Former FIFTY FIFTY members Saena, Sio, and Aran, who are gearing up for a comeback with their new agency, have taken legal action against their previous agency, ATTRAKT. They have successfully filed a counterclaim and requested that the lawsuit records be kept private.

On August 23, the three members, along with nine other individuals, asked the Seoul Central District Court to restrict access to the lawsuit records. The court approved their request and has sent copies of the decision to the legal teams of both parties.

The former members had previously filed a counterclaim against ATTRAKT, seeking damages of 13 billion won. They stressed that their counterclaim is not just about getting overdue payments but is crucial for clarifying past expenses related to their entertainment activities before addressing ATTRAKT’s claim for damages.

In their statement, they said, “This counterclaim came after our request to suspend the exclusive contract was rejected. Our legal team reviewed the financial details, leading to the current legal steps.” They also claimed that ATTRAKT has not provided clear financial statements to date.

ATTRAKT had originally filed a lawsuit for 13 billion won on December 18, 2023, against Saena, Sio, Aran, their parents, and executives from The Givers, including CEO Ahn Seong Il. The first court hearing was scheduled for August 29, but the trial has been postponed due to the counterclaim.

The former FIFTY FIFTY members have also applied for additional restrictions on trial records to keep the lawsuit details private while they prepare to resume their careers.

Recently, Saena, Sio, and Aran signed with the label MASSIVE E&C under iOK Company and are planning their return. MASSIVE E&C praised the members, noting, “They were key to the global success of ‘Cupid’ and significantly contributed to FIFTY FIFTY’s achievements.”

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
