A purported relative of a member from the girl group FIFTY FIFTY has come forward to defend the group against a recent report by Dispatch.

Dispatch recently published an article regarding an ongoing conflict involving FIFTY FIFTY, Ahn Sung Il, the CEO of The Givers, and Jeon Hong Joon, the CEO of ATTRAKT.

In response, the alleged cousin of a FIFTY FIFTY member shared their perspective on Instagram. In an Instagram story, the individual identified as 'A' disclosed, "I want to reveal the truth because many of my friends are concerned about my older cousin. I can no longer contain my frustration."

'A' refuted the allegations made in Dispatch's report and stated, "ATTRAKT CEO Jeon Hong Joon has never treated the members kindly and has shown no regard for my sister's health condition. His claims of selling his car, watch, and using his mother's money are all false. He has never sold anything to support the group."

The alleged cousin further expressed that FIFTY FIFTY had valid reasons for taking legal action to terminate their contract with ATTRAKT and criticized the media for presenting a biased perspective.

'A' wrote, "There are legitimate grounds for their lawsuit, and the situation they are facing is not trivial. I trust my sister and our family, and I am patiently waiting to see how this unfolds. The reason the media is biased is because the CEO is spending money to generate positive articles. I urge you not to believe these strange articles. I have read many of them, and none of them are accurate. The world is more corrupt than I had imagined. There is a lot of discussion on YouTube and other platforms, but the CEO is not someone deserving of support."

'A' concluded with gratitude towards their concerned friends, stating, "I want to thank my friends who have asked about the situation. It is impossible to change the media's narrative, and it is challenging to alter the beliefs of those who have fallen for the lies. If you are curious, please ask me instead of relying on the articles. There is much I cannot disclose, but I can clarify what falsehoods are being spread."

Choi Si Hoon, known from Single’s Inferno and newlywed husband of singer Ailee, is facing backlash after being linked to a controversy from Wavve’s queer reality show ToGetHer.

Fans discovered that Choi is allegedly the CEO of the influencer agency representing Ri Won, a cast member now at the center of a growing scandal.

The situation started when castmate Han Gyeol spoke up, claiming Ri Won once suggested an overseas trip that felt more like a shady meeting than a casual hangout.

“I thought it was a fun vacation invite at first,” Han Gyeol said, “but when they started talking about meals and date-like things, I realized something was wrong. It felt like an inappropriate setup.”
Han Gyeol added, “Using someone’s sexuality as a shield for suspicious actions is not okay in this industry.”

Ri Won responded by saying it was all a misunderstanding and that the trip was mentioned casually during a conversation about food. “We joked about going to that country after talking about food,” Ri Won said.

However, things got more intense when Ri Won admitted to having a past as a 'beotbang' (adult streaming) BJ. “I know I’m not trustworthy right now, and I appeared on TV while hiding my past. That’s why I shared some proof—I was desperate,” Ri Won explained.

Ri Won also shared a blurred message from another cast member that accused them of fake dating and lying about knowing someone from Billboard. “You said you’d introduce me to a Billboard contact. Then give me their name and title,” the message read. “You just keep switching your targets.”

Ri Won replied, “He’s the team leader at Billboard Korea and also my influencer agency CEO.”
This comment led online users to dig deeper—and some claimed the CEO Ri Won mentioned is none other than Choi Si Hoon, Ailee’s husband.

Currently on his honeymoon with Ailee, Choi is now getting unwanted attention. Some netizens brought up his alleged past as an adult BJ and now, his possible involvement in this controversy.

On Ailee’s Instagram post from April 30, one fan wrote, “Unnie, sorry to bother you during your honeymoon, but please search Choi Si Hoon’s name. A female BJ said she’s signed to his company, and he supposedly arranged a meeting for her with a just-turned 19-year-old girl.”

As the issue grew, Ri Won spoke out again on May 1 to calm things down. “The person I mentioned in the messages was just someone who gave me advice,” Ri Won clarified. “He’s not my agency CEO, like some people assumed. I thought he could help with music, but he never made any business offer.”

Ri Won ended by saying, “I’m sorry for causing any confusion and discomfort to others with my personal remarks.”

So far, Choi Si Hoon and Ailee have not made public statements about the situation.
