The Korea Management Federation has shared their concerns about the ongoing situation with FIFTY FIFTY. On the 25th, they released a statement addressing the recent tampering incident involving ATTRAKT, the group’s management company.

The federation said, "We recognize how serious the tampering issue is and are very concerned. Tampering is illegal and goes against fair contracts, damaging trust in the entertainment industry. It is very regrettable that three former members of FIFTY FIFTY, who were involved in this tampering, are trying to resume their activities as if nothing happened while avoiding responsibility by signing contracts with other agencies."

They added, "This behavior goes against basic contract ethics and common sense. It seriously harms the trust of everyone involved. Especially troubling is the artist who led the tampering, trying to ignore existing contracts and start working again. This is unethical and greatly undermines trust in the entertainment industry."

The federation stressed, "We take this situation very seriously and condemn attempts to illegally cancel contracts through tampering. We urge all artists to be responsible for their actions and follow their legal and ethical obligations. Additionally, we will strengthen legal measures to prevent harm caused by tampering and take action to ensure these issues do not happen again."

Previously, on the 23rd, ATTRAKT announced they had filed a lawsuit seeking 20 billion won in damages against Jin, a former representative of Warner Music Korea, and Yoon, a former executive director, over allegations of tampering before the expiration of contracts.

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.
