Dispatch added another new dimension to the controversy surrounding beleaguered group FIFTY FIFTY by publishing texts from Keena to the other members and their families. These messages, dating back to September 4, provide greater insight into the group’s internal dynamics and their legal battle with their agency, ATTRAKT.
In the texts, Keena expressed doubts about their lawyers’ intentions, feeling that the members’ wishes were being ignored. “I would like to say that I am still skeptical about what Ahn Sung Il and the lawyers, who have ignored our wishes and have left the members out in the proceedings, have to say,” she wrote.

Furthermore, Keena‘s messages suggest the members actually had little to do with how the lawsuit unfolded. “No matter how well we prepared, we had setbacks due to unforeseen circumstances, and thus, I no longer can trust in an uncertain future and just wait,” she stated.
As the eldest member, she felt a responsibility towards the younger members, recognizing that adults largely controlled the lawsuit. She noted that none of the members were permitted to participate in discussions and meetings. She questioned the strategy of avoiding negotiations, suggesting a need for compromise.
Keena expressed regret
Keena also expressed regret about what happened. “I know we were trying to be a Joan Of Arc-like figure for all K-pop idols and take on their struggles, but it is true that we fought meaninglessly by forcing our complaints against what is widely accepted as reasonable. I won’t force my thoughts on the other members. We don’t seem to agree on much anyway, and we’ve never met in person to talk about this. We’ve never had the opportunity to really talk about what we thought about the situation.”
Keena‘s messages highlight a desire for the members to be more actively involved in the lawsuit and the group’s future. “I will take part in negotiations and I will listen to what they say. In the future, I believe we should be present at every meeting. We’d like to know everything about what is going on. It is our dream and our life. We will be the ones who listen, who voice their objections, and who make the decisions,” she concluded.

These messages offer a whole new perspective on the challenges the girl group faced. As of this writing, Keena is back with ATTRAKT. She was the group’s sole representative at the recently concluded 2023 Billboard Music Awards. There are also plans to reorganize the group with her as the center, supported by three new members.
