The new girl group FIFTY FIFTY is in turmoil due to a dispute over their contract with their management company ATTRAKT. Not only have they been accused of unilaterally breaching their contract, some are even trying to take away the group's trademark rights, causing public discontent. Many have noted the members' ingratitude. Despite this, on the 13th, the four members spoke out to refute all statements, and exposed that they have been mistreated by the company, sparking further discussion.
The members of FIFTY FIFTY released an additional statement on ATTRAKT on 13th, revealing not only that their health condition is very poor, but also accusing that they have not received the care they should have from the company during their activities.
The members stated, "Even if we faint or fall ill, we want to stand on the stage and sing. Therefore, we all encourage each other with sincere hearts and effort, telling each other not to give up and to persist until the end." The members expressed their grievances, "We also want to be protected, but because we couldn't bear the physical pain, we had to call an ambulance barefoot in the early morning and be taken away."
The members also mentioned, "Even if one person faints, there's no guardian around. We can only rely on each other, carrying one another back and forth from the emergency room. That's how we managed to hang in there." They further said, "Every one of our songs is the result of blood and sweat. Tracks such as 'Lovin' Me', 'Tell Me', 'Higher', and 'Log-in' were all completed using oxygen respirators after fainting multiple times from panic attacks during their recordings."
In addition, while recording "Cupid", the members with chronic inflammation delayed their surgery, relying on painkillers to participate in the completion of the song until the early hours. Each member even publicly released their own experience of symptoms and doctors' diagnoses.
Member Saena even said that she started losing hair and had irregular menstrual cycles due to dieting. She weighed as little as 39 kg. On the other hand, member Sio was diagnosed with panic disorder and social phobia, but her kidney disorder was caused by the extreme diet forced by the management company.
Aran, who had a gallbladder surgery, said, "I had to postpone my surgery, risking my life because I couldn't cancel my original schedule. Now, amid all sorts of rumors spinning around, I'm under the dual pressure of post-operative complications and mental stress, unable to eat or sleep properly, and I haven't received any help." He expressed resentment, saying he became a victim of rumors.
