FIFTY FIFTY's agency, Attrakt, has shown support for one of its members, Keena, on her birthday amidst an ongoing dispute between the group and the agency.

On July 9th, FIFTY FIFTY's official Instagram account shared a photo with the caption "2023.07.09. HAPPY KEENA DAY," celebrating Keena's birthday.

This gesture from Attrakt has garnered attention as it comes at a time when the trial is in progress, following FIFTY FIFTY's application for an injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts with Attrakt.

In the trial held at the Seoul Central District Court, FIFTY FIFTY argued that they were unable to continue with their exclusive contracts due to several reasons.

These included Attrakt's alleged violation of providing settlement data transparently and faithfully, neglecting the members' physical and mental health care obligations, and a lack of support for their entertainment activities.

In response, Attrakt denied these claims and defended themselves by stating that they had invested a substantial amount of money, approximately 8 billion won, and even borrowed funds from the CEO's mother.

They argued that FIFTY FIFTY's doubts about Attrakt's capabilities were unfounded and that it was unfair to dismiss their investment and claim that they lacked the necessary ability.

Netizens' Comments:

"Happy birthday, Keena! Stay strong amidst all this chaos."

"Attrakt's support seems superficial considering the legal battle going on."

"I hope the truth comes out during the trial. Both sides seem to have conflicting claims."

"Attrakt's defense doesn't convince me. Money invested doesn't necessarily mean proper management."

"Regardless of the dispute, Keena deserves a happy birthday. Wishing her all the best."

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
