• "I feel sorry for the CEO" — Netizens admire ATTRAKT's exceptional care for FIFTY FIFTY despite being a small label

    Netizens are actively sharing their admiration for how ATTRAKT has taken care of its FIFTY FIFTY members, despite being a small label.

    The label went above and beyond by providing the members with luxury brand clothing for their promotions.

    Recently, a post highlighting the outfits worn by FIFTY FIFTY during their major promotions, including concept photos and music shows, caught the attention of online users.

    The ensembles featured renowned brands such as Miu Miu, JW Anderson, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy, and more.

    The post also emphasized that small labels generally have limited budgets and often cannot afford expensive clothing for their artists.

    Thus, the netizens appreciated the extra effort ATTRAKT put into selecting these luxurious outfits for their members.

    Comments from netizens included:

    "It seems like large labels get sponsored by the brands, but I doubt ATTRAKT had the same privilege. I feel sorry for the CEO."

    "I doubt they could find a better CEO than him."

    "Even though I haven't experienced this personally, it still hurts…"

    "I saw a former labelmate talking about the CEO. Maybe they got too used to him being kind, or maybe they thought it was all thanks to Ahn Sung Ill?"

    "Honestly, this is the first time I've seen idols from a small company wearing luxury brands."

    "Even the 'big 4' weren't this generous when they were starting out."

  • EXO's Xiumin blocked from performing on KBS’s ‘Music Bank’? His agency says the broadcast station won’t even respond

    Xiumin’s agency, ONE HUNDRED, has spoken out about his unexpected exclusion from KBS 2TV’s Music Bank.

    On March 4, the agency released an official statement, saying, “Xiumin, under INB100, is preparing for his solo comeback with Interview X on March 10, his first in two years and six months."

    They added, "We have tried multiple times to reach out to KBS to secure a stage for him, but they have completely ignored us.”

    The agency also revealed shocking details, stating, “Recently, KBS unofficially told us that Xiumin cannot appear on Music Bank or any programs where SM Entertainment artists are also performing.”

    They continued, “We have repeatedly contacted KBS, asking them to put the artist and his fans first, but they won’t even respond.”

    ONE HUNDRED strongly criticized the situation, saying, “As a public broadcast station, KBS should not be making decisions based on a specific company’s stance."

    They added, "This is extremely unfair. We have done everything we can to resolve this, and we’re deeply disappointed to have to break this news to fans.”

    Despite the setback, the agency reassured fans, promising, “Even if Xiumin can’t appear on KBS, we won’t give up. We’ll find even better opportunities for him to showcase his performances in front of fans.”

    Meanwhile, Xiumin, who moved to INB100 (a subsidiary of ONE HUNDRED LABEL) in 2023, is set to release his second mini-album, Interview X, on March 10.

    Fans are now waiting to see how this situation unfolds.
