ATTRAKT, the label behind FIFTY FIFTY, has launched a legal action against three former group members. The lawsuit, filed on December 19, extends beyond the artists, implicating their parents and The Givers’ Ahn Sung-Il.
The Multi-Billion KRW Lawsuit
ATTRAKT’s lawsuit targets former FIFTY FIFTY members Saena, Sio, and Aran, accusing them of unlawfully terminating their contracts. The label’s legal action also involves The Givers, specifically Ahn Sung-Il, and the parents of the former members, alleging conspiracy in the contract breach.
“We have taken legal steps against ex-FIFTY FIFTY members Saena, Sio, and Aran for contract termination violations, as well as The Givers, Ahn Sung-Il, Mr. Baek, and the parents of these artists for their alleged involvement,” stated a representative from ATTRAKT.
The Staggering Amount in Question
The lawsuit’s financial stakes are extraordinarily high, with ATTRAKT seeking damages in the hundreds of billions of KRW. Korean news outlet Newsis has reported that the label demands approximately KRW 130 billion (around US $99.7 million). ATTRAKT hinted that this figure might increase as the legal proceedings progress.
“The damages we’re pursuing are in the hundreds of billions of KRW, but this amount could escalate as the lawsuit continues,” an ATTRAKT spokesperson commented.
