What's amazing and a bit confusing here is there are no collapse on their side, assuming The Givers are the instigators, you would think, like at the very least if the parents were purely driven by greed, they would have begun turning against The Givers or each other to save their own selves by now, but nope the unity is amazing tbh, the fact that they trademarked their names suggest they even have a long term view on this. lol

They trademarked their names already, indicating they might go in that direction, either they sign with some mid level US label through Siahn's contacts or Warner could go the I don't give a fuck route and partner with their indepented label.

The court also won't care about where did he spend the investment money. CEOs can allocate the investment however they deem appropriate, especially since it is not a public company that has shareholders
They kinda do? if 50/50 is prying on the investment from interpark that supposedly should be used for them and they can somehow prove or the CEO fails to reason why things are the way they are, then that adds ground to their case, remember they're not implicating the CEO, the core of their lawsuit is breach of trust so they want to suspend their exclusive contract, so in theory all they need to do is to prove their CEO is acting a tad bit shady and they're off.

a fling with Cha Eunwoo while in a long term relationship with Billionaire Shindong, taste the best of both worlds.

I think he's a big fan of John Wick, no?

I've been following fromis just shortly after they formally debuted, I think this is actually the best position for them, a solid mid tier group, because any rise in popularity directly correlates to rise in the hate they will recieve, because of the rigging scandal, they are just a literal punching bag online, for instance they just called Bang as their CEO as a passing remark before and Knetz swarmed in reminding them that they're not worthy to be part of Hybe.
The fact that Haein was revealed to be rigged out and she was top 1 was the final nail in the coffin for fromis_9, in that hating them is legitimized by the rigging scandal.

Honestly even in fifth harmony's peak most people knew the group but didn't know the members or at best they could name Camila or perhaps normani .
I doubt any non K-pop fans in the us knows any member from fifty fifty . Aran and sio now aren't in a better situation than the other two
Because that's kinda the norm in the US? Unless you reach household level like Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga most people will only know your few songs and maybe you will have a small dedocated following, hell Country Music is a big corner of the US music scene but a lot of Americans hardly know artists in that genre, US and Western music market is just so big one can fill a small pocket of it and try to have a shot at it.
I mean better in a sense that they have a market to still perform in where they are not viewed as national traitors or something lol, I'm not saying they're gonna succeed in the US either but it is an option for them. The other two is kinda screwed unless they can sound natural singing in English.

I don't understand why that CEO didn't sell their contract to Warner and moved on I heard a rumor that he wanted to create a boy group the money that Warner supposedly suggested would've been enough for a new group he clearly had no intention in developing the group's career and just relay on that one hit song and that's what most small companies do when their gg succeed they ditch them for a bg and Fifty-fifty has the right to seek a company that would care about their career but unfortunately this CEO is beating them at PR so hopefully something strong comes out of this lawsuit if not I don't see them having a long career
As far as I know the dude was valuing his company at around $60M to the VCs and likely aiming for an IPO, so he prolly thought the $16M(?) from Warner offer was too small.

More like they knew the producer guy is the one that can possibly make a Cupid 2.0 which means more $$$ and the one doing the production, also the reason that made it worse from the POV of the members is Attrakt is a man one show.
It's not like a situation where in JYPE if the producer of NMIXX leaves. it is just the producer leaving JYPE. JYPE still has the infra, personnel and Producer#2 for NMIXX, for Fifty Fifty, Attrakt = The Givers. and with the breakup in relations where it is just Attrakt that is left, just again remember Attrakt is a one man show. -

their best shot at taking off was taking every advantage this viral song got them.
True but they missed that lol, I'm only speculating about the future, emphasis on the speculating part. as the saying goes The second best time is today.

The US is not checking for Aran and Sio. Trust me, it’ll be 100x harder for any of them to make a career in the US.
But a lot easier than re-starting in South Korea again, I'm speaking purely in context of Fifty Fifty, if things stay the same as of right now. And they don't need to be checked by 'America' but only a small chunk of it, The US and in the larger context, the English music market has enough wiggle room to thrive by just filling a niche, I mean for example Joji and Nikki from 88rising aren't exactly breaking records left and right but has something going with them to make a career out of it.

After hearing the Barbie soundtrack snippet it seems like Aran and Sio got the most lines again, which makes sense since they're the main and lead vocals, with Kali taking the rap role, it seems like the two other members were left on the harmonization and backing vocals role. But that itself is the implication moving forward, if they were to become an English songs only group and heavily promote in the West, Saena and Keena has little to no role i.e. if you are a Western label why bother getting all of them when you can only get the relevant members. case in point Keene and Saena weren't part of Cupid English version.
Assuming they will really get cancelled hard in South Korea, There's an odd chance that an American label will be interested to pick Sio and Aran only. Then re-debut them as a two member vocal group like akin to ABBA, I know ABBA has more members but you get the point, they have Cupid(Twin Version) under their belt and with the Barbie OST they even got more exposure, a lot of Western producers know their voices now. I mean name any other idols who has an English song that was able to reach the top charts of major Western countries like the US and the UK and stayed/still staying there for weeks that was primarily driven by the Western GP in their resume?
And in case you don't know those two has been covering a lot of English songs. lol
Sio - God is a woman(Ariana Grande)
Sio - I love you 3000(Stephanie Poetri)
Aran - Just the two of us(Bill Withers)
Like Bro that's a lot of additional demos for interested Western labels...
On personal relationship side, if you followed Fifty Fifty, Aran and Sio are the closest and they even apparently share the same room in their dorm. So they don't have any problem on that front either. And for their current controversy? No one gives an f about that specific issue in the Western market. That's not even controversial when viewed through the Western lens.

Far as I saw, there were some fiftyfifty trademarks that already existed, but others that don't that these trademarks are covering.
So the alleged trademarks made under the members and their families names doesn't necessarily points to the Fifty Fifty( the Kpop group)? -
Just to be clear it is already done? How come Attrakt doesn't have the Trademark before the group debuted? When you see other labels trademarking group names months or even years before debut.
On the side note this will definitely not help their public reputation in South Korea. lol maybe they do really plan to go abroad. -
I still stand by my opinion that Fifty Fifty are stupid tho, cause whether they are right or wrong the timing they chose couldn't be worse. Their entire momentum is wasted. The Barbie movie is gonna be huge. FF will always regret missing the opportunity to be associated with it.
While calling them stupid is your opinion, the last part about missing all of those massive opportunities are definitely true. Only time will tell if they made the right decision, if their case is the version of the truth, I would say they made the right decision but if it is the opposite, then geez way to fumble the bag.
