Email Subject: Fifty Fifty Fan Union's boycott against their company Attrakt
Hello!
I wanted to share some new information about FIFTY FIFTY's legal dispute against their agency in case you would like to share.
Following the release of the new The Beginning album from Fifty Fifty during their legal dispute with the company, fans are boycotting everything that could possibly benefit their company directly and are asking everyone to do the same. This includes streaming their songs, watching official videos or monetized third party videos, purchasing their albums, and more. We will no longer stand for their agency's constant mistreatment and attempts at tarnishing of FIFTY FIFTY's reputation.
- The company has presented a distorted narrative that suggests the members are suing to leave the company for no justifiable reason.
- We have been presented with evidence that the members suffered incredible violation of their rights during their time under the company. They were put on a highly restrictive diet of just chicken breasts and butter coffee. One member developed cholecystitis (linked to excessive weight loss and high fat diet) from this diet which she needed surgery for but kept being delayed. Another member suffered severe panic attacks where she even passed out.

- They were put under surveillance with security cameras all over the company that could be viewed from the CEO's office. They were verbally abused simply for having food items that were not allowed.
- The company has presented a highly suspicious statement of accounts. They claimed to have invested 8 bil. KRW into this group but the average cost of a kpop girl group is only 2 bil. KRW including indirect costs.

- There is a questionable advance deal from the distributor Interpark. The advance deal was signed with some other company, not Attrakt and funds that were given just for the Fifty Fifty project also went into the other company. The members have filed a criminal report against the CEO for this.

- The members of Fifty Fifty have been slandered to extremes online by Koreans who believe they sued the company to join Warner Music. There is no evidence of that at all.
- The company has done nothing at all to stop the slander of the members, not even an official statement. They are not interested in protecting their artists to ensure that they can perform publicly without fear for their safety.
- The members themselves have said that they would rather quit a singing career than go back to the company.

We are also doing a mass unfollowing of all of their official social media accounts to further emphasize our stance. I would very much appreciate it if you could share this information as a majority of FIFTY FIFTY's listeners are either not K-Pop fans and/or only know of them through their song 'Cupid'. Therefore, they most likely wouldn't be aware of this ongoing boycott and it would make it very hard to show a difference. Below are some resources from FIFTY FIFTY's Fan Union which includes a thorough explanation and guideline for the boycott as well as a poster. Thank you for your time!
