The recent legal attempt by 'FIFTY FIFTY' has been turned down due to insufficient reasons.

The judge ruled against the claims made by 'FIFTY FIFTY', which included concerns about contracts, health matters, and support. The court stated, "There isn't enough valid justification for these claims."

On August 28th, the 50th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court dismissed 'FIFTY FIFTY's request to halt their contract with 'ATTRAKT', the agency they are signed with.

According to the court, 'FIFTY FIFTY' could not provide strong evidence for contract termination and couldn't hold the agency responsible for trust issues.

'FIFTY FIFTY' had applied for this legal move on June 19th, highlighting three main concerns: problems with settlements, a lack of support for health issues, and insufficient backing.

Firstly, they raised concerns about a settlement discrepancy. They pointed out that their agency, 'ATTRAKT, had omitted 'music revenue' from their payments.

However, it turned out this mistake was allegedly made by an accounting staff member from 'The Givers', an outsourcing company. Once 'ATTRAKT' was aware of this mistake in June, they corrected it.

The court mentioned, "It's hard to say that 'ATTRAKT' significantly violated their settlement responsibilities or trust to a degree that warrants action."

Moving on, 'FIFTY FIFTY' claimed 'ATTRAKT' didn't fulfill their health protection obligations. However, the court found evidence that 'ATTRAKT' addressed the members' health concerns promptly and adjusted their schedules accordingly.

The court commented, "Based on what's been shown so far, it's not well-proven that the agency neglected their duty to manage and care for the members' health."

Lastly, 'FIFTY FIFTY' argued that due to changes in the outsourcing company (The Givers) and 'ATTRAKT's' challenges in supporting their entertainment activities, they couldn't provide sufficient help.

However, the court mentioned, "It's not straightforward to conclude that the agency violated the exclusive contract due to changes in outsourcing."

The court also pointed out that 'FIFTY FIFTY' didn't communicate their issues with the agency before taking legal action. The judge highlighted, "They abruptly terminated the contract, citing Aran's surgery as a reason for halting activities."

The court added, "Even considering 'FIFTY FIFTY's' requests for corrections, it's not clear that the agency failed to make amends or prolonged their obligations. It's also not easy to say that the trust between them has completely broken down."

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.
