FIFTY FIFTY rose to the top of the K-Pop industry faster than an arrow from Cupid himself... and then everything fell apart on June 2023. What happened? Why are they suing their company? Who are The Givers? Is it true they only paid $9,000 USD to the writers of the hit song Cupid? Why didn't FIFTY FIFTY record a music video for the Barbie movie soundtrack song they released? Why are Korean fans disillusioned with the members of FIFTY FIFTY? 
We answer ALL of these questions and MORE in today's Summer Short focused completely on ATTRAKT Creative Group, as part of our small companies episode! 
As always, please forgive any mispronunciations!
