ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong Jun has expressed his wishes to reconcile with FIFTY FIFTY for a new start.
FIFTY FIFTY have filed for a provisional injunction against ATTRAKT to cancel their exclusive contracts with the label, and outsourcing company The Givers CEO Ahn Sung Il is alleged to be behind the members' lawsuit. However, CEO Jeon Hong Jun has expressed his intention to continue with the girl group.
In an interview with media on July 11, the ATTRAKT CEO re-asserted the lawsuit began because Ahn Sung Il gaslighted the FIFTY FIFTY members. He expressed, "I can only say we're here because Ahn Sung Il and his employee gaslighted the members. On June 19, we asked for proof of contents, but after saying he didn't see it because he was in a conference, we haven't been able to contact him since June 20. I can't get in contact with the members either, but I think Ahn Sung Il is in contact with them."
Jeon Hong Jun continued, "Honestly, two of the members are minors, and their parents don't know about this industry. How would they know about the situation? I can understand these things, and my only wish is to reconcile and have a fresh new start."
Stay tuned for upates.

In order for this to happen, the members and their parents need to come to the conclusion that they were mislead by Ahn Sung Il. I think right now they might be in denial and are desperately clinging on to the hope that he is right because of what the consequences for them will be if he is wrong.
Another big issue is that even if the CEO forgives them, the Korean public won't. I think international fans will be more forgiving, especially if they continue to make good music. I agree with ATTRAKT's CEO that the girls are somewhat victims given their very young age and getting taken advantage of by someone they trusted in Ahn Sung Il, who has a track record of shady behavior.
