FIFTY FIFTY’s ‘Cupid’ at the Center of Legal Battle
Global K-pop sensation FIFTY FIFTY’s hit ‘Cupid’ remains embroiled in a heated copyright dispute. ATTRAKT, the group’s agency, has filed an appeal after losing a recent court battle against production company The Givers over the song’s rights.
Background of the Dispute
The case began when ATTRAKT claimed that The Givers unlawfully retained ‘Cupid’s’ copyright and demanded its transfer. However, the Seoul Central District Court ruled against ATTRAKT, prompting the agency to seek further legal action and new legal representation.
The conflict has also led to contract terminations and legal claims involving former FIFTY FIFTY members, with some members joining new group A BLOOM under The Givers’ leadership.
Ongoing Legal Actions
ATTRAKT has accused The Givers’ CEO of various legal offenses and continues to pursue damages. Meanwhile, The Givers maintain that the court ruling affirms their rightful ownership of ‘Cupid,’ calling for an objective resolution.
What’s Next?
As both sides prepare for further legal battles, the final ownership of ‘Cupid’—a Billboard-charting global hit—remains uncertain. Fans and industry insiders alike watch closely for updates on this high-profile K-pop dispute.
