This decision was prompted by reports stating that FIFTY FIFTY had declined to engage in mediation court proceedings. When the group’s legal representative pursued a traditional trial, the judge swiftly dismissed the request. Consequently, the judge’s ruling not only signifies a setback for FIFTY FIFTY’s efforts to break their contract but also underscores the importance of cooperation and adherence to legal processes in resolving disputes of this nature.

Following the dismissal of the injunction against FIFTY FIFTY’s contract with ATTRAKT, CEO Jeon Hong Joon addressed the media with a brief statement. According to reports from Yonhap News, the CEO disclosed his intention to shift his attention towards pursuing legal action against Ahn Sung Il. The Givers’ head has been accused of orchestrating FIFTY FIFTY’s attempted departure from ATTRAKT. This move signifies ATTRAKT’s commitment to seeking justice in this matter.

Jeon Hong Joon’s statement suggests that ATTRAKT is determined to address the allegations and concerns surrounding FIFTY FIFTY’s contract. They also seek justice for the role of individuals like Ahn Sung Il in this complex situation.

“We have a lot of evidence that points to (Ahn Sung Il’s) tampering. We plan to now focus on the criminal lawsuit against Ahn Sung Il and Director Baek,” Jeon said.

This development underscores the ongoing legal battles and tensions within the entertainment industry. Technically, various parties seek to protect their interests and rights in contract disputes. For now, FIFTY FIFTY are reportedly likely to appeal the decision. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.

FIFTY FIFTY’s Agency Files Criminal Complaint Against SIAHN

According to the statement, ATTRAKT has filed a criminal complaint at the Gangnam Police Station against Ahn Sung Il and the three other individuals. The complaint cites “fraud, breach of duty, and obstruction of business” as SIAHN’s illegal acts.

Ahn Sung Il is the CEO of creative content development group The Givers but it was indicated that he is the former co-CEO of ATTRAKT.

The agency explained that The Givers had been working on and managing projects for ATTRAKT. However it also accused Ahn Sung Il of “committing acts of fraud and obstruction of business including delaying the handover of work, deleting company email accounts, and deleting material related to past projects.”

“Furthermore, in the process of purchasing the song Cupid from a foreign songwriter, The Givers did not provide ATTRAKT with information about the copyright purchase, and they secretly purchased the copyright in their or their company’s name without our knowledge,” the statement read.

It was also indicated that ATTRAKT believes SIAHN and the three other individuals are involved in other illegal acts. “We may file additional [criminal] complaints as well,” the statement confirms.

ATTRAKT had previously announced that it would be taking legal action against a then-unnamed third party that had allegedly approached FIFTY FIFTY with the intent to persuade the girl group into violating their exclusive contracts with their current agency.

“Through slanderous accusations against us and glorified flattery about themselves, these external forces are committing an illegal act of inducing our agency’s artists to make the wrong decision to ignore their valid exclusive contracts and sign contracts with them,” the agency said in a statement.
