also been covering tutoring fees for various subjects for the group members.

Dispatch exposes new update in FIFTY FIFTY controversy: Producer suspected of impersonating CEO and composer based on transcribed audio.K-Pop

Dispatch 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!"

Lovelyz, a girl group under Woollim Entertainment, made their debut in 2014. The group consists of members Ye In, Kei, Ji Ae, Su Jeong, Mi Joo, Ji Soo, Jin, and Baby Soul. In the 2015 broadcast of "Shin Dong Yup's Bachelor Party," Lovelyz revealed that all eight members shared a single room in their dormitory for sleeping purposes. This provided insight into their living arrangements at the time.

The group Secret, consisting of members Hana, Sunhwa, Jieun, and Hyosung, made their debut in 2009. In the past variety show "Invincible Youth," the members revealed their semi-basement dormitory, which surprised many netizens. The disclosure of their living conditions generated a strong reaction among viewers, who expressed shock at the revelation.

The up-and-coming girl group NewJeans, composed of members Minji, Haerin, Hanni, Danielle, and Hyein, made their debut last year under the management of HYBE. During their appearance on the tvN variety show "Yoo Quiz," the group members mentioned that they are currently residing in a dormitory with two rooms.

Following the revelation of past dormitories belonging to idols from small and medium-sized agencies, including a comparison with the dormitory of the popular girl group, NewJeans, managed by a large agency, netizens shared their thoughts.

Comments such as "The idols I support also reside in 3-4 person rooms with bunk beds," and "Even major agencies don't provide such dormitories," were expressed. Some netizens referenced BTS's early days, mentioning that the group had only two rooms, with one allocated for the manager and the other for the members. In contrast, there were observations that FIFTY FIFTY's dormitory appeared to be more favourable compared to New Jeans'.

The despicable behavior of FIFTY FIFTY is added again! They have long planned to steal the trademark rights of the group! The exposure of their lowly tactics has led to a huge backlash on the internet.K-Pop

The despicable behavior of FIFTY FIFTY is added again! They have long planned to steal the trademark rights of the group! The exposure of their lowly tactics has led to a huge backlash on the internet.

The members of the girl group FIFTY FIFTY (Keena, Saena, Sio, Aran) have become a hot topic recently due to their contract disputes with their current management company, ATTRAKT. The controversy continues to linger, and today (5th), Korean media outlet SBS exclusively revealed that FIFTY FIFTY has already taken their group name and other trademarks, sparking a new round of discussion. Due to the FIFTY FIFTY members not only unilaterally terminating their exclusive contract with their management company ATTRAKT, but also accusing the company of "not settling profits" and "ignoring members' health conditions", which led to the inability to continue cooperation, it was surprisingly revealed that a third-party force, Warner Music, had attracted them with a 20 billion incentive, intending to let all members switch over, leaving many netizens in disbelief. Today (5th), Korean media SBS reported that the members of FIFTY FIFTY had pre-registered Korean group and stage names as trademarks, and this took place on the same day they proposed termination of their contracts. Therefore, it is speculated that they had long planned unilateral termination of the contracts. Although the registered names are not the real names of the group members, some netizens have found out that the names of the four registrants match those of the members' family members. It's clear that they registered under their family members' names, a clever move that left many netizens feeling disheartened. The current management company, ATTRAKT, has only registered the English name 'FIFTY FIFTY' as trademark, but has not registered the Korean group name and the trademark rights of the stage names of the group members. After the news was exposed, it immediately became a hot topic on the web. Many netizens couldn't stand it and bitterly criticized, "You're not young anymore, dare to do it but not take responsibility? ","You're really a representative artist of backstabbing ","It really disgusts me, how can there be such a person ","Are the newcomers so terrible now?" Currently, FIFTY FIFTY has not only suspended their activities, but also cancelled all their previously arranged shows and collaborations. They have cultivated a negative image of ingratitude among the public. Netizens further exclaimed, "Since they can't make a comeback in the entertainment industry, they might as well retire," and "I don't even want to watch them anymore."

Members 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!
