Jeon Hong-jun, CEO Of Fifty-fifty, Wins Lawsuit, Plans To Press Charges Against Thegiverbus

The exclusive contract injunction lawsuit filed by girl group Fifty-fifty, which sparked controversy over tampering and the creation of the phrase “the betrayal stone,” which has caused public anger, has finally been dismissed. Whether the members’ positions will change in the future, the Fifty-fifty incident has reached a new phase.

The Seoul Central District Court’s 50th Civil Division ruled on August 28 to dismiss Fifty-fifty’s application for an injunction to suspend the effect of the exclusive contract against Attract. The court explained the reason for the dismissal, saying, “It is difficult to conclude that the obligation to provide settlement materials has been violated, it is difficult to see that the obligation to manage health and care has been sufficiently proven, and the termination of work with Thegiverbus is not a violation of the exclusive contract.”

On June 28, Fifty Fifty announced through the law firm Barun, which was in charge of legal representation, “On June 19, the four members filed an injunction to suspend the validity of the exclusive contract with the Seoul Central District Court through their legal representative, and the trial is currently pending. This is in progress” caused a considerable commotion in the K-pop community.

Prior to this, on June 23, Attract announced the surgical treatment due to the member’s deteriorating health and the cessation of activities, stating, “We have confirmed that an external force approached our artists and enticed them to violate our exclusive contract during that time. Attract stated, “External forces attempted to steal members” and sent a proof of contents to Warner Music Korea on June 26, followed by Dugiverse’s representative and “Cupid” as the reason for the attempted member theft. It has become such an unusual issue that three individuals, including the composer Ahn Seong-il, have been charged with breach of trust and obstruction of business by registering a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul.

Fifty Fifty firmly appealed their breakup with Attract, as if giving up even room to reproduce the glory of the past, leaving behind the astounding achievements accomplished in a short period of time, such as reaching the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Official Top 40 chart. exhibited development. CEO Jeon Hong-joon, who had been preparing for Fifty Fifty for a long time and hoped to have tremendous success, suffered a fatal blow to his career in the industry.

The members stated, “This application for a preliminary injunction is a response to Attract’s breach of contract and destruction of the trust relationship.” They are tarnishing the members’ reputation through persistent media coverage without any effort to elucidate the situation.” In particular, “Despite their youth, the members have attempted to consider and act independently. After adequately discussing the matter with their parents, we approached our attorney with the matter. The members were greatly dismayed and frustrated when they realised that they were not listening to their concerns and had arbitrarily disclosed the reason for the member’s surgery without consulting the parties, citing “extortion by outside forces.”

The legal representative stated, “The members raised concerns about various instances in which Attract did not fulfil its contractual obligations, including the non-transparent settlement and the unilateral attempt to enforce it despite disclosing a health condition that made promotion difficult.” We want to make it known that the four members made the decision independently and unanimously without outside intervention.”

Later, on the first date of interrogation, the attorney pointed out the omission of income items related to settlement (of Attract), violations such as negligence in physical and mental management, and the lack of physical resource capabilities in entertainment management, and stated, “In regards to Attract’s settlement work, the debtor did not report any violations after applying for a provisional disposition. However, it was written differently than the previous statement, but Star Crew ENT was listed. Star Crew ENT is the company to which the members belonged during their time as trainees; however, the item of income relating to sales was omitted, so this aspect was suspected.

In contrast, the attorney for Attract refuted the attorney for Fifty Fifty’s claim of non-fulfillment of settlement obligations, stating, “There is a major misunderstanding or distorted explanation.” The creditor concurred as well. “The business has been sold.” Then, he protested the transaction structure by stating, “The CEO’s misappropriation is an exaggerated imagination.” “The sales flowing into Star Crew ENT were not omitted on purpose, but due to a time difference, the count was delayed and was omitted by the outsourcing company’s error. “There is no basis for the claim of settlement obligation,” he emphasised.

After that, the circumstance gave rise to various rumours and speculations, and a written opinion stating that there were no plans to adjust this time rendered the golden period effectively over. There was a chance that a dramatic agreement would result from a mediation referral, but this did not occur. The members are still adamant about disbanding, stating, “We are also going through difficult days, experiencing miscommunications and accusations that cannot be put into words, but despite these difficulties, we believe there is a truth that must be disclosed. We are confident that if the truth is revealed, the fans will comprehend and support us even more.” Please refrain from being overly critical.”

As a result of the court’s decision to dismiss the case and rule in favour of Attract rather than Fifty-Fifty, the members could have appealed and the argument could have resumed; consequently, a new agreement was reached with the members. You have the opportunity to sketch.

Regarding this, Bareun Lawyer Lee Dong-hun, who was responsible for defending Fifty Fifty, stated to Star News, “I will discuss with the members and decide whether to file an appeal.” We intend to concentrate on pursuing criminal charges against members of Dugibus, including CEO Ahn Seong-il and director Baek Mo.
