@Destiny2Team What so now that Marathon is bombing you've decided to grease the sides and pay attention to us?

Effectively changing the lawsuit to what you can get is a smarter option than seeking what is right because the media has saturated this situation and the value is diminished

Summary
The K-pop industry, renowned globally for its vibrant idol groups and immense commercial success, is currently grappling with a critical challenge: tampering disputes. Tampering, defined as unauthorized contact with artists bound by exclusive contracts, has recently surfaced as a serious issue, threatening to undermine the industry’s stability. This phenomenon, often involving rival agencies or producers enticing contracted idols to break or suspend their agreements, exposes systemic vulnerabilities in the K-pop business model. With the enormous financial and creative investments required to debut and promote idol groups—often reaching billions of won—contract integrity is paramount to ensuring sustainable growth.
Several high-profile cases have brought the tampering issue into sharp focus. The girl group Fifty Fifty’s legal battle in 2023 set significant legal precedents. After their sudden filing for contract suspension against their agency Attrakt, allegations of external tampering involving The Givers’ CEO Ahn Sung-il surfaced. The courts ultimately ruled in favor of Attrakt, dismissing the injunction and affirming the agency’s contractual rights. However, the fallout led to severed contracts with three members, who later signed with a new label, highlighting the complex aftermath of such disputes.
Similarly, EXO members Chen, Baekhyun, and Xiumin (EXO-CBX) challenged SM Entertainment over opaque profit distribution and contract terms. Their independent label, INB100, later linked to figures accused by SM of tampering, intensified allegations of indirect interference. Despite the contentious atmosphere, EXO-CBX remains contractually tied to SM for group activities, illustrating the intricate balance between individual and collective contracts in K-pop.
The most recent and contentious tampering dispute involves NewJeans, a girl group under Hybe’s subsidiary Ador. The conflict revolves around claims that former Ador CEO Min Hee-jin attempted to sever the group’s ties with Hybe, leading to legal battles over contract validity. With failed mediations and a court ruling pending, this case underscores the ongoing uncertainty and legal complexity surrounding artist-agency relationships in K-pop.
Industry stakeholders emphasize that honoring contracts is essential for the sector’s longevity. Given the colossal upfront investments and the intellectual property concerns—where artists’ stage names and brand identities are considered valuable assets—tampering is equated to corporate theft. Agencies warn that unchecked tampering jeopardizes future investments and the industry’s overall ecosystem. The collective voice of major music associations advocates for legal accountability and strict enforcement of contractual obligations to preserve K-pop’s viability.

@Jg0630jG @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 Stop lying no one in the industry supports them just you deluded stans
English

@NkastNathan @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 You’re dumb they are supported. They are doing well for a new group and they don’t need to be supported by hypocrites like yourself. They are creating their own identity. They are not replacements like your new #fiftyfifty, haunted by 1 song.
English

@Jg0630jG @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 How come no one, but you deluded stans think they are innocent, no idols or agencies, or anyone supports them, not one? Why??? Because they're liars. #ablume
English

@NkastNathan @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 Thanks to Ablume the fifty name is not nugu, be thankful and begone. Btw gravity by #fiftyfifty sucks

English

@Jg0630jG @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 Let's keep it real exactly how many idols have done collaborations with 3JEONG #ablume??? Zilch zero nada but hey I'm sure you have a very different delusional definition of success
English

@NkastNathan @saenaricotera @yongsok584099 Attrakt are losers and so are you Fifty Sasaeng begone trash 🚮
English

@saenaricotera @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 Look, you weirdos go to any lengths for 3JEONG without any proof or evidence, and the thing is, you're here accusing me of somehow responsible or condoning these lies you make up to explain away the lack of evidence #ablume has not produced.
English

@NkastNathan @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 But it wasn't that Siahn was an abuser, a mistreator and that Ablume were stupid for working with him and I don't know what else, why the obsession that if 2.0 sings Cupid? Why do you want them to keep singing a song about an "abuser"?
English

@saenaricotera @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 What does it mean? #FIFTYFIFTY still gets to perform it. That's all stans care about. ASI stans make me laugh, especially seeing posts like yours. is super hilarious.
English

@NkastNathan @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 And btw, you missed something, cupid is no longer owned by Attrakt or 2.0, it is solely and exclusively owned by SIAHN.


English

@saenaricotera @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 That's just about the most stupidest comment ever, so that means every Idol that has done the Pookie challenge is somehow involved in your delusions of conspiracy. Because you know that list is long. Cupid is another song by #FIFTYFIFTY. I don't know what you mean
English

@NkastNathan @Jg0630jG @yongsok584099 How do I explain that no one listens to the new members? Spotify's monthly listeners are thanks to Cupid, subscribers, and why 2.0 receives views in large part are thanks to Fifi, And don't even mention Attrakt's blatant buying of views and how they inflate sales.
English

You insult me and you talk about how bad ATTRAKT is when you don't even realize you talk about their good deeds more than #FIFTYFIFTY stans do it's like get a clue about what you're actually saying it just shows up Massive enc and #ablume each time you try to put #FIFTYFIFTY down.
English

@NkastNathan @yongsok584099 Ablume is new and weblumes support them. Garbage like yourself isn’t needed to support them.
