Attrakt terminated the exclusive contract of FIFTY FIFTY's three members.
On October 23, the agency announced, "we hereby announce that we have terminated the exclusive contract of the three members, Aran, Sio, and Saena, effective October 19, 2023."
The reason for terminating the contract was also revealed. It is said that there was a conspiracy to break the contract by the CEO of The Givers, Sung-il Ahn, and the three members of FIFTY FIFTY. Previously, Dispatch reported that the members used CEO Ahn's positive COVID kit to leave the dormitory.
The agency pointed out, "The three members, Aran, Sio, and Saena, left the agency without permission for the purpose of breaking the contract, slandered and defamed the agency, and to this day continue to distort facts and make false claims, repeating arguments that have been rejected by the court, without any remedy for the breach of contract."
Keena, a FIFTY FIFTY member, met with the agency's CEO Jeon Hong-jun last week and apologized. She also expressed her apologies to the executives and employees in a handwritten letter.
The agency stated, "Keena, had been trying to convince the other three members since July to mend the improperness, and we are grateful to Keena for having the courage to return to the agency and confess the truth in regard to what had been happening during that time."
