On the 16th, Fifty Fifty's agency Attract announced, "We recently received a notification from the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul stating that 'the case of filing a complaint against An Seong-il for obstruction of business and destruction of electronic records has been recognized as a criminal offense and he has been sent to the prosecution without detention.'" Earlier, in June last year, Attract suspected that the influence of the outsourcing company Dang Gi-beoseu was involved in the Fifty Fifty members' application for a provisional injunction to suspend the validity of their exclusive contracts, and filed a complaint with the police, accusing CEO An of being behind the members' abduction. The charges Attract raised against CEO An at that time included obstruction of business, destruction of electronic records, fraud, and breach of trust in the course of business.

Attract stated that the fraud charge was dismissed due to lack of evidence, and the breach of trust charge is still under investigation. They also mentioned that the case filed last July for embezzlement and forgery of private documents is still being investigated.

Meanwhile, the members' application to terminate their exclusive contracts was dismissed by the court in August last year. Member Kina returned alone to the agency and is currently active as part of Fifty Fifty. Attract is currently holding auditions worldwide to select the second generation of Fifty Fifty. Additionally, in October last year, Attract notified members Saena, Shio, and Aran of contract termination and filed a lawsuit seeking 13 billion KRW in damages against these members, Dang Gi-beoseu, CEO An, and the parents of the three members.
