“Dear fans,

These are Keena, Saena, Sio and Aran from FIFTY FIFTY.

We’d like to start by apologizing to everyone who loves us for causing so much concern.

We know that there are fans who believe in us and are waiting for us. And that’s why the members of FIFTY FIFTY decided to put our hesitation aside and took a stand to share our position.

We also know that many of you are confused by current media and press coverage. Misunderstandings and accusations have snowballed. We were deeply shocked by this and are going through a difficult time.

However, we believe that there is a truth that needs to be discovered despite these difficulties. And we have great faith that our fans will understand and support us even more when this is clarified.

The FIFTY FIFTY members received a lot of love and encouragement from our fans. We also have a lot of people around us who have worked hard and helped us. We never forget for a single moment how grateful we are to our fans and everyone who has supported us. We would like to take this to heart and repay our gratitude by working even harder in the future.

However, we first wanted to take this opportunity to right the wrongs that were forced into our relationship with the agency. And to protect our music, we had no other choice.

So, after much thought, our members decided to go this route. We will continue to move forward, making thoughtful decisions to overcome the current confusions and difficulties.

It is heartbreaking to see so many false stories being reported in media articles and social media these days. However, we are careful to comment on the termination of our exclusivity contracts with our agency. This does not mean that we admit or accept what has been reported in the media. We believe that taking this issue to court based on the facts was the right way to resolve the situation. We hoped that the truth would come out during the trial process and our rights would be upheld. That’s something we’ve been waiting for until today.

To realize this hope, we will continue to collect and submit fact-based materials and evidence. With this, we hope to clarify any doubts and misunderstandings. We sincerely hope that you will not make too many criticisms based on false suspicions and misunderstandings and will look at the facts objectively. Right now, all of our members are in this together, relying on each other to stay strong.

What we really want, however, is to develop our activities as true artists in an environment of trust. Our members will do everything in our power to make that wish come true. We will do our best to get back in good shape and thank all of you who follow us.

Thanks.”
