Legal Repercussions
The contract termination comes in the wake of an ongoing legal battle between FIFTY FIFTY and ATTRAKT. According to South Korean news outlet Dispatch, the agency has accused the trio of making false claims and distorting facts, which have been rejected by the courts.
A Seoul court had previously dismissed the members’ plea to suspend their exclusive contracts, further complicating matters.

Chart-Topping Success
The girls gained international acclaim earlier this year with their viral hit, Cupid, breaking records previously held by BLACKPINK on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Legal Battle
The group had filed for a provisional disposition to suspend their exclusive contracts with ATTRAKT back in June. The agency suspected that an external entity, named The Givers, was attempting to buy out the group. However, the Seoul Central District Court rejected their appeals, leading to an even more complicated legal scenario.
What’s Next?
The termination of contracts for three of its members leaves the future uncertain. With Keena being the only member to stay, it remains to be seen how the group will navigate these troubled waters and what impact this will have on their soaring career.
