ATTRAKT demands 130 Billion KRW from former FIFTY FIFTY members
In a statement, the K-pop agency said “We initiated a civil lawsuit against ex-FIFTY FIFTY members Saena, Sio, and Aran for the unauthorized termination of their contract.

ATTRAKT has declared that it intends to sue for several hundred billion KRW and that the number may go up as the case goes on. As per the report, the label filed a lawsuit, claiming roughly $99.7 million.
“The amount we are seeking for damages is in the hundreds of billions of KRW, but there is a possibility that the amount will become greater throughout the lawsuit.”
