from what keena said it sounds like someone tried to convince these girls to leave their company and they would get a much better deal elsewhere and it totally backfired on them which is sad because they are talented and could have gone far.
There are lots of talents girls out there. Their success is due to the kind boss who even borrowed money from his mom to support them. These girls are so well taken care of by the boss, Jeon but they turned their backs on him after listen to the sinister & despicable worm tongue Ahn Sung-il by luring them with bigger rewards and bad-mouthing Jeon!
The Korean music industry is full of crooks and kind bosses like Jeon is a gem among the dirt! Many Korean actress had been pimped by their agencies and these girls were lucky that Jeon is no such crook! These girls were so young and yet they were already blinded by greed and stupidity! Hope they learn this valuable lesson and not make the same mistake in future. But they singing career is a goner as nobody will ever sign them on again. There are lots of talented girls out there eager to replace them!

I mean it is rare to have such a kind boss like JHJ, especially in the entertainment industry. This worm-tongue snake ASI deserved to be kicked out of the industry! ASI is basically a piece of human trash!
The other 3 girls were like dumb girls used by cheating boyfriends but still believe in all the bullshit after they had been cheated repeatedly.
Sometimes people just need to have some common sense and sanity to survive in this world! The 3 girls just need to grow up further.
@@davidhan9979 Thanks a lot for the clarification showing the extra bit of context of how ASI manipulated the situation (while it technically still aligns with OP's statement of "someone trying to convince these girls to leave their company;" just revealed to be more nefarious). Meanwhile, this turned out to align with how I've been seeing this situation as young girls being caught up in between a corporate power struggle, and only further justifies how sad I feel about all this.
These girls are young newcomers too. At that age and level of experience it's easy to get manipulated by people who have been in the industry for a long time.
@@marvinfok65 He did all of that to save his failing company. 5050 was just the tool he needed to do that.
Hes not a bad guy at all, but hes not taking out personal loans for someone else 😂 Its obviously for him.
I'm really sad about it, I feel bad for the girls, I'm glad Keena spill the tea on everything on what happened
I heard the company will add 3 fillup members instead... Such a shame, the girls were at the peak of their career but a wrong choice made every efforts to vanish 😢
@@iloveadinosaur they joined one hit wonder gang
@@iloveadinosaurwell when you hit your peak in your career the only way to go now is down. They peaked too soon which was the reason why everyone involved took advantage.
The provisional injunction lawsuit they filed does not require strong proof, unlike the main lawsuit. If even one of their claims had been somewhat consistent with the facts, they would have won the injunction suit. They are outright liars and there is no entertainment agency on earth that would accept them. There is a good reason why not only the Korean people but also all music industry officials in Korea criticize them. If ATTRAKT's CEO was as corrupt and incompetent as they claim, composers from around the world would not have sent over a thousand songs, and JTBC would not have volunteered to host the New Girl group audition broadcast. Currently, producer Alawn, who has created 16 Billboard #1 songs, is working on creating songs for ATTRAKT's new girl group. The National Assembly of the Republic of Korea also considers this incident to be a case where a singer betrayed the agency representative.
The winners of the Fifty Incident are ATTRAKT and KEENA. ATTRAK is working on a new girl group project with an investment of $7.5 million from a Singaporean investor, and KEENA is expected to receive a settlement of approximately $170,000 within this year. The three liars' settlement money will be provisionally seized in the damages lawsuit.
Thank Keena's mother for doubting that path from the start and her father recording that call. At this point i will guess the only reason the other three still not take back their lawsuit is bcuz of the parent's ego. They are probably those type of people who will never admit they're wrong and their ego is much more important to them than their childs future.
Even though they are still young, the girls are now of legal age in Korea, so they don't really need their parents permission to do anything
@@aviannaislaclara3774 yeah i agree the girls are of age to be responsible as well but if culturally speaking parents still have the most influence in such serious situations like legal battles 'cause for them their family name/rep is on the line from people who personally knows them.
well not really…one of the members seriously could’ve died bc of the company, I don’t blame the other three for not taking the lawsuit back tbh they were physically and mentally abused
@@xkangaru Could've died? Which part?
Honestly this should be a warning for all the greedy idols (in special the rookies ones) bc those 3 ex members of 50/50 def got what they deserves!!
Glad keena's back to the company and I gladly will support her in the new gg 🥰🤗🤗💖
Poor Keena is now getting hate and being accused of being a backstabber. I’m wishing her and the new 50/50 the best of luck. As for the other members I hope they’re able to pay off their debt and put the situation behind them
She is the oldest member and the first to realize what's actually happening to them.
If things had gone as planned, they would have gone to Warner Music Korea. That was the goal of The Givers and the girls. As Cupid became so famous, the incident became public, the truth became known to the public, and their plans were disrupted. Attract has conclusive evidence. This is because Attract successfully recovered the data deleted by The Givers.
what makes me uncomfortable is that they were ok with being told that their song was being pushed up inorganically, you shouldnt trust someone who is willing to be dishonest like that and is trying to gain your trust through those methods.
i feel very sorry that all of this happened. i really like 50/50
True, I really like them and their voices. I am still praying for them though. In an outsider's point of view, the best was to hold on because financially, can they afford to pay back the investment? I believe every idol would sign these kinds of contract. The company will invest in you and then you'd pay it back according to the contract stated. What they did was a shot at greed and fear. Let's be honest. Not judging them or anything but let's call it as what it is. They let The Giver feed them with rumors and they never bothered to get some confirmation, at least. Nevertheless, I hope they get another chance, and this time, I hope they find a company they deem to be good.

I can hear you. I will stan for Keena for her second chance with other talented and KIND human being. ♡
They are children
That part is what gets me, how can they believe that this little known man could make their song sky rocket on the Billboard chart while the bigger companies in SK have struggled to do so, to the point that very select artists have been able to reach the top.
Not only a Bad reputation, but they have millions of won in debt to the Attrak, so I am sure that no company would take the risk to debut them and possibly pay their debt. Those 3 girls' dreams end right the moment they terminate their contract with Attrak.
Just to make things clear, ATTRAKT terminated their contracts because they violated the terms agreed on... So yeah the three digged their own grave, by not doing what Keena did...
fifty fifty was the girl group that made me think that they were the ones that will lead the next gen of kpop because of their massive success, I also was sad of this outcome they could've gotten bigger rather than trusting a big ol' dummy
Ahn sung il gaslighted 50/50 and made them file a lawsuit against Attrakt ceo. and after 50/50 break away from the contract, his goal was to sell 50/50 to warner bros and make 10billion won(7.3m) profit for himself. Ahn sung il is a conartist.
The thousands of stans who demonized the shit out of ATTRAKT should be shown this video-series. Even people who dared to defend Attrakt in the slightest way were being dragged.
The thinking is monkey-brain: company=perpetrator, idol=victim absolutely always.
It's doubtful 90% of the outrage mob even knew about The Giver.
Attrakts ceo attempted suicide after experiencing all the struggles and battles.
While the girls got screwed by The Giver, and I'm sorry for them (such mistakes can happen, especially if being lied to) Attrakt is the biggest victim of the entire case.
Right
Attrackt was lying a bit tho since some of attrackt staff spoke out on the whole selling his car BS
@@AUGHHHHHBBG your point? is attract involved in this mess like they accused? or just a ceo who want attract people into liking their group with bs?
you think this world run without malice and lies? really? you are too far from reality. gsh
@@yorokuni clearly your far from reality cus your yapping and putting words in my mouth
@@AUGHHHHHBBG What kind of fake rumors are u seeing?!! The CEO of Attrakt DID borrow his elderly mother’s savings and sell his car to help raise these girls.
Sad. This group had such huge potential. They wasted their own talent and reputation.
tru
I really liked their song “tell me”
but now, I dont even know if im allowed to enjoy to it anymore after knowing all this
The three girls are in a serious situation. Not to mention lawsuits for damages, the girls could also be caught up in criminal lawsuits. First of all, since ATTRAKT has solid evidence, it is certain that the executives and employees of The Givers will go to jail. Even if ATTRAKT does not file criminal charges against the three girls, if the girls' complicity is revealed during the investigation of The Givers, the prosecutor can open an investigation into the girls ex officio.
The girls are young. I wouldn't blame them for this mess.
@@hikpmv they are to blame as well as the givers. Keena shouldn’t of even been allowed to come back either but that’s the CEO’s decision.
@@moonlightstarshipthe CEO gave them the option to stop their cases and keena followed suit. So it's understandable why he didn't sue her
The fact that The Givers didn't want to be included in the lawsuit should be a huuuge red flag to parents. I was on Attrack's side from the beginning, but now I feel bad for the girls. I feel like their parents failed them a lot in this situation.
It's true that Money can make people change even with their Parents 💔
Their downfall came as fast as their success.
That's because they got greedy real fast too.
@@saintsinner4781they weren’t greedy
@@soondoongie As a matter of fact they were. They tried leaving their original company for to get a much better deal from another company when in fact they know that is breach of contract. That's greed right there.
@@saintsinner4781No thats called being lied too. If i tell you "hey youre company is hoeing you and wont prove otherwise. I'll treat you better AND make you more money" and you fall for it that isnt greed. Thats you being upset because you feel betrayed and this person is gonna treat you better. And i need to make this known im not a fan of the group i just like "Cupid". But i work in the music industry. From here in the States to Korea, Japan, India, Brazil and so on. Wherever someone can capitalize they will. These girls just fell prey to the snake instead of trusting the horse they rode to the location. Naivete has killed many many more careers than this. And it wasnt greed. Just a sad choice of falling for the snakes. Keena only caught it because they were sloppy and let her catch them in a lie
@@SunzNbunz And again knowing you have an existing contract with a company wether it's music, movies, sports, etc. You should know it is illegal to sign with another. Just that fact alone should have made them rethink their actions. It's not like they had a terrible start with the current company. They had a good start and their music was much appreciated. It's just that they were offered "better" by the other company and fell for it. The other company may be a snake but yet they fell for it for thinking they should get more in an instant not trusting the origin company they work with. Greed is still there.
The members and their parents got greedy simple as that. They were promised riches and wanted to collect. Not only did they ruin their careers but now both the members and the parents are going to lose a lot of money. No one is going to take them on and have to fear of it happening again. Keena may still be able to salvage something but who knows for sure. Having Keena on attraks side is the final nail on the other 3's careers. If anything comes from this is new groups will thing twice about being blinded by greed
I wouldn't be surprised at all if ATTRAKT sues the crap out of those 3 girls.
At the very least, defamation and breach of contract.
He actually did sue givers CEO 😅 a few weeks ago for
1) trying to sell 5050 to warner music being only the producer and trainers . Yes they manipulative did the girls and their parents in with lies etcetera but those 3 parents were either stupid or greedy ( maybe both ) .
Didn't you see the report about givers CEO going to the police for investigation 😊 .
@@evanyong5871 I already knew that ATTRAKT was going after the Givers.
I'm simply saying that those other 3 girls could expect to get served with legal papers very soon.
@gillove189 Because young, naive girls are easily swayed when someone they think is in authority tells them how "poorly" they are being treated, when in reality they aren't.
Those girls had their day in court to prove their case, and an impartial judge said their case had no merit.
And yet another judge told them the exact same thing when they appealed 2 months later.
What kind of money did those girls think they were owed, anyways?
The "Cupid" cd single sold pnly 26,000 copies, which is nothing.
And agencies make practically squat from streaming sites.
Meanwhile those girls were living rent-free in a house in Gangnam.
Not a dorm, a HOUSE.
Those girls didn't know how good they had it.
@gillove189
Well this attacks CEO/boss whatever is mostly a hands off guy 🤣( from what i learn from reports ) that didn't build relationships with his artists and his company is small ( most probably 1-3 men operation ) he thinks that paying this givers company would solve all his headaches he just need to pay them and don't need to do anything 😉
@@evanyong5871That is not true. He was involved in the auditions and tried to meet with the girls as much as he could.
Imagine leaving the person that did EVERYTHING for you to succeed just because someone told you lies. You just abandon that person just like that. Imagine how the person feels. It's sad for them, but i don't know what these girls and their fans were having in their heads. Did y'all really expect a good end for the girls ??
They even wrote letters if how they were mistreated, like to what point where they brainwashed ?
Keena made the right choice
They were 18, 18, 19, and 20 years old when this whole thing started, taking the advice someone they believed to be an industry senior with expertise, a trusted producer and part of the training staff whom they had known for a long time… The idol industry is known for incredibly abusive conditions and the idols start off so young they’re basically groomed to ignore red flags.
It’s awful but it’s why the industry needs higher protections for the performers, so that they’re protected from being left as easy targets for manipulators.
I feel bad for the Attrakt CEO but only so much in that he was already rich before this, he’s rich now, and he’ll be rich after because he’s already starting new groups, whereas these girls’ entertainment careers are over, they have no fallback plans, are about to be sued to oblivion, and may never financially recover from the debt, lawsuits, and emotional abuse.
@@hanakei.crochethonestly keena is wise for returning to the company after finding out the truth but what I now don't understand is why the other members didn't do the same after finding out that they were manipulated and lied to, wouldn't it be better to just return to the group, it's kind of Sus becuz if everything has been cleared up it would have just been a case of misunderstanding and would have ended up like the exo baekhyun, Chen, D.O court case against sm, I believe they have an ulterior motives or have a reason why they don't want to come back
They were most likely being greedy. You're only easily brainwashed as an older teen/young adult when you hear things that you want to hear. They were probably thinking things were going to go their way and wasn't thinking passed $$$ signs
@@hanakei.crochet exactly! they are adults and can use their brains. so it's true they choose to trust the wrong person. so they are wrong.
@@hanakei.crochettheir parents were in on it so their ages doesn’t matter. It all boils down to loyalty vs greediness.
The 3 girls wanted to come back with Keena but they demand that the CEO have no contact with them. So the CEO said, since you girls don't want to see me, I also don't want to see you. Contract terminated... Bye Bye 😅
Lmaoooo
Good for him it seems these girls wanna have their cake and eat it too? Nah be humble
These girls are spoiled kids who seems to be ignorant how the real world works...I welcome them to join us in our daily 9- 5 which will help them face reality..
They want the hand and the whole arm
😂😂
I watched a video of Keena singing solo - she's incredibly talented and I am eager to hear the music she produces moving forward 😊 🎶🎵
I also think it was very classy of her to share her own experience while refraining from putting down the other members.
No lie, she wasn't my bias, but she was the most talented of them all
Glad she did not go down the rabbit hole w the rest. She is deserving of grace after all. Can't say the same for the other 3. Ppfftt
Watch the latest cover of Keena
they wasted their own potential nobody wants to work with such idols I don't think they can come back to industry
I feel sorry about what happened to the girls. They missed the red flags, trusted a manipulator and it ruined them. That being said, even children are accountable to their mistakes otherwise we wouldn't have juvie (as messed up as that system is). There were several points where they could have stopped, but didn't. Sealing their fate. I only hope they move on into regular lives outside the spotlight.
You don't blame a victim for falling into the lies of a manipulator. If so, there would not be laws for protect people from scams, sexual abuse, or drug abuse.
You started off right. So close but completely missed the point. You can’t victim blame.
That's life! Remaining members are fxxxed forever. No sane idol management company would touch them after this toxic incident.
I said this on another post but I'll write it here too: I think what makes it worse in some eyes (from what I've seen online) is that they took something as serious as mistreatment to do this. Many idols are actually being abused and mistreated. It takes a lot of courage to find the strength to come forward, but this sets them back MASSIVELY. Legally and in the eyes of the public, by them doing this, there will be a new precedent and make this a lot harder for them. "Pulling a FiftyFifty" will put any group in jeopardy because now that those girls lied (manipulated or not) and said they were mistreated to make themselves look like they were wronged when in reality it was to garner sympathy for them pulling what they pulled, companies actually doing harm can say well the idols they're hurting are just doing what 50/50 did, and it'll be harder for idols to be believed when they come foreword.
I agree with you. Not saying mistreatment should be normalized but there was no definite evidence of mistreatment with 50/50 (or maybe I missed that part, please do correct me if I'm wrong). It was he says, she says kind. Being called to the office for a meeting a week prior to a vacation is no maltreatment at all, nor taking back the sweets you hid and throwing it. Goodness, they are to be on strict diet as idols need to conform to a body type, unfortunately. I think this is also part of their contract. What people dont realize is, choosing to be an idol means choosing to lose your liberty in an extreme sense in exchange for fame, money, and prestige. The KPOP community is a very strict community mostly and holds a high standard for their idols to a fault. Wanting to be an idol is letting yourself get cooked in high flame oil with your own two feet.
@@muffins1653 people love what they want but forgot, they are working to please everyone.
they think with freedom, you can get money without force. sick fans.
@@muffins1653 The funny thing not a lot of international fans seem to know is that the person who threw away the snacks these girls were hiding is not a staff of Attrakt (the label they are suing) but a staff member of the Givers (the label they planned the coup with). The “cruelty” is actually from the label they are running away to. 😂😂😂 How dumb are they and how dumb are you international fans who still think these girls are innocents? Please wake up and stop insulting hardworking kpop singers who actually work hard for their living and still manages to stay loyal to the company who raised them instead of sneakily trying to jump ship to a bigger deal with their image intact.
@@4viewing wow "how dumb are you international fans"? Nice, I think you might want to reword that a bit and maybe comment that part in other netizens comments. If you aren't able to comprehend what I said, let me put it simply, what 50/50 did is not okay, it's biting the hand that fed them the moment they got fame.
"funny thing not a lot of international fans seem to know is that the person who threw the snacks these girls were hiding is not a staff of Attrakt but of the Givers" - welp, never heard that part in the news or maybe I missed it, but still, regardless of who threw it, they signed a contract which included a strict diet regimen. Sweets pack a lot of carbs that can make someone gain a weight faster (but that depends on the body type as some bodies do not gain no matter how big the food intake like me).
And seriously, in which part of this specific comment thread by ashnxght has been disrespecting the hardworking kpops? You might want to reread this comment thread and comprehend what we were saying. The first part of your comment, was a good information for us to know, the second part, you're accusing us all of a sudden. 😮💨 what did we say that somehow robbed you the wrong way?
@@yorokuni kinda sad really, if you think about it. When I first heard them sing, I really like them. But they pulled some UNO reverse card on their company and want to jump ship while they're at it. To me, that really leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Moreso when they were saying they rather stop being an idol than be with Attrakt, I mean, for what? For a person to say something like that, the cause may be so great but time and time again, the argument of 50/50 gets refuted with evidence from the other side while 50/50 hasnt given some crucial tidbits other than 'trust me bro".
Anyway, they also accused the company of not being transparent with the sales? Like, I get it that their song went viral but...that does not translate automatically to money. And even if it does, they need to pay off the debts they owe first, you know. Depending on their agreed percentage, they would've pulled through if they stayed. It wasnt a smart move, tbh. That, and the poaching Giver people were proven to have scammed some people before. I would understand if 50/50 left if they were sold to investors for sexual favors...
It’s sad what the outcome was they were all so talented :(
The three girls are in a serious situation. Not to mention lawsuits for damages, the girls could also be caught up in criminal lawsuits. First of all, since ATTRAKT has solid evidence, it is certain that the executives and employees of The Givers will go to jail. Even if ATTRAKT does not file criminal charges against the three girls, if the girls' complicity is revealed during the investigation of The Givers, the prosecutor can open an investigation into the girls ex officio.
Should say sorry to Attrakt which is the biggest victim of this case
After Keena returned, I saw several outrageous fans portraying ATTRAKT as the devil and claiming the three remaining members as victims, even though there were articles about the matter. Being a fan of an idol is a beautiful thing, but it shouldn't make you an ape who stops thinking. Being a blind fan is a shortcut to ruining yourself and causing harm to others. It's not a fan.
Apes are really smart.....you need to pick a different animal like a koala 🐨 or sloth 🦥 there some of the dumbest animals
@@jesusalejo84and panda. 😁

i know someone from fb who's still naming attrakt as 'attrash' lol 😂 i don't see him after keena spilled the hot tea 😂
aran was literally on the verge of getting cancer because the company wouldn’t make time in her schedule to get surgery
Its a shame fifty fifty didnt listen to the ceo of attract when he was willing to reach out to them . He seems/d like a humble man they could of tried contacting his other groups and learnt more about him than fall into this bullshit .
Because of The Givers and the girls' betrayal, the ATTRAKT CEO tried to commit suicide on a bridge. He is said to have turned his mind to thoughts of his old mother in his last moments. ATTRAKT CEO is not an incompetent, corrupt, and unscrupulous person like The Givers and the girls claim. If ATTRAKT CEO was really that kind of person, numerous media outlets, especially Dispatch, would have reported it as a scoop. The National Assembly of the Republic of Korea also considers this incident to be a betrayal by the singer.
oh please. You are adding your imaginative stories of suicide attempt and all.....what a joke. The CEO is really cunning n crooked
I dont like that people believe the Ceo of Attrakt did everything for 5050 because he loved and believed in them. This is the music industry people.
Attrakt was severley in debt and going into banktuptcy. He would have been a failure and destitute if his company failed.
He borrowed money from his friends and family, took out loans, and ate less inorder to make 5050 a success and save his company.
He may very well have stood on a bridge and contemplated jumping but its not from betrayal, its from the possibility of losing it all despite doing all of this work.
Hes not a bad guy by any means but he doesnt love 5050 like theyre his children or something. They were a way to make money.
Fr he seemed like a really sweet person from what I've read about him . The poor man ):
@@UFO339Thank you for being fair and saying “poor man” instead of “poor girls”. In Korea we have a lot more evidence to help us see the situation as it really is and that the girls are also offenders. The only victim in the situation in Attrakt and the CEO of Attrakt
@@4viewing idk about the evidence but ik that the CEO tried reaching out to them multiple times but they still continued with the lawsuit anyways anyone sensible will feel pitty for the CEO
I so hope the entire group finds a way to start their group again. I miss Fifty-Fifty.
The ATTRAKT CEO was suddenly stabbed in the back, and the girls, their parents (many of their relatives were also involved), and executives and employees of The Givers conspired to socially bury the innocent ATTRAKT CEO. If ATTRAKT CEO had done only one thing wrong, the vast majority of Koreans and all music industry officials would not have supported ATTRAKT CEO. Composers from around the world would not have sent over a thousand songs to the ATTRAKT CEO
this is just sad.. for attact and fiftyfifty.. both of them lost in this.. they should sue sihan instead.
Keena we love you. Stay strong and hold your head up high.
*Lets all just agree on hating The Givers. This is all their fault*
Honestly they are so many idols are waiting for debuting each year it's a pity that they got chance but they runied it by getting themselves involved in lawsuits. If only they could talked it through maybe this wouldn't happened.Then again it's feel like those girls wanted to make money without the company getting involved or paying the debt. They are not that young because even much younger idols get signed for 7-8 years contact so i don't understand how they including their very experienced parents believed givers. Thank god the oldest member came out of it without mess
@@gillove189 yeah it's complex and CEO might not be the nicest person but at least he provided for them like dorms and other necessities. I feel their parents refuse to submit that's why they didn't return to the company. Then again we don't know behind the scenes. The court is already on the ceo's side so now it doesn't matter. Moreover fifty-fifty is a brand name most of the people doesn't know the faces of the members. They are going to add new members.
Meanwhile company is hiring new members, can we see the performance of cupid with Keena and Sabrina? ♡♡♡ That would be so awesome and would be a great gift to the fans were waiting
Haha, I know the song but don’t know the members. So it makes no difference if they hire new members 😂
Why did those backstabbers think that people would support them if they leave?
@@sapphiremoonstone939 they initially were brainwashed and later on became extremely greedy selfish and snobbish. They believe they r better than black pink New Jeans or Taylor Swift. Lol
@@sapphiremoonstone939 it does make a difference because the reason when the song went viral was because of how well their voices worked together. the new members aren’t gonna have that so it will be different in a bad way
@@pleasetouchgrass no, good song is good song who are singer. the singer are singer, but singer dont have good song never popular.
@@aozoraaoi3745The only reason why Fifty Fifty blew up is due to Aran and Sio's vocal, you can't deny this. Without those 2, I don't think the new gg is going to work. Especially because Attrakt lost their vocalists and their main dancer
A rapper.. doesn't have a big effect
A tragic story indeed but knetz were right saying a lot of it was their own fault
It was very carefully planned. They should have known better as young adults
people are now just tired to reply to you
ATTRAKT is currently preparing for the second season of FIFTY. From the perspective of trainees in Korea, FIFTY 2 is a dream job. ATTRAKT CEO is a humble, sincere and capable person. Composers from all over the world sent him over a thousand songs.
I'm sad the other three didn't make the same choice as Keena...
@gillove189 So the CEO of The Givers Xian decived the other three memebers saying things like he had "proof" to win their lawsuit against Attrakt. However, he lied he didn't have any proof. When Keena started seeing through the manipulation, her and her mom even tried to talk to the other three girls, but for whatever reason, they didn't apologize and come back to Attrakt. Yes, there may be some things that were in between the lines and there may have been some shady things in the past, but not speaking for others but I genuinely believe that Attrakt had the best interests for 5050.
Keena, may your future be of good fortune 🔮 🌌
its baffling only 1 of the 4 decided to reconsider their idea and apologize. How is it possible the other 3 thought this was a better decision. Good for Keena for figuring it out, sad that the other 3 didnt see the big picture, and now everything crumbles for them.
Those three despicable liars considered ATTRAKT CEO to be such a naive fool. If ATTRAKT CEO had been as vile and corrupt as they claim, they would not have dared to bury him socially. The problem was that ATTRAKT CEO may be a naive person, but he was not an idiot. Look at the current situation! The three liars are so embarrassed that they don't even dare to go out. The fact that composers from around the world have sent over a thousand songs to ATTRAKT speaks volumes about the current situation.
The saddest reality is that there are still losers who will still be on sio's, aran's and saena's side. Despite all this evidence and whatnot
There are innocent overseas fans who are still deceived by the lies of the three girls, but even if there had been just one unfair treatment, the girls would have won the injunction suit.
There is no entertainment agency in the solar system that would accept those three people. Who would invest in strange people who think investment is debt?
After everything the CEO has done for them, they chose to trust somebody else and lie. What were they thinking to have that mindset? Is it the money? Greed? They were only just getting started and couldn't wait for a bigger future.
The ceo didn’t do all that much he did his job but I understand the girls too cus imagine having a bit hit song and someone tells you that you can get the money you deserve from your massive hit when if you stay with your company it can backlash on you and who knows when you will get the money let alone how much
@@AUGHHHHHBBG well music is always gonna be passive income and the big money comes when they go on tour this is only their first big hit too impatient these girls
@@tooknee maybe cus I'm american and in the US artist actually get the money from their music but like I said Korean culture with not even paying the artist first year is INSANITY. Like no cus imagine training for years and finally debuting then having a massive hit song and getting 0 pay. Idgaf I would backstab too cus I would love to make music but I ain't doing shit for free either I'm getting my damn money and majority of the money too cus companies taking 80% of the money will never not be insanity to me.
@@AUGHHHHHBBG big difference tho in america they come out making their own music and doing stuff for themselves and paying for most of it unless a label has signed them but korea they are like groomed all expenses paid no? plus after all the training they could flop if the music isn't a hit or doesn't trend
@@AUGHHHHHBBGas i know label = agency in kpop, if you sell song to label then it own by label.label promote song so agency, unless you play indi, you produce, promote by your alone all cost. same different angle of view
Ahn Sung Il that bastard.
Well if even after attrackt giving them a chance they're still being greedy for money/fame they need to be sued, imagine betraying someone who gave u a sucess, ig attrackt gonna sue them and they gonna ended up blacklisted,this is why people should not be greedy
Sorry not sorry, but I don't feel sad for them. They are adults, they are also guilty, not only the givers. And now they want to go back to ATTRACT after all the troubles they give to the company? How shameless
If the guy was able to manipulate and gaslight their parents who are old what makes you think he couldnt gaslight a bunch of teens/young adults .
He crafted the lies to a T . Even faked legal documents..etc
You would also fall for it if you were in their shoes

@@maeum_maeum Keena already confessed, why the 3 members still pretending? That's sick, man
I don't want to Imagine a situation where Attrakt couldn't prove their innocence. They'd be lost so much bcz of those imbeciles
50/50 is a great example of why you should not bite the hand that feeds you.....
i'm so sad about this, they were one of my favorite groups, why couldn't they just stay with attrakt and discust whatever problems with them, not a law suit, which they lost, making they go broke
The song Cupid is so beautiful and nice that it linger in my mind forever. I really don’t understand why they (Company and the girls) would end up in such a state, if they were to handle it well enuf, probably everything might change and wouldn’t end up such nasty ways.
The three liars will not be accepted by any entertainment agency, so they will have to hide in a corner of their room from now on. The characteristic of these types of people is that they look down on other people's investments and tremble at $10 of their own money.
all of that talent gone to waste, poor girls :(
😂😂😂😂😂😂deserve
Epitome of "One hit wonders". I pity this girls😢
They hit the axe on their own foot 18-21 is old enough to understand what's going on around you . To make it worse when the CEO reached out to talk to them they didn't want to .
The whole 50/50 situation is so sad because that group had so much potential, I just wish the other three girls would have dropped their lawsuit and gone back to attrakt But now it seems like their career is pretty much over because no other agency is going to want to sign them because of their reputation of being ungrateful and disloyal
This is what happen when you dont use your brain and blindly trust someone and being stubborn even when wrong.😂
Now I feel sorry for Attrakt Ceo
and is "Cupid" Attrakt song or the givers song I'm confused
Cupid is an attrakt song. The givers were hired by Attrakt to manage the girls day to day. Ahn songil was the record producer for the songs and he is also connected to the givers. He tried to steal the girls and have the givers run them with Warner giving alot of money for all the international market. He also tried to steal all the royalty rights to the cupid aong by forging everyone’s signature. He is a major lowlife crook and ruined the careers of the three girls. They will be blacklisted by the Korean music industry, and the international market wont be interested in the three girls. They are a limited one hit wonder with too much legal baggage. Too many new young talent appears every year for them to have a second chance. Going back to Attrakt was their second chance. They decided their greed was more important than saving their careers. Keena and Fifty Fifty will regroup and move on. Then may not have the same success, but Attrakt will have more future groups to try for success. The three girls would be best to go and study abroad and go to college.
One of the very few rare occasions where you side with the company instead of the artists.
↖️ Ahn sung il is under investigation at Gangnam Police Station for fraud. I hope this mf gets 20years. which is unlikely though.
How is this a tragic case when the girls and their parents made the decision to end their contacts with the company because of someone else words and gaslighting..they believed in whatever this man was telling them because of fame and greed and that fame and greed is what got them in this situation...so they can't blame no one else but themselves and that goes for the parents too
There you go. My thoughts exactly. That's just straight up being greedy right there.
@@gillove189 I agree with your opinions, you definitely hit some good points in your comment, its really alot to think about when it's comes to cases like this
Keena was my favorite, but I liked all of the Fifty Fifty members. I am grateful for the beauty of their performances. I wish them all the best in their future careers and in their personal lives.
I feel really bad for these girls. I'm sure all they really wanted was to be successful in their careers. But they went up so fast and because of being young and naive, they easily fell victim of people's manipulation and lies.
The whistleblower who criticized ATTRAKT was actually a woman, but a man appeared as a stand-in actor on the broadcast. The woman was a former employee of The Givers.
It's really sad, because these girls can actually sing, compared to some other K-pop groups who sound terrible without voices being edited with audio machines. I hate it when I like a music video, then hear them singing it live, and they sound like crap.
I don't feel bad at all. People are making excuses for these girl's actions but they are ADULTS. They weren't "brainwashed", they were told lies which they believed without any valid evidence. They backstabbed their only provider that gave EVERYTHING for them. I'm glad these girls are no longer getting popularity, stop giving excuses for these ADULT females believing LIES without any solid evidence.
the only member i still want to support is keena bcs she actually reflects
Its sad a small company outside of the big 5 made it internationally. Only to be sunk by the machinations and greed of jealous other producers. The owner literally sold his car and borrower money to take a risk of them making it internationally only to get bad mouthed and backstabbed. Its so damn sad.
that Barbie promo could've made them hit bigger .Sigh such a waste
You pay your way to be on top doesn't last you long. Greed will take you nowhere. And your audience will notice everything cause we are not stupid. These labels don't care about the girls or music, they care for the money and prestige. And for the members, having a good lawyer and good common sense can be beneficial too.
I am so glad it’s all over!!! Best news! I hope to not hear about fifty fifty ever again and I wish all of them the best!! ❤
If Keena becomes an advertising model for a global company in the near future, the three liars are sure to be shaking with jealousy in the corner of the room.
It is pretty obvious these girls were naive and made some bad decisions. And it seems their parents, instead of helping the matter, made it worse, probably motivated by their own greed. Knowing how that industry works, their careers have ended for those three girls.
Informative, interesting. They got conned plan and simple. Glad Keena went back, the only smart, sensible one of the bunch.
My adhd self cant handle all this information. I’ve rewatched this like 5 times
same so i started to read comments xD
This is a story of people being greedy and stupid. If they weren’t the group could’ve risen more and they would’ve reap more benefits
Ahn sung il, ceo of the Givers company(an outsourcing company who produced songs for Attrakt). gaslighted 50/50 and made them file a lawsuit against Attrakt ceo. his goal was to have 50/50 break away from contract and then sell 50/50 to warner Bros and make 10billion won(7.4m) profit for himself. he single handedly destroyed and ended 50/50's career. an evil Scammer. Ahn sung il is the one who destroyed 50/50. not Attrakt ceo.
If these girls just stayed with Attrakt they would have been more famous. Their spng Cupid alone got them to a platform
Attrakt ceo gave them many chances to return and he said he will forgive them. which he did to Keena. but the 3 backstabbers chose to follow Ahn sing il and now their career is over.
if they came back to Attrakt, they would have saved their career and still be famous and have money and fame and continue their career as a fifty fifty.
3:39 this dude has "con artist" written all over his face
This was really cruel. FIFTY FIFTY was just getting started, but it all came crashing down. These girls don't deserve this.
Yeah it really is so sad that young girls were tricked and it unfairly backfired on them. I still wish them all the best, they desearve success for their passion and talent. ❤️😭
The three girls are in a serious situation. Not to mention lawsuits for damages, the girls could also be caught up in criminal lawsuits. First of all, since ATTRAKT has solid evidence, it is certain that the executives and employees of The Givers will go to jail. Even if ATTRAKT does not file criminal charges against the three girls, if the girls' complicity is revealed during the investigation of The Givers, the prosecutor can open an investigation into the girls ex officio.
This is sad but everyone should know how evil and dirty this industry is.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fjWhen you’re young you don’t always see all the red flags, especially if you’ve been a trainee for a long time with little life experience outside of training and practicing. They were working hard and focused on chasing after their dream. Also being rookies, it’s only natural to believe and listen to your superiors and managers since they have more experience in the industry; no one would expect the person who is supposed to help lead and guide you to betray you and tell so many lies.
they dont its so sad, one of my fav groups
Why are these girls being left alone with grown ass adults?
The Givers’ CEO is a manipulative, conniving con artist who played on the girls’ naivety and greed. Both, other than Keena, fought a losing battle. It’s honestly so sad what will happen to the 3 girls in the future, but they chose this for themselves. They’re no victims and anyone who thinks so is just as naive as them. Keena made the right choice for herself financially and career-wise, the girls shouldve listened to her when she was urging them to follow her. I’ll give up my pride over running myself and my family into a lifetime of financial ruins every damn day of the week.

I knew from beginning, I felt like, there is third party, there must be someone that push the agenda, because not only too sudden, it's always happened to the new rising star. There will be this stranger that seems "Know it all" and push them to go solo, really bad move
This is all just a complicated, tangled web. I simply miss the girls 😢. Saena, Aran, Sio and Keena.... you are fabulously talented young women with great voices and dance moves. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Sending love from a 💔fan....
When the judges for ATTRAKT's new girl group's JTBC audition broadcast are announced soon, the three liars are sure to be shaking with jealousy in the corner of the room.
And this is why young people shouldn't be allowed to be idols
I've been wondering when they plan to release their newest song. I had no idea they were dealing with something so serious.
This is why kids shouldnt be involved in the glamor industry. Everything is fake and over exaggerated to catch public eye.
Fifty fifty were naive and got scammed. Now their career in SK is totally over.
😂😂😂deserve
Soon Keena will become an advertising model for a global company. What this means is that global companies recognize the product value of Keena and the future reorganized FIFTY FIFTY.
Did anyone, members, parents or others at any stage to talk to the CEO or any staff at ATTRAKT about what was going on? Or did they just believe everything they were told by Ahn without question?
for whatni remember seeing in the twt post, keena did say she regreted not calling him
Lee Jin Ho (reporter and close to JHJ) revealed ATTRAKT tried to contact the girls multiple times but they blocked them.
They know what their doing they are blinded by how much they can have it’s just greed over greed
@@davidhan9979 Thank you 🙂 I suppose if you are thinking logically, alarm bells would start to ring and you would question things. If someone is that good at lying, then I can see how they just went along with things.
If nothing happens to the givers, it'll be a shame. They'll just do it again on some other group.
if i were the CEO id debut new group, i wont trust these girls anymore
I wonder now that the ceo of the givers has been outed as a scammer, will this save other groups from him? I heard he did this to other groups that never had a hit.
It was really funny that a lot of international fans who live outside SK side with TG and the girls. Now that the truth comes out, some of them are still delulu to accept this.
Those girls flew too close to the sun.
Hope the manipulator guy ends up in jail, looking at this case, it would qualify for a defamation case here in the USA, which is the hardest place to prove defamation. ASI definitely has malicious intent, and it harmed Attrakt monetarily.
I said this from the gate ... These are young girls not business women. They know how to dance and sing.... all this was above them. Their parents should of been more involved though.
TBH, 5050 - especially Jung Eunah and Jung Jiho (Former Aran and Sio) cannot sing that well. In Korea, there is a radio show called 컬투쇼(CultTwo Show), which singers come to sing a live songs without any AR. But there are still very few Idols and singers who puts AR with a very strong request. One of those Idols is surprisingly 5050. There is only one actual live performance from them on Arirang TV CZcams and if you watch this, you will be 100% assured that they were never able to sing their song without AR.
Their parent were literally involved, which is one of the main reasons why the girls got fked. 😂
@@user-wv1ji3pp2d who are you to judge... Your no talent judge... Plus they got a global song with their vocals. Stop hating on young girls that were mid led. It's gross and hypocritical. Verbal abuse is disgusting
@@Hurt-to-Hurt soooo.... It's another reason to help them and support them. Just because you are a parent doesn't mean you know this stuff. That's just having a kid. Doesn't make you wise to everything
Y did he have to ruin fifty fifty and manipulate them,they are still rookies.
Well... It's all over now. Sad...
IF ONLY people want to stay neutral until the result of the lawsuit finalized. They won't hurt anyone. Neither Attrakt CEO nor the girls. Also, such a smart move from The Givers to get near on their parents which ofc parents want their children fast success and fame. But so dirty man. I hope all of them find their peace.
