FIFTY FIFTY's charges against their former agency ATTRAKT's CEO
Previously in August 2023, FIFTY FIFTY’s legal representative Barun announced that members Saena, Aran, and Sio would proceed with a lawsuit against the ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong Joon. He was charged with violating the act on the aggravated punishment of specific economic crimes. According to FIFTY FIFTY’s law firm Baun, the members accused the CEO of breach of trust, as he allegedly used the group’s music revenue unfairly to pay off the advance payment debt of a company he owned named StarCrew Entertainment.
Prior to these charges, FIFTY FIFTY applied for provisional disposition to terminate the validity of their exclusive contracts with the agency. What follows is ATTRAKT filing a civil lawsuit against Saena, Aran, and Sio and notifying them of contract expirations.
However, amidst all this legal chaos and disputes, a member Keena decided to return to the agency and prevent her exclusive contract from termination.

Meanwhile, nine months prior, ATTRAKT filed a lawsuit against the controversial CEO of The Givers, Ahn Sung II, who was the producer of FIFTY FIFTY’s debut and only hit Cupid. The charges against him included alleged embezzlement and breach of trust.
In February 2024, the agency confirmed taking him to prosecution for his alleged crime, adding, “The police are actively investigating the matter and Ahn Sung II will face the deserved verdict for his offense if confirmed.”
