The royalty payments for FIFTY FIFTY’s Cupid are halted since there is a legal dispute over the song’s copyright ownership. Following the resolution of the issue, CUPID’s royalties will be paid, according to the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOMCA). ATTRAKT officially requested that it be placed on hold. Producer Ahn Sung Il’s agency The Givers was sued by FIFTY FIFTY’s agency ATTRAKT for illegally extorting the copyrights to Cupid.
The royalty payment for Cupid from FIFTY FIFTY is on hold.
The viral hit Cupid’s royalty by FIFTY FIFTY will be put on hold until the copyright issues have been resolved, according to the Korea Music Copyright Association, which is responsible for distributing domestic royalties in South Korea.
Given the ongoing copyright dispute between The Givers and ATTRAKT, KOMCA granted ATTRAKT’s request to withhold the distribution of the royalties last week. The Givers agency, which has the majority of the copyright claim, was sued for extortion of the song’s rights by ATTRAKT, the agency for FIFTY FIFTY. The Giver responded by refuting the accusations and stating that producer Ahn Sung Il had a deal in place with the original producers to acquire copyright ownership of the song.
In order to assert his ownership of Cupid’s copyright, Ahn Sung Il fabricated documents.
A media outlet’s report that producer Ahn Sung Il had impersonated Cupid’s original creators in order to assert his ownership of the song captured everyone’s attention. According to reports, he allegedly used two forgeries to obtain the copyright from the original Swedish creators. Ahn Sung Il allegedly gave the producers $9000 or such, according to the allegation. The Givers’ producer pretended to be innocent during a conversation between Ahn Sung Il and ATTRKT’s CEO Jung Hong Joon, claiming that it takes time for all the producers to receive credit and that he did not explicitly inform him that he would purchase the copyrights to the song Cupid.
Barbie Dreams is now accessible. The highly anticipated K-pop collaboration single between singer Kaliii and the girl group FIFTY FIFTY became audible on streaming services on July 7. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, and other notable actors can be heard on Barbie’s original soundtrack.
Barbie Dreams with Kaliii and Fifty Fifty
The song that will be on “Barbie The Album” has long been anticipated because it is FIFTY FIFTY’s first collaborative and global effort for an OST. Barbie Dreams includes a snippet of Janet Jackson’s song Together Again.
While there were a variety of viewpoints on the sample’s use among internet users, many simply enjoyed the moment. The song has a very on-brand feel and matches the emotions of the Barbie characters, making it a perfect fit for the upcoming Warner Bros. film. The globe has been painted pink with a sprinkle of sparkle and stars by FIFTY FIFTY and Kaliii, perfectly capturing the tone of the movie.
The inclusion of Kaliii and the voices of Aran, Keena, Saena, and Sio in the release has garnered appreciation, despite complaints that the FIFTY FIFTY members were “robbed” of a music video. It is known that, despite the fact that a music video was originally planned, the idea was scrapped due to the ongoing legal conflict between FIFTY FIFTY, producer Ahn Sung Il, and their agency ATTRAKT.
The legal dispute between FIFTY and the organisation
The band asked for an injunction on June 19 to stop its exclusivity contracts with its management label, ATTRAKT.
It was recently revealed that the business stated they desired a chance to adequately engage the members following the initial hearing on July 5. However, the four members reportedly sought suspension due to a lack of settlement documents, a lack of management resources, and a violation of healthcare standards.
Meanwhile, there have been reports that the FIFTY FIFTY members have both their stage names and the Korean group’s name registered as trademarks. Their spokesperson claimed that ATTRAKT was not aware of the same.
However, it has come to light that the highly reported disagreement between ATTRAKT, producer Ahn Sung Il (SIANH), and the group’s members is the reason that the music video’s filming has been cancelled. The agency responded to the rumours by saying they couldn’t carry out the plan because of the current situation and member Aran’s health, who was later found to have undergone surgery. Shortly after the music video for their hit single Cupid’s reached 100 million views on YouTube, rumours of the girl group’s music video shoot for their impending official soundtrack release for the highly awaited movie Barbie began to surface online. According to a statement from the team’s agency ATTRAKT, the group’s participation at this year’s KCON LA was cancelled. Since then, other accounts of countless endorsement arrangements falling through have been reported.
