In a statement, ATTRAKT explained in detail why FIFTY FIFTY is without promotional actions
This Friday, the 23rd, ATTRAKT released a statement explaining in detail the reason for the lack of promotions by the girl group FIFTY FIFTY. The agency commented on the legal battle against third parties, who are suspected of trying to interfere with the members’ exclusive contracts. Check out the full statement:
Hello, ATTRAKT would like to inform you all.
First, we want to express our infinite gratitude to the domestic and foreign fans who have sent their generous support to our agency’s artists over the past few months.
We are well aware that there are many fans who are concerned and curious as to why our agency artist is not promoting during a time when he should be actively promoting. To be honest, one member developed medical symptoms, so we discussed it with the member and her family, and with the consent of both parties, she started treatment as directed by her doctor and underwent surgery on May 2nd. After the doctor’s diagnosis that she would need more than a month and potentially two months for recovery, we stopped artist promotions and, with our judgment that health is more important, also gave the other members a break.
During this time, we have significantly expanded and improved our system and are fully prepared to better support our artists. Rather than focusing on immediate interests, it is our basic course to pursue the long-term growth and development of our artists.
However, amidst our diligent preparations, we identified outside influences that approached our agency’s artists and enticed them to violate their exclusivity contracts with us. Through slanderous accusations against us and glorified flattery about themselves, these outside influences are committing an illegal act of inducing our agency artists to make the wrong decision to ignore their valid exclusive contracts and sign contracts with them.
Since this act by outside influences is an act that tramples on the pure love of fans, it can greatly damage the image and potential of these artists who debuted just seven months ago, and moreover, have a serious adverse effect on K-pop as a whole. .
Although we started as a small company, we had a bolder dream than anyone else, and despite difficult financial situations, we overcame adversity and wrote a new history in K-pop. Even at this moment, we’re writing a new story in the present, and fans not just internally but around the world are cheering us on. While we cannot contain our anger at the illegal acts of these impure outside influences who are trying to extort the incredible miracle achieved by a small and powerless agency, we will respond firmly and deliberately and fight to the end without any compromise with these outside influences to hold them legally accountable. .
As we deeply reflect on Admiral Yi Sun Shin’s words “Those who are willing to die will live no matter what happens, those who try to spare their lives will die no matter what happens”, we will fight with determination to protect our artists , who have become Korea’s treasured talent, and work even harder for their growth to repay fans’ support
