Former The Lush member Kim Min Hee recently expressed her anger toward the FIFTY FIFTY members while defending ATTRAKT CEO Jun Hong Joon. She expressed, "I'm so angry that they meticulously prepared to backstab him."

The Lush was a K-pop group that debuted in 2013 under Oscar Entertainment (a former agency created by Jun Hong Joon), and the group disbanded in 2017.

On July 10, Kim Min Hee spoke with News1 Entertainment TV and shared stories of ATTRAKT CEO Jun Hong Joon, defending him. Kim Min Hee began by sharing how angry she felt when first hearing about the controversy involving the FIFTY FIFTY members. She explained, "I felt that the situation was so bad, so I contacted the CEO, without wanting a reply. I just wanted to convey my heart to him that not everyone sees him in a bad light. I left a message telling him to have strength."

She continued, "But he replied. He didn't reply about the situation but he only said, 'I'm happy to see you're happy.' He's that type of person. He doesn't share his struggles with others. So after I received his message. I became so sad and cried. I'm not famous so I can't really do anything so I just wanted people around me to know the truth."

Earlier on July 8, Kim Min Hee shared a lengthy post on her personal social media account regarding the ongoing dispute between CEO Jun Hong Joon and the FIFTY FIFTY members.

In her post, she expressed her deep anger and frustration towards the FIFTY FIFTY members, accusing them of "meticulously preparing to backstab the CEO." Kim Min Hee shared, "I am so upset. He gave us allowances since our debut and paid us even though he made no profit from us. Thanks to him, we were able to learn acting and dancing. He's the person in my life whom I am truly grateful for. He recognized me, always believed in me, and supported me. He would tell us that a singer just needs to sing well and always made sure we don't see the dirty side of the entertainment industry. CEO Jun is really a good person, akin to a father figure."

She also shared that she decided to share her anger on social media, hoping that many people know the truth about CEO Jun Hong Joon. She shared, "I'm furious that they prepared meticulously to backstab him as they became successful. I want many people around me to know about this."

In the phone interview with News1 Entertainment TV, Kim Min Hee shared, "He has such a good personality. He comes second to none when it comes to being a good person." She defended the CEO, stating, "Claims that he did something badly are entirely untrue. I can assure you that I have never witnessed him engaging in any inappropriate behavior. He was never one to raise his voice. Whenever he visited, he was like a benevolent uncle, generously dispensing allowance money. He would constantly urge us to use the money to take taxis or buy snacks. It seemed as though he intentionally carried around cash just to give it to us, which is unusual as not many people carry around cash like that."

Kim Min Hee also shared her experiences with other companies and explained, "I've been to a lot of different companies and there's a lot of unjust treatment. Even though I was skinny, (other companies) would tell us not to eat and would tell us to walk. But he (CEO Jun Hong Joon) was different. He would tell us to take the taxi and tell us to eat because we needed strength to sing."

She also shared that he paid The Lush members early in their debut, even when they were in debt. She explained, "We survived with the allowance money he gave us. He also paid us performance fees early in our debut even when we were not at that level yet. The CEO actually offered to pay us first when we didn't even think about it." Then Kim Min Hee criticized FIFTY FIFTY saying, "If they weren't paid, then they should have asked for a detailed document of their payment log from the CEO and should have talked with the CEO first. It's my first time seeing (a group) taking legal action like this." She added, "If they talked to our CEO (CEO Jun Hong Joon) about this, he probably would have shown them everything. Because we would ask him too 'oh why is this missing?' and he listens and explains all the reasons behind everything."

She also expressed how upset she was after hearing that the CEO had sold his personal belongings to continue to support FIFTY FIFTY and criticized how the group took his kindness for granted.
