Dispatch announces they are fact-checking the information claimed by 'Unanswered Questions'

AKP STAFF

The FIFTY FIFTY controversy has further fallen into disarray following the recent lawsuit development and the latest broadcast episode of 'Unanswered Questions.'

On August 19, SBS's current events program 'Unanswered Questions' aired an episode covering the recent FIFTY FIFTY controversy that is currently causing an immense buzz in the entertainment industry.

After it was announced that 'Unanswered Questions' will be covering the story on FIFTY FIFTY, many looked forward to discovering the truth. 

However, to many viewers' disappointment, there was a substantial amount of crucial information that was omitted from the show. Moreover, many netizens felt that 'Unanswered Questions' were focused too much on the emotional aspects of the group rather than handling solid facts.

Then on August 21, Dispatch announced on its social media that the media outlet will be fact-checking certain information claimed by 'Unanswered Questions.'

Along with this announcement, Dispatch debunked one of the claims made by FIFTY FIFTY's side.

The episode of 'Unanswered Questions' raised new allegations regarding ATTRAKT's mistreatment of the FIFTY FIFTY members. The show claimed that ATTRAKT threw out the food the members' parents brought them and made the members pick them up from the floor while using harsh language.

Dispatch was able to get their hands on the surveillance footage of that incident and revealed that it was not ATTRAKT that threw the food on the floor. Additionally, Dispatch revealed that the "Food" that the members' parents brought were snacks. Moreover, the person who threw the snacks on the floor was Baek, from The Givers, but the incident occurred at ATTRAKT's Gangnam Center.

Dispatch then revealed, "Dispatch is currently investigating the incident on that day."


After this new piece of information was revealed, Korean netizens gathered in a popular online community and commented their thoughts on this whole matter.

They commented, "So the girls even lied to their parents?," "Unanswered Questions is an embarrassment, they didn't even fact-check and broadcasted so they're going to get slandered," "What was Unanswered Questions doing and not fact-checking? I guess the Unanswered Questions I knew until now were all a lie," "I'm going to filter Unanswered Questions lol Wow dang," "Wow, what did I watch...on Unanswered Questions until now...Wow," "I'm so disappointed in Unanswered Questions this time," "Wow, Dispatch win," "f*** is Unanswered Question crazy???? Get canceled," "The public's been believing in Unanswered Questions until now so I felt they definitely crossed the line this time. I really don't know what they were thinking when they did this," and "The day I support Dispatch has come."

Even though Dispatch has a reputation as a sensational tabloid news rag, I have to say all their fact checking seems to be extremely thorough. I feel like all their expose articles are hard hitting, extremely factual and non-biased. Got to give them props.
