FIFTY FIFTY's agency, Attrakt, has shown support for one of its members, Keena, on her birthday amidst an ongoing dispute between the group and the agency.

On July 9th, FIFTY FIFTY's official Instagram account shared a photo with the caption "2023.07.09. HAPPY KEENA DAY," celebrating Keena's birthday.

This gesture from Attrakt has garnered attention as it comes at a time when the trial is in progress, following FIFTY FIFTY's application for an injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts with Attrakt.

In the trial held at the Seoul Central District Court, FIFTY FIFTY argued that they were unable to continue with their exclusive contracts due to several reasons.

These included Attrakt's alleged violation of providing settlement data transparently and faithfully, neglecting the members' physical and mental health care obligations, and a lack of support for their entertainment activities.

In response, Attrakt denied these claims and defended themselves by stating that they had invested a substantial amount of money, approximately 8 billion won, and even borrowed funds from the CEO's mother.

They argued that FIFTY FIFTY's doubts about Attrakt's capabilities were unfounded and that it was unfair to dismiss their investment and claim that they lacked the necessary ability.

Netizens' Comments:

"Happy birthday, Keena! Stay strong amidst all this chaos."

"Attrakt's support seems superficial considering the legal battle going on."

"I hope the truth comes out during the trial. Both sides seem to have conflicting claims."

"Attrakt's defense doesn't convince me. Money invested doesn't necessarily mean proper management."

"Regardless of the dispute, Keena deserves a happy birthday. Wishing her all the best."

Producer Rhymer had a funny and proud moment on TV when he revealed that he got more screen time than actor Kim Woo Bin — and his parents couldn’t be happier.

On the May 1st episode of tvN’s variety show Handsome Guys (episode 21), cast members Cha Tae Hyun, Kim Dong Hyun, Lee Yi Kyung, and Shin Seung Ho were joined by guest Rhymer, filling in for Oh Sang Wook, who was away for the Fencing Sabre World Cup.

The team took on the challenge of suggesting lunch and dinner menus for hardworking office workers.

This wasn’t Rhymer’s first appearance on the show. He had previously joined a special episode focused on people born in the Year of the Snake, where he stood out with his unique and quirky charm.

During the episode, Cha Tae Hyun brought up how Rhymer’s screen time had felt a bit short the last time he appeared.

But Lee Yi Kyung jumped in, saying, “It seemed like you were on a lot,” and Rhymer agreed, adding a proud moment from home.

He said, “It ended up being longer than I expected. My parents even said, ‘You were on longer than Kim Woo Bin,’ and they were really happy about it.”

Rhymer’s lighthearted story had everyone laughing, showing how even the smallest moments on screen can be a big deal for proud parents.
