ATTRAKT is set to reorganize their four-member girl group, as announced by the agency on November 2, 2023.
“We plan to reorganize FIFTY FIFTY centering around Keena, who recently returned [to the agency.] We will recruit three new members and form a four-member group.”
The announcement comes 2 weeks following ATTRAKT’s termination of the contracts of former FIFTY FIFTY members Aran, Saena, and Sio, where the agency commented, “We have secured clear evidence of tampering collusion between the three members and The Givers representative Ahn Sung Il, and legal action is planned accordingly.”
Apart from that, the Seoul High Court’s rejection of Saena, Aran, and Sio’s appeal on their case against ATTRAKT. The Seoul High Court had concluded that the members’ claims had “insufficient evidence”, thus ultimately siding in favor of ATTRAKT.
About 4 days ago on October 29, 2023, ATTRAKT also announced that FIFTY FIFTY’s Keena will be attending the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on November 19, 2023. The group had been nominated for two Billboard Music Awards this year: Top Duo/Group and Top Global K-Pop Song (for Cupid).
Here are some of the reactions of Hunnies (FIFTY FIFTY fans) about the news:
in case you didn’t know, the cupid version that went viral is only sung by TWO members of the group and both of them + saena are gone now because of health issues caused by their company’s mistreatment. by supporting the new generation of fifty fifty you would be supporting abuse pic.twitter.com/z9KkwoF0lh

Attrash knows they’re a flop company without Fifty Fifty, that’s why they’re keeping the name and forcing Keena to stay in that group instead of creating a new one. they don’t see these girls as people they see them as cash grabs and it’s disgusting. https://t.co/QW6gmnl3tE

For the new girls that join this new FiFi ver. 2, maybe they just really want to become singers and saw this as the perfect oppurtunity. But to me, Fifty Fifty will always be Keena, Saena, Sio and Aran. That will never change. I'll always support Keena through boycott methods. pic.twitter.com/FTupbqbAPN
