FIFTY FIFTY refuses to reach an agreement with the agency! Netizens support ATTRAKT to replace all members!

Caridee小編8/16/2023 1 min read

Earlier, the new girl group FIFTY FIFTY had a contract dispute with their management company, ATTRAKT, and it even escalated to suspicions that the producer The Givers Kim Seong-il was manipulating behind the scenes. However, the issue is still not resolved.

Today, according to Korean media, FIFTY FIFTY has refused to reach an agreement with the management company ATTRAKT. The members of FIFTY FIFTY have submitted a response to the court saying, "We have no intention of mediating with ATTRAKT."

Previously, on the 9th, the Seoul Central District Court mediated a lawsuit regarding the suspension of an exclusive contract filed by the four members of FIFTY FIFTY against their agency ATTRAKT.

The mothers of members Saena and Aran, the management of ATTRAKT, and representatives from both sides participated in a private mediation lasting about two hours, but it ended temporarily since an agreement couldn't be reached. However, the judiciary suggested keeping the possibility of an agreement and conducting additional negotiations between the parties before the 16th.

It was reported on the 16th that the members of FIFTY FIFTY submitted a response to the court indicating no intention to mediate, thus it is expected that the public trial concerning the exclusive contract dispute between FIFTY FIFTY and ATTRAKT will resume.

FIFTY FIFTY drew attention last year when they made it onto the main Billboard Hot 100 chart in the U.S., earning them the nickname "Miracle of the Small and Medium-sized Idols" and becoming a hot topic. However, in June, the members demanded the termination of their exclusive contract, citing reasons such as the company's lack of transparency in settlements, and their activities were interrupted. The Givers, the company in charge of producing ATTRAKT's album, and its representative Kim Seong-il are suspected of manipulating the members behind the scenes, and both parties are currently embroiled in a legal dispute over issues such as the copyright of "Cupid," which made the Billboard chart.

FIFTY FIFTY Incident|Former entertainment reporter exposes more secrets of The Givers!

On the 27th, Lee Jin-ho, a well-known YouTuber and former Korean entertainment journalist, released a new video on his channel titled "Shocking Exclusive! FIFTY FIFTY Incident Reversal... The Data Appearing After The Messaging App Recovery". In the video, Lee Jin-ho revealed that "ATTRAKT started preparing its own marketing team in May, and asked The Givers to return all the data they had managed during this period." According to Lee Jinho, on May 10th this year, FIFTY FIFTY's parent company ATTRAKT demanded that the outsourcing production company The Givers return all business email accounts and relevant cooperation matters. However, The Givers kept making excuses to delay and only returned the email account, which all data had been deleted from, after the members had sent the registered letters. Lee Jin-ho also mentioned that the recovered data included a conversation between Director B and the staff. Based on the disclosed information, it can be seen that an employee reported to Director B, "Director, all ATTRAKT cloud accounts have been fully backed up, and can now be destroyed. Thank you." Director B replied to the employee, "Thank you for your hard work." Additionally, the employee also sent the lyrics of Barbie's song to Director B. Lee Jin-ho explained, "That is, after The Givers backed up all information about FIFTY FIFTY and transferred it to ATTRAKT, all the data was damaged, indeed leaving corrupted electronic record data". Lee Jin-ho also mentioned that he had asked Ahn Seong-il for his opinion, but the response was "Since it's an ongoing investigation, we cannot provide an official statement." Lee Jin-ho further stated, "Why did they need to make a backup in the first place? Just with this backup, they can potentially handle FIFTY FIFTY's business later. If not, there's no reason to backup. This isn't simply about deleting."

Netizens reacted to the news with skepticism towards the members: "Just go! ATTRAKT could just find another one to replace all the members of FIFTY FIFTY", "Launch the second generation of FIFTY FIFTY", "Clearly they said they would return, but they are kicking away their good fortunes", "Give back the penalty money before you leave", "They have already lost their fans, they can't even hold on to the general public's heart, the members themselves probably know that it would be tough to make a comeback".

孫勝妍首度親上火線回應背叛前東家嫌疑!反擊:我和FIFTY FIFTY不一樣!

孫勝妍近日接受了YouTube頻道韓媒李鎮浩的採訪,回應道對自己的爭議。孫勝妍說:「時間已經過去很久了,沒想到現在這個時候會受到關注。不知不覺中受到了很多人的關注,在沒能說出我的故事的情況下,這麼多人都說不好的話感到很傷心,所以想告訴大家內情。」 對於自己背叛經紀公司:「如果看到短篇的文字,可能會有這樣的想法,所以到現在為止,我努力忍著,但是與前經紀公司代表的意見和想法差異持續了很長時間,在這個過程中感覺到了很大的不同,所以才會變成這樣,如果單方面說背叛的話,真讓人傷心。」 而孫勝妍離開前經紀公司時,被懷疑與安聖日代表有關,孫勝妍指:「真想告訴大家這是不同情況。我的感情很深,不知道現在FIFTY FIFTY們是什麼情況,但是情況卻截然不同。」 「如果是跟安聖日代表有關的話,這太不像話了,而第一次假處分結束後,我得到了很多幫助,他是其中一位。在此過程中,既要進行聲帶康復訓練,也需要練習室。在臨時處理訴訟之後,我就和安聖日代表交談。之前因為《The First Snow's Falling》這首歌合作,但之後只是過節時互相問候,生日時互相祝賀,偶爾見面喝咖啡而已。」 對於留學美國的時間也是合同期限一事,孫勝妍表示:「伯克利合格後告訴了代表,他祝賀我並讓我去一趟,在伯克利獲得了獎學金,如果不入學,獎學金就會消失,當時說可以延期1年左右,簽合約之前以提前說了。」 孫勝妍與Fortune娛樂公司解約1年後亦轉到現在的經紀公司24th Street。孫勝妍說:「當時是需要康復的狀況,在這方面確實得到了安聖日代表的幫助,自然而然地說著工作的事情,自然而然地就過去了。」對於FIFTY FIFTY事件,孫勝妍表示:「我也認為這是一件令人惋惜的事情,但是和我經歷的事情不同,所以我也很小心地說話。他們經歷的事情是在我們公司外判的工作的,所以我也不知道詳情,無話可說。」 然而,網友看了她的解釋卻留言指:「拋開所有的偏見,冷靜地聽完了孫勝妍的故事,她好像是個只顧自己、自私的人」、「除了公司虐待或不正當待遇之外,如果只是因為跟自己不合而提出訴訟,這確實是背叛,真是無語,請懂點事吧!」 小編:網友都認為她是火上加油!🔥

FIFTY FIFTY經紀公司申請美英中日4國商標權!力阻成員海外活動!K-Pop

FIFTY FIFTY經紀公司申請美英中日4國商標權!力阻成員海外活動!

FIFTY FIFTY所屬公司ATTRAK正式向美國、英國、中國、日本4個國家申請了商標權,因此即使FIFTY FIFTY專屬合約效力被停止可以獨立活動,今後4名成員在沒有得到ATTRAK同意的情況下,也很難在海外以FIFTY FIFTY的名字進行活動。 ATTRAK於今年7月5日在4個國家同時申請了商標權,已經賦予了申請號碼正在辦理正式登記手續。ATTRAK的專利代理人25日接受《文化日報》採訪時表示:「專利權或商標權必須按照各國獨立的原則,在相關各國獲得個別權利才能在該國行使權利,不能擁有韓國的商標權在美國或英國行使商標權。」 此前,ATTRAK於今年5月15日在韓國申請了FIFTY FIFTY的英文名稱商標後,6月19日提出專屬合同假處分申請的4名成員申請了韓文名等商標的事被曝光。 但是,美國和英國等國家根據《商標法》優先權制度,以ATTRAK在韓國首次申請商標的5月15日為基準,因此今後即使4名成員在海外申請商標權,優先權也在ATTRAK。代理人亦表示:「海外商標權申請程序是我們委託美國律師事務所向美國專利廳受理。」 如果ATTRAK申請的海外商標權正式註冊,那麼4名成員在海外也難以進行活動。在輿論和媒體的壓力下,4名成員堅拒對話、堅持專屬合約效力停止假處分申請,相關人士指:「因為信賴受損,所以很難再一起工作」,因此合約停止後,一般較集中於海外活動。 然而從現在的輿論來看,4名成員很難在韓國活動,因此有預測稱,在美國Billboard排行榜、英國Official排行榜等取得令人刮目相看的他們可能會與外國唱片公司合作,以海外市場為主展開活動。但是如果ATTRAK獲得商標權,她們就不能在海外使用FIFTY FIFTY的商標。 相關人士亦表示:「就像BTS、BLACKPINK這個名字一樣,每個組合的名字都體現了他們的本質。如果出道不到一年的新人不能使用這個名字,那麼活動幅度只能大幅減少,再加上在知識產權概念強烈的海外,在沒有權利的情況下使用商標,可能會捲入巨大的訴訟中。」 小編:全代表要強硬起來了!💪🏻
