FIFTY FIFTY is making a comeback in the K-pop industry.
On June 14, ATTRAKT agency announced that FIFTY FIFTY will undergo a re-organization and become a five-membered group. The agency explained that four new members will be joining Keena in the group.
The statement began by expressing gratitude to all who had supported ATTRAKT, followed by reminiscing about the FIFTY FIFTY’s past accomplishments. It then proceeded to address the past conflict between the group and their agency.
ATTRAKT announced that they held auditions for new members as part of their plan to start anew. The group, previously consisting of four members, will now be restructured as a quintet.
Additionally, ATTRAKT announced that FIFTY FIFTY is making a comeback in September. The agency also stated that FIFTY FIFTY will maintain their distinct identity in the music industry and participate in various promotional activities.
Please review the entire statement provided below:
“Hello. This is ATTRAKT.
First of all, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to everyone who loves and supports FIFTY FIFTY and ATTRAKT.
Last year, 2023, FIFTY FIFTY’s ‘Cupid’ reached No. 17 and No. 8 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 and UK’s Official Singles Top 100, respectively. Additionally, they also won the ‘Top 2023 TikTok Songs Globally’ and ‘K-pop Song of the Year’ at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards.
However, before FIFTY FIFTY could accomplish more achievements, there was a painful time when we had to stop everything due to unfortunate news. ATTRAKT has since led private auditions to find new members for a new leap forward.
Consequently, we were able to confirm the four new members in April, and FIFTY FIFTY will start anew as a five-membered group, including existing member Keena.
We understand that there are many people who are waiting for FIFTY FIFTY’s news and comeback, but the time required to ensure the quality of the album production and global marketing are unavoidable.
To showcase a more complete appearance and promotion, we decided to prepare a comeback for September instead of June. We thank our precious fans who have been waiting patiently, and we know all too well that this is a miraculous time and opportunity.
To meet everyone’s expectations, we will also be dropping pre-release songs to show FIFTY FIFTY’s unique colors ahead of the official album release. Various other pre-promotions are also being prepared.
ATTRAKT employees will also do their best to make FIFTY FIFTY the best K-pop girl group by giving their hearts and passion every day.
Thank you.”
In June 2023, Keena, Aran, Sio, and Saena, the four original members, took legal action against ATTRAKT to halt their exclusive contracts. Despite their efforts, the court denied the injunction.
In October 2023, Keena submitted a withdrawal letter to the court, effectively dropping her lawsuit against ATTRAKT. As a result, the exclusive contracts of the three former members Ara, Sio, and Saena were terminated by ATTRAKT.
