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."

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
