Fifty Fifty's agency claims Warner Music is attempting to poach the members

[+212] To the "external force," do you think that Fifty Fifty achieved their fame by pouring money on them? It was the desperation of their current agency and the supreme eye for picking their viral song that worked in the international market. How dare you think you can steal all of that for free? Pathetic.
[+92] Could a company that resorts to such methods as poaching even offer a fair contract to the members? ㅋㅋㅋ I bet you they'll hand them slave contracts
[+23] Wow~~ wait a minute~~ I thought we were in the 21st century? How did they think they could get away with such a crazy idea??
[+15] "Poach"? Isn't this something that happens all the time in the business world, in all industries? It works out for the talents if they're offered better opportunities. It's only a bad thing for the companies that are being poached from.
- [+45] But their company invested all this money and time into training the members in dancing, vocal, health, fitness, beauty, character, foreign languages, etc. To take all of that only after they've become famous seems unfair. This isn't simply a case of an employee being approached with a better opportunity because they themselves were working hard and improving themselves. That's why these contracts exist.
- [+26] I guess the major point here would be that Warner "attempted to entice the members to violate their contract terms"
[+-] No... protect them at all costs...!

[+326] ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Their CEO sold his own car to fund the group's music video and song, how could you try and steal that ㅋㅋㅋ what a thug
[+265] Warner could've just acquired their agency and merged, but they're resorting to this pathetic attempt instead
[+225] External force aside, it's up to the members to not falter. It won't be too late to transfer out later on if they want to. What the public likes right now is who they are, and that they aren't some factory punch out by another big agency. I hope they're being realistic about their situation.
[+132] Their CEO has invested so much into them.. this is just attempted theft
[+87] Their fame is based off of 'Cupid' going viral. That fame hasn't quite extended to the members themselves, yet... so I hope the members make their decisions with that in mind.
[+82] It's their song that got them famous... I don't know what any of them look like. Their fame is completely dependent on how well their next song does or they'll end up a flash in the pan.
[+55] If they leave now, they're just going to end up in a mess. You should have some loyalty for the person who made you.
[+47] I would say 90% of this group's success is based off of their producer's skill. I honestly don't see potential for them beyond mid-tier just off of the members alone... Acquiring their agency and merging them under would be ideal, but to poach the members at this stage is just asking for everyone to fail.
[+39] Anyone who's trying to poach you at this stage is no good for you...
[+37] The fact that the members considered it makes me think they've forgotten their hungry days ㅋㅋ ridiculous; Their fame is based off of one song alone, none of the international or domestic audience knows the members at all, only their song... They're better off keeping their trust in the agency that got them a viral song and yet they're willing to kick that away too ㅋㅋㅋ
[+22] Are the members even worth poaching???
