This is clearly not the right thing to do. However, their actions aren't entirely without justification either. ABLUME did commit a truly despicable, subhuman act by demonizing completely innocent people.

@Luluga_ ABLUME’s biggest mistake was demonizing ATTRAKT’s CEO, who had done nothing wrong. This was an act of abandoning their own humanity, and the price for it will follow them for the rest of their lives.

🔴 May 2, 2023 — Aran underwent gallbladder surgery. Following the decision of ATTRAKT’s CEO, all members were placed on hiatus, with their return scheduled for July 14.

🟢 May 13 — A secret meeting was held at The Givers’ office, where Ahn Sung-il spread false information to the members and their parents, raised issues regarding settlements and advance payments, and suggested transferring the group to Warner Music Korea. Note: ATTRAKT has obtained an audio recording.

🔵 May 17 — A secret meeting took place at Warner Music Korea’s conference room in Nonhyeon-dong, attended by nine participants, including the members and their parents. Warner Music Korea’s CEO encouraged filing an injunction and promised legal support, as well as housing and practice facilities. Note: ATTRAKT has obtained an audio recording.

🟣 June 10 — Warner Music Korea presented ATTRAKT with a $19 million distribution advance contract that included harmful clauses, such as the return of advance payments if conflicts arose with members, plus a 50% additional penalty. ATTRAKT rejected the contract due to these toxic terms.

🟠 June 13 — Member Saena falsely reported to ATTRAKT that she had contracted COVID-19. She submitted a test kit photo originally provided by Ahn Sung-il to ATTRAKT in May, presenting it as her own. This was part of Ahn’s scheme to help all members leave the dorm undetected by the company.

🔴 June 17 – The members left their dorm and cut off all contact with ATTRAKT.

🟠 June 19 – The members filed for a preliminary injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts with ATTRAKT. On the same day, their parents registered a total of 60 trademarks, which was later revealed to have cost USD 11,000.

🟡 August 28 – The court dismissed all of the members’ claims. It specifically criticized the members’ unusual and unreasonable conduct, noting that they abruptly sent a notice to terminate the exclusive contract without ever raising concerns with the company or requesting remedies for the alleged breaches or breakdown of trust.

🟢 October 24 – The Seoul High Court rejected the appeal filed by three of the members against the first trial’s decision, bringing the case to a complete victory for ATTRAKT.

Since then, the three have been branded as traitors in Korea, unable to carry out any activities, and are now working as YouTubers posting song covers. In the second quarter, they generated only $2.88 in revenue.

@Luluga_ Thanks to the success of “Cupid,” FIFTY FIFTY continues to maintain exceptionally high Spotify monthly listeners — even by mid-sized agency standards. Ultimately, this clearly demonstrates the agency’s strong capabilities.

[Kenny @yongsungki70465]

@Luluga_ ABLUME is completely done for.

@Luluga_ ABLUME cannot escape liability for the 13 billion won in damages.

@Luluga_ Even now, ATTRAKT continues to invest generously in the FIFTY FIFTY members. Each member has their own private room, which is exceptionally generous for a mid-sized agency group that debuted less than two years ago. The agency also excels at producing high-quality music.

[nari @sonagiry]

@Luluga_ ATTRAKT is expected to receive a substantial compensation from the 13 billion won lawsuit. As a result, the company’s finances will become extremely solid by mid-tier agency standards, allowing them to make generous investments in FIFTY FIFTY.

@Luluga_ FIFTY FIFTY doesn't have a large fandom and isn't hugely popular right now. However, they turned profitable in 2025 and are still actively promoting. Their agency produces great music, and the group's future looks bright.

How do you plan to live with the karma of having deceived so many people for the rest of your lives? Even now, the best thing you can do is come clean, clear your conscience, and sincerely apologize to the ATTRAKT CEO. #ablume

@zhaocovey No matter how much you hate on ATTRAKT on Twitter, FIFTY FIFTY keeps going their own way. They turned profitable in 2025.On the other hand, ABLUME recorded total revenue of KRW 24.75 million (approx. $16,570) and a net loss of KRW 2 billion (approx. $1.38 million) in 2025.

@zhaocovey When I look at the deceitful actions of those three, it's hard to believe they are even human.

@zhaocovey Aren't you ashamed of yourself for being fooled by those three liars?

[nari @sonagiry]

@imblumora No matter how much you milk "Cupid," they still can't escape being basement shut-ins. In the end, only the tracks uploaded on ATTRAKT's official account ever get promoted. Are you an ATTRAKT shill by any chance? If so, wink with your left eye.

@zhaocovey Even now, I still can't believe something like this really happened.

@zhaocovey #ablume What does that dismal result tell us? In the end, an idol’s success depends on their agency’s ability to deliver good music. Hits don’t drop from the sky, and finding songs that perfectly suit an idol is all about the agency’s competence.
