Fifty Fifty sues agency "Breach of contract, opaque settlement + enforcement of activities"
On the morning of the 28th, Fifty Fifty's legal representative, Law Firm Barun, delivered the position of Fifty Fifty members Sana, Kina, Aran, and Shio. The legal representative said, "The 4 members filed an application for injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract through their legal representative to the Seoul Central District Court on June 19, and the trial is currently underway. It is an action taken as a result of causing it." "Members did not respond as long as the trial was in progress. The legal representative pointed out various problems and sent a letter requesting correction, but Attract did not try to explain the request, and through continuous media reports, the members' I am revealing this statement because it is damaging my reputation."
The legal representative explained, "Despite their young age, the 4 members have been working hard to think and act independently. After sufficiently discussing with their parents, we came to raise the issue with the help of our legal representative." "Even so, while Attract couldn't clearly explain the violation of the contract, they didn't listen to the members' voices, saying it was an 'extortion attempt by an outside force', and arbitrarily disclosing the reason for the member's surgery without consulting the parties, the members felt I was very disappointed and frustrated." In addition, "The members raised issues about various circumstances in which Attract did not fulfill its contractual obligations, such as the non-transparent settlement and the unilateral attempt to enforce it despite revealing that it was difficult to perform," he continued. We want to make it clear that the four members made the independent decision in unison."
The legal representative said, "The members are well aware of how important this time is, and are well aware of the concern of many people around them. When we first started practicing, we made a commitment to become artists who can give a good influence." "The four members did not agree or keep quiet about things that were not right," he said, stressing, "We made this decision to go the right way without lies and without external pressure from the people around us."
The legal representative appealed, "From now on, we ask that Attract not damage the reputation of the members of Fifty Fifty anymore." He also said, "The four members just want to return to the fans who support them as soon as possible. We promise that even after that, we will still become more independent and sincere artists." "We earnestly request that you refrain from speculative articles so that no more victims are created due to unconfirmed content or claims."
Previously, Fifty Fifty's agency, Attract, claimed that outside forces attempted to rob the members.
◆ Below is the full text of Fifty Fifty's entrance statement
We are speaking from Barun Law Firm, the legal representative of Fifty Fifty's Saena, Kina, Aran, and Shio (hereinafter referred to as 'members').
The four members filed an application for provisional disposition to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract through their legal representatives to the Seoul Central District Court, and the trial is currently underway. This is an action taken after the Attract side violated the contract and caused the destruction of trust.
The members did not respond as much as the trial was in progress. The legal representative pointed out various problems in the past and sent a letter requesting correction, but Attract is damaging the members' honor through continuous media reports without trying to explain the requirements, so we have to reveal this statement.
Despite their young age, the four members have tried to think and act independently. After sufficiently discussing with the parents, we came to raise the issue with the help of our legal representative. Nevertheless, while Attract was unable to clearly explain the breach of contract, not listening to the members' voices, saying that it was an 'extortion attempt by an outside force', and arbitrarily disclosing the reason for the member's surgery without consulting the parties, the members felt a big I was disappointed and frustrated.
The members raised issues about various circumstances in which Attract did not fulfill its contractual obligations, such as the non-transparent settlement and the unilateral attempt to enforce it despite revealing a health condition that made it difficult for them to be active. We would like to make it clear that this is an independent decision made by the four members in unison without any outside intervention.
The members are well aware of how important this time is, and are well aware of the concern of many people around them. When I first started practicing, I was determined to become an artist who could give a good influence. Our four members did not agree or keep quiet about things that were not right. Without falsehood, without external pressure, they made this decision just to go their own way correctly.
Attract asks you not to defame the members of Fifty Fifty anymore.
The 4 members just want to go back to the fans who support them as soon as possible. Even after that, we promise that we will still be more independent and sincere artists.
We sincerely request that you refrain from speculative articles so that no more victims are created with unconfirmed content or claims.
thank you
