untrue

she stans 5050

It done with FIFTY2. Rip your career because of your greedy. Netizen will now support the ceo even more now. Sharp controvesy was very huge back then.

So many twists and turns! Could be an interesting movie

this was such a huge scandal that all of Korea followed, the bullied idol was treated horribly and only had two people in her corner who were defending her and trying to help her and since he was one of them, knetz will now think of his humanity even more

This ceo guy looks kinda like korean version of michael jackson in this pic

Shit, I didn't know that 2023 would be the year of k-drama

This ceo really knows how to use PR

Quote from Daisy_Queen

The mediaplay is so strong with this man. Let's talk about how he's treated his artists over the last 10 years instead

Why you trying to bring down a saint. Dude got a nugu group a posh 3 BR apartment in Gangnam.

people really think that he is a good man

(A thread I saw on Twitter)

which ofc he's going to charge it to them anyway. 5050 realized they were swimming in so much debt that they wanted out and a fresh start with warner.

Big companies are pushing the idea the CEO is a saint in the media because they want to destroy 5050

I don't trust this guy tbh. I heard that selling his car to promote Fifty Fifty was a lie (even before this whole controversy) and now I'm hearing he's lying about being the good guy in this situation. It just seems like he knows how to manipulate the press to make himself look good. Meanwhile, I witnessed his terrible mismanagement of Hotshot in real time, a group that was basically handed opportunity on a silver plater after P101 and he botched it up.

The good stuff's further down to the thread of the tweet posted if you didn't click thru:

The screen grab shows JHJ as the PR director. In other words, he's a professional spin master.

If this checks out, his hero to villain arc occurred faster than Fifty Fifty.

Maybe the op might want to edit the original post.

there is clearly an agenda in korean industry to finish 50/50.

imagine if in the future companies would actually have to care about idols like some people with actual rights.

He is way more famous than Fifty-Fifty at this point.

Looking into it. Somebody fused two completely different(They're not even in the same year) press conferences together in their reporting.

i watch the fifty fifty mismanagement in real time...

At first he started the project with Kamp but they got out since Attrakt is useless to work with.

Than the givers jumped in and did all the work. After realising there are no changes and attrakt will keep being shitty they stopped working together on march 31st but didnt make it public to not damage 50/50 reputation and image. The CEO of attrakt had no such problems and attacked Warner and the givers in public. Seeing how he alianates all business partners i would have jumped the sinking ship even without the financial issues or how he said he is pricky and talks harsh to the member.

At first I felt bad for the ceo but now I am tired of the obvious media play. How is this related to the 5050 situation?

Even if he is the good guy, what is he exactly after? Money? I didn’t read the entire situation but isn’t he getting paid if Fifty Fifty go with Warner?

Clearly Korean netizens side with him so they should support his next project/group. While FiftyFifty can go with Warner and release music in English (clearly SK isn’t their audience). I didn’t care about the situation before but after liking FiftyFifty’s latest song as well, it hit me that the formula of their voices/singing is special. I really hope they have more songs in that style regardless of what I feel about the members.

He wants the members that he invested in to wake up and stick with him. If it was just about money for him, then sure, he would let them go with Warner. I think it's weird how so many of you guys just expect someone to give up something that they worked hard for and invested in. Especially after clearly being betrayed by someone he trusted. Money is important but obviously it isn't just about that for him.

He is lying again

The one who protected Lee Jihye was someone else

He was just the spokesman at that time.

So you want him to just let go of all the time, effort and money he put into the group without doing anything? Lol

if you had got betrayed you would react the same as ceo

Have you heard of the group Kiss of Life? They kinda remind me of Fifty Fifty in the sense that vocals are special, even though their vocal color is different than 5050

I support both sides, I think they should share the business fifty fifty

It has been belatedly revealed that ATTRAKT‘s CEO Jeon Hong Joon was one of two label employees who defended an idol member from her group members that bullied her.

On July 6, several news reports revealed Jeon Hong Joon’s legendary past.

According to reports, ATTRAKT’s CEO Jeon Hong Joon is the famous label executive who stood by then-Sharp (also known as S#arp) member Lee Ji Hye in an unforgettable press conference. Sharp was a first-generation K-Pop group that consisted of members Chris, Lee Ji Hye, Seokhyun, and Seo Ji Young.

For context, Seo Ji Young and the other members of the group bullied Lee Ji Hye as her popularity rose. Lee Ji Hye finally exploded one day when Seo Ji Young began mocking her in the elevator. Seo Ji Young had taunted Lee Ji Hye by singing, “Lee Ji Hye is such a jerk.” Unable to hold it in any longer, Lee Ji Hye yelled back, “Then just how talented are you?” and allegedly hit Seo Ji Young twice. The incident took a turn for the worse when Seo Ji Young’s mother then appeared and assaulted Lee Ji Hye.

Seo Ji Young’s family then held a press conference to kick Lee Ji Hye out of the group, where Seo Ji Young alleged that Lee Ji Hye had punched her over seven times and that she had never cursed at Lee Ji Hye.

The press conference was turned upside down, however, when the group’s manager stood up for Lee Ji Hye and dismissed Seo Ji Young’s claims as ridiculous and testified that he heard Seo Ji Young curse at Lee Ji Hye.

Jeon Hong Joon (ATTRAKT’s CEO) then revealed that Seo Ji Young’s mother had cussed out Lee Ji Hye and had struck her. Seo Ji Young, taken aback at her manager’s rebuke, hurriedly tried to leave the press conference before finishing her statement.

Although both Seo Ji Young and Lee Ji Hye buried the hatchet years later, Korean netizens still fondly remember Jeon Hong Joon’s (Fifty Fifty CEO) kind act. You can read more about the incident in the link below.

If this is true, I don't see public sentiment supporting Fifty Fifty in Korea. This was a legendary case.
