Girl group FIFTY FIFTY’s agency Attrakt (CEO Jeon Hong-joon) is proceeding with a lawsuit for damages against The Givers
On September 27th, Attrakt filed a lawsuit for a damages claim of 1 billion won against The Givers, Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil through the Seoul Central District Court.
According to the complaint submitted by Attrakt, The Givers’ Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil not only violated their obligations under the business service contract with Attrakt but also obstructed Attrakt’s work, deceived Attrakt and engaged in fraudulent acts contrary to Attrakt’s interests, resulting in financial losses.
Attrakt stated, “In particular, when Attrakt entered into a Project Management (PM) business service contract with The Givers (from June 1st, 2021 to May 31st, 2026) at the time of developing and debuting a rookie girl group project that Attrakt wanted to produce, Ahn Sung-il (as the main producer for the project) and Baek Jin-sil (as The Givers’ executive director) performed management and overall work for the project according to the PM business service contract.“
An Attrakt representative added, “Due to Ahn Sung-il and Baek Jin-sil’s embezzlement and misappropriation of business, as well as the loss of major business opportunities such as advertising bookings and sponsorship refusals, and their failure to fulfill obligations and illegal actions, direct disputes have arisen between our company and the artists, preventing normal entertainment activities. The damages claimed this time is a partial amount, and we plan to expand the damages claim amount during the trial process.”
Meanwhile, Attrakt is preparing a new girl group project set to debut in the first half of next year.
