The group Fifty Fifty, who is currently in a dispute with their agency over an exclusive contract, has broken their silence and expressed their thoughts. They stated that they will reveal the truth through legal proceedings.
On the 17th of August, the four members of Fifty Fifty conveyed their apologies to all the fans who have shown concern through a handwritten letter and addressed the ongoing dispute, the media reports and more.
The members stated that they believe going to court based on facts was the right way to resolve this situation and added they will make efforts to clearly resolve any false suspicions and misunderstandings. They earnestly requested that excessive criticism due to false suspicions and misunderstandings be stopped and that objective judgment be maintained.
Here is their letter translated below!
First of all, we would like to apologize to all the fans who have shown us love and concern. We, the members of Fifty Fifty, have decided to gather our courage and communicate our position to you, our fans, who have trusted and waited for us.
We understand that you must be feeling confused due to the reports from various media outlets. We are also experiencing difficult days, filled with misunderstandings and criticism that keep piling up like a snowball. However, even in these challenging times, we firmly believe that there is a truth that needs to be revealed. And when it becomes transparent, we believe that you, our fans, will understand us and support us even more.
We have received overwhelming love and encouragement from our fans until now. Many people around us have also put in efforts and helped us. We have never forgotten the gratitude and preciousness for all the fans and everyone who has helped us. While cherishing these feelings, we will continue to work sincerely to repay your kindness.
However, before that, we hope that the wrong practices that have been imposed on us by our agency will be corrected through this incident. Our inevitable choice to protect our music began here. Just like the path we have chosen after much deliberation, we will continue to make careful decisions to overcome the current confusing situation and hardships.
There are many false contents in the media articles and social media that are being reported now. Nevertheless, we have refrained from mentioning the termination of our exclusive contract until now. This is not because we acknowledge or accept the media articles that have been reported so far.
We believed that fighting in court based on the truth would be the right path to resolve this situation. We expected that the truth would be revealed and our rightful rights would be guaranteed through the trial process, and that is still a hope that we hold on to. To achieve that, we will continue to collect evidence and data based on the truth and submit them. By doing so, we will strive to clearly resolve the wrong suspicions and misunderstandings. We earnestly ask you to refrain from excessive criticism based on wrongful suspicions and misunderstandings, and to keep an objective view on the situation.
Currently, we are united, relying on each other and firmly enduring.
Our earnest desire is to be able to work as sincere artists in a trustworthy environment. Our members will do our best to fulfill this wish until the end. We will make efforts to repay those who are watching over Fifty Fifty and to come back as better individuals.
Thank you.
