Agency accuses “external forces” of trying to hack the group’s fancafe

In the early hours of this Tuesday, the 27th, the girlgroup’s fancafe FIFTY FIFTY was off the air for a while, raising questions from fans. Moments after the shutdown, ATTRAKT, the company responsible for the group, issued a note stating that the portal had been invaded by an unauthorized external force, but that it has already been recovered and will undergo security changes.

Check out the full announcement!

“Hello, this is ATTRAKT.

We would like to inform you about the attempted shutdown of FIFTY FIFTY’s official fan cafe that took place around 3 PM KST today.

This was not done by us, but due to unauthorized account takeover by outside forces. We confirmed that they sent the post that says they are going to close the official fancafe.

The official fancafe management account has been recovered, ATTRAKT is taking measures as soon as possible to ensure good use of the fancafe and prevent further occurrences.

We would like to sincerely apologize for causing confusion to our fans.

Yours sincerely,

ATTRACTION”.

It is worth remembering that, last Monday, ATTRAKT also accused external forces of trying to “induce the artists of our agency to make the wrong decision to ignore their valid exclusive contracts and sign contracts with them”.

Through a note, the company revealed that it had discovered that Warner Music Korea would be involved in the conversations to try to attract the girl group members to a new agency. “We have already obtained material evidence of a clear attempt to illegally rob FIFTY FIFTY members. We request that Warner Music Korea make a precise explanation and statement of their official position,” said ATTRAKT.

In response, Warner Music Korea said:

“Hello, this is Warner Music Korea.

We are informing you of our official position regarding today’s statement by ATTRAKT’s agency of rookie girl group FIFTY FIFTY.

First, as the international distributor of FIFTY FIFTY, Warner Music Korea has been working [com o FIFY FIFTY] effective April 1, 2023. Since signing the contract, we have done our best to make the dazzling achievements of FIFTY FIFTY and their agency shine even brighter by mobilizing the skills and network of Warner Music Group, so we are very sorry that such unfortunate suspicions have been raised.

Warner Music Korea has done its best as a global distributor so far, respecting the opinions of artists and the artist agency, and we are proud that this is demonstrated by various achievements.

ATTRAKT’s claims are unfounded and we regret that they sent us a content certification.
