FIFTY FIFTY’s agency ATTRAKT has released a new statement naming Warner Music Korea as the “external force” that approached the group’s members about violating their contracts.
Last week, ATTRAKT announced that it would be taking legal action against a third party that had approached FIFTY FIFTY with the intention of persuading them to violate their exclusive contracts with their current agency. ATTRAKT stated at the time, “Through slanderous accusations against us and glorified flattery about themselves, these external forces are committing an illegal act of inducing our agency’s artists to make the wrong decision to ignore their valid exclusive contracts and sign contracts with them.”
On June 26, ATTRAKT went on to announce that it had sent Warner Music Korea a certification of contents after learning that Warner Music Korea had been involved in discussions with an outside party about buying FIFTY FIFTY from their agency.
“We have already obtained material evidence of a clear attempt to illegally poach the FIFTY FIFTY members,” stated ATTRAKT in an official press release. “We request that Warner Music Korea make a precise explanation and statement of their official position.”
Earlier this year, after FIFTY FIFTY skyrocketed to fame with their viral hit “Cupid,” ATTRAKT signed a partnership with Warner Records to promote the group globally.
