by The Korea Entertainment Producers Association (from now on referred to as Yeonjehyeop) has opened its mouth regarding the group Fifty Fifty, which is experiencing setbacks in activities due to a conflict between the agency Attract and the external production team Dugiverse.
In a statement on the 5th, Yeonjehyeop said, “The practice of stealing members and tampering (pre-contact), which has been happening in the entertainment industry for a long time, has disrupted normal business activities and caused irreversible consequences for both the company and the affiliated celebrities.” The opportunistic hijacking of talent by impure forces based on capital power is an act that destroys the foundation of the growth of producers and artists who built the foundation of K-pop.”
“Now, producers and artists are no longer in a relationship between ‘A’ and ‘B.’ Everyone is a partner running toward one dream. Therefore, our association will never respond to these acts strongly. I plan to leave,” he said.
Concerned about the recurrence of such problems, the Korea Federation of Associations urged the National Assembly, the government, and related organizations to make institutional improvements. The Yeonjehyeop said, “We seek ways to develop a healthy industry, such as promoting the establishment of the ‘Popular Music Industry Promotion Committee,’ introducing a celebrity FA system, and an artist rental system so that K-Culture should become a pioneer that leads the global cultural industry, not just our own.” that,” he said.
Yeonjehyup concluded, “We, the Korea Entertainment Producers Association, wish for the success of Attract, which overcame the difficult industrial environment and created the so-called ‘dragon in Gaecheon.’ We look forward to the quick return and normal activities of the group Fifty Fifty.”
These results result from the blood and sweat of many producers and artists in Korea and the staff.
From discovering celebrities to basic training to develop competencies, language training for global activities, and character training to be equipped as a public figure. Our producers start from the starting line with 100% risk and invest huge capital and time to create every team of artists, fulfilling their duties as executive producers.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy the joy of success after debuting. However, in the process of running towards success, everyone has one goal to advance toward their dreams.
Recently, our association and member companies have been keeping a close eye on the situation that Attracts (CEO Jeon Hong-joon) is experiencing, who created the miracle of the group Fifty Fifty within a few months of their debut despite difficult conditions. Stealing members and tampering (pre-contact), which have been taking place in the entertainment industry for a long time, have hindered normal business activities and caused irreversible consequences for the company and the affiliated celebrities.
The opportunistic hijacking of talent by impure forces based on capital power is an act that destroys the foundation of the growth of producers and artists who have built the foundation of K-pop. Producers and artists are no longer a relationship between ‘A’ and ‘B.’ Everyone is a partner running towards one dream. Because of this, our association will never stand idly against these acts, and we plan to respond strongly.
In addition, the Korea Entertainment Producers Association is seriously concerned about related laws and institutional problems that have not yet been considered industrially and are keenly aware of the need for institutional supplementation to prevent such incidents from occurring again in the Korean entertainment industry, the center of K-pop, and the National Assembly and the government; I urge related organizations to join forces and seek solutions. K-Culture should become a pioneer in leading the global cultural industry, not just our own, by seeking ways to develop a healthy industry, such as promoting the establishment of the ‘Popular Music Industry Promotion Committee,’ introducing a celebrity FA system, and an artist leasing system.
Lastly, the Korea Entertainment Producers Association wishes for the success of Attract, which overcame the difficult industrial environment and created the so-called ‘Dragon in Gaecheon.’
