ALSO!!!

Speaking of Fifty-Fifty, did you hear about how Attrakt is now suing the 3 members who left?????????

I hope Attrakt implodes.

[kamikashi]

so fifty fifty, what can even happen now? like theyve just broken up right? since 3 members sued/left but then 1 member dropped her lawsuit would the label just try to add 3 new people and just say this is the new fifty fifty or become just a new group?

[fauxkaren]

I think what Attrakt WANTS to do is to build a new group around the remaining member. Idk if they'd want to keep calling the group Fifty-Fifty or if they'd want to launch as a whole new group.

BUT TBHHHHHHHHHHHH

I think the business people behind Attrakt are uh... bad at their jobs. So idk if they'll be able to launch a new group. We'll see though...

[kamikashi]

business wise im like fifty fifty is a known brand so youd want to continue but at the same time would fans accept continuing on with completely new ppl??

[wonheaux]

keena attended the billboard music awards, so they'll most likely add new members and rebuild since the korean public's opinion is on attrakt's side.

[kamikashi]

ohhh shiiit korean fans are on the labels side? damn. i def dont know enough deets on all this mess i woulda assumed fans would be on the artists sides.

[wonheaux]

yeah. the other three members' careers are ended in entertainment now because the korean general public aren't on their side. they're going to be blacklisted after this.

[deerlike]

Attrakt got their PR out early and managed to spin the whole narrative of the 50-50 girls being ungrateful and greedy (and therefore seduced by outside forces into breaking their contract with Attract). If there's one thing the conservative Korean general public dislikes, it's unfilial rookies who ~don't know their place.

[kamikashi]

damn, that makes sense as to why fans wouldnt be on their side yeesh that really sucks ass

[ladychips]

details?
