• Alleged cousin of FIFTY FIFTY member challenges Dispatch claims, expresses support for girl group

    A purported relative of a member from the girl group FIFTY FIFTY has come forward to defend the group against a recent report by Dispatch.

    Dispatch recently published an article regarding an ongoing conflict involving FIFTY FIFTY, Ahn Sung Il, the CEO of The Givers, and Jeon Hong Joon, the CEO of ATTRAKT.

    In response, the alleged cousin of a FIFTY FIFTY member shared their perspective on Instagram. In an Instagram story, the individual identified as 'A' disclosed, "I want to reveal the truth because many of my friends are concerned about my older cousin. I can no longer contain my frustration."

    'A' refuted the allegations made in Dispatch's report and stated, "ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong Joon has never treated the members kindly and has shown no regard for my sister's health condition. His claims of selling his car, watch, and using his mother's money are all false. He has never sold anything to support the group."

    The alleged cousin further expressed that FIFTY FIFTY had valid reasons for taking legal action to terminate their contract with ATTRAKT and criticized the media for presenting a biased perspective.

    'A' wrote, "There are legitimate grounds for their lawsuit, and the situation they are facing is not trivial. I trust my sister and our family, and I am patiently waiting to see how this unfolds. The reason the media is biased is because the CEO is spending money to generate positive articles. I urge you not to believe these strange articles. I have read many of them, and none of them are accurate. The world is more corrupt than I had imagined. There is a lot of discussion on YouTube and other platforms, but the CEO is not someone deserving of support."

    'A' concluded with gratitude towards their concerned friends, stating, "I want to thank my friends who have asked about the situation. It is impossible to change the media's narrative, and it is challenging to alter the beliefs of those who have fallen for the lies. If you are curious, please ask me instead of relying on the articles. There is much I cannot disclose, but I can clarify what falsehoods are being spread."

    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.
