Attrakt, FIFTY FIFTY’s agency, confirmed it had sued Warner Music Korea for allegedly poaching the girl band months after its debut and mind-blowing success.
On October 23, Attrakt agency confirmed that they have filed a lawsuit against Warner Music Korea for trying to poach members of its start group, FIFTY FIFTY. In the 20 billion won ($19 million U.S.) lawsuit, Attrakt claims that top executives from Warner Music Korea tampered with some of FIFTY FIFY members’ contracts.
FIFTY FIFTY became a global sensation after their “CUPID” track went viral making the band an overnight success which also attracted unwanted attention. After the June 2023 “CUPID” song’s success, Attrakt made allegations that some influential external forces were attempting to poach the group members. In the same month, all FIFTY FIFTY members filed for contract termination with Attrakt on grounds of contractual disputes.
In August 2023, Attrakt agency won the case and Keena dropped the case. Nonetheless, the other 3 members filed for an appeal, which was also rejected, and they were removed from FIFTY FIFTY and their contracts with Attrakt terminated. In the October 23 statement, Attrakt shared their disappointment that such a big company would be shameless enough to try and take away artists from a small agency. Attrakt further added that 20 billion won is not worth the damage caused and that they plan to increase the damage claim with time.
