Tensions between K-pop stars and their labels have boiled over once again, as ATTRAKT Entertainment takes the rebellious FIFTY FIFTY trio to court.
In a terse statement, ATTRAKT accused Saena, Sio, and Aran of betrayal, alleging they unlawfully broke contracts to join cross-town rivals at The Givers agency. The label is dragging parents and executives into the messy legal battle too.
Seeking to recoup massive losses, ATTRAKT filed a lawsuit demanding a cool 130 billion won initially in damages from the defiant idols and their conspirators. But the agency warns this is just the opening offer, hinting the figure could explode throughout the contentious proceedings.
While the three face off against their former family in court, tensions within the now fractured FIFTY FIFTY ranks remain high. Keena alone opted to make amends, marching back to ATTRAKT headquarters with hat in hand.
Through heartfelt letters, the contrite star pleaded for forgiveness from ATTRAKT’s steely-eyed CEO. Slowly but surely, her earnest efforts seem to be paying off, with the label now praising Keena’s bravery in cutting through the chaos with her honesty.
As the other trio lawyers up for the fight of their careers, all eyes are on the courtroom drama set to make bigger stars than any music show ever could. With so much bad blood and billion won bank notes at stake, this battle between artists and their Svengalis promises to be epic.
