Previously, around late June, Attrakt claimed that external forces had approached Fifty Fifty to lure them into breaking their contracts. The CEO even conducted an interview and said he will fight to keep the members. Later on the 26th of June, the agency accused Warner Music Korea and sent them a statement of proof, they also demanded an explanation. In a statement to the press, Warner Music Korea denies the accusations and expressed regret such rumors have been spreading around.
Later, through another statement to the press, The CEO of the agency announced he’s filed a lawsuit against producer and the CEO of The Givers, An Sung-il, and three more after accusing them of being the said external force attempting to poach the members.
