This month is supposed to be FIFTY FIFTY’s first payout; however, they are currently embroiled in a disagreement with their management agency. By the end of this month, FIFTY FIFTY started to demonstrate financial success, according to insider sources in the music industry. This implies that the members’ first payment settlement can now take place.
As the sole member who has reconciled with the agency, Keena is expected to get a substantial first payment, estimated to be in the range of five to six figures in USD.
It’s interesting to note that FIFTY FIFTY predominantly receives this first payment from music streaming platform profits. Just two years after making their debut, the group astonishingly managed to generate a profit thanks to their music streaming revenue alone. This achievement is especially remarkable in light of the fact that they were not able to make any money from concerts, ads, or guest appearances because of the continuous disagreements.
This remarkable accomplishment can be attributed to the global triumph of their hit song, “Cupid,” which did remarkably well on well-known international music sites such as Billboard and Spotify. The worldwide music revenue settlement system states that the settlement process typically takes four to nine months from the date of income generation. As a result, the members are now anticipating their well-deserved pay this month.
For three members, though, things are still unclear: Saena, Sio, and Aran have been embroiled in a conflict with the agency since April. They have already received notices of contract termination and have stated their desire to pursue legal action against the agency, which may have an impact on their prospects of getting the settlement money.
Keena, who will soon get her first paycheck, plans to continue her endeavors as a part of FIFTY FIFTY. Interestingly, Keena is the only member of FIFTY FIFTY that will be representing the group at the “2023 Billboard Music Awards,” where they are nominated as a group. Additionally, plans are being made to rearrange the group and put Keena in charge.
Internet users from Korea said, “Millions of KRW for the first payment? Keena prevailed. I discovered that time is everything in life.” “They also would have gotten that amount if they had simply apologized and come back. “Cupid, they’re so stupid.” “If they didn’t cause such a fuss with Ahn Sung Il, they would’ve earned much more,” “The other girls definitely won’t get paid because they have to pay for contract breech fees and more,” “They kicked away their luck,” as well as “If they earned that much money with just one single (they could’ve been wealthy), they really ruined their own future.”
