Netizens are reacting to an update concerning the three former FIFTY FIFTY members.
On an online forum, netizens responded to an article published on May 7, highlighting the financial troubles faced by three former FIFTY FIFTY members, Saena, Sio, and Aran, alongside The Givers, led by co-CEOs Kwon Ji Sun and Ahn Seong Il.
The article discusses the seizure of deposits from their bank accounts, amounting to 12 billion won, in addition to the 10 billion won provisionally seized in bonds. The final amount owed by the three members and The Givers remains undecided.
K-netizens commented that the three members will likely "have to work and submit everything they earn" to satisfy the impending seizure. The post indicates that only cash can be used by the individuals in this case.
Some netizens are questioning if any entertainment agency will take them in, considering it seems nearly impossible for "someone who is not a celebrity to earn those figures." Reports suggest that the three members are currently searching for a new agency to sign them.
Reactions include:
"This is sad"
"I mean...there's just no other way these girls can earn money by getting a normal job at this point."
"Oh, I didn't know they were looking for a new company..."
"I can't believe it's 12 billion won. Not thousand, not million..."
"They should have just stayed when they had the chance."
"Maybe they could become BJs...?"
"Did they really not anticipate this happening? T_T"
"This is too much... It's the other real con artists, thugs, and murderers out there whose money should be taken away instead... sigh."
"I think the amount of money is too much for these girls."
"But that's how much the company probably lost due to these incidents."
"I'm not sure how they will find new companies now because of their image, despite their song becoming world-famous."
