News ATTRAKT terminates Fifty Fifty contracts (2 Viewers)

Hmmm, I guess it's just a wait and see situation. I wonder if Keena was the string that pulled them together or if her returning left the other three no choice. I still hope they all find happiness.

beats me...but I think this situation will lead to a lot of other groups thinking twice about termination of "unfair" or "bad" contracts
which is a good and bad thing...

As much as I hate governments sticking their noses in things I think they need to look out for minor idols.

Think about it, 3 girls abused by an evil Korean K-pop company, taken advantage of by an evil producer, escape to the US. They already have a big following here. US fans are lazy and won't dig in to the dirt like Korean fans. Just the mention of contracts with minors, being put in debt as a minor, living in dorms where your kept from family/friends. Mention these and you'll have people getting their pitch forks. Just got to know how to pluck the emotional strings of the sheeple.

I hope they end up happy some how. All 4 of them.

Americans do not give a single solitary fuck about their backstory, and they most certainly do not have a "big following" here, please stop lying to yourself. If anything, people will not have sympathy for them as they willingly signed up as trainees knowing the whole debt & dorm issues. In America, that's called college, ffs. There will be no torches and pitchforks, they don't even do that for the artists we already have that are treated like garbage.

[breaking news - from the other side...????]

That's not news, it's a YouTuber alleging they're trying to grovel their way back to ATTRAKT while still insisting the CEO is a bad guy. They haven't returned and they likely won't.

I did put ??? since the "source" of the news is a bit dodgy...
We shall see where it all pans out I guess

You seem angry... It's just a friendly discussion. We may be right, we may be wrong but we're still just having a friendly discussion. And it's perfectly clear @Selfmate is wrong and defending his Sith brotherin, Attrakt's CEO!
Also, I've found 30+ articles about the three having their contracts canceled and only one about them returning (The one Selfmate provided).

Dodgy is WAY to nice of a word to describe APK's news...

what friendly discussion ???? I"m right and you're wrong - end of discussion!!!

I'm actually for neither side...I'm for the rule of law and the sanctity of the contract
and if that happens to just side with the CEO then so be it!!!

No idea what your talking about! You obviously photo shopped that reply...

Believe me, I'm not angry, if I was, you'd very much know it. This is more astonished/disgusted.

I just find the fandom line on this revolting, because it does nothing but hurt the group's already abysmal image. The Korean GP rightfully thinks the girls are not bright, and with the way International fans keep running their mouths parroting the abuse claims (which are shaky at best) trying to invoke sympathy is both pathetic and entirely laughable. The gullibility is astounding.

fun fact I have actually never ever used and don't know how to use Photoshop lol

With that, I shall exit this thread and go back to places where common sense is a thing, something KPS in general has been missing for years now.

Was researching the situation since the discussion I've seen here and there has been poor and not enough to grasp the situation logically and I found out that the girls exposed part of their contract details without there being any damning details in it so if Attrakt will no longer take them back then it's over for them because they're definitely a liability for a company now.

You had too much expectations for kpop community

Having used to work here, I'm well aware that I have too many expectations for this place. It's why I left and almost never post now.

Kinda sad when you guys seem to of shown up for the sole purpose of trying to make a generally happy, fun and friendly place miserable like your selves. If you hate the "k-pop" community so much why are you here? You guys seem to be the only ones around here incapable of bing civil.

Chill, my friend.
I don't hate kpop community, I just think that people in it use emotions more than logic.
As for miserable - I'm happy with my life. Does that mean that I should have no thoughts or preferences?
For civil part - yeah, I guess I came from places where are less rainbows.

Oh you sweet summer child. I don't hate the Kpop community, I can't stand people who are proudly ignorant and obtuse about serious topics. Doesn't matter if it's in Kpop or something else. It's also laughable that you're saying we can't be civil when you're the one trying to run people off for voicing their opinions. I for one, am not here to coddle people and agree with blatantly dumb takes from the willfully ignorant. Nowhere is all sunshine and rainbows, KPS included. I've also been here longer than you, so I ask you keep your patronization to yourself hun.
