FIFTY FIFTY continues to expose allegations that the company is forcing them to lose weight

2023-10-16
The dispute between FIFTY FIFTY and their management company ATTRAKT is still ongoing. The usually silent members of FIFTY FIFTY have unexpectedly voiced their protests on their personal IG accounts, countering the company's claim that it "takes care of its members."
The four members of FIFTY FIFTY, Keena, Saena, Sio, and Aran, have been continuously revealing secrets about their management company, ATTRAKT, on their IG account fifi_fifi1118 for three consecutive days. It's been two months since they posted their first message on August 17th, stating, "We must find out the truth in difficulties".
The members made three announcements over three days from the 12th to the 14th, presenting evidence that CEO Jun Hong Joon of ATTRAKT used the advance payment from the investment company as expenses for the FIFTY FIFTY event and settled it without prior notice, and attended the investment briefing of the U.S. management company H.
FIFTY FIFTY also pointed out that the company's forced weight loss and stress led to a severe deterioration in mental health. Specific illnesses were detailed, and four members even uploaded their hospital diagnoses as proof. The company forced them to go ahead with recording, filming, and advertising schedules without considering the artists' conditions.
However, their expressions of frustration and injustice on Instagram did not change netizens' attitudes. Netizens commented, "If they were initially in poor health, they shouldn't have made their debut. It's problematic to attend investment briefings and proceed with advertisement shootings before a holiday schedule without prior explanation. The members seem to be completely clueless about how society operates like students." Most importantly, netizens pointed out that FIFTY FIFTY tried to change the direction of public opinion by using evidence that the court didn't approve, which made netizens more unsatisfied.
Previously, FIFTY FIFTY filed an injunction application to suspend the exclusive contract with the agency in June this year, but the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court rejected the application, saying "ATTRAKT did not violate the liquidation and health management obligations".
Some netizens speculated that after FIFTY FIFTY disagreed with the judgment, they appealed and needed to continue the legal contest with the company. The members are eager to create a favorable situation for themselves, which is why they continue to post explosive articles. Some netizens pointed out that the members' "selective" communication is very immature. Articles criticizing FIFTY FIFTY have been continuously appearing on various Korean websites, but the members of FIFTY FIFTY have not opened the function to reply to posts on Instagram, indicating that they just want to express their opinions.
